early ioremap not working with 2.4.19-pre1-aa1 ?

early ioremap not working with 2.4.19-pre1-aa1 ?

[Martin J. Bligh]

I have code for the NUMA-Q systems that does an ioremap
as the first thing in smp_boot_cpus (ia32 tree). This seems to 
work fine until I install the aa patches ... then it hangs in the 
ioremap.

Has anyone got any idea why this might be? I'd really like to
test out the -aa vm patches on this box ... I can debug it some
more - just looking for an easy answer ;-)

Thanks,

Martin.

this sounds like the same problem of the MXT patch. In short pte_alloc
and in turn ioremap was usable only after the initcalls.

Does this incremental patch fix it?  (untested)

You may want to use the new boot-time ioremap, which is based
on the fixmap mechanism. It's included in 2.5.6-pre1; a separate
patch for 2.4.18 is available at
<http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.4/>.

Sorry for the slow test cycle - this works just great ... will
this make it back to your main tree?

Thanks very much for the patch,

Martin.
