I have also been seeing the same old 'lost interrupt' problem when trying to boot a B&W G3 using the latest yaboot (0.8) on the latest pmac-devel rsync kernel. I was wondering if this was a know bug with the latest 2.4 tree kernel's. I also booted the same kernel on a new G4/450 with no problems.I have a fix for that too. I'll push it as soon as I have access to bk again. In the meantime, apply enclosed changeset to the current linuxppc_2_3 bk tree.
Glad to hear that the linuxppc_2_3 bk tree is not dead. I was just going to ask about it, because since 2 weeks it has remained at -test8 which is feared for its terrible mailbox-eating habits. On the other hand, I am running a kernel obtained from this tree by applying just the "official" test9-pre1 patch, and I have now an uptime of 4 days, 22:02. This is the longest uptime I ever had with a 2.3/4 kernel. No spontaneous freezes so far <knocking on wood>. -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
