So it looks like it's not getting enabled on New World machines. After a brief look at the driver init code my impression (quite possibly a wildly inaccurate one BTW) is that the driver wants DMA channels and/or IRQs already partially configured. On New World machines booted via yaboot these may not be configured by OF. On Old World machines booted via BootX MacOS does the initialization. Tim Seufert ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
