Jonathan,
I have been testing a few boards that use the VT8235 and there have been some improvements. ...
Thanks for the testing results.
I know of one (elusive) bug that's not VIA-specific ... if when that's finally found/clobbered then we still see such misbehavior on VIA, I suspect I know some blunt instruments that could be applied when the PCI vendor ID says "VIA".
The 2.5. storage driver appears to have many advantages over the 2.4. Kernel's storage driver, but 2.5. series kernels are not viable for most solutions at this stage (there are unrelated problems with other modules etc). Are the 2.5 kernels simply too different from 2.4 for a backport to be possible?
Matt may have more to say, but I for one wouldn't care to try to put the usb_sg_*() calls on 2.4 ... they're more demanding of host controller driver fault handling, and such changes would likely destabilize 2.4 more than most folk would want. And by now I think the SCSI (and block) layer code has diverged enough to make backports troublesome.
There must be other issues not related to the EHCI driver, but relating to the VT8235 in general on 2.4. ...
Interesting. I know that VIA has a bit of history with PCI problems, maybe it's (still) a factor here. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
