Hi,
I'm asking for help to add support for the AmigaOne (desktop PPC) to Debian
GNU/Linux. Currently AmigaOne users have to install a Debian Woody base system,
before they can upgrade to/install sarge or etch (also there is no other
GNU/Linux distribution available for the A1 ATM and ther
Hi,
I encountered some problems with Linux PPC on the AmigaOne. As you can see
in the /proc/interrupts output below, the AmigaOne has a i8259 PIC (no
OpenPIC). The first problem is, that the interrupts 7 and 10 are shown as
"Edge" triggered, but they're set to "Level"
