L2CR for upgrade cards.

L2CR for upgrade cards.

[Rick Meier]

Has anyone actually seen the a G3 upgrade card working with the backside
cache under LinuxPPC?  I have tried a NewerTECH G3/300 w/512k and a
PowerLogix 400/200.  I was never able to get the cache working.  I am
using BootX 1.0.2 and kernel 2.2.4 (checked out from vger).  I never see
the "override" statement in my dmesg and when I look at
/proc/sys/kernel/l2cr is shows the cache disabled.

Any Ideas?

Make a copy of your Mac OS Cache enable INIT and change the type to "scri"
and rename it to load before the BootX INIT. When BootX gets control the
L2 cache will already be enabled.
