Hello,

now that I have a beige G3 to play with I can actually check
out some 
more PRs.
Things I've noticed so far ( all with -current ):
- - IDE DMA doesn't work at all it seems. With DMA enabled
the driver 
will complain about lost interrupts and ultimately panic
and/or mess up 
your disk. Is that just me?
- - a (broken?) Apple IDE CDROM made the kernel hang when
trying to probe 
IDE ports, funny enough it probed ide1 first. Unplugging the
drive or 
replacing it with a bog standard one helped.
- - I'm getting random SIGILL when there's paging
activity. Only on 
Grackle-equipped machines, I was unable to reproduce it on
an iBook G4 
or a UMAX S900 while it did happen on a beige G3 and a 1st
generation 
iMac. Ideas? Can anyone confirm this?
- - bm ethernet is dog slow, even with thorpej's patch
applied.
- - onboard video works fine with both machfb and XFree86
- - onboard sound ( obio/davbus ) doesn't work - 'plays'
too fast but no 
output

So, can anyone confirm any of these issues?

have fun
Michael
