There are a number of things you have to be careful about when you disable caches. Depending on your implementation, you likely can't use lwarx/stwcx, cache ops will not work, etc. Also, are you 100% sure that this is caused only by disabling L1D, and not by any other problems with your silicon? If you're doing early bringup of you'll have a whole lot of debug work in front of you, and this mailing list is probably not the best place to bring your homework. -Olof _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
