Subject: Problem with radeon new ROM probe code
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 14:06:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1064405197.15996.44.camel@gaston> (raw)
Hi Jon !
Your new code for looking at the card's ROM is causing a problem for
me. On some cards, typically the "Mac" cards, the ROM doesn't contain
an x86 BIOS, but rather an OF driver. The current code will blindly
tap that, though it contains none of the expected tables, and will
use completely wrong values.
Do you have ideas how to make some sanity checking on the ROM content ?
Ben.
