ressurection of VISWS support in 2.5-ac
PATCH 1/1 ressurection of VISWS support in 2.5-ac
Hi all,
after about month of heavy nightly work :)) ,
I'm proud to present updated VISWS support for 2.5.xx kernels.
Attached patch is against 2.5.49-ac1, but can be applied to 2.5.47-ac with small tweaking in Kconfig. 2.5.47-ac is even preferrable for people who don't want to bother with modules mess^H^H^H^Hproblems in newer kernels.
This kernel loads and works fine in my VISWS 320 with serial console or via ssh connection.
Problems that still remains:
- why elf kernel image entry point address points to rest_init() ? Loader cludge required to fix this issue, loader tarball attached.
- console doesn't show anything, while /dev/fb0 works fine;
- 'modprobe parport_pc' causes hang, need to imvestigate irq probing;
- SMP support completely untested;
Alan, can you apply this patch to 2.5.49-ac or it should be splitted to smaller per-area patches ?
Best regards.

Note .ru part of my email address, because of it i have no warm personal reminiscences about Amiga 500 and don't want to waste time googling it :))
