Unfortunatelly, there seem to be some - bugs in this distribution: I did select the minimal installation, - then it forgot the "hfsutils" package and so yaboot did not install itself. -* NetBSD: - - 1.5.2 fails to boot. - - 1.6.1, 1.6.2 & 2.0 boot-loader loads but stops - (missing available memory property). -* OpenBSD: - - boot-loader cannot run because it's a gzipped ELF file. - (tried 3.4, 3.5 & 3.6 macppc CDROMs). -* Darwin: - - Darwin 7.01 and gnuDarwin 2.3 beta dont run: boot-loader crashes: - seems to rely on special values in registers (or entry point is false...). - looks like Mach-O embedded in XCOFF (?). - - Darwin 6.02 and OpenDarwin 6.6.1, 6.6.2 & 20030212 load - but seem not to like the OF tree as it's shown then crash. - - Darwin 1.41, MacOS X 10.2 & gnuDarwin 2.3 boot - but fail to mount the boot device. Seems related to the OF tree. - - gnuDarwin 7.01 does not boot at all (cannot find the boot file). - - OpenDarwin 7.2.1 does not boot (no boot partition found). -* MacOS: - - Mac OS X 10.2: fails to mount its root device. - - Mac OS X 10.3 crashes: - seems to try to use Altivec instructions. As my CDROM is one for G5, - this may be normal. - - Mac OS 9.2 installation CDROM starts to load then crashes. - - Ibook Restore CDROM loads & starts booting but crashes - - Ibook OS Restore CDROM does not boot (Mac OS X 10.2): - does not find any boot partition. - - Ibook hw check CDROM boots but crashes: - boot loader need its relocations to be resolved by OHW. - - IMac G5 hw check CDROM does not boot: - OHW is unable to find any boot file in the boot directory. -* BeOS: - - not tested for now. Should not load, as fs may be ISOFS. - -PREP emulation: -* Linux: - XXX: to be completed -* Windows NT 4: - - XCoff file loader merges to be done for Microsoft format to be understood. -* AIX: - - The PREP boot image is well located at startup but it seems there are - "magic" values to put in registers. Then, for now, it crashes. - Seeking for informations about this executable format (starting with - "AIXM"). - Tested 4.3.3 and 5.1. I don't even know if they would run on a real PREP ;-) - -CHRP emulation: - TODO (no support in qemu). - -MVME emulation: - TODO (no support in qemu). - -Pegasos emulation: - TODO (no support in qemu). - -=============================================================================== - -Known problems: - ---- -RedHat make 3.79 is fully buggy. You may have several problems trying to build -OpenHackWare using it. You'd better update to make 3.80 or recompile it from -regular sources (ie not RedHat sources). Please don't complain if you aren't -able to build the BIOS using this package. - -=============================================================================== |
