OK. I have downloaded linux-2.4.19-pre6 and compiled it, and then made
another attempt at compiling and installing linux-gpib-3.1.2.

This time everything went perfectly smoothly. Really strange. I guess
subtle things have changed since 2.4.9.

Anyway, the driver now loads but it can't find the INES board. This is
the message I get when I try to run the ibtest program :

Apr  5 16:25:21 cusp kernel: Linux-GPIB Driver -- Kernel Release 2.4.19-p=
re6
Apr  5 16:25:21 cusp kernel: gpib: registered ines_pci interface
Apr  5 16:25:50 cusp kernel: gpib: no ines PCI board found
Apr  5 16:25:50 cusp kernel: GPIB Hardware Error! (Chip type not found or=
 wrong Base Address?)

Looking in driver/ines/ines_init.c, I see that the init code looks for
a board that has vendor_id and device_id INES_VENDOR_ID and
INES_DEV_ID, but my Ines board does not advertise itself as such :

/sbin/lspci -vv :

00:0b.0 PIC: Applied Micro Circuits Corporation: Unknown device 8507 (pro=
g-if 00 [8259])
	Subsystem: Applied Micro Circuits Corporation: Unknown device 1072
	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Step=
ping- SERR- FastB2B-
	Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=3Dmedium >TAbort- <TAbo=
rt- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5
	Region 0: I/O ports at e400 [size=3D128]
	Region 1: I/O ports at e800 [size=3D32]


I will try to replace the INES_VENDOR_ID and INES_DEV_ID with the
values obtained with lspci and see what happens.

All the best,
Marc
