I'm using a Rage 128 Pro, but theoretically it would work, given the Radeon shares the common platform :\ I'll grab the latest ofw_syscons.c - does it depend on any other kernel stuff that's not in 7-STABLE that you know of? > > Is ATA DMA suitable for everyday use yet?

( I know the kernel strips out insane flags ) - if I set CPUTYPE to 7400 i _will_ get an inoperable kernel because gcc WILL assume altivec ... i need to either force -mno-altivec or use a lower cputype like 750 (G3) .... mmmm ... --=-f1lZCpEXFBY4Kh3uGlDh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkmQR1AACgkQRtTtv0BbTe4K2ACeL8lav/msnL1rYTQXb1lh67MR xR8AnRqaHqpkOeBGSablgbigKfiK50mE =0G64 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-f1lZCpEXFBY4Kh3uGlDh--
