Hi, Thanks a lot. I am facing one more problem. There is one section of the driver where we map a small portion of the PCI card's memory into user space. During driver initialization, a magic number is written into this space and read back from user space to verify the driver is set up correctly. This fails. any other way to locate the problem?
