[Pearpc-users] RE: Darwin Kernel Panic when booting Darwin or OSX on Debian

[<mm...@ru...>]

I tried something new that might provide some more evidence. I checked ou=
t
a fresh copy of the trunk from CVS. First, I built for the JITC cpu, and
got the kernel panic. I then did a make clean and rebuilt using generic.
This build works perfectly (though slowly, of course).

So this tells me that my disk image and config file are ok. Does anyone
have any suggestions for how I can get the JITC to work? Is there maybe
a problem running the JITC on the Athlon XP?

Thanks,
Marc
