The calls are not Intel specific, although the "iopl()" initialization function has the semantics of the x86 instruction with the same name. There is a PPC library that will support the diagnostics. Your PPC distribution may have removed the support, but it does exist. The iopl() function should act as an required initializer before subsequent calls to the inb() etc. functions. It does not matter to the diagnostics if these functions call an asm instruction (the x86 case), or maps in a memory space that translates to PCI I/O space accesses (the PPC library code). -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993
