some output from printks I added:
init_ich2rom Found: 0x8086 0x2480 ich2rom: set 0x4e to 0x1 ich2rom: val 0x4e IS NOW 0x1 ioremap 0xff000000 size 0x1000000 result 0xf886d000
it finds the part it sets the 0x4e register to 1 for enabling write hey! same register as the piix4e -- think this is a coincidence? it does the ioremap of the last (BIG) 16 MB of memory (WOW!) Then it does a JEDEC probe.
Do JEDEC probes really work with this 82802AB part?
They must have but ... Eric?
