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 :-)
Can you try the 2.4.2 kernel? It should work with that kernel, known bug in the 2.2 ati kernel driver. Boot the file vmlinux-2.4 and install k_deflt.rpm from CD1/suse/images. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
