Hello,
We have been having an issue with IDE and SCSI drives not being usable on the x86 architecture.
After bisecting, it looks like commit f2ebaaa9f38dddddefaf2e616a9fc489fe8b4021 (pci: Handle failed calloc in decode_regions()) is the culprit.
Indeed, it was working when decode_regions() was not returning an error. But now that it does, no blk devices get registered anymore.
The decode_regions() function fails because it calls "ofnode_get_property", which fails on systems that do not use a device tree
Would it make sense to remove calls to anything related to device trees for the x86 platform ?
Regards,
Detlev.
