d-i ppc oldworld: no display problem fixed, 4400: block device access fails
Hello,
The oldworld floppies from 16/04 indeed fix the "no console shown" problem,
wonderful!
However, I still had the problem with the root floppy not being read. I was
now trying BootX booting and even for the HDD, I get sector errors. 2.2.20
from woody is fine. The relevant portion shows some interrupt problems
(manually typed, thus probably not an exact copy):
Uniform Mulit-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta4-2.4
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
ide0: Found Apple OHare ATA controller, bus ID 0
ide1: Found Apple OHare ATA controller, bus ID 1
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM2100A, ATA DISK drive
Unhandled interrupt d, disabled
(then ide1 with unhandled interrupt e)
ide0 at 0xc3816000-0xc3816007,0xc3816160 on irq 13
ide1 at 0xc381a000-0xc381a007,0xc381a160 on irq 14
Partition check:
hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 2
(then again, sector 4, sector 6, afain sector 0,2,4,6)
unable to read partition table
Maybe DMA should be switched off? (that's what I would try next on x86,
however I assume new floppy images would have to be built)
Have fun at the remaining BSP,
-Malte
