And here's a patch which converts the OMAP FB code to use lmb_reserve instead of poking about with bootmem stuff. Untested, so I'd like to hear back whether it works.Did a quick test with the following patches picked from your lmb branch on top of omap for-next branch: ARM: Remove useless linux/bootmem.h includes ARM: Ensure meminfo is sorted prior to sanity_check_meminfo ARM: initial LMB trial ARM: Move platform LMB memory reservations out of generic code and then this patch. It does not boot.. It seems to be related to the patch "ARM: initial LMB trial". If I only apply the first two patches above the system boots.Hmm, I'm sure it worked for me when I tested it out. Could you try booting with lmb=debug please?No other output with that it seems.Hang on, you didn't pick up ARM: Move memory mapping into mmu.c ?
I just gave a try on OMAP3430 and it does boot for me. But fb doesn't seems to be working. I have tried this on Tony's "omap-testing" branch where the LMB support is pulled in ********************************************************* omapfb omapfb: failed to allocate framebuffer omapfb omapfb: failed to allocate fbmem omapfb omapfb: failed to setup omapfb omapfb: probe of omapfb failed with error -12 twl_rtc twl_rtc: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00: *********************************************************** Regards, Santosh
