hi all, a short status note, the 7200 boots again with the latest linux-pmac-devel. It took a long time, but finally it works again. Thanks to all who helped. One thing I have, although. My 7200 doesn't use the internal SCSI bus nor the external. I use a 2940UW to boot from. But this device gets only recognized when I apply the attached patch. From Geert. So, I don't know who to contact to comment this patch. (Well, I actually know who, but I get few to no responses) Thanks Andreas
