Doesn't the fact that people have been successfully using PCI devices in PowerPC machines since 1995 or 1996 suggest to you that it might be your understanding that is faulty rather than the code? :)
And sparc64 :-)
An important point to mention is that big endian systems need to do byte twisting in the PCI controller for all the byte-lane issues to work out properly.
Maybe this guys box has a broken PCI host bridge implementation that doesn't do the byte-twisting and we should consider that in our analysis of his problems :-) - 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/
