Kernel 2.6.x and SL811HS Problem

Hello All: 

 

We are using an SL811HS USB host in our system, running the Microtronix 2.6.4 kernel and are having the following issue. 

 

I am compiling in the SL811-HCD driver and, when booting the kernel, the driver loads, prints a single line of introductory header information to the console and then, apparently, quits. 

 

I find that the driver, after printing the header information from the function sl811h_init(void), does not chip-select the SL811 and so I stuck a  

printk("STARTING PROBE") statement into the function sl811h_probe(struct device *dev) just to see if if's getting that far and... it isn't.  

 

Getting back into sl811h_init(void), I check the return value from  

driver_register(&sl811h_driver)  

and it is 0 but this is as far as I have gotten so far. 

 

The SL811HS driver in the previous version of the kernel seemed to work well although I never really got the chance to hammer it. I don't believe that this problem exists in the SL811-HCD driver file itself but, of course, I could always be wrong!! 

 

In searching through this Forum, I found another post which describes what I believe to be the same problem but... no responses thus far. 

 

 

Any ideas??? 

 

Thanks in Advance!

It's been long time since you were working on that driver, But right now Im working on that driver as well and I got the same problem. Im wondering if you solved that problem and If you could tell me some information about that driver. Thanks a lot.
