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 ..........

Thanks
