MULTIPROCESSOR macppc kernel won't link

I'm trying to compile a MULTIPROCESSOR macppc kernel, -current as of
July 3, and the link fails with:

locore.o: In function `cpu_spinup_trampoline':
/usr/src.local/sys/arch/macppc/macppc/locore.S:(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `sched_lock_idle'
/usr/src.local/sys/arch/macppc/macppc/locore.S:(.text+0xbc): undefined reference to `Idle'
locore.o: In function `cpu_lwp_bootstrap':
/usr/src.local/sys/arch/macppc/macppc/locore.S:(.text+0x3e4): undefined reference to `proc_trampoline_mp'

*** Failed target:  netbsd

It looks like those routines were removed as part of the idlelwp merge,
but I have no idea what the calls to those routines should be replaced
with. Any thoughts?

Help with install on powerbook g3

Hello,

I am trying to install NetBSD onto a Powerbook g3.

I want the OS to boot from the laptop's hard disk.

Here is the powerbook's information:
powerbook g3, 250mhz
open firmware 2.0.1
family number: M4753

I have already installed NetBSD into the machine by netbooting
it.

However I can not seem to get it to boot from the disk now.

Is there some magic proceedure/tool I can use to tell open
firmware to boot this thing?

thanks,

NetBSD on OpenFirmware-less Macintoshes

All,

a few days ago, a Power Macintosh 7100/80 has joined my collection. I have
looked on the web a bit since, to get an idea of what blocks the way to
NetBSD support,a nd I'd like to spawn a (yet another ;) discussion.

Of the two major issues, support for the 601 and the lack of OpenFirmware,
the former seems to come along in arch/powerpc, right? So I concentrated on
looking into hardware support for now.

What came up time and again, is the question whether support for 1st
generation Power Macs should be part of an existing port (macppc, mac68k),
or a new port. At the time, Bill Stouder-Studenmund strongly advocated
integrating Nubus Macs with the macppc port similarly to what happened with
sun3 and sun3x:

<http://groups.google.com/group/sol.lists.netbsd.port.macppc/browse_thread/threa
d/9a1cae1740a3b1c1/896509ba2496e012>

Earlier, Bill had outlined a possible autoconf structure that would serve
both non-OF and OF power Macs:

<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/1998/10/07/0001.html>

While the sun3/sun3x example sounds appealing, the two machine classes
share a lot more than just the cpu (68020 vs. 68030). The macppc port,
OTOH, is closely tied to OpenFirmware support (mainbus already implies
presence of OF), and PCI (obio attaches to pci, not mainbus). 1st
generation Power Macs have neither of the two, and because of their
different configuration mechanism, hardware, interrupt structure are a lot

Examle xf86config file

I just installed netbsd on my 1,25Ghz PPC Mac mini. Can somebody send
me an xf86config file? (since the "Xf86config" command isn't work...)
Thanks: Gyula

Define "doesn't work" please. How exactly does it "not work" ?
Anyway, the Mini has a mobile radeon like most newer iBooks which 
should Just Work. To get a more or less usable XF6Config run XFree86 
-configure as root, it will dump a config file in your home directory, 
named XF86Config.new, you may want to edit it a bit ( stuff like keymap 
etc. )

Unfortunately the radeon driver heavily depends on reading pll 
parameters from the firmware ROM which currently doesn't work on macppc 
( not sure why - either the driver doesn't like OpenFirmware or it 
doesn't find the ROM )
As an ugly workaround you can use the wsfb driver - that will be stuck 
in whatever the console used and won't have acceleration but it should 
at least work.

That's weird - where and how does it crash?

Radeonfb has trouble on R3xx and newer, unfortunately nobody with 
access to such hardware did any debugging work that I'm aware of so far 
( all I have is the RV280 in my iBook G4 which works fine )

ppcoea-renovation kernel builds fail

Has anyone lately tried building any kernel from the "ppcoea-renovation"
branch?

My attempts to build GENERIC fail with:

[...]
/space/nbsd/ppcoea-renovation/src/sys/arch/powerpc/oea/ofw_consinit.c: 
63:17: error: isa.h: No such file or directory
nbmkdep: compile failed.

*** Failed target:  ofw_consinit.d

I've not yet had a chance to go looking for this file.  Any suggestions?
