    Driver compilation problem for kernel release 2.6.35-23-generic

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to compile driver module in kernel release 2.6.35-23-generic (ubuntu 10.10). I'm getting error in request_irq API. The error message is, error: ‘SA_SHIRQ’ undeclared (first use in this function). The same module are able to compile in 2.6.9 machine. can any one help me to resolve this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    If this is a driver that you want to move from a 2.6.9 kernel to a 2.6.35 kernel, then there are likely to be incompatibilities due to changes to the kernel over time. Either get an updated driver, or you will have to deal with the incompatibilities yourself. If you are not a kernel driver developer, you may have to find/hire one, or learn what you need to do to fix it. This is not something we are likely to be able to help you with here...
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
