Oops at loading kernel module on AMCC Sequoia board.
 

I am porting some special device driver from kernel 2.4.18 on PC platform to DENX kernel 2.4.27 on PowerPC platform (4xxFP) which is an AMCC development board "Sequoia".

When the driver is loaded and device is being initialized I get "Oops" as follows:
[SIZE="3"]Machine check in kernel mode.
Data Read PLB Error

I can see that this happens when driver tries to read the contents of the memory referred to by the BAR in the device's PCI header. This physical address of 0x80000000 has been remapped appropriately by calling ioremap(). It feels like this physical address is not accessible.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.
