[parisc-linux] K360 with 64 bit kernel?

[parisc-linux] K360 with 64 bit kernel?

[Gustavo Zacarias]

Hi.
Has anyone managed to boot a K360 with a 64 bit kernel?
The machine works just fine with a 32 bit one.
The problem is the machine getting stuck just after the ncr53c8xxx 
driver with a bunch of scsi timeouts.
You can check the logs at http://www.zacarias.com.ar/hppa/ (a good boot 
on 32, and the dead one on 64).
Thanks in advance.

hmm could you launch a toc at this stage, after the reboot grab the 
piminfo and analyse it with dump_analayser.sh
(available http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/build-tools/ with a.c too)

Thanks,

Gentoo is running fine in 64 bit on a few test boxes we have.
Irc.us.freenode.net #gentoo-hppa Gmsoft is the best source of help

I'm running gentoo and talking with Gmsoft on irc also :)
Basically he has no clue on this, they didn't test much on K models.
And i forgot to mention that the debian netinst testing ISOs (PDC 
console of course) from parisc-linux.org also fail this way.
Mostly sounds like the zalon driver isn't 64 bit clean since the kernel 
just gets stuck without any kind of oops or anything.
