Only that there is the shared memory problem that prevents burning CDs in

I agree.

Problems:
- Internal serial hangs when IDE is active (probably unsolvable, it is worse
in 2.2)
- Internal parallel does not work (garbage arrives at printer)
- MFCIII driver does not compile
- kernel crashes (reboot) when using ppp for more than 10 Minutes and heavy
transfer over serial.
- no acceleration for virge
- problems with BVision
- Onboard SCSI of CyberStormPPC does not work.

Backports are OK, perhaps even mandatory though.

Right! Furthermore Alan refuses stuff for 2.2 if it's not in 2.4 already,=
for
the exact same reason.

It seems there are a number of serial cards for the Amiga, that use the same serial port chip or clones thereof. I have a Hypercom 4+ board that uses the same chip (basically) as the GVP I/O extender. Is there a way to use these chip routines, so I don't have to wedge them into a new driver? I'd explain this better but I'm short on time at the moment. Fred |

Hello, I have a 2.3/4 version of virgefb that was keeping sync with the 2.2 version but it's slipped behind a bit, I'll blame my cvs stuff up on the 2.3/4 tree. When I get 2.3/4 up again the virgefb will be updated and commited. Ken. =20 |

Hmm, I have an Amiga4000 and I use the serial port mostly for debugging, beside of this I mostly connect to it over ethernet, so the most important driver for me is the ariadne2 driver and that works fine. :) Anyway, keeping the 2.4 apus tree uptodate is only one of my interests, I'm doing for _fun_, so please don't expect that I'm overly stress myself. On the other hand I'm quite willing to answer any questions about kernel programming, so anyone with some basic C knowledge can help to fix the existing problems. We're only a small community, so you have to do a bit yourself and you can't expect everything is done for you. BTW you can also ask on the linux-m68k list, to find out whether some problems are general or ppc related. bye, Roman |

It seems that the more recent the APUS kernel version, the less of my
hardware works. The kernel with most HW working was some 2.2 version. With
the current 2.4.x, the parallel port is completely broken, so the printer
is useless. The serial port hangs when there is access to the IDE harddisk.
The Multiface board driver is not compilable anymore. So, this is a hard
time for people who want to do I/O other than display on an A4k with APUS.
I remember the parallel port driver being broken in the 2.2 times. Somebody
fixed it in just a few lines. Now exactly the same broken behaviour shows
in the current 2.4 tree. Who fixed the 2.2 driver? How? I had a shot with
inserting io barriers and even delays, but no go.
It seems that the Amiga 4000 has to be removed of the list of supported HW in
linux/APUS. Or does any of the A1200 have these problems? Or does nobody want
to print or use the serial port? Internet, anyone?

Yes but no wiser. I see
irqres = request_irq(IRQ_AMIGA_VERTB, fbcon_vbl_handler, 0,
"console/cursor", fbcon_vbl_handler);
but not what's generating the vertical rate interrupts.
