Sounds like a reasonable solution. Interesting that I hadn't really thought about *that* bit of the switch to debian-ports. I use approx, so I changed it once and forgot about it.

That reminds me... would you please enable powerbook ADB (CONFIG_ADB_PMU68K)? Not sure if it has the module option or not. If it does, just set it the same as CONFIG_ADB_CUDA. Thanks, Finn > > Yep.

I always install using my local mirror. We have that nice option "Enter information manually" option at the top of the country list exactly for that purpose :-) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: m68k netinst cd's
Hi Stephen, Can you tell me what the bootargs file should look like? Just replace / by \ everywhere, that should do it. I've done pretty much the same, just changed the kernel image path to refer to the CD drive using an absolute path (copying the kernel images to HD would have messed up the names). Okay that should be in the next dailies. Fine. - EtherNEC hangs with interrupts from stopped card - ethernec needs to be built as a module, not compiled in for the time being. I've tried to fix this in the driver, but no success so far. So CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNEC=m ? Okay that's queued for 2.6.26-7. I'm going to try to build that soon for the dailies and because it will require a d-i change. So this might take a bit yet. NP, I will try a few more things to make ethernec behave better (right now you have to use module arguments to set the base address, unnecessarily.

[PATCH] m68k: Atari EtherNEC fixes
Hi,
- EtherNEC hangs with interrupts from stopped card - ethernec needs to
be
built as a module, not compiled in for the time being. I've tried to fix
this in the driver, but no success so far.
So CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNEC=m ?
Okay that's queued for 2.6.26-7. I'm going to try to build that soon for
the dailies and because it will require a d-i change. So this might take
a bit yet.
NP, I will try a few more things to make ethernec behave better (right now
you have to use module arguments to set the base address, unnecessarily.
I finally found out why the driver was even getting interrupt delivered. Turns
out I did not use a wrapper for ei_interrupt in the usual case ... now where did
my brown paper bag go?
Patch attached; this goes on top of 2.6.26-m68k (i.e. with the current EtherNEC
patch applied). Should apply to Geert's tree with minimum fuss.
The driver loads as module without need of parameters now. It should also load
normally when compiled in (we'll see that in the next d-i iteration, won't we?).
Michael
(who hasn't forgotten about the various driver cleanups promised; it's been a
tad busy lately)
Use wrapper around ei_interrupt to prevent delivery of (timer!) interrupts before card
is opened.
Limit IO addresses to 0x300 (this is hardwired on the bus adapter anyway, and the card
needs to be programmed to use that IO in some way before the adapter can work).
Preset io=0x300 for module use.
