I was trying to use this patch on my stock RH6.1 system running kernel
2.2.15 with ide patch. It's a SX164 based on PCA56. I use SRM console.
I had some problems with it:
1. It didn't apply cleanly (due to differences between 2.2.14 and 2.2.15 I
guess). I had to apply it by hand
2. It didn't compile for me. Compilation got stuck while compiling
sx164_init_arch() with an error message something like 'as: invalid
command in line xxx'. When I omitted that part (I don't care about
motion extensions), it compiled OK.
3. Running the patched kernel was OK, the cycle frequency was OK
(533333333 Hz as oposed to 531914893 Hz). That cured the problems I had
with clock on this system (I'm running xntpd and I had to change the
tick value from original 977 to 974 for xntpd to stabilize the time).
However, when I do 'shutdown -h', weird thing happens: SRM complains
about HWRPB being invalid.
On more notice about time and xntp on this system: on this very system
I used to run RH5.1, booting via AlphaBIOS and MILO. I did not have any
problems with xntpd at that time (the cycle frequency was wrong as
well, however a bit more acurate - about 533 MHz if I remember
correctly).
Here are the messages, taken from the screen, after I execute
'shutdown -h'.
Without the PYXIS patch:
...
The system is halted
--> at this point, the execution passes to SRM console
halted CPU 0
halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC = fffffc0000310040
*** no timer interrupts on CPU 0 ***

Any clue?
