Hello,
I'm trying to build a kernel that mounts a NFS root file system. This is
an embedded system; it uses an SMSC LAN91C111 network chip that is
hardwired to I/O addres 0x300 and IRQ 5. I've been using the driver (as
supplied by SMSC) as a module, and it works fine. Now I'm trying to
incorporate it into the kernel build so that I can mount an NFS file
system when the system boots.
I've added the source code to the kernel tree, and modified the
Makefile(s) and Config.in files so that the driver <<appears>> to be
compiled into the kernel. The kernel will load, but the chip is not
initialized and the NFS fails.
Since I don't know how to pass the io address and irq number to the
kernel, I've hard-coded them into the driver's init function (which I
don't see being called).
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
Bob Wirka
