Hello! I have tried to compile 2.0.31-pre3 with CV3D support, but without CV64 support. This failed: S3_NEW ??? So I have applied the following patch: --- linux-2.0.31-m68k-pre3/arch/m68k/console/fbcon.c.orig Sun Oct 26 19:12:35 1997 +++ linux-2.0.31-m68k-pre3/arch/m68k/console/fbcon.c Wed Oct 29 00:33:52 1997 @@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_ATARI #include #endif -#ifdef CONFIG_FB_CYBER +#if defined(CONFIG_FB_CYBER) || defined(CONFIG_FB_CV3D) #include "../amiga/s3blit.h" #endif And this seems to work. I haven't used the right FB settings, so there was animated garbage on the screen (a new kind of modern art :-) ). Unfortunately, the A4000T SCSI driver doesn't work at all. First the error message when I started Linux without any 53c7xx option: scsi-ncr53c7xx : NCR53c710 at memory 0x80dd0040, io 0x0, irq 12 scsi: Registered size increased by 256 to 9176 scsi: CmdPageStart = 0x20 scsi: tmp = 0x00131014, hostdata->free set to 0x00131020 scsi0: Revision 0x1 scsi0: NCR code relocated to 0x7130648 (virt 0x00130648) request_irq: Incorrect IRQ 12 from 53c7xx scsi0: IRQ 12 not free, detaching You have either a configuration problem, or a broken BIOS. You may wish to manually assign an interrupt to the NCR board rather than using an automatic setting. scsi0: Amiga NCR53c710 SCSI scsi: 1 host scsi0: disabled or bad target 0 lun 0 I must have a broken BIOS :-) No, I haven't inserted removable media. If I use amiboot options 53c7xx=nosync:0,nodisconnect:0, it doesn't run either, a hexdump is printed and that's it. Unfortunately, the 'debug=mem' option doesn't work in this case. I have found several SAVEKMEM cookies in memory, one in CHIP, several in FAST RAM, weird! The only fully working version supporting the A4000T is the patched 2.0.29 kernel. But the 2.1.57 SCSI kernel code works well enough (removable media are ice cake). If someone with an A4000T wants to try out this 2.0.31pre3 kernel, please look at my homepage (URL see below).
