I suppose I could, but actually I wasn't asking for the two qemu patches to be merged. Instead I was posting "here's something that provides minimal function for me, hope you can use it too". For instance, someone should track down pci memory so that ohci and/or video works. Then test the isa ne2ks, or better yet get qemu to change them to pci (except then it only works on the latest qemu). I didn't put it under prep because it could be changed for the other qemu platforms and doesn't use any thing that makes the machine prep other than some memory map information. I kept prep because I didn't want to deal with io to the scc on b&w G3, the other long-term platform (or with hackware to see if that would just boot as pmac). milton _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
