Re: pSeries boot failure due to wrong interrupt controller

Ping? Anyone?

I'm adding ppc-dev to see if anyone there is interested in picking up the patch..

Thanks,
	Jeremy


Ok so I messed up the formatting a little and was lazy and didn't checkpatch it
cause I mean, it was 1 line! If someone wants it resent I will do so.

Ah I missed that completely. From your discussion, it looks correct,
I'll see if I can find a machine to test, however I think we dropped
support for POWER3 so it might be non-trivial to do so.

And yes, when there is no map, the parent should be the interrupt-parent
with a fallback to the parent node if that doesn't exist.

Cheers,
Ben.

	Thanks, the problem originally cropped up on a power4+, I was going to test
it on power5 too, but I don't have access anymore. I do have a power3 as well,
but I think that machine has other issues (the BUG_ON in the platform table
for starters).

Ok, I don't think I still have one of these, but if you re-send the
patch with S-O-B etc... I'll review & ack it.

Cheers,
Ben.
