2.2.12 and rev2 B&W G3: up and running!

[Otto Moerbeek]

Hi,

I have been able to compile and run 2.2.12 using Paul Mackerras
linux-pmac-stable source tree. I am running it on a B&W G3, rev2, no
SCSI. Some comments:

- I had to use hda=noautotune as a kernel arg. Otherwise a DMA timeout
occurs when doing the partition check.
- I had to apply my USB-ISO keyboard patch (available at
<http://people.a2000.nl/omoerbe/>) to get all the keys on my keyboard
working.

Now doing a linux-pmac-devel rsync, to see what's there...

TX Paul, for doing a great job!

Gr, 
Otto

Hmmm,

I just rsynced Paul's stable tree again and now my machine freezes after
displaying the Booting... message (just before the color logo is
displayed.

Luckily I had a tree from a few days back lying around. If I use that
version everything seems to work, expect sound. I had to disable the
sound daemon to make it run without problems.

Anyone having a idea what code is changed the last days?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to include some EXTRA_VERSION in the stable
tree's Makefile, to make it more easy to distinguish different versions?

Gr, Otto

linux-pmac-stable & rev2 B&W G3 works again

[Otto Moerbeek]

Hi to youn all,

After the last rsync this morning, Pauls's stable tree seems to work
again on my rev2 B&W G3, no scsi, as long as I specify hda=noautotune as
a kernel booot parameter. Sound also doesn't freeze my machine anymore.

Gr, Otto
