Hi Finn,
with your patch, 4.17rc2 boots again to user space.
# ls -lrt /sys/bus/nubus/devices/
total 0
# cat /proc/bus/nubus/devices
[no output]
No need for a Mac test in nubus_proc_init() as it appears to work just fine.
Are we confusing any legacy user space tools that might check for
presence of /proc/nubus with this patch? Do you want an alternative
patch tested (MACH_IS_MAC() test in
nubus_driver_register() instead)?
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Finn,
I'll try that one - will require a new kernel though, and I can't
currently reach elgar by ssh...
Quite confident this is the right way to fix the issue.
Regarding zorro bus drivers - bus_register is called unconditionally
from a core initcall for the Zorro bus code. I suppose it's always
initialized even on ARAnyM. But Geert should know - AFAIR he tests all
his kernels using ARAnyM.
Cheers,
Michael

Please consider the patch below. The approach here is to always register
the bus type, regardless of platform.
An alternative approach would be to add another MACH_IS_MAC() test to
nubus_driver_register().
Arguably this patch should add a MACH_IS_MAC() test in nubus_proc_init().
BTW, does zorro_register_driver() cause the same failure? What happens if
you do 'modprobe zorro7xx' on Aranym?
