Good News!
*** A500 is starting to come alive! ***
Kudos to (in alpha order): amodra, danglin dhd, ggg (myself), jsm, pb, rhirst
and others names I just can't think of right now.
Kudos for long hours on the 64-bit specific issues: Toolchain, VM,
Boot loader, PDC wrappers, PAT PDC inventory, 32->64-bit syscall translators,
device drivers, kernel module support, etc....Output log is below.
TODO:
o sym53c896 driver is quite verbose at boot...do we still need this?
o kernel message buffer gets dumped again when "Switching from PDC console"
o mke2fs will sometimes crash the system. Typical symptom of I/O MMU
support (SBA driver) not handling Scatter-Gather mappings correctly.
That's my problem. However I was not able to reproduce it yet.
o dd to raw disk isn't working right. "No space left on device".
See the output below.
o don't see Acenic driver output. I've got CONFIG_ACENIC=y and the device
is definitely seen by PCI.
good night!

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 8682.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
