Any IO to SBP-2 devices fails with timeouts. Just removing the posted write enable bit in fw-ohci wasn't sufficient to catch it though. Maybe the controller has write posting enabled by default. However, this endianess bug was low-profile because there are currently no kernelspace or userspace drivers for the firewire stack which need to respond in split transactions. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- --== ----= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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
