Hello Chris, But the system works pretty fine when other applications are running. Oncei load the driver, the system gets messed up. Could it be the problem with the way I handle DMA and interrupts?? I mean, is it possible to mess up everything by wrong programming??? This driver works prefectly on the other IPCs we have, but not on the two-piece board (Chino-Laxons) systems we have. The DMA channels are both free before loading the drivers all the time, and one it is loaded, the /proc/dma file shows the DMA has been hooked properly. Could it still be the problem with the CPU/Cache/Chipset as you said? If yes, then why is it throwing up the error only when I load the driver? Or is it really the problem with the driver programming? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank You in advance, Harish K Harshan.
