My include/asm/mmu.h has it defined as: #ifndef CONFIG_440 #include <asm-generic/mmu.h> #else typedef unsigned long long phys_addr_t; #define fixup_bigphys_addr(addr, size) (addr) #endif I see that in later 2.4 kernels and in mainline 2.6 it is implemented as an actual working routine. Perhaps that explains it all. The ioremap() in my tree implements the fixup code inline, which would explain why it works, right? > > -Matt > Thanks again. Ed
