However, I removed 2 GB from the box as Alan sugggested and now the box
comes up just fine with a 64-bit 2.6.11.6 kernel! I've put the 4GB back,
and booted with the kernel "mem=2048" command line option - that also
works, the i2o_block driver sees the adaptec controller just fine.
And I just booted it with "mem=3840M" and that works too.
So the problem appears to be 4 GB memory in 64 bit mode, on this box.
OK, i never tried it with 4 GB so it really could be a problem...
Or the driver is incorrectly handling 64/32bit DMA limit masks which
would be my first guess here, and would explain why it works on AMD
Athlon64 boxes.
Hmmm, i only set DMA_32BIT_MASK and don't do anything special on 64-bit
systems... Is there anything else to do for correct DMA mapping?
