Are there any PPC hackers on this list? I posted the following message to the openbsd-ppc list but there doesn't seem to be much activity there. I found this message: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ppc&m=119662985806682&w=2 from 12/2007 but so far, no response.
Anyway, I'm trying to install OpenBSD 4.3 on my Mac G4/400 (PCI) and keep getting messages along the lines: "wd0(pci ide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 16384 c_skip: 0...wd0g: device timeout writing fsbn ..." I've tried the install using two different 80G drives (a Maxtor and a Western Digital) but encounter the same problem, so it seems to be an IDE controller issue more than anything (I'm using the onboard IDE controller with a single drive on ide:0) Once the timeouts begin I pretty much lose all ability to control the box even though it still responds to pings (SSH just hangs as well). I know the Mac is OK because I've been running OSX on it for years. ;-) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! don
