Matt, Your messages have two problems, at least for me: 1) You never include any substantive information regarding the problem you are facing, leaving us to divine the actual problem. 2) It appears that you are thinking faster than you type, with the result that what you have typed is difficult to understand. We are happy to help, but you need to provide a little more in the way of clear, concise problem statements. Code snippets help. Be assured that declaring a variable does not cause a kernel panic. Something else is causing it. One way to figure out what the problem, on your own, is to use the kernel debugger. You can do this in two ways: 1) use remote debugging, as explained in the documentation tree; connect to the crashed system from another system, and get a stack traceback. That will start you on the path to narrowing down the search for the cause of the crash. 2) get the information from the crash, reboot, and use the debugger on your system to look at the code. You can use this information to figure out where the crash took place, and work backwards from there.

I took example project from nke and modified it. Now why would adding char * values cause it to panic?
