Re: Getting 7500 w/ G3 upgrade card to boot w/ quik
Le mar 2005-01-18 a 17:55:40 -0500, Sean Jewett [EMAIL PROTECTED] a dit: I have a 7500 with a G3 upgrade card (Sonnet Crescendo G3/PCI 250Mhz 512K cache) that I'm having trouble getting to boot w/ quik. I can run the boot / root disks just fine, but after installing quik and rebooting the system hangs. I've spent the better part of the day going through various troubleshooting tips, a fair bit of which came from the NetBSD stuff here: both an 8500 and a power tower pro with a g3/300 here. both booted with no problems. the MESH SCSI controller might be getting in the way hoever. i encountered that with another PT pro witha g3/400. you need the g3/mesh patch possibly: http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/g3upgrade.html : Booting from the internal SCSI bus set your output-device to whatever your video device is, and set your input-device to kbd (use boot var. or system disk: http://simonraven.nuit.ca/macppc/files/) and see if OF keeps whining about resetting SCSI Bus... repeatedly. if it is, then you need the patch (info grabbed from first URI). and please use quik 2.1, it's got new stuff in it that should make it much more usable. sarge's is updated to that version as of a few days ago.

The older versions of quik were incompatible with G3 upgrades, but it got fixed eventually. What version are you using? If you are using an old woody set, it may still have the old version.

Getting 7500 w/ G3 upgrade card to boot w/ quik
I have a 7500 with a G3 upgrade card (Sonnet Crescendo G3/PCI 250Mhz 512K cache) that I'm having trouble getting to boot w/ quik. I can run the boot / root disks just fine, but after installing quik and rebooting the system hangs. I've spent the better part of the day going through various troubleshooting tips, a fair bit of which came from the NetBSD stuff here: http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/ Here is what I've managed to figure out. If the Mac can get to the grey rom screen the card is useable, it'll boot the Debian boot installer just fine as it will also boot MacOS 8.5 as well. I have reset the CUDA switch. I have applied the patch to get open firmware to display on the chaos video controller rather than tty1, as documented here: http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/of105patch.html I have installed the Sonnet card drivers on disk w/ MacOS in the hopes it would reprogram the nvram. I've tried re-running quik after each of these stages to no avail. I am seeing what is documented here: http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#cpu-upgrade which is the system will run fine with the 601 proc but not the G3 upgrade (likewise, I have a 604 in another system running fine as well). Given that, what have I not tried or do I need to try in order to get this to work? I feel like it's just a matter of tweaking the nvram but how / what needs to be tweaked I've not found great documentation for.
