I posted a strange problem a couple of weeks ago and Alan gave me some homework to get more data.
I am now back with this data and a few gray hairs in the bargain. I was having getting an ISO driver to run and we were able to point to an EHCD problem - Fine however I was able to bypass that problem and eventually ended up with another problem and that was getting the driver to run on SUSE 9.3 Kernel 2.6.11. Alan Stern suggested I try different kernels to see where the problem lay there. In the meantime I successfully ran the driver on Debian running 2.6.11 kernel. To this day I have not succeeded in getting the driver to run on SuSE 9.3. with the stock kernel. 9.2 yes 9.3 no. I have conduced a thorough code review and cleaned some dark corners however the driver will still not run. Following Alan's suggestion I have loaded Kernel 2.6.10 and also 2.6.12.1 on the SuSE 9.3 ,machine that run perfectly when I had SuSE 9.2 (2.6.8) running - We know the machine will run the driver and it is not a hardware issue. OK Following me so far: Running 2.6.10 - Driver ran perfectly. 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 no dice My ISO callback comes back and every frame has a status code of -84. OK This story is going to get stranger. On my production machine running SuSE 9.3 I am running VMWARE 5.0 and am able so get ISO transfers through that machine in windows. SuSE ISO is working with my hardware. I double checked to see if my driver would work - lo and behold it works perfectly. So to get my driver to work in SuSE 9.3 I need to run VMware and load a virtual windows machine. I can then run my driver to my hearts content. even after vmware has been shutdown and from then on after. On a freshly booted machine the driver repeatedly will not allow ISO in. Any ideas or hints please ..........
