Two issues preventing ruffians from booting 2.4 (with bridges patch)
were found and fixed.
- rather trivial one: someone decided that interrupt 4
(irq 20 from builtin scsi) is 'bogus' ;-)
- another issue is way not trivial and cost Michal and me a
lot of sweat. Type 1 PCI configuration space accesses (and to
some degree type 0 accesses to the bridge itself) were subtly
broken. In other words, these accesses were failing randomly
causing all sorts of havoc. At some point I managed to break
them completely just by adding one extra mb()...
Copying the code from 2.2 solved the problem - but it's a kind
of magic.
Interesting, other pyxis machines do not seem to be so sensitive,
so I guess some design problems with ux164 motherboard - all this
looks pretty much like timing issues.
Many thanks to Michal for that painful and time consuming testing
he has done.
Ivan.
