Hi everyone,
a couple of days ago I installed an OrangeLink Firewire/USB PCI Card in my beige G3 (266MT). Since then I haven't been able to boot into an existing SuSE 7.0 installation. I tried quite a few precompiled kernels (SuSE 2.2.14, SuSE 2.2.16, SuSE 2.2.18, SuSE 2.4.1, SuSE, 2.4.2, a couple of kernels from Benjamin Herrenschmidt and others) and none did work except for the official 2.2.19 kernel. Even that one only works after a cold restart. I wouldn't mind using that kernel but since using it my mouse stopped working under linux completly and I can't convince it to work.
What .config did you use? Maybe you should use /boot/vmlinuz.config and run make oldconfig. Backup your current working copy. The 2.2.19 Kernel from kernel.org should work fine on all pmacs until Summer 2000. Special hardware like your addon card is a diffent story. I would suggest to report your expirience with that card to the linuxppc-dev list. Send the dmesg output and lspci -vvx. http://lists.linuxppc.org/ Don't expect a fix on the same day :=) Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
