I had a bit of an accident with my old PowerMac G4 which had been running FreeBSD-10.4. To fix the mess I had to boot the system from a CD image. So, I decided to try 11.1 while at it. To my astonishment and disappointment the 11.1 images (both CD and DVD) paniced very early on during the boot. The messages flashed past the screen so quickly that I cannot be really sure about anything, but it kind of seemed like the issue might be yet another installment of the SPRG related problems (in ofw_machdep.c) which have been troubling ppc64 systems before. The 10.4 CD image boots just fine on ppc. --jau _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
