I do have that board installed. Currently I am using only 1 out of its
32 ports. That port seems to work. I do intent to use more ports.
Doesn't the following /proc/iomem output shows that I should have the
64K starting at 0xe0000 free for this module?
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-0009efff : System RAM
000a0000-000bffff : Video RAM area
000d8000-000dffff : Extension ROM
000f0000-000fffff : System ROM
00100000-07ffffff : System RAM
00100000-0020c865 : Kernel code
0020c866-0026d8cf : Kernel data
BTW: this list gets printed even though the istallion module is
installed.
