See page 6-11 > in PA-RISC 2.0 Architecture book. It does work on all pa20 processors, afaik. Let me rephrase: "Be aware that, if atlas relies on being able to prefetch invalid addresses and have that not fault, then it will only work on some PA processors but not all of them. All pa20 processors should work. pa11 processors will not." We ran into this while trying to get PA7300LC to do prefetching in the kernel. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/ _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
