mmap, PCI, segmentation fault, Dell Dimension 4550

Scott,

Maybe I'm blind but where is bar0[x] ... defined.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi. Sorry for the intrusion but I've searched the archives and can't seem to find the answer for my problem.

After using mmap() map a peripheral card's PCI base address registers to user space on my Dell Dimension 4550 (Dell BIOS), I cause a segmentation fault by accessing the mapped memory.

My OS is Redhat 9 and the underlying kernel is 2.4.20-8. The code works fine on a generic computer (Award BIOS) running exactly the same kernel.

My driver for the card also maps the PCI base address registers in kernel space for the driver's usage, but like I mentioned, the code works fine on the other computer.

Here's my code and command line output (please pardon my non-gdb testing procedure):

////////////////////// code /////////////////////////

int Software_Radio::get_bars()
{
printf("get_bars\n"); // TEST LINE
uchar config_data[256];
off_t physical_bars[5];

  if(ioctl(filep, CONFIG_READ, config_data) == -1)
    perror("\nSoftware_Radio::get_bars() ioctl() CONFIG_READ failed");

  physical_bars[0]=((off_t)config_data[PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0] |
           ((off_t)config_data[PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0 + 1] << 8) |
           ((off_t)config_data[PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0 + 2] << 16) |
