- We are in the process of upgrading our system(s) from AIX 3.1.5 to AIX 3.2 on
- our RS/6000's.
-
- We have written a device driver to handle worm jukeboxes, which works fine
- under 3.1.5, but the same device driver will not even LOAD under 3.2 !!!
-
- It fails during the loadext() call in the configuration methods, which is called
- by mkdev. Naturally we have kept the same device configuration parameters as
- we had under 3.1.5
-
- We have also re-compiled the drivers, but to no avail.
-
- We were lead to understand that this driver would work under 3.2, but obviously
- someone has forgotten something...
-
- Has anyone had any similar experiences with their custom device drivers ??
-
- ANY suggestions would be welcome.
-
- Regards,
-
- Stuart.
