here is a patch against 2.4.0-test3 as of yesterday (i.e. against the
version with broken timer.c & idle.c). I was having real problems getting
the BK rsync stuff until just now...
This patch fixes the cross-referencing of sys_ctrler - a variable indicating
the ADB controller type (CUDA or PMU).
It is quite wide-ranging and affected pmac_setup, xmon, nvram, time, start,
via-cuda, via-pmu & dmasound.
It may already have been fixed in 2.4.0-test4 (I just noticed that bitkeeper
has changed).
====
I'll do a separate patch against 2.4.0-test3 for the dmasound stuff (once
I've checked it out a bit more).
If you're desperate to try the sound then add a line
extern sys_ctrler_t sys_ctrlr ;
anywhere after machdep.h has been included - this should fix anyone else
who has a G3/desktop (with the dmasound sources from test3).
It *might* fix PB problems too (but I can't be certain).
====
It needs the scrutiny of a more experienced bunch - I may not have got the
conditionalisation right for all PPC platform variants... please be
gentle-ish...
Iain.
