Subject: [PATCH] Connecting the SB600's i8259 controller rather in pasemi's pci.c than in pasemi's setup.c.
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:18:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e8ae26f2-568a-0848-a8bf-774bcdffc9cc@xenosoft.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <91cfa587-c555-45ad-2a34-83e5191ade7d@xenosoft.de>
Is this patch OK? My P.A. Semi Nemo board boots with the patched kernel.
