If you use this HZ value directly in your driver and , it could be a problem. Warm Regards Arun "Harlan Jillson" wrote: hi all, I just subscribed to the list, and am looking for some suggestions. I have a device driver for a RS485 card that does microlan communications between several devices. The driver was written a couple of years ago using the 2.2 kernel in RH 6.1. It's was updated for 2.4 kernel when RH7.3 was released and has been working fine. RH8.0 is apparently a different story, as there appears to be problems with scheduled timeouts (polling intervals) and maybe some interrupt issues. My question is are there any known problems ( RH kernel 2.4.18-3)? I know I'm dealing the revamps in the scheduler and timer areas and then there's the shift from gcc 2.96 to 3.2.
