Subject: Re: IBM Intellistation 275
Have you tinkered at all with real-base values on the 275 ?
Historically when one switches between AIX (or AIX based system
diagnostics CD) and Linux, the real-base values get updated and the
updated values have potential to confuse the snot out of firmware.
I've no idea if the later bootloaders correctly handle the scenario, or
if it's actually a problem that exists with the firmware on the 275, but
may be worth poking at.
See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527506#c5 and later for
some comments on that subject.
Thanks,

Checked real-base, which is IBM's recommended c00000.
