Hi, all I am writing a driver to support MPC8260 hardware timers. The very moment I call request_irq(), kernel dies without a warning (I use 2.4.4 kernel).
I was looking through the kernel code and I discovered that other drivers use request_8xxirq() instead of request_irq(). Now, those things have been defined to be same in /arch/ppc/kernel/irq.c, but both appear in System.map. Which one should I use? Also, anyone have any ideas why kernel would die? I am trying to hook to interrupt 0x0c (Timer0) and I checked SIMR_L register to make sure Timer interrupts are masked. Thanks, Rudolf ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
