i guess it's a different problem from the PegasosI G3 but i could be wrong. I'd like to receive feedbacks and a working kernel config if someone is running with success linux-2.6.26.x on a Pmac B&W G3. This machine, altough obsolete, is still quite commonThe snapshot you posted doesn't have much information... there's no obvious error for example in there...
I know, I received from it from a user. It's where the kernel hangs. Anyway, the last year, i received many install failures report from cruxppc users. I hope it's only my fault building the bootkernel and i'd like to receive a feedback from others distro developers for this specific machine. I always avoided to collect obsolete machines thus I don't have a B&W G3 but now i'm looking for one.
What video driver are you trying to use ? Have you tried plain offb ? (disabling whatever is the native driver for your video card, ie, radeonfb or aty128fb or even atyfb, dunno what you have in there). You can also try something like "udbg-immortal" on the kernel command line see if that brings you more debug output.
I'll try to receive more detailed info from that gentle user. Thanks again for your kind support, Nico -- GNU/Linux on Power Architecture CRUX PPC - http://cruxppc.org/
