I've seen the change in the kernel for this call so I changed my device
drive to use the new call and now every time I access the device the
machine gets really unstable and crashes after a minute or so.
When changing over the call, what else do I need to change? All I did
was change the one call to the other. Do I have to do anything else?
If someone can't help me, can anybody recommend a consultant that I can
hire to get this working? I've already wasted three months on something
that is way beyond me.
TIA,
:b!

you forgot to post the URL to your source code, so how can we help you?

Look at the prototype(s)! One takes elements from a structure. The
newer(s) one take both elements from a structure PLUS a pointer to
the structure itself ... plus .... !
Here are some macros for various kernel versions....
Linux-2.6.10 to linux-current
#define REMAP(a,b,c,d,e) remap_pfn_range((a), (b), (c) >> PAGE_SHIFT, (d), (e))
Linux-2.6.9 Linux-2.6.8
#define REMAP(a,b,c,d,e) remap_page_range((a), (b), (c), (d), (e))
Linux-2.4.n to linux-2.6.5
#define REMAP(a,b,c,d,e) remap_page_range((b), (c), (d), (e))

You changed the function name and didn't change any parameters?
The page parameter must also be modified to become
a <pfn> parameter, e.g., change <page> to
page >> PAGE_SHIFT
however, yes, any other help would need source code.
