Subject: [PATCH] sn2 requires a 3.40 or better PROM
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 19:44:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200407201544.18841.jbarnes@engr.sgi.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 347 bytes --]

The SGI 3.40 PROM includes a fix for the move of the init_task to region 5, so 
specify that in sn_sal.h.  Unfortunately, the check for the minimum required 
version happens *after* the hang/MCA that is symptomatic of the bug, so this 
message also acts as an announcement of the requirement.
