I've been trying Debian woody for PowerPC on a blue-and-white G3 tower
machine (PPC750/350 MHz, 192 MB RAM). Finally got yaboot working, so now
I'm playing with getting 2.4.x going (in part to get the built-in support
for Mac-on-Linux). However, when I try to boot the kernel, I get errors
about conflicts in I/O address space, and the secondary IDE interface
(what 2.2.17 sees as hde/hdf) shows up as the primary, but both hard
drives (Linux installed on hdb, MacOS on hda) do not show at all. I can't
use serial-console, and I don't have an NFS server (I may have to setup a
basic NFS-root image on another machine to boot it from). Also, it has no
floppy drives. I can't scroll back, so I can't read all the messages.
I saw a previous post about a similar situation with test5 a ways back in
Geocrawler's linux-kernel archive, but I don't see any answer to the
earlier query.

Yep. I've tried building with the CMD64x driver, and that didn't help
matters, if you were wondering. Any thoughts?

Did you try the bitkeeper PPC kernel ? (or Paul Mackerras rsync tree ?)
Not all PPC patches have been merged in Linus tree yet. There were some
resource assignement issues that were fixed only recently.

Tried linuxcare's PPC kernel tree (fetched via rsync) and it is working.
Some changes had to be dealt with, but I'm sorting this stuff out. I've
discovered that I shouldn't use DRI. :) Also, with 2.4.0-test10, in 16bpp
depth, I get weird white pixels on solid color areas. 24bpp mode takes
care of it.
