Hi,
this patch adds the mac-io IDE support to openBIOS. It works well with openBIOS (to load kernel) and with kernel 2.4 but has some problems with linux 2.6.
For instance, using debian-31r8-powerpc-netinst.iso with kernel 2.4 works well (but not kernel 2.6), but using debian-40r6-powerpc- netinst.iso fails when debian-installer loads all udeb components.
Is there a bug in qemu, linux or the mac-io IDE device tree is not initialized correctly ?
Regards, Laurent
