Hiya, I have finally discovered why the XBOX nForce card does not attach correctly. Based on this, the patch at http://rink.nu/downloads/xbox-patches/xbox-nve.diff will fix the situation. The problem is, that the card is not fully reset. In fact, it looks as if the Linux Cromwell BIOS leaves it running, where it does not seem to accept initialization. Since probably more XBOX loaders fail to reset the chip correctly, I have chosen to create a small patch which pulls the chip out of the running state. This makes the nve(4) driver attach correctly. Could someone please commit this patch? It will be executed on XBOXes only, so it will not break anything. PS. I get 10MB/sec on my XBOX while transferring files, but the nve(4) driver will cause 7500 interrupts/sec and burn up 30% interrupt time (as well as 50% system time or so). Is this 'normal' behaviour of nve(4) ? -- Rink P.W. Springer - http://rink.nu "Richter: Tribute? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!
