Olaf,

Check out the userspace drivers:

I think you can save yourself a lot of grief, especially every time you 
update your kernel...

Hi,

since I want to start with my brand new xilinx Spartan 3e board on linux
I followed the Answer Record #22648 for the linux 2.6.21 kernel and
ISE9.1 at
http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_ans_display.jsp?iLanguageID=1&iCountryID=1&getPagePath=22648

Compiling the debian kernel I followed one of the howtos on net
(http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/debian_kernel2.6_compile/).

Anyway, compiling of the driver failed:

tuxler:/usr/src/xilinx-usb-driver/install_drivers# ./install_drivers
--Kernel version = 2.6.21-1-686.
--Arch = i686.
--Installer version = 1029
--User has root permission.
--File /lib/modules/misc/install_windrvr6 does not exist.
--Installing windrvr6---------------------------------------------

--File /sbin/fxload exists.
--install_pcusb rc =  0
--Module windrvr6 is not running.
--Module xpc4drvr is not running.
--Note: By default, the file permission of /dev/windrvr6 is enabled for
the root user only
  and must be changed to allow access to other users.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Thanks
