Hi,
I am running SuSE 7.1/PPC on my PowerBase 200 machine using the
default 2.2.18 kernel, but encountered the following resource conflict
when I wanted to activated my network card (Farallon PCI-10, DEC 21041
chipset) yesterday:
As soon as the network card is activated, X still starts up, but
immediately afterwards crashes the machine completely. This does not
happen on the framebuffer console however. I suspect it is due to the
resource conflict reported by XFree86 (see log/lspci output below):
(WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0x400 e: 0x4ff correcting
Is there a way to avoid this conflict? As far as I understood it,
there actually is only one IO space on PowerPCs. Various MacOS
versions managed to handle this conflict in exactly this configuration
for more than 3 years now :-)
What I tried so far, but did not help:
- changing from the de4x5 driver to the tulip driver (SuSE 2.2.18 sources).
- using the SuSE kernel 2.4.2: X refuses to start up immediately
following the IO allocation warning.
- upgrading to the latest SuSE kernel 2.4.12 or 2.4.16-3: It did not even boot,
but froze after the line "Uniform CD-ROM driver ...". The LED light of my
SCSI CD writer (Teac CD-R55S) just stayed on forever.
Right now, I thus can either choose to use X or my ethernet
card... Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Markus
