AFAICT in both cases the immediate problem is the PLB error on first access to VRAM, indicating some kind of problem with ioremap_wc() or generally PCIe device memory access. > Anyway after nearly ten years, due a lack in resources, i'm sadly going > to suspend the CRUX PPC project and my activism pro free > software thus i'm unable to follow these debug.
