Since may 1999, my kernel won't boot UNTIL I applied a patch I have available to anyone who wish. The problem (well known) is with the first (internal) SCSI not syncing at boot time. As my 2.1.125 kernel from linuxppc R4 was always fine but I need to boot new kernels, I've made this patch. Not that I understand a lot of what i've done, mainly backporting the mesh code from 2.1.125. At least, my mac now always BOOT. Before applying this patch, I had to try between 6 and 16 times to boot my computer. You DON'T know how tiring this is Thomas -- Thomas Capricelli ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
