This is what I wrote for FreeBSD 7.2 and it does not work:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/kernel.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>

static struct callout timer_callout;

static void
timer_function(void *arg)
{
        if (callout_reset(&timer_callout, hz, timer_function, NULL))
                uprintf("callout_reset() != 0\n");
        uprintf("Hello, World!\n");
}

static int
timer_event_handler(struct module *mod, int cmd, void *arg)
{
        switch (cmd) {
        case MOD_LOAD:
                callout_init(&timer_callout, CALLOUT_MPSAFE);
                if (callout_reset(&timer_callout, hz, timer_function, NULL))
                        uprintf("callout_reset() != 0\n");
                break;
        case MOD_UNLOAD:
                callout_drain(&timer_callout);
                break;
        case MOD_SHUTDOWN:
                break;
        default:
                return EOPNOTSUPP;
        }
        return 0;
}

static struct moduledata timer_moduledata = {
        "timer",
        timer_event_handler,
        NULL
};

DECLARE_MODULE(timer, timer_moduledata, SI_SUB_DRIVERS, SI_ORDER_MIDDLE);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but I do not know why...
I basically run through many different examples I found within the kernel and 
they are not different from this module.

Does anyone see any clear issue?
