Hi, I may be inheriting a V215 - and was checking for supported platforms in Sparc64. Noticed that between 2.6.21 and 2.6.22-rc1 there appeared a new platform pci_fire.c - I'm hoping this means that the xx5 generation (215, w/stations 25/45) are supported, correct? (The commit log calls it [SPARC64]: SUN4U PCI-E controller support. but doesn't mention any hardware models.) OpenBSD boasts of support - and calls it pyro. Well pyro == fire, no? (See comment about Linux not supporting pyro below --> overtaken by events??) BTW don't take this as an openbsd vs linux troll - I meant that the name correspondence OpenBSD->pyro/Linux->fire is not a coincidence right? --an extract from OpenBSD Sparc list-- "I just committed the final bits that make the Sun Fire V215 and V245 fully supported in 4.1-current. These machines have a PCIe host bridge, supported by the new pyro(4) driver. Writing this driver was the biggest challange, since Sun doesn't provide any documentation for it. So it took some extensive digging through the OpenSolaris code to figure out how the hardware was supposed to work. OpenBSD seems to be the first OS besides Solaris to support these machines (at least I could not find any evidence in the Linux source code that they do support the PCIe host bridge), and the first complete open source OS that runs on them (OpenSolaris still requires some closed source drivers to run)............." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
