blocking boot on powerbook G4

[rayman]

on powerbook G4 without Hard drive and a USB flash drive with haiku image ( hrev32480 ) blocking boot after partition detect.

see screenshot attached

It looks like we are locking up calling of_path here. Not sure why of_path would be locking up as its fairly basic.

[kallisti5]

sorry, function is of_open(path) not of_path.

boot/platform/openfirmware/network.cpp: fHandle = of_open(device); boot/platform/openfirmware/devices.cpp: int kernel = of_open(name); boot/platform/openfirmware/devices.cpp: int handle = of_open(sBootPath); boot/platform/openfirmware/devices.cpp: int handle = of_open(path); kernel/arch/ppc/arch_platform.cpp: fRTC = of_open(kernelArgs->platform_args.rtc_path); kernel/platform/openfirmware/openfirmware.c:of_open(const char *nodeName)

of_open calls gCallOpenFirmware... where the heck is gCallOpenFirmware defined?

Sorry for the last post.. freaking trac. If any trac admins see the last post.. feel free to delete it :)

Mailing list answered that FYI:

src/system/kernel/arch/ppc/arch_platform.cpp initializes that via

status_t
PPCOpenFirmware::Init(struct kernel_args *kernelArgs)
{
        return of_init(
                (int(*)(void*))kernelArgs->platform_args.openfirmware_entry);
}

HTH,
Rene

Thanks Rene!

hey rayman, a quick note.

Booting off of a Haiku PPC root image on a USB drive works on my G4 Quicksilver, but does not work at all on my G3 (not detected). If possible, please try burning the Haiku root image to a cd and booting from the bootloader via tftp (instructions here: ​http://unixzen.com/index.php?blog/category/Haiku-Dev.html) and let us know the results.

Thanks!

[rayman]

hi kallisti5,

no problem, just time to reconfigure the tftpd on dano and boot powerbook with your instructions .... good for tftpboot ... but no for CD ... see last picture ... I had not put second test with usb drive because it's same result.

(In #5160) This appears to be a duplicate of #4385. of_open does not return.
