    Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHKL_28326

    Symptoms:
            PHKL_28326:
            ( SR:8606279649 CR:JAGae43638 )
            System panic early in the boot process with
            "alloc_pdc_pages: real_page_alloc_addr() fails, status = -1"

            PHKL_27154:
            ( SR:8606197772 CR:JAGad66963 )
            Enhancement: This product update is a member of a set
            needed to enable the PA-8800 processor. The full list of
            product updates required for this feature are: PHKL_27154,
            PHKL_27155 and PHKL_27156.

    Defect Description:
            PHKL_28326:
            ( SR:8606279649 CR:JAGae43638 )
            If relocating PDC from ROM to main memory fails due to bad
            physical memory, the system panics. The panic message does
            not adequately describe the reason for the panic.

            Resolution:
            Made alloc_pdc_pages more flexible. If an allocation
            attempt fails, the requested memory range will be shifted
            to a lower range of address. This will continue until a
            successful allocation, or if 16 retry attempts are
            made the system will panic. The panic message is improved
            by providing additional information.

            PHKL_27154:
            ( SR:8606197772 CR:JAGad66963 )
            This product update contains minor enhancements required to
            enable the PA-8800 processor.

            Resolution:
            Added code to recognize PA-8800 processors.

    Enhancement:
            No
