Might as well just use 16-31 and stick with the MPIC convention. If somebody else is using the 5100 with the IPMC761 then they will have ISA and will thank you many times for not changing things. > Also I run in a problem: the indirect mechanism for generating PCI config > cycles is set > up correctly, but the board seems to hang when reading from the CONFIG_DATA > address !!!??? Make sure you have those Hawk registers covered with a BAT or PTEs. Notice the areas covered by BATs in the MACH_prep BAT setup case in arch/ppc/mm/init.c. -- Matt Porter MontaVista Software, Inc. mporter at mvista.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
