How can I find out whether the area is bogus?

If I yaboot it will the problem go away?
(hadn't worried yet - this is the first prob. I've had with it)

and this machine seems to be in a grey-area where either method will work...

bk 2.4.1pre2 Lombard PCI allocation fails.

[Iain Sandoe]

Hi,

as the title says...
The machine boots and (seems) OK.

FWIW: I boot this machine with BootX [1.2.2] (and always have, without
problem, until this time).

relevant DMESG below.
ciao,
Iain.

BootX uses the MacOS PCI mappings which are bogus for the Rage LT Pro.
Though I'm certain Geert's old PCI resource allocation patch worked fine
in spite of this. There was some message about resource conflict but that
was fixed by the kernel.

What's the PCI resourced for the card after the kernel has finished
booting?

The conflict for the overlapping MMIO region.

Fixed by the kernel, and reassigned to 0x10000000.

I expect it to be 0x10000000.

BTW, this also means we can start using the secondary aperture as well in
2.4.0. Gives us an additional 4 kB of frame buffer on little-endian boxes.

Well, unfortunately, 0x10000000 is bogus on most cases. (I didn't check
with Grackle, but for example on UniNorth based machines, this address is
not routed to PCI).

Our PCI code still have no knowledge of which physical ranges can
actually be allocated for each bus. That should be implemented via proper
root bus resources, but I've not yet been able to find a good solution
for that (mostly because we would need more resources than the current
pci_bus structure provides in some cases where the bridge can decode
several discontiguous regions). Maybe We could fake this, my knowledge of
the linux resource mecanism is not perfect.

Matt Porter is coming with a better solution based on some platform
callbacks that would take care of such things are re-assigning a given
device. Those callbacks could then take care of doing proper allocation
depending on the host bridge setup. (See our discussion about the enable
device hook)

Ben.

OK, I misread that error message. Now you just need to supply a valid new
region :-) (How did the 2.3.99 code differ in that respect?)
