1) first, as usual it does not compile due to missing #include <asm/dma.h> *** pmac_setup.c~ Tue Jan 4 19:12:12 2000
--- pmac_setup.c Wed Jan 5 15:27:37 2000*************** *** 56,61 ****
--- 56,62 ----
#include <asm/feature.h>
#include <asm/ide.h>
#include <asm/machdep.h>
+ #include <asm/dma.h>
#include "time.h"
#include "local_irq.h"
2) God thing : the motorola Prep IDE handling has been corrected (byte swapping problem). I can now read IDE disks that I can boot directly via PPCBUG => hurra 3) BUT : I probably have no interrupts... I have a bizarre message : Keyboard timeout[2] and later I keep having message : hdc : lost interrupts allthough I managed to correctly read the hdc partition table after a while... 4) There is one thing I dislike it is the initialization of the PCI/IDE/ISA/USB/XXX bridge at several places including places that does not take into account specific IDE driver for the VIA... The VIA initialization is also incorrect as for the new boards, level/edge detection must be reprogrammed and 4d0/4d1 enabled before doing so... 5) I still do not understand why PCI IRQ number reassigning is necessary in prep_pcibios_fixup... Once I fixes the bug I will post my patches on the list. Any suggestion welcome... -- __ / ` Eric Valette /-- __ o _.
