modules.pcimap

modules.pcimap

[shyam]

Hi,
I find that on doing depmod in /lib/modules/'uname-r'/   the 
modules.pcimap does not contain the serial PCI driver that I am 
implementing. My kernel version is 2.6.9-1.667 and I have 
module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3 installed. I am not able to understand 
whether it the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE that I am exporting that is creating 
the problem or it is a depmod bug.
thanks in advance,
shyam

Hi Shyam

I have also just started on Linux Kernel 2.6 and went through a bit of 
darkness to get my drivers going, so I might be able to help you.
1) Have you used the new PCI driver structure to write your driver 
(<kernel source>/Documentation/pci.txt & <kernel 
source>/Documentation/driver-model/driver.txt)
2) Can you load an unload your driver successfully with depmod from your 
source directory and any other directory?
3) Have you install the driver under the correct directory under 
/lib/modules/<kernel ver>/kernel/drivers/ ?

Cheers
Jan

Re: modules.pcimap

[shyam]

hi,
I have implemented the driver using the new PCI driver structure.And I 
am able to load the module but I feel my probe routine does not seem to 
work. I feel the driver is not getting bound to the device at all.
There is one more thing that I have come to know. Kay maybe you can 
understand my problem now. I see that the vendor ID for the Exar card is 
being supported by the 8250/16550 device driver part of the kernel. 
Hence I think that the this serial driver is getting control of the 
device and getting bound to it. Hence my driver can not probe the device 
now. Is there anyway other than recompiling the kernel without this 
driver which can override this kernel driver so that I can load my 
driver as module and register to the device.
thanks,
shyam

Do you have a pointer to your code anywhere so we could review it?

No.  So your driver also binds to the same device as another one?  Does
it do something different from the other driver?

thanks,

Why?  Like anyone who top posts would take the time to read a FAQ?  :)

Ok I give up!

In this is case it is Frequently Questions to Answers or FQA by greg k-h:)

I reputable study about top-posting and mid-posting or 
point-inserted-posting (or PIP) has shown that mid-posting to be the 
most understandable solution with smaller email responses or queries and 
answers to queries, comments etc. However when large complicated email 
letters gets formed by a vast amount of response, especially when more 
than one source replies, the mid-posting technique becomes unclear, 
confusing and cluttered. It also becomes difficult to merge all response 
into one letter. So to conclude in a one-liner-answer-to-question kind 
of response, mid-posting is better, but in a letter type response 
top-posting is the better option.

Cheers
Jan
