ok.

All you need for a macppc kernel is arch/macppc and
arch/powerpc - 
plenty of files were moved, added or deleted so you better
clean out 
OBJ and such.

Hmm, no such problems here.

Not really.

Not without some hacking - macppc relies on the firmware to
tell it 
what's the console.

I found something very strange - I get gem timeouts with the
snapper 
driver removed but it works fine when snapper attaches. No
idea why 
exactly, the driver doesn't touch any of uninorth's power or
clock 
enable registers as far as I can see, only enables the i2s
clock which 
is part of mac-io and shouldn't have anything to do with
gem. Will 
investigate further.

have fun
Michael

I don't get to work on this often, so I mis-remembered just
what
failed.  It was 'disklabel' while building tools.  In brief,
I update
all sources to -current, update sys/arch to
"ppcoea-renovation" and
then build.

The gory details are at:

     http://b
obdbob.com/~jdbaker/ppctoolsfail.txt

(Caution:  long lines!)

This happens building both macppc and prep.

As I mentioned before, if I update only
sys/arch/[a-oq-z]*ppc,
sys/arch/powerpc, sys/arch/bebox, sys/arch/prep to the
"ppcoea-
renovation" tag, leaving sys/arch/pmppc at
"-current" so it sticks
around, building everything I'm interested in (short of
"release"
on macppc) works, but macppc GENERIC kernel is having
problems at
runtime as described previously.

I went looking for these before but couldn't find anyone
admitting
they had any available until seeing this link.  I'll have to
see if
they have the versions for B&W G3 and iMac, since those
are the
machines I own (but don't have handy).  The G4 is not mine,
I just
have it to play with for now, so I can't really justify
spending my
own money on it.
