Hi,

I am running FreeBSD 7.0 on an i386 system.

I want to know if there is way to keep running the timer callouts even duri=
ng
 a module load. I have kernel module, which takes around 60 =96 90 seconds
for loading. But I see that none of my timer callouts are working during th=
e
time my module is loading.

Is there any way to switch control to the callout threads while a module
load is going on?

Thanks,
VV
