Re: Installing on a dual G5 (Modified by Miro Jurišić)
Sven asked me to send this to the list (it ended up out-of-band by
mistake)

Well, if it is the SMP version, the image containing it still doesn't
boot my dual G5. However, I don't know if that's the kernel's fault

not -- it's an OF error and I am guessing that it occurs near the end
of yaboot rather than early in the kernel. So, for all I know, the
bug
could be in yaboot.
Mmm, what version of yaboot are you using ? There are definitively
some
point there.
Let me clarify this further: if I use the 2.4 kernel with 1.3.12
yaboot, the last thing I see before the machine freezes is a white
screen with an OF error regarding /cpus/PowerPC,G5 (which does not
exist in my device tree).
What do you have in /cpus ?
If I use the 2.6 kernel with 1.3.12 yaboot, I get a brief flash of a
white screen on which I _think_ I see the same error as in the 2.4
case, but it's really hard to tell -- we are talking about a fraction
of a second flash here -- after which I get a black screen with some
messages that look like they came from the kernel, ending with
"openpic2: exit", and then the machine freezes.
openpic is the interrupt controller. But more than that i cannot help.
Maybe someone with G5 experience could help here ? Jens ? BenH ?
Friendly,
