LinuxQuestions.org - kernel panic when trying to load ndiswrapper module

Maybe try to use gdb to get an error of relevance. Or maybe one was posted to the logs? I don't know if you are an expert but I am sure not. Using gdb is uncomfortable at best for someone who doesn't really get it. I tried to run modprobe under gdb on my machine as an example. I am of course assuming you are able to boot the system, or can chroot to it.

I did something like this: (I don't know if this is the correct procedure check the man page for more info)

Code:

# gdb modprobe

Reading symbols from /sbin/modprobe...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

(gdb) run /sbin/modprobe

I'm not sure if this will give you any useful output as I am not quite sure if you can stick the 'ndiswrapper' on there. Also try checking 'dmesg | tail' sometimes there are clues here. Or you can go and read days worth of logs from dmesg by checking /var/log/dmesg. Hope some of this helps.
