Re: recent rasops commits vs. macppc



Hi Michael,

I'm so sorry for the breakage. I'll investigate it.
Font width is 8?

I appreciate a lot if someone could provide dmesg and
backtrace when wscons is enabled after boot with serial
console.

PS
I decided to buy my own macppc machine. Could anyone
recommend me a model of

- serial console capable
- newer and smaller as possible

Thanks,
rin

Hello,

I just tried to update a few macppc machines and found that every one
of them crashes early during kernel startup, before the copyright is
printed. Rolling back dev/rasops/ to july 1st allowed them to boot.

I didn't have time to investigate further but, as a data point, macppc
early console uses 8bit colour and a bitmap font, scribbling into a
firmware-provided framebuffer.

have fun
Michael
