Re: IDE driver support in PPC440

[Xupei Liang <tliang@yahoo.com>]

Hi, Eugene,

The IRQ7 is setup as level trigger and active low.

I think what happened is that when the ISR is
serving the first interrupt, which is external
interrupt 7 (number 50), it is interrupted again.
This time, ppc405_pic_get_irq() returns irq 64 because
the routine knows that all interrupts have been
disabled (I have looked at UIC_ER0 and UIC_ER1
and verified that is the case). So the question is,
if all interrupts are disabled, why the code is stuck
inside the ISR?

I am using the lastest 2.4.19 code.

Thank you for your help again.

Regards,

Terry L.
