For that kernel binary, if you set the kernel argument "keep_bootcon" in Penguin, you'll probably be able to see the futex_init crash. > With the vmlinux-3.10-2-m68k generic with initrd match, I get basically > the same thing. Either "keep_bootcon" or serial console would help here. I've not tested this binary, but Patrick did. Since your LC III has the 68882 chip I would expect that it would get further than his did. Do you have a download link? I could try the same binary on my PowerBook 180 (it has the 68882 also). > It doesn't seem to be continuing to boot in the background as if it were > a display thing, and I can't find my serial adapters to let me hook up a > serial console to it to see if it's doing anything interesting. > If you want to use another Mac as a serial console (e.g. one running ZTerm or ClarisWorks) then you can use a printer cable (e.g. the one that shipped with StyleWriter printers).

It has been many years since I tested a IIci. I don't recall its configuration or what it looked like when booting. The on-board RAM Based Video means that screen corruption is not unexpected. You could try leaving the on-board video output disconnected in favour of a NuBus video card (if you have one). I vaguely recall that there's a performance benefit to disconnecting the on-board (RBV) output. > It does have some definite capacitor problems that might be impacting > thing, as its sound is dead and it's somewhat unstable even under plain > Mac OS (which is why it's been a monitor stand - I haven't had a chance > to recap it). So, no joy on my two 68030 boxes. Best re-cap it and test again when the known '030 issues get fixed IMHO.
