RC3 up and running fine booting to SI card with both cards in. Of course we can still not use compiz but I noticed Compton wouldn't work either (probably because of SI card) so I use Macro software for composting. Latest ArticFox also working great.
Thanks for your continued work.

Interesting. This suggest it is related to the use of ZONE_DMA by
the FSL SOCs that your board uses. Let me investigate this a bit more.
As a hack to check that theory I've pushed a new commit to the
powerpc-dma.6-debug branch to use old powerpc GFP_DMA selection
with the new dma direct code:
http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc ... d85f403f06
And another one that drops the addressability checks that powerpc
never had:
http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc ... a13ac3b669
Can you first test with both patches, and then just with the first
in case that worked?
Hi All,
I tested Christoph's latest DMA patches today. I successfully compiled kernels for the X5000 and X1000 from his Git '
powerpc-dma.6-debug' (both patches).
X5000: The kernel detects the SATA hard disk drive and boots without any problems.
X1000: The kernel boots and the P.A. Semi Ethernet works!
I will test just the first patch tomorrow.
Link to the test thread:
use generic DMA mapping code in powerpc V4
Cheers,
Christian

Next step just with the first patch:
5c532d07c2f3c3972104de505d06b8d85f403f06 (use powerpc zone selection)
Code: Select all
git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git -b powerpc-dma.6-debug a
Code: Select all
git checkout 5c532d07c2f3c3972104de505d06b8d85f403f06
Link to the Git:
powerpc-dma.6-debug
Results:
X5000: The kernel detects the SATA hard disk drive and boots without any problems.
X1000: The kernel boots and the P.A. Semi Ethernet works!
