ES7000 Legacy Mappings Update for U2 Kernel none

Description Jason Davis 2005-04-15 18:11:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
During the boot sequence on the x86_64 ES7000 machine, legacy interrupts are not
configured correctly. As a result, legacy devices (ie: IDE drives, IDE CDROM,
keyboard, mouse, etc) are not usable because their legacy mappings are not
configured.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9-6.37.EL

How reproducible:
Consistently.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a kernel image using the latest ES7000 platform code. The latest ES7000
platform code is included as part of the consolidated patch update for ES7000,
which is located here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=137347

2. Boot the kernel image.

Actual results:  
The CDROM driver is stuck trying to probe for devices (intermittently printing a
message that the hda device is losing interrupts). Keyboard is also not responsive.


Expected results:

ES7000 Legacy Mappings Update

This update only affects Unisys' ES7000 machines.

The patch reflects a change needed to determine which generation of ES7000 is
currently running. The next generation of ES7000s will have conventional legacy
support so the patch accommodates for this. This patch has been tested and
verified on both an authentic 5xx ES7000 box and the next generation x86-64
ES7000 box. This patch has already been accepted into the upstream LK tree.
Comment 2 Bruce Vessey 2005-04-21 15:40:45 UTC 
This patch is included in 2.6.12-rc2.  It's documented in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.12-rc2 as
"[PATCH] ES7000 Legacy Mappings Update"
Comment 4 Tim Burke 2005-05-25 14:12:06 UTC 
Do we have the hardware required to test this patch?
Comment 6 Bruce Vessey 2005-05-25 18:50:02 UTC 
Unfortunately you do not yet have this hardware.  We are trying to get some for
you as quickly as possible.  We're keeping Andrius Benokraitis
(andriusb) up-to-date on the status.
Comment 8 Andrius Benokraitis 2005-06-13 19:13:38 UTC 
Hardware is now onsite in Westford.
