It has but it is not yet ported to the NuBus PowerMacs.
That should be trivial and I will try to do so.
Does the driver work with the 68040 PB500?

No, I don't have the PCMCIA module, I confirm that the ethernet chip

Doesn't linux-mac68k have a driver for this chip?
Thanks Tobias.

Hi Carlos,
this are good news - that messages with "MMU: exit" and "arch: exit".
They mean that every basic things can be set up properly.
The reason for the stop with the newer kernels should be the media
bay driver.
It needs to be disabled for both the PB500 and the PB2300 as they
don't have a real media bay with IDE controller and floppy interface.
I should be able to fix that easily.
Might be you don't even need the serial connection - provided all
necessary drivers work.
The modem might be working. But for the ethernet interface there is
no driver as far as I know. In the developer notes I read that the
PB500 has the Sonic chipset.
You don't have the PCMCIA module have you?
I'll send you an updated kernel soon.

Hi there,
The PowerBook 500 is a:
540c upgraded with a Apple PPC card running at 100 (99) MHz
Active matrix display capable of thousands of colors (16 bit) at
640x400 resolution
40Mb ram (8Mb on processor upgrade card + 32Mb ram module)
19.9 Global Village internal modem
The rest is all on spec
I tried MachKernel-2.4.30-pre1-bk-PB1 and MachKernel-2.4.30-pre1-bk,
both these stoped not at MMU:mapin ram done but it starts writing at
the top of the screen again with the folowing:
---------------------TOP OF SCREEN-----------------
MMU: setio
MMU: exit
setup_arch: enter
setup_arch: bootmem
arch: exit
"Writes one blank line"
"Writes second blank line and stops"
The other kernel I tried is MachKernel-YDL30-030623, this one gets
along further to the kernel panic discribed in my original post
I have a powermac 9600 (Running OS 9.1 and 10.4.5 at the present)
that I can connect to the Modem/Printer Port of the PowerBook just
tell me what I nead to do.
Tried BootX and the screen just goes black and nothing happens.
Thanks

Hola Carlos,
I read the Apple Developer Note for the PowerBook 500.
It is indeed nearly the same machine as the PowerBook 2300.
What is the exact type of your PB500 and what expansions does it
have?
And as you already got a nearly successful bootup I think it will be
possible to get it working.
What kernel image did you use exactly?
I could easily disable the IDE driver in the kernel sources but I'd
like to
have the kernel automatically not loading it because it can
determine what
type of machine it is running on.
It would be *VERY* helpful and might even be necessary that you
connect
another macintosh or whatever computer to the serial port and tell
the
kernel to redirect the output to the serial port.
Do you have got the possibility to connect your PB to another
computer via a
serial connection?
Tobias
