Hi, This is the last message on this thread. I have found the problem... I had a defective memory bank!
Bad chance: the deffective bank was the last one. I supose that this is why it would only stop during the link phase (lots of memory needed?). One interresting fact is that I had previously run a memory checking program for 1 hour and no error were reported! Very strange! In any case, I want to thank everyone for reading and replying to those messages. I have been working on this since fiday. I have ruined my week-end again... But at least, I have now my computer running with my first device driver working: Remember that one: I was trying to understand IOCTL. Well I have succeeded to talk to a small board (2 DAC only, no spinlock yet). I want to thank you for the help with this one too.
