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: Additional info:
Created attachment 113240 [details] 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.
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"
Do we have the hardware required to test this patch?
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.
Hardware is now onsite in Westford.
