Hi, anybody knows why in the MCPN765 port KERNELBASE is at 0xa0000000 instead of 0xc0000000 ?
Yep. It was a quick hack to get a system with 1GByte of memory working. It works fine with all other memory configurations as well. I don't see any reason anymore (once Matt Porter dumps all of the PReP stuff :-) that we shouldn't be able to move all kernel base addresses to 0x80000000 or to allow 3 G user spaces. On PowerPC, we are simply tossing away 1G of address space that should be utilized to make our life easier. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
