Hello Christoph,

Thanks for your reply.

It seems not. I don't see any infos about hard disks in the kernel ring 
buffer. The two serial ATA (SATA 2.0) controllers are integrated in the 
P5020 SoC and the hard disks are connected via SerDes lanes (PCIe) to 
the SoC. LANE 16 = SATA 0 and LANE 17 = SATA 1.

Yes, we are using Compact Flash cards. The slot is wired to the CPU 
local bus. It works with your kernel. :-)

Where is the attached patch?

I downloaded the version 5 of your Git kernel and compiled it today. 
Unfortunately the PASEMI ethernet doesn't work.

Error message: pci 0000:00:1a.0: dma_direct_map_page: overflow 
0x000000026bcb5002+110 of device mask ffffffff bus mask 0

@All
Could you please also test Christoph's kernel on your PASEMI and NXP boards? Download:

'git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git -b powerpc-dma.5 a'

Thanks,
Christian
