Hi

I am unable to get any kernel beyond  the 3.16 branch working on an
Acube Sam460ex
  AMCC 460ex based motherboard. Kernel  up 3.16.7-ckt6 working.

Does reverting b0345bbc6d09 change anything?

Great work.

     lib: bitmap: change parameter of bitmap_*_region to unsigned

So the bug is in the 4xx MSI code, and has always been there, in fact I don't
see how that code has *ever* worked. The commit you bisected to just caused the
existing bug to cause an oops.

Can you try this?

Thanks.
This works with 3.17-rc1. Will try with the 3.18 Branch .

OK great.

Any ideas why drm is not  working ? (It never worked) .

No sorry. You might have more luck if you post a new thread to the dri list.

I'm curious why it's failing to allocate MSIs. Possibly it's just run out.

Can you post the output of 'cat /proc/interrupts'?

cheers
