Re: Radeon 7000 in 9500 - which slot?

I have seen in Linux-PPC archives (mostly YDL archives) that a Radeon
7000 must live in the top slot of a 9500 to work in Linux. Any truth
to this rumor still? Indeed I have this card in the 4th slot, and I
get a crash into the debugger while booting 2.4.20pre5. Should I
provide a backtrace or just put it in the top slot?

Yes, provide a backtrace. I suspect you need the radeon in a slot
where the low IO addresses are available for XFree to work, but
neither radeonfb nor offb should have this limitation, so the
crash you have is a bug.

we had this one before.

pci_device_to_OF_node() returns null and you pass this to get_property()
