Sweet smell of success: Jan 6 22:09:20 sodium kernel: fb1: S3 Virge/GX on 0000:00:03.0, 6 MB RAM, 14 MHz MCLK s3fb now loads OK and correctly identifies the graphic adapter, now that I fixed s3_identification and others. It now crashes elsewhere when the framebuffer device is opened, the logs shows that: ERROR(0): Cheetah error trap taken afsr[0010100000000000] afar[00000000000003c0] TL1(0) Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): TPC[10575140] TNPC[10575144] O7[105750e8] TSTATE[4411001604] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): TPC<save_vga+0x8c/0xf90 [vgastate]> Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): M_SYND(0), E_SYND(0), Privileged Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): Highest priority error (0000100000000000) "Unmapped error from system bus" Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): D-cache idx[0] tag[0000000000000000] utag[0000000000000000] stag[0000000000000000] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): D-cache data0[0000000000000000] data1[0000000000000000] data2[0000000000000000] data3[0000000000000000] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): I-cache idx[0] tag[0000000000000000] utag[0000000000000000] stag[0000000000000000] u[0000000000000000] l[0000000000000000] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): I-cache INSN0[0000000000000000] INSN1[0000000000000000] INSN2[0000000000000000] INSN3[0000000000000000] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): I-cache INSN4[0000000000000000] INSN5[0000000000000000] INSN6[0000000000000000] INSN7[0000000000000000] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): E-cache idx[3c0] tag[0000000313924924] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: ERROR(0): E-cache data0[6c6f6e672e682069] data1[6e636c7564652f6c] data2[696e75782f706f73] data3[69785f7479706573] Jan 6 22:10:05 sodium kernel: Kernel panic - not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap. Looks like there's a bug in save_vga which is in drivers/video/vgastate.c. I'll be sprinkling printk()s through save_vga() to find the offending line of code. Still, I'm pleased the module loads. -- Tactical Nuclear Kittens -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
