[I finally have access to old PowerMacs again. The below is based on my environment for experimenting with building via more modern C/C++ compilers with matching toolchains. The build here was via a cross build from amd64 via devel/powerpc64-gcc .] When I attempt to boot the PowerMac G5 "Quad Core" with my head -r339076 build it gets as far a reporting (based on boot -v output): . . . ada0: (I'll not list the 5 ada0: lines) GEOM: new disk cd0 GEOM: new disk ada0 Adding CPU 0, hwref=ff89d680, awake=1 Waking up CPU 1 (dev=ff89eb70) That is the last of the output. After a while the fans wind up. (The text is hand translated from a picture of the screen.) Without the "boot -v" the "ada0:" lines are the last to show. The build is a non-debug build (with symbols). I've not tried a debug kernel build yet. It may be a while before I will get to. Nor have I tried a gcc 4.2.1 based build yet. At this point I do not have a clue what is going on. This early in the boot I'm not sure how or if I'll get a clue. (I've never had serial console access on the old PowerMac's, which contributes to the messy context.) I do have in place in the variation used of src.conf: LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th The PowerMac G5 used does boot fine with the boot disk I had experimented with back in May (or before). === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
