I've had problems with the mpt2sas driver (drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_base.c) when using it on my ppc44x. Basically, there is a check in the code for BITS_PER_LONG and certain code is executed if it is 64 vs 32 bit. I am guessing it is a problem with the driver but it only shows up on powerpc. If i force it to take the 64 bit path it works fine, but if I let the preprocessor decide it will take the 32 bit path and fail later. I am not configuring my kernel as 64 bit, but I am guessing this has to do with the 36 bit plb bus on these parts.
can somebody enlighten me as to what the right thing to do here is? thanks ayman _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
