Hi,

Since I managed to compile in not cache coherent DMA support in the AmigaOne
Linux kernel, the system crashes whenever I try to view a movie for example
in totem or VLC. The following log snipped is the only debug information I
could extract, because most of the time the system hard locks  and can only
be reactivated with a hardware reset.

I tested this with kernel 2.6.8 and 2.6.14.2. Both show the same behavior.
Is this a known problem on PPC systems with desktop CPUs? What about others 
PPC boards that have 6xx/7xxx cpus and not cache coherent northbridges?

Thanks in advance!

regards,

Gerhard
