Try this 2.6.22.19 kernel: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/~fthain/jcewy/
I've tested it on my Quadra 650. This build includes PDMA (unfortunately not available on 660av/840av hardware) and hardware clock driver (broken on 900/950, but works with CUDA and MacII ADB). Quadra/Centris 650 uses SONIC ethernet, so you should be good to go. -f On Fri, 18 Apr 2008, Joel Ewy wrote: > Ok, so I've got the 9G drive hooked up.
