Hi,
I also use the old type of shared memory with 64Mb RAM and a 2.2.14 linux kernel.
I append lilo.conf with "mem=63m" (but I haven't look at /proc/meminfo).
Because I didn't find the ioremap() function in this kernel version, I used the
function
phys_to_virt() in my module (the function is defined in /asm/page.h I think) :
#define BASE_ADDRESS (63*0x100000)
...
MY_STRUCT *m_s;
...
m_s=(MY_STRUCT*)phys_to_virt(BASE_ADDRESSS);
m_s->first_field = ...;
...
It works.
Cyril.
