Hi,
I was able to build a PPC (PMAC) SMP kernel using the 2.4.0-test1
sources with the PMAC/PPC patches, but I can't seem to get the kernel
to boot. My machine is a 7600 with a 2 x 200 604e card.
I see the initial boot text from Boot-X, but it never gets to the
point where it displays the two penguins. Since there is no oops, I'm
not sure where to start debugging.
Any ideas?

A guy with a 9500 machine had success with quik booting, BootX seems
not wo work. Maybe you can try miboot, but I guess the AAPL,ROM leaves
the second processor in a "unknown" state.
