Hi,

My concern is I cannot reproduce your problem for the following reasons:
- the PREP machine (and the heathrow too...) is broken and cannot even
boot. PCI and/or IRQ are broken, so the Linux kernel hangs.
- when using the "known to work" Linux distributions on the mac99
machine (please take a look at the STATUS file), I am able to download a
kernel from www.kernel.org, which makes me think TCP packets are sent
and received correctly, with valid checksums.

Then, it would be a great thing if you could isolate the failing routine
and, for example, make a test case usable with linux-user emulation.
This would be a great help to solve this issue.

Thanks by advance.


Attached is a test program which demonstrates the issue.  You can run
% ./ppc-linux-user/qemu-ppc /tmp/csum_test/main
Testing
Result 0x956a3263

Above is the correct result prior to 3/8/2007. If you run from CVS today, you get
% ./ppc-linux-user/qemu-ppc /tmp/csum_test/main
Testing
Result 0x956a3264


It appears to be a result of the corruption of the xer_ca by the time you do the first adde instruction.
Thanks,
Jason.
