Nah, of course not. But once you get it running, please do so.

Well, but didn't you talk about a 3.14 kernel you compiled? The current
problem with 68020 and 68030 CPUs is that 3.2.0 is the latest kernel
we can currently boot on these machines due to the bug I mentioned
earlier. It's probably a very good idea to wait for 3.15 and boot
your A1200 with this kernel. It might fix the other problems you have.
I am, btw, very surprised that you got amiboot-6.0snapshot working, it
never worked for me and always completely froze my machine. Are you
sure you used 6.0snapshot and not the older 5.6 version?
See my earlier post here:

Let me parse your dmesg first :).

Hmm, interesting. I have to play around with that as well once I have
fired up my A1200 again. As I said before, I would wait until we
have kernel 3.15 and try with that one, there have been many
m68k-specific fixes since 3.2.0 was released.

Don't know, sorry.

Ah, I didn't see that.
