Could you show me "lspci -vv" on sparc64? If an expansion ROM exists on ATI Radeon or ATY128 card, pci_map_rom returns the expansion ROM base address instead of 0xC0000 because fixup_video checks the VGA Enable bit in the Bridge Control register. The Bridge Control register describes in "PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification Revision 1.2". This specification is the standard specification in PCI. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
