Typo in prom_find_machine_type from Ben's recent patch "ppc64: Fix
result code handling in prom_init" prevents pSeries LPAR systems from
booting.
Hello,
Same typo has creped in again from 2.6.17 kernel onwards and causing
open firmware exception in pSeries systems.
Looking at the current code, I don't see how this analysis could be
correct.
You are right. Sorry for the confusion. I had overlooked the changes
in the code (prom_init.c) Will check if
the problem still persists on the latest version. Thanks!
The patch that is provided solves the problem.
Which patch? Did you forget to include it?
It would be best if you sent your problem report and any patches to
linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx linuxppc64-dev is dead.
Thanks.
