Hi, I've been trying to figure this out for several weeks with no luck. I changed over from Redhat with 2.2 kernel to Sarge with 2.4. But my hardware includes a Stallion ONboard ISA card. This worked fine before, but now I get: devfs_register(cue): could not append to parent, err: -17 ...when I try to load the istallion.o module. If I've done my homework well the difference seems to be that the new istallion.o uses devfs, while the old one used /dev/cuaE* & ttyS* files. I don't have devfs installed on my system, and it seems too complicated to install just to get this one driver to work (plus it's going away anyway). I'd much rather get a istallion.o or .c that works with 2.4 without devfs. I tried to compile the old istallion.c with the kernel-source for Sarge, but no surprise that didn't work. Not a coder so hacking the istallion.c and .h that comes with the kernel-source is way over my head. I've been searching like crazy, is there someplace I can look in hopes of finding the istallion driver for 2.4 that just uses the old /dev devices??? The company that bought Stallion doesn't support it anymore, but somebody out there has been updating the driver for newer kernels -- I've seen the names James Nelson, Herbert Xu, and Adrian Bunk associated with this but I don't know if they are the right people anymore. Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
