Um... Are you sure? I've got a DayStar 040 for my IIsi, and from the
looks of the hang, it dies setting up the MMU mapping. I've been
trying to get some compilable kernel sources (I'm firewalled, no sup)
so I can delve into the source myself, but I'm guessing that the
weird IIsi physical memory mapping is killing it.
This is with caches off, of course, on an otherwise running system
(without the DayStar - I'd really LOVE to get it going).
Ideas?
