BUG: stallion module cannot register it's ISR in a 2.6.10 kernelon a FC3 system

From: Burn Alting
Date: Fri Feb 18 2005 - 03:50:02 EST


Here is the bug report. Stallion was purchased by Lantronix and they
don't really care about this bug.

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Stallion 4 port IO card fails when modprobe'd into kernel

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Under Fedora Core 3 using a ftp.kernel.org 2.6.10 kernel, when
the stallion driver module is loaded into the kernel error
messages appear in /var/log/messages. Then, if a port is accessed
further messages appear and IRQ 11 is disabled/turned off.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
stallion, serial, kernel

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.6.10 (root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.4.2
20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)) #1 Fri Feb 18 17:44:05 EST 2005

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)

modprobe stallion
