Re: 2.6.3-benh1 does not boot
Contacted a Gentoo developer about this issue. Thank you very much for your help. Regarding the ps/2 thing, please read this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/debian-powerpc-200402/msg00320.html I don't understand what you are doing still There is no PS/2 hardware in a Mac, using the PS/2 driver in there will cause such trouble as hangs, just make sure you don't have that in your .config Ben.
Re: 2.6.3-benh1 does not boot
Hi David, recently i had the same problem with 2.6 and it was because i forgot to build pci support in the kernel. Hope it helps ;-) I am also having problems booting the new kernel. It complains about being unable to mount the root VFS hda11 or hda11 The kernel image is compiled with xfs support, and the root is xfs. From memory, this is the relevant stuff in my yaboot.conf partition=11 boot=/dev/hda9 root=/dev/hda12 image=/vmlinux label=Linux image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.21-newpmac label=LinuxOld My yaboot config works fine for 2.4.21. Does anyone have some tips? (I'll try reviewing some kernel options, but it takes ages to compile on my 1st ed TiBook.) -- Yo no sufro de locura, la disfruto a cada minuto.

I am using the same configuration file (with make oldconfig, of course), so it should not be a config problem. Can you check if you go further if you don't enable the pmac_zilog serial driver in your .config ? Ben. Ben, I have already disabled pmac_zilog, no difference. BTW, the ps/2 bug I mentioned in an earlier post is still reproducable with pmac_zilog not set. Simon

During boot or when the system is up with another kernel? And with cmd-power you mean [apple][power-switch], don't you? I tried that on power-up (threw me into OpenFirmware, but t is not a command there ...) and everywhere else (kernel boot, system up) it did nothing ... Sorry ... Simon

Make sure you have CONFIG_XMON set, then use apple-power yes, you'll get to a mon prompt. Additionally, if you have loaded the System.map along with the kernel (option sysmap=path in yaboot), you'll have useful symbols in xmon. The idea is to try to break into xmon once the box is hung, and get a backtrace of what's going on. Ben.
