I have written and verified several files now, including an almost 2 meg
kernel image. No problems so far. Even the problems when overwriting big files
seem to be gone in 2.4 as well :)


The strange behaviour I experienced seems to be due to debug=mem! Removing
that one made it boot. Any idea what broke that?


However, pm2fb only works with an old boothack (I use 990106). With the latest
one, dmesg output starts like this:

parse_bootinfo: unknown tag 0x8008 ignored
parse_bootinfo: unknown tag 0x8009 ignored

I take it 2.4 isn't adapted to the latest boothack yet.

Also, with the latest boothack, these lines appear:

nhandled interrupt 18, disabled
amiga_disable_irq: Trying to disable auto-vector IRQ 0
Unhandled interrupt 18, disabled

The last one is then repeated from time to time.


And also this line caught my eye:

amiga_insert_irq: Warning: dev_id of fb vertb handler is zero

it appears with both boothacks, before amifb is initialized. I attach
/proc/interrupts, hoping it's helpful.


Otherwise everything seems to be working fine, which is exciting!

PS: I can still hang the machine with 'cat /proc/iomem' ...
