What's missing from CVS (I need to get some time to commit it all) is the interrupt handling and device code. I've got drivers for the UniNorth host-pci bridge and the OpenPIC interrupt controller that haven't been committed yet. Once they're in, you should be able to configure up a kernel with the gem driver which will drive the GMAC ethernet chip that's in most current models. I'm booting over the net, not from CD. CD would require ATA and ATA requires a driver for the macio chip which isn't finished yet, and an attachment to macio for the ata driver, which also isn't there yet. =) Note that I'm having a problem with the GMAC with a 10/100/1000 PHY not sending frames correctly at the moment. I'm looking in to that. GMAC with a 10/100 PHY is working fine. > Although not a kernel hacker, I wouldn't mind taking a look just to poke > around (we all gotta start somehow). Go for it! That's how I got started. =) -- Benno Rice benno@FreeBSD.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA9IPPKXjRwWofFmQkRAr10AJ96su7VuJ0jq4/mWfQbnoZJBvEYtgCaAxSg v/7iYp1GXTsig/VC3Ooi/Iw= =IJ91 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
