The 2.6.13 kernel requires an updated vt1211 driver. Using an old vt1211 driver gives
a kernel "Oops" when sysfs files are accessed to monitor the hw.
A patch for 2.6.13 is available at http://hem.bredband.net/ekmlar/linux-2.6.13-vt1211.patch.txt
or attached to this FAQ here.
This patch is to be applied to a plain-kernel 2.6.13.
You'll find more informations on that page...
you can alternatively also grab a copy of the plain vt1211.c file -
The driver can be built manually with:
echo "obj-m := vt1211.o" > Makefile
make -C /path/to/your/kernel2.6/source/dir SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
The patch also works with kernel 2.6.13.2.
