Hi Brad and Finn,
I tried setting up my system so I can use the floppy drive to copy the dmesg. However, I'm not positive that Linux is seeing the floppy drive. I made a device node (major 2, minor 0) for the drive and tried to mount the disk and eject the disk, but it says it's invalid. Is the major/minor numbers different on m68k macs?
Thanks,
J Silverman

Hi Brad and Finn,
I finally got a completely bootable floppy disk setup with
an initramfs and I'm happy to report that the keyboard
does work. However, in the dmesg I got from the fully
booted system, I saw many "pmu intr 00" messages.
Lots and lots of them. I'm going to try to devise a way
to get a copy of the dmesg off the system tomorrow.
Thanks,
J Silverman

I think the "pmu intr 00" messages

significant. My PB 190cs
prints that only once (see below) but ADB works
(I was
able to use the
keyboard to log in and I tested the trackpad with
gpm). I noticed that
pmu_restart() works but pmu_read_pram() does not.
This kernel is kernel.org version 2.6.26.2. It
has the
macscsi lockup bug,
of course, but that bug somehow failed to
manifest in
both J's video and
the bootup in the log below.
I'm wondering if the PB190 actually has a newer
version
of PMU that just
looks enough like the one in the PB2xx and PB5xx
models
that the driver
happens to work for both. The PB190 is known to be
very
similar to the
ppc based PB5300. It may be a more reliable version of
the
chip.
