I already load the keymap after insmod and before running vdr.
If I get you right, you say vdr exits on an ARM crash and then the 
underlying runvdr script reloads the driver and restarts vdr?
Well, I believe I wouldn't have had the problem then, on the other hand I'm 
quite sure that vdr didn't restart, because I remember that I was watching 
a VCD the first time and a vdr recording the second time. And believe me, I 
would have noticed if vdr would have restarted ;-)
But maybe we think of different driver reloadings...

Andreas
