Hi everybody again ;) I've finally managed to get a crosscompiler setup installed according to [1]. Now i've taken kernel-patch-2.6.8-m68k_2.6.8-1_all.deb from [7] and built my own 2.6.8 kernel image from kernel-source 2.6.8-5 and the above patch. This, combined with the config [2] gave me the Mac kernel-image [3] for my Quadra 650. For those who haven't followed the thread. I cannot use Christian's 2.6.8-mac image, for my SONIC on-board-NIC will initialize and then free the system. All i see is the line "MAC 08" and that's it. No chance to get past that (eventually it'll print the full mac instead the first byte only). However my own kernel has a few shortcomings still. While booting the scsi system seems to encounter a timeout which however is recovered from [4]. This is only a matter of my latest wildly trying changes to get things working. The first images i had tried worked quite ok in that sense (yet either the NIC wouldn't be a module, or other things that didn't get the whole thing flying). Nevertheless, the much larger problem is a kernel oops that does occur with the ADB keyboard or whatever [5] would like to tell me. Unfortunately i'm no kernel-oops-wiz, so if someone could step in and give me a helping hand, how to track this down, i'm willing to contribute all back to the linux-m68k kernel to have a good 2.6.8-mac Debian distro kernel suitable for Sarge. For those who want a mini-howto, with only the commands i used to get the kernel cross-compiled, see [6]. Thanks for your help. ;) (As usual, if i've missed to supply anything important, please just let me know and i'll try to provide it) [1]: http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html [2]: http://home.bawue.de/~kk/m68k/config_maia.20040805 [3]: http://home.bawue.de/~kk/m68k/kernel-image-2.6.8_maia.20040805_m68k.deb [4]: http://home.bawue.de/~kk/m68k/shot1.jpg [5]: http://home.bawue.de/~kk/m68k/shot2.jpg [6]: http://home.bawue.de/~kk/m68k/kernel-cross-compile.txt [7]: http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/kernel-patch/ -- Best regards, Kilian
