Next step just with the first patch: 5c532d07c2f3c3972104de505d06b8d85f403f06 (use powerpc zone selection)

git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git -b powerpc-dma.6-debug a

git checkout 5c532d07c2f3c3972104de505d06b8d85f403f06

Link to the Git: http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git/shortlog/refs/heads/powerpc-dma.6-debug

Results:

X5000: The kernel detects the SATA hard disk drive and boots without any problems.

X1000: The kernel boots and the P.A. Semi Ethernet works!

Hi Christoph,

I also compiled a kernel (zImage) for the X1000Â from your Git 'powerpc-dma.6-debug' (both patches) today.

It boots and the P.A. Semi Ethernet works!

I will test just the first patch tomorrow.

Thanks,
Christian

Hello Christoph,

Thanks for your reply. I successfully compiled a kernel (uImage) for the X5000 from your Git 'powerpc-dma.6-debug' (both patches) today.
