Hi all, On 10 Aug, this message from Mike Fedyk echoed through cyberspace: > OK, I've been able to compile it successfully. Changes included.
Good. > I haven't booted the kernel yet. Can someone take a look at the patch to > see if I may have made any bad changes? Well, if it compiles and works like that, than it should be OK. You only changed #include's, after all... > Maybe the actual files in asm-ppc should be changed instead? Which ones are you refering to? You only changed .c files; no header files. Under asm-ppc, there are only header files..... > If it is good, I'll send it to Hedrick for the > next patch release. Looks good to me. THough I am a bit surprised by you being able to remove asm/ide.h from generic IDE driver files... > Also, there is an include for asm/ide.h in apus_setup.c.

Basically, originally 68k-Amigas upgraded with PPC processors; so no wonder they're a hybrid of m68k and ppc ;-). I would _guess_ they need the <asm/ide.h> replaced by <linux/ide.h> too. > Michel, I'm going to do another compile with your pci-fixup patch.

I never tested it there; but since the problem (for your IDE card) is with access to PCI IO ports, _any_ ppc 2.2 kernel would suffer from that problem, independant of the precise hardware.
