From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 16:26:31 +0100 From: Hubert Figuiere To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Porting to NuBus PowerMacs Message-ID: <19990112162631.B29622@dirkpitt.solsoft.fr> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: 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 ?
