Hi Phil, > So far I was able to compile bash (and apache, for kicks) -- Out of interest, did they run up OK ? > So far I was able to compile bash (and apache, for kicks) -- > seems to me that the ATA disks are running in PIO mode, even though > I can't explicitly see it (atacontrol doesn't say anything special), > I see 85-95% interrupts when untarring something with many files. The hint is in the boot message: ad0: ... at ata0-master BIOSPIO where on a PC it would be "ata0-master UDMA100". DMA on macio ata devices uses the DBDMA dma controller, which is nothing like Intel PIIX-style Ultra-DMA. Getting dma working is on the TODO list. > I tried to build world on my x86 machine last night (5.2-BETA), > and IT panic'ed in the middle of compiling some PPC code :-( ! later, Peter.
