I have a 43P-140, which I bought on eBay a few weeks ago to add to the Fedora testing pile. Foolishly I was trying to get the CHRP kernel booting on it, just because it says 'chrp' in its device_type. Unfortunately I seem to have killed it -- I tried to update its firmware from TIG97251 to TIG04204 and although the update looked successful, it never came back. Says 'F2A' on the diagnostic panel. I renamed the firmware file on the floppy to 'precover.img' as the documentation suggests, but it never even looks at the floppy drive when it starts up. Anyone know if the firmware flash on these can be removed and flashed externally, or have any better suggestions? -- dwmw2 ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

But these are actually PPLUS board but the residual data and boot methods are so similar to PreP that they could be merged. The host bridge is flexible (the MVME5100 has the same PHB but a completely different layout set up by the firmware IIRC). I have local patches in the tree I use (still 2.2) that make the memory map more CHRP like (to have more PCI memory space and less I/O space). The main problem is that I'm short on cycles to work on porting them to 2.6 (the other is that I'm not sure that it's worth putting 2.6 on machines with 16MB of RAM, current kernels with extremely stripped down configs are still much larger than the ones I run on these boards).
