Vitaly, So, I have arrived to some conclusions.
1) With my previous kernel version (2.6.11) I had no problems because it had CONFIG_PCI_8260 and CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PCI unset. So I think no effective read/write operation was executed, and so that, no Machine Check. In fact, this is the configuration I would prefer for my board. I have to set CONFIG_PCI for enabling USB, but I don't want all the HW stuff of the PCI. I can get these also with 2.6.15 if I modify Kconfig, to allow me to unset PCI_8260 (and then PPC_INDIRECT_PCI) for my board. With that, the problem dissapears and I can boot 2.6.15. Shouldn't this (PCI_8260) be visible from xconfig for those like me who wants USB (=> CONFIG_PCI) but don't really have any PCI device? 2) Although I am using Uboot 1.1.4, it is not top of git. I have found your changes to support PCI on 8272ADS for u-boot are not still applied on the version i am using. So, could this be causing the problem? Is there any configuration done in u-boot required by the PCI on the linux kernel to boot (BR3,OR3, EMR, ...)? I should say that, on ADS, I have an older version of u-boot, 1.1.2, and it boots OK. 3) I have seen that from u-boot, a reset occurs when I read Internal Memory at offset 0x10904 (PCI CFG_DATA). From BDI, when I do the same all PCI section on IM becomes zero. Is this a known behaviour? May this reflect a hardware problem? In conclusion, 1) solves my "must", a working board (without PCI). But I still would like to know what am I doing so wrong with this. Best regards, Alex Citando Alex BASTOS <alebas at televes.com>: > Vitaly, > > It didn't work.
