Linux Kernel 2.6.21: ftdi_sio crash

[paulkoan]

Hello,

Have any linux users tried usb_uirt with the 2.6.21 kernel? It was working well with 2.6.20 but with .21 I get the following crash when ftdi_fio loads.

I'll probably have to revert, but if anyone has any pointers about how to fix this...

Paul

This is a known issue with that kernel.

For Fedora Core 7, it's supposed to be fixed in kernel-2.6.22.1-33.fc7.

[paulkoan]

Ah, good find.

My google-fu skills weren't up to the job clearly. I have reverted to a .20 kernel for now but if anyone else happens across this thread there does appear seem to be a working patch for .21 kernels. May even work with the .22 kernels that don't have the bugfix.

The OP of the bug also used the original ftdi_sio from .20 to get this working.
