Hi. Thanks for the work. I need to take a close look of your patches because I completely restructured OHW. For example, HFS code is quite different in my working repository (but still have problems on some fs)... I have a few remarks about the patches: * in Qemu: pci_enabled option should not be used for PPC emulation: we don't emulate MCA, so PCI is mandatory for PREP and the Mac target is Mac99 which also always have PCI. The rest of the patch seems OK, imho. I can't compare OHW for now, as it seems that most of the patch is cosmetic (blanks, tabs) and as most files have changed. Could you please regenerate the patch using: --ignore-all-space --ignore-blank-lines --ignore-space-change --minimal -p options to make it easier to read ? I'll send you my current working version of OHW by mail so you can compare and see where your patches can still apply easily (while I'll try too...). -- J. Mayer Never organized
