I will configure “0 : 32 bit addressing for all chips” for the RC8.
Maybe this is the solution.
0 means you are going to do bounce buffering a lot, which seems
generally like a bad idea.
But why are we talking about the sym53c8xx driver now? The last issue
you reported was about video4linux allocations.
Both drivers have the same problem. They don't work if we have more
than 3.5GB RAM. I try to find a solution until you have a good
solution. I have already a solution for V4L but I still need one for
the sym53c8xx driver.
OK, you mean that "0" is a bad idea but maybe it works until you have a
solution. ;-)
