RE: m8xx hang in reboot (fwd)

OK, I'll add my guess :-).  Do you have the address IMAP_ADDR cached (which would be a Very Bad Thing!)?  If so, you sometimes would read the cached value (no machine check) rather than the physical value (machine check -> reset).

The saga continues...  ;-)

I added code to explicitly clear the CHSTPE bit in the DER register.
Didn't make any difference.

I'm stumped.

Subject: m8xx hang in reboot

Hey Folks,

I've got an mpc850 based setup running 2.4.27 that, under certain
circumstances, hangs in the the m8xx_restart() function (instead of
rebooting)
when I issue the usermode reboot cmd.

I've traced all through the path and confirmed that yes, it
is hanging in
quoted
this
function.  ;-)

I'm still looking over the databook and what this code
does.  Just figured
quoted
I'd
ask around and see if anyone else has seen this behavior.

Thanks,
-Mark

Thanks for the input, but I don't believe this is it.  We're accessing a
location IMAP_ADDR+someoffset that's reserved space to generate a bus
error.

Thanks for the consideration,
