Description Bryan O'Donoghue 2005-01-13 02:42:07 UTC

Distribution: 
N/a build system Slackware 10.

Hardware Environment: 
A & M Adder mpc875 

Software Environment: 
Runtime uClibc/Busybox. Kernel 2.6.11-rc1 . powerpc-linux-gcc -v 3.4.2

Problem Description:
First problem. arch/ppc/8xx_io/fec.c uses consistent_alloc twice, this doesn't
seem to be correct, shouldn't dma_alloc_coherent be used ? The consistent_alloc
error prevents compile

Steps to reproduce:

Try to build a kernel for mpc8xx with fec enabled.

Comment 1 Dominik Brodowski 2005-11-17 13:57:18 UTC

is this bug still present in recent kernels, like 2.6.14?

Comment 2 Adrian Bunk 2006-04-16 17:45:08 UTC

This issue is already fixed in kernel 2.6.16.
