Has anyone else noticed a problem with the Redhat Kernel compiled
with the default register parameters?
I'm looking at porting a legacy set of modules written for LiS 2.12
and the 2.4.18 kernel to the Red Hat 2.6.9-34 kernel.
The initial problem I encountered was that the open routine in the
module was getting garbage in it's parameter. I enabled debug
output, and it showed that, just before it called my routine, it had
the right parameters.
Finally, I ended up recompiling the kernel again with regparms turned
off, and recompiled LiS correctly. I required a modification to the
Makefile, since the configure script didn't retrieve the
configuration options correctly, then it finally started to work.
Note, I haven't tried the most recent version of Fast Streams yet. I
couldn't get the streams module to load successfully in the January
version. Unfortunately, I didn't save any of the error output. I
may give it another try in the not to distant future, if only because
if it works, it will save a considerable amount of memory. It is
hard to believe how much memory the current version of streams is
taking up :)
