Hi ,
I am working on a board which has 512MB RAM . The PCI space is from
0xe0000000 to 0xf8000000.
0xf8000000 -- 0xfc000000 device 1
Remaining for other I/0(Flash/RTC..etc)

When i try to load any module(insmod), the kernel crashes every time .

Sounds like you clobbered vmalloc space.  Did you use io_block_map()
calls and limit the amount of vmalloc space available?  How much
address space have you ioremapped before loading the module?

Assuming you aren't using any advanced options to change PAGE_OFFSET
and friends, your vmalloc space starts at 0xe1000000.  I sure hope
you haven't 1:1 mapped that PCI mem space into kernel virtual space.
