Well, the MCA code has been in the kernel since 2.2. We've had IBM MCA machines running since 1996, kernel 1.3 or so. So the problem is not the IBM MCA architecture, although the RS/6000 is a little different. The problem lies more in the older PowerPC chips. Maybe the Linux/MCA and Linux/PowerPC people should get together. Darren Wright, dwright@dgmicro.com http://www.dgmicro.com Home of Linux/MCA
