[sancho1980]

hi

ive written a simple cmos driver and try to load it
but when i do insmod, i get

[ 9664.617003] cmos: I/O port 0x70 is not free.

how can i find out which other module is using this port?

thanks

This is not a forum for Linux kernel questions, but stepping outside of this canned response.. perhaps it's conflicting with another module?

Now go eat a cookie, watch some television.. and forget that you posted here.

See Brynet-Inc's answer. Then perhaps grep dmesg output for 0x70...?

Right, that's why I asked WHICH other module... (?!?!?)

True. @OP:

Hi, maybe you could try the http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelHacking Linux KErnel Hacking community instead. I'm sure they'll have something more useful to say. Most people here don't actually re-use parts of the linux kernel, as far as I can tell.

--Good luck
