Subject: Re: Possible bug in insmod or the kernel?

have a look around kernel/params.c
/* You can use " around spaces, but can't escape ". */
/* Hyphens and underscores equivalent in parameter names. */
static char *next_arg(char *args, char **param, char **val)

Your printks are probably showing the single quotes? probably not what
you want in your name
