Hi, I've recently acquired a J6700 (8 GB, 2 CPUs) and I'm happly running Linux on it, so thanks to all who are still caring about HPPA :-) I've noticed a kernel warning on bootup, though: ...

Kernel 5.7-rc2 (but happens too with 5.4.28), serial console, gcc 9.2.0, SMP, 64 bit kernel. System.map and .config available on request. The installed graphic card is (according to lspci): 01:01.0 Display controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Visualize FX (rev 02) As I'm using the serial console, I have not noticed any ill effects, despite the warning. My theory is that the card gets mapped into a 64bit-only accessible range and that the STI driver can not manage that type of addressing? Can it handle that card anyway? TIA, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
