We've written a custom ISA device driver for a product we manufacturer.
The driver works great when compiled into the kernel (on 2.0.5 & 2.1.0).
The driver uses ioctl calls to write data to the board and there is an
intr handler. We've recently experimented with loadable kernel modules
and the driver again loads/seems normal. The problem is all the ioctl
calls timeout (using a select statement). It seems the driver isn't
getting interrupts from the board. Any suggestions?
The driver code is exactly the same when compiled with the kernel
or without. The lkm code has an additional C file for the load/unload
functions.
Thanks for any suggestions/help.
