Hi all,
Machine: PowerPC 7300/200
Sorry for these possibly stupid questions, but I am genuinely befuddled by
these....
1.) Setting output device in OF to /chaos/control has worked twice out of
about ~60 boots. I'm getting fed up of operating from a serial
link... Has anyone else experienced any problems like this. I appreciate
it could be put down to "it just won't do it! " but why then did it work
twice...?
And I'm REALLY confused by the dev tree.... I can find no listing of ATY or
IMS....
"If that also doesn't work on your machine, look in the device tree for a
PCI device that contains the name of your video card (preceded by "ATY,"
for an ATI card, or "IMS," for a Twin Turbo card). Some examples are
"/bandit/ATY,mach64" and "/bandit@F4000000/IMS,tt128mb8A". " Anyone got
any more ideas on what I should be looking for???
2.) I just cannot get the boot floppy to work; I've had various stages of
success but the furthest I got was about 0.5 seconds of booting then the
spinning progress line. Then that's it, nothing.
Sorry if this is a bit vague. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers.
