Dear All,
Need some urgent help in installing a very old PCI card under Linux (RH) kernel 2.4.20-8smp. Can anyone help ?
Problem is as follows. We have a high speed data acquisition system based on a 16
bit 4 port PCI card purchased 7-8 years back. One of our colleagues wrote the device
driver (a pretty good one at that) as none was available and compiled it for RH6 prevailing
kernel. The system has worked fine since then.
Recently, I wanted to move the system to 2.4.20-8 kernel and encountered some problems.
First, I discovered that "remap_page_range" function's prototype had changed from 3 arguments to 4.
This was simple to fix and the source code compiled after suitable modification and the
card worked has worked fine last three months.
Now, I need to move to an SMP kernel (2.4.20-8smp) and I find that a compilation for this
results in a large number of warnings and error messages. Not being an expert on Linux,
it is quite
. Can you guys help and tell me what I am doing wrong ?
The compile line and the errors are listed below. The source of the driver does not
fit in the allowable message length, but I can send it if required , separately.
Thanks,
B C Joshi
