Hi everyone,

I've managed to install YDL on my Umax c-500 by disabling the Newertech
MAXpowr G3-L2B upgrade, but I would like to run with the upgrade working.

The upgrade loads before BootX, and I used the PowerLogix Cache Control to
give the L2CR to Bootx. Before I did that the linux boot process did not get
beyond

  arch: exit

Now it goes farther, but trouble starts with

  Checking Partitions:
  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: hda: lost interrupt

continues with

  scsi: device set offline - command error recover failed: host1 channel0
id0 lun0

This continues up the scsi id chain to id 6. Then, a little later, I get

  adb: starting probe task...
  ds: no socket drivers loaded!

and still later,

  ide_pmac_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_lostirq func only 13
  hda: lost interrupt

which keeps repeating ad infinitum (or until a forced restart.)

On the other hand, things seem to go ok if I disable the MAXpowr upgrade,
except the system doesn't recognize my SMC-9432TX PCI eternet card. I found
an epic100.c for a driver and can probably manage to create an epic100.o,
but then I don't know what to do with it. (I'm pretty new to linux, in case
that's not obvious.)

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Del
