Re: Call for report - G5/PPC970 status



I have an iMac iSight with a 2.1 GHz PowerPC 970fx (G5) processor, that boots fine with the latest ppc64 kernel.

The PowerMac system we have internally was not able to recreate this.

To narrow down the issue - is that a PCI/PCI-X (7,3 [1]) or PCIe G5 (11,2 [1]) ?
Single, dual or quad ?

Same question to anyone else with a G5 / PPC970 - what is it and does
it boot recent PPC64 Linux kernel ?

Christian from the original report has a quad, like me (so powermac11,2).

There was also a report of a powermac7.3 working in the original discussion,
single or dual unspecified.

So this might be a Quad thing, or a more general 11,2 thing...

At this point, I am not sure what would cause the Machine check with
that patch series because we have not changed the VA bits in that patch.

Any test I could run that would help you tracking the bug ?

Cordially,

Romain
