I vote for the FW being on crack. Wouldn't be the first time with Pegasos. It's an OHCI or an UHCI in there ? Can you try in prom_init.c changing the prom_close_stdin() function to also close "stdout" ? if (prom_getprop(_prom->chosen, "stdin", &val, sizeof(val)) > 0) call_prom("close", 1, 0, val); + if (prom_getprop(_prom->chosen, "stdout", &val, sizeof(val)) > 0) + call_prom("close", 1, 0, val); See if that makes a difference ? Last option would be to manually turn the thing off with MMIO in yet-another pegasos workaround in prom_init.c.
