You should always invalidate the cache before enabling it. Now if at the 1st boot-up if the ROM code / boot-loader is doing this, you don't have do it. At least from kernel point of it's responsibility of boot-loaders/boot-straps to keep the caches invalidated. That's why the generic kernel don't invalidate them before enabling them. RMK has documeneted this. Read " 2. Loader Checks" http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/noboot-checklist/ Regards, Santosh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
