Kernel oops when initializing ethernet driver

[Patrick Huesmann]

Hi,

I'm getting a kernel oops that's triggered by the device driver
initialization code (Xilinx VirtexII-Pro on-chip ethernet).

It crashes when executing the code
XIIF_V123B_RESET(InstancePtr->BaseAddress);
(line 554, function XEmac_Reset() in drivers/net/xilinx_enet/xemac.c)

The oops message looks like this:
> Instruction machine check in kernel mode.
> Oops: machine check, sig: 7

I don't know jack about kernel oopses, but I learned that this is probably a
access violation (Address not mapped in MMU, or whatever).

The address that the driver wants to access is 0xc3000040, which is the
virtual address of some ethernet softcore register. The physical registers
of the NIC begin at 0x80000000, and IIRC they are mapped to 0xc3000000 by
cfg->BaseAddress = (u32) ioremap(lp->save_BaseAddress, remap_size);
in the module's probe() function in xilinx_enet/adapter.c
where remap_size is well above 0x40 (it's 0x4000, AFAIK)

Does anybody know what could be the problem? Do I have to do some I/O
mapping by hand, before the driver's init routine is invoked? Do I have to
configure the FPGA bitstream in some magic way, before the Linux drivers can
be used?

I'm using the linuxppc_2_4_devel tree from Montavista and a gcc-3.3.2
toolchain.
I'm linking the ethernet driver straight into the kernel (not as loadable
module).

Thanks in advance,
Patrick
