[parisc-linux] arch/parisc/kernel/realmode_setup.c Question

[Ryan Bradetich <rbradetich@uswest.net>]

Paul,

I have started working on getting the kernel to boot on the PA2.0
architecture again, and I see the you and others have been doing
lots of work with the initialization code.  (Nice job to everyone btw,
the code is a lot easier to figure out for a newbie like me! :)

I was looking at the following section of code and I have a
discrepancy that I wanted to make you aware of.  I don't know how
to fix it yet, but I will continue to look.

I am working on a C200+ which has the PA2.0 processor, so in the
the following section of code it should give me an error during the
BTLB initialization, but during the PDC_BTLB_INSERT pret is set
to 0, so the check for non-PA1.1 architecture's fail.

I will continue to look through the documentation that has been
previously pointed out, and the devresource page  pointed out by
Frank Rowand to see if I can find a solution to the problem.

Thanks,

Ryan Bradetich
