Hello,
I was recently offered a G5 which is not supported yet by OpenBSD
(per www.openbsd.org/macppc.html):
* Power Macintosh G5 (October 2005, dual core (PowerMac 11,2))
is not supported yet.
* SATA does not work on PowerMac G5 and Xserve G5 systems.
(I do have the PowerMac 11,2 model)
I was wondering what is preventing this hardware from being
supported. Especially, if this is because of a lack of access
to the hardware, I could provide such an access to the OpenBSD
developpers, or I could help by testing kernels or such.
Having this running OpenBSD would help testing and building big
ppc ports, so I'd gladly help making it supported if this is
possible!
BTW, a big thank you to Dale Rahn for the PowerPC interrupt
rewrite. This fixed all the "device timeout" I was having
with wd0 and bm0 on my B&W G3. I haven't experienced a single
device timeout since then.
Thanks again,
Donovan.
