I am finally getting time to do K8s again.
I just did a cvs update, built linuxbios for the arima/hdama, and tested it out. It failed.
Looks like the ethernet is now back on bus 2, and linux does not see the ethernets at all.
Anyone else tried this lately? The K8 platforms seem, overall, to be not quite working at present.

Any problems besides the bus problem on hdama? It seems that LinuxBIOS goes some way of emerge and pucker on K8 lately.

Maybe an additional entry in irq_tables.c helps? /* Let Linux know about bus 1 */ {0x01, (0x04<<3)|3, {{0x00, 0xdef8}, {0x00, 0xdef8}, {0x00, 0xde f8}, {0x00, 0xdef8}}, 0x00, 0},
seems to do it's job for bus1. bus2 has entries for device 3 and 4. Are these correct for the current tree? All these infrastructural changes seem to cry for automatic irq-table generation..
Another thing, when talking about tables: Is there anything serious speaking against including a minimal set of ACPI tables to get things like HPET timers working? Or is there another viable way for enabling these?

that is already in there. It did not help. Linux is not scanning all the busses again.
Time for debug printks I guess.
