Tobias,

tried the most recen miboot.image and it still does the same

It takes a looooong time to get to "first boot screen" (the black screen without the penguin logo) and after it prints arch:exit it prints one blank line and nothing more. There is no output to ttyS0

I'm currently trying to get into the SCSI driver.
Unfortunately that driver is a generic one for hundreds of different boards and architectures and so it isn't optimized for the mac. That has as consequence that it doesn't use any interrupts and therefor has to poll everything from the SCSI bus. While polling interrupts are switched off and so one cannot move the mouse or press any keys while a SCSI command is processed. And it is VERY slow and merely unusable for hard disks.
I again tried my SCSI scanner and it's working without problems.

There are options to change some timings; I will upload a kernel with changed timing values within the next 30 minutes.
I will name it "Mach Kernel.SCSI".

In order to build a Mach Kernel image you have to get a complete nubus pmac kernel source tree (and you will also need my latest patches...) and after configuring the kernel you have to build it using "make zImage". After that the "Mach Kernel" image will be in "arch/ppc/ appleboot/" as well as the miboot.image.

Did you try the latest miboot.image yet?

That's bad news... Surely there is another developer that will help with the scsi (hopefully) :-)

One question.

How do I "package" a kernel to work with MkLinux Booter.

Thanks

Carlos
