Thanks for your prompt reply ...

I am using kernel version 2.6.20 ...
OK, that kernel has the irq remapping stuff.
May I know what raw IRQ means ? ? ? and what is the reason I cant map
raw_irq_number ???
Sorry, that's not the best terminology.

I guess the right name is hardware irq number.

You can't map it because the kernel keeps a mapping between hardware irq
numbers and virtual irq numbers. request_irq() expects a virtual irq
number.

cheers
