new ibook, b-f, kernel 2.4
Hi, I tried to install woody on my new ibook (G3/600/384MB) with current boot-floppies 3.0.17 over network (in OF: boot enet:bootp,ip,yaboot). The kernel is booting fine and the installer gets started. The problem is, I need the network to install, but the gmac driver in 2.2.19 is to old to handle my builtin 10/100 network adapter. So I tweaked around with b-fs and managed to include kernel and modules from kernel-image-2.4.16-powerpc_2.4.16-1_powerpc.deb. I also included the modules loop.o and unix.o and modules.dep into the root.bin as the installer needs them (e.g. extract rescue.bin). My problem is: The installer does not see my harddisk. It is definitely there, as I can mac-fdisk, mke2fs and mount manually. I wonder how the installer is searching for harddisks? Or are the any kernels (2.2 with patched gmac driver, or 2.4) around specialized for this task? During bootup I also got these messages multiple times after initializing the ide driver: IN from bad port cfc at c00d0aa4 . . (all the same) IN from bad port c000 at c00d0bb8 IN from bad port c100 at c00d0bb8 . . (incrementing) IN from bad port cf00 at c00d0bb8 Sounds like it is related to the harddisk problem. I'll appreciate very much any help. As soon as I get this working, I'd like to put it somewhere, so others can use this hacked b-fs to install there new machines. tia florian -- Florian Friesdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP key available on public key servers -- Save the future of Open Source -- - Online-Petition against Software Patents - -- http://petition.eurolinux.org --- msg13644/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
