Hi Dave
Running 'dev -p' command on PowerPC systems with virtual devices (ie
no real PCI devices) fails with the following message:
dev: invalid kernel virtual address: 98 type: "pci bus number"
It should instead report that there are no _real_ PCI devices to list.
The following patch addresses this issue. Currently it just prints a
message letting the user know of the absence of pci devices, but it
might be a good idea to list down the virtual devices present in the
system in such cases. I am working on a patch for that too, probably
will discuss that on another thread.
I guess, "dev -p" is supposed to list only pci devices, so will it
make more sense to have a new option something like "dev -v" for
displaying virtual devices information?
Thanks
