Although the AMD RS690 chipset has 64-bit DMA support, BIOS implementations sometimes fail to configure the memory limit registers correctly. The Acer F690GVM mainboard uses this chipset and a Marvell 88E8056 NIC. The sky2 driver programs the NIC to use 64-bit DMA, which will not work: sky2 0000:02:00.0: error interrupt status=0x8 sky2 0000:02:00.0 eth0: tx timeout sky2 0000:02:00.0 eth0: transmit ring 0 .. 22 report=0 done=0 Other drivers required by this mainboard either don't support 64-bit DMA, or have it disabled using driver specific quirks. For example, the ahci driver has quirks to enable or disable 64-bit DMA depending on the BIOS version (see ahci_sb600_enable_64bit() in ahci.c). This ahci quirk matches against the SB600 SATA controller, but the real issue is almost certainly with the RS690 PCI host that it was commonly attached to. To avoid this issue in all drivers with 64-bit DMA support, fix the configuration of the PCI host. If the kernel is aware of physical memory above 4GB, but the BIOS never configured the PCI host with this information, update the registers with our values.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
