It seems there is platform with mcp55 for AM2. Is that cheap enough? YH

I could spend some time to port one AM2 socket based MB, but the MB should be more popular in the open market. Any good candidate?

Get one infiband pci-e card, it should works with LinuxBIOS and kernel with 4G above pref-mem. I wonder if the recent pci_assign_unassigned_resources moving around in kernel, broke sth.

My large device gets disabled somewhere in LinuxBIOS or the kernel. This is the encouraging line from LinuxBIOS telling me that the registers are indeed set correctly. PCI: 05:01.0 18 <- [8000000000 - bfffffffff] prefmem64 Unfortunately, Linux sees something different and fails to allocate this region because it sees it at 00000080-000000bf and that conflicts with other things. Does anyone have a pointer to where I should look for this problem? Has anyone else had problems with devices larger than 4GB? Thanks, Myles

Boot log? In LinuxBIOS, there is CONFIG_PCI_64BIT_PREF_MEM, did you try to enable it in you MB Options.lb In the kernel, there is pci_assign_unassigned_resources that try to allocate resource for some devices, and it could cause problem because Opteron could bave multi ht chain, Aka peer root bus, and every root bus need to have its own ioport_resource, and iomem_resource. But that only happen when BIOS is not allocating resource correctly. And LinuxBIOS does a good job, and every device have be handled properly. In case, you have werid pci devices, you still can use pci_quirks in kernel to do some fix up.

Should we bother? No, probably not. But I was referring to actually documenting the code. I know that the doxygen output is already available, but as there's very few comments (and none which have doxygen-syntax) the doxygen output is only of limited use. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/ticket/23#comment:2> LinuxBIOS <http://www.linuxbios.org/>
