Ahh, what an error I made! I made at least 3 errors in that post, and
OK, this was my first error. My first experiment -- leave
request_resource() alone, and move the additions of the kernel memory
regions to setup_arch() -- produced a booting kernel. When that
happened, I was already late for work... so I produced the output
of 'cat /proc/iomem' from that kernel and moved on to my second test
I simply forgot to include the output in my message because I was
rushing to get out of the house! Here it is:
