Hi. Sorry for the intrusion but I've searched the archives and can't
seem to find the answer for my problem.
After using mmap() map a peripheral card's PCI base address registers to
user space on my Dell Dimension 4550 (Dell BIOS), I cause a segmentation
fault by accessing the mapped memory.
My OS is Redhat 9 and the underlying kernel is 2.4.20-8. The code works
fine on a generic computer (Award BIOS) running exactly the same kernel.
My driver for the card also maps the PCI base address registers in
kernel space for the driver's usage, but like I mentioned, the code
works fine on the other computer.
Here's my code and command line output (please pardon my non-gdb testing
procedure):
////////////////////// code /////////////////////////
