Well, not that helpful but here are my experiences: Today rsynced 2.3.99p9 from linuxcare-> vector: 700 at pc = c000673c, lr = c00051f8, msr = 81030, sp = c01f2ee0 [c01f2e30] current = c01f1000, pid = 0, comm = swapper mon> x This is on a pm7200, the same with bitkeeper. So the line must be working(physical). Tomorrow I try to get a bk tree with the changes visible, but 300MB in size..... No, not today via 56k modem.... A 2.3.99p6 DID work under 7200. I suppose digging in the diffs is now THE task, for me, if it boots, then I/we have to find out about the console stuff. In other words, I'm also interested in getting this to work. regards Andreas ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
