Re: some questions on new dual 1Gig G4's support?

Is this L3 cache problem with DOZE and NAP an errata for 7450?  I looked
in the updates 7450 manual (with 7455 specifics already added to it) and I
did not see any limitations on NAP or DOZE (it is 840 some pages long so
perhaps I am not lookingin the right places yet).

No. It's 2 things. First the NAP must be disabled depending on the
errata (7450 + L3), but also, neither the 7450 nor the 7455 support
DOZE, they can only NAP or do nothing. Worst, on the 7455, it's bad
to set HID0:DOZE as it actually has a different meaning.

So let's split the can doze & can nap into 2 different features.

quoted

pmac_feature.c : add an entry in the machine table for your machine
based on OF "model" property.

According to the Apple developers note just released for this machine its
model ID is simply "PowerMac3,5" which is unchanged from previous versions
and already covered in the pmac_feature.c file.

Ok.

So I will spend my time reading up on NAP and DOZE and trying to see if
and how that has changed since the 7450.

Thanks for all your help!
