Bug#272967: Acknowledgement (NewWorld "Blue & White" Mac Powerpc install -- problems with firewire and aec62xx driver.)

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas55@pobox.com>]

I forgot to add:

Note 5:

	Several times during the installation, I got an error message 
telling me that some modules were not loaded because they could not 
be found:

      ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect, ide-generic

Note 6:

	I installed the same netinst CD on my beige G3 tower, using 
BootX as boot loader.  This machine also has the SIIG "Ultra ATA" 
controller.  Curiously enough, I did *not* get timeout /lost 
interrupt messages on this install.  Is it possible that the Beige 
G3 somehow declares itself to have a slower bus than the Blue & 
White claims, and this causes the driver to use a slower DMA 
mode -- hence no timeouts?

In other words, the Blue & White is claiming to have a faster PCI 
bus than it really can deliver, but the Beige makes no such 
claims.  The Blue and White pays the price for boasting, the Beige 
reaps the benefits of modesty?

Also, curiously, the Beige G3 had no complaints about missing modules...

Go figure!
