The booting of the Haiku kernel is now successful due to the awesome PPC patches by Andreas Färber. Although the kernel skips to the kdebug prompt pretty quickly, it is at least in memory and running which means troubleshooting PowerPC arch issues is now easier. I think this is the first time in 2+ years the PPC kernel has seen the light of day. Keep in mind this does not mean you will see a working Haiku-PowerPC desktop anytime soon.. it just means that debugging is that much easier. :) The PowerPC Kernel can now be completely booted via the network on real hardware by using the remote_disk functionality (the code was already there thanks to Ingo? but not documented). I've added the steps to getting PowerPC booted over the network to my Haiku-PowerPC page here: http://unixzen.com/guides/haiku/haiku-powerpc/ Before ending this email I should note that PPC is a very small portion of Haiku, x86 is the main darling of the project and am in no way saying that everyone should drop what they are doing and start working on PowerPC stuff... although that would be nice :P Carry On. -- Alex
