Buddha Interface and Linux(PPC)

[Giorgio T. <de...@ip...>]

Hi !,
Last year at Pianeta Amiga i have buyed from Vesalia a 32k Buddha Flash.

All is gone right from the Amiga side, but in the Linux(PPC) side i have
found a bug:
When i try to reboot the machine Buddha locks the process.

You said something about this problem in your docs, so with these hints
i began to test the 2.2 kernel Linux's driver software and have found 
the bug :
In first i have disabled the writing of offset $fc0 but it do not was
the (only) problem.

The BUDDHA_CONTROL(ALTSTATUS) was the guilty! 

I tried to disable the use of this register offset and all works well
now !!!
Now the problem is that 2.2 kernel's ideprobe identify function must
use STATUS reg instead of ALTSTATUS, complaining for it.
So, I think that my solution is not the best way out.

Please can you give me some suggestion about this and, if possible,
the offset of CONTROL(ALTSTATUS) register because i do not know if $11a
is right.

I am attaching the source code of linux's interface with my comments
(search for -gterzi- )

Thanking you in advance

Regards
