Problems with IDE master/slave settings on Blue & White
Hi,
I've got linux on a pb5300, G3-266, but the Blue & White gives
me problems.
Since I guess I have one of those first motherboards where the
second ide (Ultra ATA) doesn't work well, I try to install cdrom
as well as 40Gb disc on the first ide. The jumper settings that work
best
for OS9 are (I can boot from cdrom AND hd)
Disk: CS (carrier select) +Master
cdrom: Slave
When trying to boot from linux cdrom, I get into Open Firmware 3.1.1
and it says "default catch". The system freezes. Here OS 9 works
well,
no problem.
I have tried another setting, where the cdrom boots, but ... it doesn't
see the harddisk:
disk: CS + Master
cdrom: CS + Slave
I have the same problem with os X, install dies away, without saying
anything.
I know there are memory issues, but I use one 64Mb pc100sdram that
should be ok.
With another chip, I have generated the message "drawrect: cannot find
procedure"
I guess at that moment there is something wrong with the ROM, where
this kind
of procedures reside...
I should first resolve the ide settings.... and be able to boot from
both cdrom and disk
on the same ide bus. Or is that impossible with IDE?

I don't see a word like "REV A" or "REV B"....
