Greetings all, I have two boards that are very similar. They base on IBM750cx/cxe processor and XPC107A bridge/memory controller. Both are initialized in the same manner (the same bootloader).
One of them has IBM750cx 400MHz (PVR: 0x0008 2214) on that one everything works fine. The other one has IBM750cxe 600MHz (PVR: 0x0008 3311) and here I have some strange behavior. PCI doesn't work fine if it uses memory mapped IO. If driver uses PIO instead of MMIO it works fine - I observed such situation with ethernet driver for i82553 (eepro100.c). I thought, there should be no difference on PPC between memory and io-ports. The other strange thing is problem with loading modules. On 600MHz version trying loading module cause system hangup or kernel stack overflow oops - like following: ......

The module has just module_init function that only returns value and empty module_cleanup function. Additionally, I've disabled in HID_0 some features (SGE = 0, SPD = 1, BTIC = 0, BHT = 0) during processor setup but it didn't help. Running system has HID_0 as 0x8090c200 Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Marcin
