Ok, now I spent some time to look into that. I thought suse does not need the original patch (PNP: work around Dell 1536/1546 BIOS MMCONFIG bug that breaks USB) as we do not support CONFIG_AMD_NB. But in 2.6.32.55, it is named CONFIG_K8_NB. So actually we need it. There are two problems with the backport: * missing amd_get_mmconfig_range (added by 24d25dbfa6) * used wrong names: CONFIG_AMD_NB and asm/amd_nb.h The latter can be fixed in two ways: * easier: change CONFIG_AMD_NB to CONFIG_K8_NB and asm/amd_nb.h to asm/k8.h (obviously, there will be no "upstream commit" for that) * maybe harder: backport 23ac4ae827 including dependencies (I haven't looked if there are any) thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
