io-pkt -di82544 vs mount -T io-pkt /../.../devnp-i82544.so  
Hello,

On 6.5 SP1 / PPC - PMC with a 82546B (dual port Gbit) 

Why I can start my driver with 
io-pkt-v4-hc -d i82544 -ptcpip

and not  by :

io-pkt-v4-hc -ptcpip 
mount -T io-pkt /proc/boot/devnp-i82544.so  (error devnp-i82544 :  no such device ) 

thanks

Check the sloginfo to see if there is more information on why it fails.

Loading the driver at startup it loads in the startup context with a normal stack space available, loading it via mount 
it loads in an io-pkt context with a much smaller stack space available so you may be blowing the stack. See the "
stacksize" tcpip option to increase it.

Thanks Nick, with a bigger stacksize the mount -T works fine now.
