XSysAce driver cant mount DOS part

[Robertson, Joseph M.]

Hi all,

I've been workig with this for a while but have made no progress.
Today I got the latest XSysAce patch for kernel 2.6.17.1 and applied it to get clean code.  
I inherited the previous code from another developer.

My problem is that mounting the DOS partition always fails in a short time with a kernel oops.

Call Trace:                                   

The setup:
My own build system.
Kernel 2.6.17.1 with lots of xilinx stuff, eth, i2c, xsysace.  Crosscompiled for PPC405.
Latest, clean XSysAce code.  mods:  major hardcoded to = 125.  Polled mode.
CF:  3 partitions,
1:  DOS FAT16
2:  Ext2  main
3:  Ext2  rescue

This build boots up fine, mounts a ext2 as root fine.  I can also mount the rescue partition with no problems.

Does anyone have any pointers of where I should look for problems?

My next step is to go and set it up for interrupt service and see if that changes anything.
 
Thanks,

Joe Robertson
