I think Andi sent out an email where this was reverted. If it wasn't, all you need to do is run with iommu=fullflush and you shouldn't have any other trouble. What other issues are there? -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Mark Watts [mailto:m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 7:56 AM To: Terje Kvernes Cc: Andre Tomt; Linux Kernel Subject: Re: Serial ATA (SATA) status report -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > the 3w-xxxx-module works well enough in 32bit mode on AMD64. sadly > enough, we have had some other issues with 64bit mode, but the > _driver_ seems to load there as well. Do these 'issues' prevent the cards from being used at all in 64bit mode on AMD-64? We'd really like to use the 4-port SATA 3Ware card on a Tyan Thunder K8W (S2885) but it'd be a bit of a waste if we can only use it in 32bit mode. (I assume 32bit mode means you compile for i686 instead of AMD-64 ?)
