new powerpc subarch: newpmac (using 2.4 kernel)

2001-12-07 Thread Colin Walters
So, currently woody (using a 2.2 kernel on powerpc) doesn't support most newer PowerPC Apple Macintosh hardware. So, here are the initial patches to create a new subarchitecture, which I modeled after the sun4u stuff. We still need to get a special 2.4 kernel image (as well as the pcmcia modules

So, it turns out that the reason parport_pc doesn't get loaded automatically is that boot-floppies does "echo /bin/true > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", thus defeating kmod. (This happens in /etc/init.d/rcS on the root disk.) Perhaps we should set that back to /sbin/modprobe while running modconf.
