Hangs somewhere after prom_print, like >it always does:-/ As I just wrote you privately, you _can_ use prom_print() and xmon_printf() when booting from Open Firmware but only if you have the appropriate patch. You can find the code for that in the prom.c patch inside the ibook patches on my page. Also make sure to fix xmon so that it initialises correctly for on-screen display (it does this by default on PowerBooks only for now). If you don't use xmon, then manually call map_bootx_text() just after the MMU init, or manually map the fb with a BAT inside MMU init. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
