The problem is that _nearby_ resources may require different attributes, yet be mapped by a single TR entry. E.g. on an Intel Tiger there is a "System RAM" resource from 0x100000-0x3ffffff, but if you place the kernel image into it, then ITR[0] and DTR[0] will map the entire 64M from 0x0 to 0x3ffffff, which includes the VGA. -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Jul 06 05:17:19 2006
