Re: Problem with a IBM ServerRAID and it's PCI-bridge

Hi,

We are trying to build the ips driver for the IBM ServerRAID 4H
card.

The last time I looked, this driver was not endian safe.

When the kernel is booting do we get some information about some
fixup function that are moving the cards I/O-adress from fffc00 to
1fffc00. (Output from dmesg is included below.)

Thats fine, its due to the way io apertures for different host bridges
are handled. The apertures are mapped in one after the other so that only
the first one has no offset.

If you have more than one host bridge, you have to add the offset since
the io ports are all relative to the start of the first host bridge
aperture.
