Hi,
I've just compiled a 2.4.19 kernel with smp support but when I do a cat
/proc/cpuinfo I can only see one processor ? Do I need to set something more
than SMP=y in make config ?
I'm using a debian kernel source package with the patches for powerpc.

Newer machines need my latest tree for SMP

Ok, I've downloaded it and compiled it, but the only message I get at boot is
loading elf32 image or something like that and nothing more...
I have tried with vmlinux.elf-pmac, zImage.chrp, zImage.chrp-rs6k
with and without SMP.
To compile the kernel I have used a .config based on one from a 2.4.19 which
runs
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance, xavier

If you use linux, just boot a plain vmlinux file, not a zImage.
Work fine now, using vmlinux + the option video=ofonly.
Great to use two processors !

Hrm... I didn't fully wake up yet ;) I meant if you use "yaboot",
not "linux" :)

It's seems to be a RADEON 9000.
No succes with the actual xfree version :-(
Yah, though XFree CVS should work, and Michel Danzer debs
might too, but that has to be tested with him.
I'll try them in a few minutes...
What about radeonfb ? (The kernel framebuffer device). Does
it work with my kernel ?
It is in the kernel, but how do you now it work ?
I have the two penguin at start.
But I don't know how to make xfree86 to use radeonfb.

Use "fbdev" as the driver in xfree, that will cause X to
run unaccelerated on top of radeonfb, so it will at least
be able to set mode & colors properly.
I think support for the 9000 have been added to XFree CVS
recently, though that may not yet be in the DRI one (and
so Michel snapshots). The XFree CVS is beeing merged
again into the DRI one now, so this should be fixed soon.
where can I find the .deb files from Michel, please ?

What video card do you have ? It doesn't work without
video=ofonly ? It's a radeon or nVidia ? Can you
send me the lspci -vv output (as root)
Ben.

Ok, if you have the penguins and the text console, then it
works.
Not necessarily if you're booting with video=ofonly. cat /proc/fb

Yep, and in the meantime, you could try telling the radeon driver to
treat it like a 8500 with the ChipID or Chipset directive.

Beware that the radeon 2D driver is still basically 4.2.0.

What do I need to put ? There is 4 different RADEON 8500 ?

Ok, this is offb, so you don't have radeonfb. Another user
is reporting me that radeonfb doesn't work on your card.
I'll see what I can do.
