Re: Seeking Mac testers, was Re: Linux Mac68k v4.1.39 test kernel build is available



Strangely, I haven't been able to reproduce that ADB error. Launching the kernel is temperamental: I have to open Settings in Penguin and reselect the same kernel so that it will boot and not hang after ABCDEFGH, so it may have been a temporary thing.

The kernel is working on the SE/30, but it only has 8MB of RAM and has been booting for the past 2 hours.

Thanks for sending these results.

I never tested an SE/30, but I used to test on a Mac II with an '030
accelerator so I'm optimistic that the SE/30 will work too.

This crash appears to be a regression caused by my github patch queue.

If possible, can you confirm that the 4.1.39-mac_scsi-egret build on
sourceforge is unaffected?

Thanks again!
