this is surely not the correct resource and looks like a datatype

[ 54.513227] aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7,
32/253 SCBs
The driver code suggests that the 7892 can't do the AHC_LARGE_SCBS
features ... which means the card itself cannot address more than 32
bits of memory, so it would be unable to decode a BAR that's beyond the
32 bit range. So this looks like some type of error in the PCI config
system (or possibly in the BIOS). I think this card needs its BARs to
be in the lower 32 bits to function.

i agree for this to be a 32bit dma busmaster chip,
since pci_resource_flags and lspci say 64bit mem resource type
aic7xxx: pci_resource_start fffff000 *maddr 20000 mem64 4
we've a bug in the x86_64 linux pci config, BIOS is ok, the hardware
worked fine in a winxp_x64 test setup a few months ago.
will ask LKML.

sorry, wrong according to http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/aic7892.pdf.
"66 MHz, 64-bit, PCI interface that
supports zero wait-state memory;
also operates on 33 MHz, 32-bit
PCI busses"
this chip is capable of 64bit addressing, as pci_resource_nnnn (checking this) on x86_64 platform
and lspci on x86_64 *and* AMDK7 configured kernels reports, even on PCI/32, right?
or is it impossible to do multiplexed 64bit mem addressing on PCI/32?
Why are the driver structure address members 32bits wide types if therere PCI/64 card
models with this chips as listet in aic7xxx.txt kernel doc and stated in aic7892.pdf?
I'll adapt the respective driver structures and function args now to 64bit and see what happens...
can adaptec.inc pls comment? since the aha19160 card is still in production state,
i assume they want to have a linux x86_64 dma capable driver. so far it is not,
or can other users having this card pls confirm my pci system broken?
