The driver will not work with the 040 PB500 because the 16 bit Sonic support somehow got lost in the 2.4 kernel sources. One needs to either port the Sonic driver (sonic.c, sonic.h) from the mac m68k 2.2 kernel patches or from the 2.6 kernel sources that it has already been ported to. I think porting from the 2.2 patches will be easier. I found only one patchset (made by you?) that contains the 16 bit Sonic patches: http://ftp.cesnet.cz/MIRRORS/linux-mac68k.sourceforge.net/pub/linux- mac68k/kernels/ray/patch-mac68k-2.2.17 > > By the way the my 2300 boots just fine with your kernels with media bay > support. I disabled TREX, SCSI and media bay now for the 2300 in the kernels I compiled for Carlos. Does the 2300 really lack an external SCSI port? Can one really choose between SCSI and IDE for internal hard disks? > I believe the problem with the PB500 is that it does not have > any IDE port. The problem was that is doesn't have the Baboon chip at all. The Baboon is the IDE and media bay controller and it also serves as an interrupt controller for the devices it controls. So I had my interrupt handling patches to take care not to look for the Baboon on a PB500. I also disabled the TREX PCMCIA controller - I don't know if the PCMCIA module for the PB500 will work with the TREX driver. > I'm hoping to have some time to get the some of the Docks > to work with my 2300 soon.
