Subject: rtas instantiation when commandline contains mem
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:12:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090716131246.GB22901@codiert.org> (raw)
Hi,
the rtas instantiation (prom_init.c) doesn't work correctly if the
kernel parameter "mem=" is used. The current code doesn't evaluate
the kernel parameter which causes the issue that alloc_down
allocates somewhere in the "real" memory space. So it can
happen that the allocation space is above "mem=".
Commit 2babf5c2ec2f2d5de3e38d20f7df7fd815fd10c9 removes the
evaluation of "mem=".
cheers
ben
