Hello SLUG users... I have a problem of which someone maybe able to help in suggesting what I am doing wrong with creating a link within my Ubuntu Feisty Fawn distro so as a customised linux driver for a I/O industrial control card will load on startup when rebooting the system.
What is happening is that the driver loads no problem but the driver devices nodes wont install so I have to install the driver each time when rebooting with root privilages make devices make make install As Per instructions supplied I have added a line to etc/modules //alias char-major-244 pci-dda0X-16.ko// I then created the file /etc/udev/links.conf. adding the following lines M dda0X-16_DA0 c 244 0 M dda0X-16_DA1 c 244 1 M dda0X-16_DA2 c 244 2 M dda0X-16_DA3 c 244 3 M dda0X-16_DA4 c 244 4 M dda0X-16_DA5 c 244 5 M dda0X-16_DA6 c 244 6 M dda0X-16_DA7 c 244 7 M dda0X-16_DIO_0A c 244 8 M dda0X-16_DIO_0B c 244 9 M dda0X-16_DIO_0C c 244 10 M dda0X-16_DIO_1A c 244 11 M dda0X-16_DIO_1B c 244 12 M dda0X-16_DIO_1C c 244 13 What is supposed to happen on rebooting is that the device nodes should get installed and end up in /dev/dda0X-16*. It has been suggested that the script above that was created in /etc/udev/links.conf should have worked. Its possible it is a dependancy problem as the gentleman who wrote the driver is running Red Hat Fedora and I am running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Its a long shot but maybe someone on SLUG might have an idea. Any suggestions greatfully recieved.
