When loading your driver at init time, you ought to detach the driver
resource at least.  I think you want to renumber everything then load it
all into memory and detach all the resources.  You need to detach because
as soon as the init finishes executing, its resource file is closed and
the resource manager releases all the resources.

From reading your post, I'm not sure it helps, but I hope it does.
