Writing in to give more details - I do have the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST set in the kernel, and hda is still showing up as hda. I also do not see any lines in the boot reporting that the hard drive has been detected (though they scroll by pretty quickly and it's hard to tell - is there a way to see what the dmesg was for a kernel that didn't finish booting due to a kernel panic?) The panic is the famous "Cannot open root device "hda8" or unknown-block(0,0)". Well, the cdrom doesn't have an hda8 of course, so this isn't surprising. What I'm attempting to discover is what I am missing in the kernel config to get my hard drive correctly supported. Further suggestions?

[gentoo-ppc-user] help with pcmcia wireless networking not reconnecting after sleep
Hi, I've tried posting about this on the forums but haven't gotten anywhere, can anyone help with this problem? I'm using a Netgear WG511T Atheros pcmcia card for wireless networking on my G3 Pismo powerbook, i've got the networking set up ok but when the laptop goes to sleep, eg when the lid is closed, the network card gets powered down (lights are off when in sleep), and when the computer is resumed from sleep the card is not connected any more, when power comes back on it has one light lit on the network card. I have to run "/etc/init.d/net.ath0 restart" as root every time i resume from sleep. I think in a previous incarnation of my set up (earlier packages, earlier kernel) it would resume from sleep and be connected, but not sure how it was set up at the time (card still on during sleep?). Does anyone have any suggestions about what the problem is, how it could be fixed, how its supposed to behave (is the pcmcia card meant to be off in sleep or not?), or where to start looking for answers? I'm running pbbuttonsd to handle sleeping, not running pmud (not installed), there is no /etc/init.d/pcmcia script in my set up (is there meant to be?). Its very hard to figure out what the problem is because I have no idea what is supposed to trigger network connection after resuming from sleep, is there supposed to be a trigger in one of the scripts in /etc/power that causes networking to be restarted? or does it magically set up the connection again some other way? thanks, Anthony -- But I ned tacos! I need them or I will explode! That happens to me sometimes. (Gir) -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've tried /dev/hda,c and e as being root upon rebooting, and every time I get a kernel panic. I'm not totally sure why, but I've been looking into the config to make sure I have things enabled properly (already found that I hadn't put support for my IDE interface, but that wasn't the only problem) Any other gotchas?
