Hi, There is also a thread (BootX) on linux power pc kernel list (see linuxppc-dev mailing list on penguinppc.org). I find it very curious that it can't even do simple device queries. I don't even think inquiry works. I think I'm gonna try to move the root disk to the 53c94 controller. Or maybe I'll borrow the pci ide controller I have in another system and move it to that. Debugging this will be ALOT easier if the mesh is not required for 'operation' of the system. kevin On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 2:39 AM, VAUGHAN Jay <jay.vaughan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 02/03/2011 02:58 AM, Ian Lance Taylor wrote: >> kevin diggs<diggskevin38@xxxxxxxxx> writes: >> > Uh ...
