I downloaded the a iso of -current from a UK mirror. But when booting from this, after showing all the devices as it loads it finally displays the following messages: WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance acd0: WARNING - SETFEATURE SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 try left) acd0: WARNING - SETFEATURE SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 try left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out These messages are then repeated endlessly. Also at the Openfirmware screen, as you suggested I typed: dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0 then: set-dfs-high which the response was: unknown word Have you any idea what this is all about?
