Hi Carlos,
I will take a look at the SONIC driver very soon.
I don't know of a way to disable that driver.
But it would not be a problem to disable the driver when compiling a
new kernel.
I'd like to get more information about the machine check.
The two lines below aren't the only error messages, are they?
In order to get the boot messages sent to the serial port you have to
connect you PB to another Macintosh via a serial (printer) cable and
give the kernel the boot parameter "console=ttyS0,115200". 115200 is
the highest baudrate that will work. You should also add the argument
"debug" in order to get more detailed information.
In MacOS Classic or MacOS X you can use ZTerm to see what the PB sends.
I also did it that way to develop those latest patches as it is the
only chance to see what happened before the shutdown
"miboot.image" is for use with miboot which is a boot loader that
allows you to boot from HFS formatted media like floppy, CD-ROM and
hard drive partitions without the need of having MacOS installed at
all.
With a SCSI CD-ROM that supports booting a MacOS installation CD on
your PB you will be able to use the miboot ISO images from the
nubus-pmac project site's files section.
miboot uses the same routines as BootX but with miboot you can use
compressed images while the BootX versions (>=1.2) that support
compressed kernels don't support NuBus Macs.

Tobias,
On my PB500 it initializes SONIC and after it sets eth0 the folowing
is printed to screen
Machine Check in Kernel mode.
Caused by (from SRR1=49030); transfer error ack signal
The machine then shuts-down by itself after 3 seconds
Is this sonic causing problems? Is there a way to disable sonic (like
sonic=no in the kernel boot options)
One other thing how do I use miboot.image. What kind of image is this?
Thanks
Carlos

Hi all!
I finally managed to get the interrupt handling and PMU stuff stable.
At least I cannot provoke PMU shutdowns anymore.
I hope all interrupt related problems like shutdowns, lost
interrupts, and net device timeouts are now solved.
On my machine both the orinoco wireless card and the internal cs8900
ethernet card are working without problems now and at higher speed
than before.
Another improvement is the activated CPU power saving for 603 and G3
CPUs.
On my machine when idle over 90% the CPU temperature is about 20°
less than it used to be (from 75-80° to 55-60°).
The kernel images can be downloaded from my webspace:
BootX: http://home.vrweb.de/internetzel/vmlinux
miboot: http://home.vrweb.de/internetzel/miboot.image
MkLinux Booter: http://home.vrweb.de/internetzel/Mach%20Kernel
I would be glad if everyone out there tested my new patches.
If they prove to be stable I will provide the patches in order to
update the source tree.
Tobias
