I tried out your patch using Mac OS 10.2.8 and the beige g3 target. I didn't notice any difference while booting with and without your patch. What is the exact version of Mac OS 10.2 you are using?
That's a good question - I can't tell unless there is a file on the CD which specifically states the version?
After you have booted to the desktop, click on the Apple menu and select "About this Mac". It will tell you in the window that opens up. Oh, you are using a CD. I was testing with an installation of Mac OS 10.2.8.
This message is displayed with and without your patch: AppleSCCSerial: Failed to create Tx DMA interupt event source!
Is that just a warning, or is a fatal error that prevents booting into the installer?
Just a warning. Someone said it isn't necessary to have DMA support for ESCC to boot Mac OS 9 and it doesn't hurt Mac OS X, so I guess it will not be fixed. Unless someone has a need for the ESCC.
