I get a series of PCI address conflicts when probing the PCI bus
which result in my ethernet card not being able to be turned on. I am
not using the built-in GMAC, but an older Apple 10/100 PCI card. This
does not happen with the linux-pmac-stable kernel.
With recent kernels, GMAC works nicely. Several people (including me) are
working on solving those PCI problems.
Oops, I didn't notice you were using a dual-G4. I've not yet merged the
GMAC changes for this machine in 2.4, but if you rsync my current 2.2
tree, you should have a working GMAC driver (and no PCI conflicts BTW).
I'm waiting for some older patches to be accepted by Linus before hacking
more on the bk tree.
Ben.
