hi..all i'm new to the kernel hacking ......
i'm trying to run the same system call as posted by newcat...but i'm getting the following output:

event #0 could not open
event #1 could not open
event #2 could not open
event -1 waiting
event -1 waked up
event -1 waiting
event -1 waked up
event -1 waiting
event -1 waked up
event -1 signaling
event -1 signaling
event -1 signaling
event -1 could not close
event -1 could not close
event -1 could not close

this is happening so because calling the first system call in my case is returning -1 value.
in fact if i'm running any system call then every system call is returning -1 value
what should i do???? where is the problem??????? i'm also looking at strace file but not getting any solution.
thank you in advance.
any help will be appreciable.
i know its very old post...but still if sumeone..
thank you

plzzzzz help............

Welcome to Linuxquestions.org (LQ). Since you're new here and probably didn't take time to read the LQ Rules (and How to Use LinuxQuestions.org) I would like to point out that necroposting, the practice of responding to a thread that died out long ago, is not useful. I have already requested this forums moderators to move your post to your own thread: that will help get your questions the exposure they deserve. Next to that please be patient. Members here will answer where and when they can so bumping your post within a period of 24 hours is not acceptable. Please do not do that.
