I read it less often than I do the other lists. Maybe if you could send me your driver, I can point out the problems in it. Since you didn't provide any code, it really is hard to guess what might be going wrong. isa_compat.h almost certainly isn't the answer, since that's only for drivers in a transition period from the old APIs to the new ones.
