Subject: Porting to NuBus PowerMacs
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 16:26:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990112162631.B29622@dirkpitt.solsoft.fr> (raw)
I'd like to know what would be the complexity of porting LinuxPPC
to NuBus PowerMacs ?
Here are my thoughts:
-we have BootX. So we can BootX LinuxPPC. We just need to build a
fake OpenFirmware device tree for BootX so he can pass it the
kernel
-we have the source of the Mach MicroKernel, hence we have enough
to rewrite the specification to rewrite drivers for LinuxPPC.
Some components and drivers may directly come from Linux Mac68k.
Note that I don't have a NuBus PowerMac. Only a 6200 (and my
PowerCenter Pro, already supported).
Any comments ?
