Hi all, i was trying to find the uart_driver & freinds in my 2.4.2-2 kernel. it seems this struct was not present then. My apologies for raising the S.O.S! :) is this functionality there in any of the 2.4 kernels or will i have to install a 2.5.x ver.??? lastly is advisable to try & write a serial port driver using the old structs like tty_driver etc. or will it be a waste of time...... tia, mandeep -----Original Message----- From: Greg KH [mailto:greg@kroah.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2003 10:12 PM To: Mandeep Singh Sandhu Cc: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: Re: SOS: unable to locate struct uart_driver!!

Why are you looking under /usr/src? Did you put your kernel source there? I'd really recommend _not_ doing that, and working on the kernel source tree in your own directory. > does this mean that this is not present in the source or is the > script incorrect???

It's there, try: wget ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.0.tar.gz tar -zxvf linux-2.6.0.tar.gz cd linux-2.6.0/include/linux grep uart_driver * Good luck, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
