| | | | bplan has finally released the awaited OpenFirmware update for the Pegasos II. Among the new features are via-rhine netboot, Linux memory problem fixed, RTAS support (software halt and reboot) and DRI should now work with most Radeon cards in GNU/Linux.
The update can be downloaded from http://www.bplan-gmbh.de/update05042004_e.html.
Do not try to install this on a Pegasos I as it will break it.

/proc/cpuinfo seems to generate correct output now:
processor : 0
cpu : 7457, altivec supported
clock : 999MHz
revision : 1.1 (pvr 8002 0101)
bogomips : 999.42
machine : CHRP Pegasos2
I'm getting about the same FPS with glxgears on my Radeon 9100 as before the update. Hopefully the random crashes will be fixed though. The memory problems seems to be gone as well, I've assigned MOL 256MBytes of RAM, before the upgrade this would have weird effects on the system almost immediately.
A million thanks to bplan.

RTAS seems to be working properly as my system just rebooted without user interaction. I also found this nice little thing (haven't tested it):
"cat /proc/rtas/poweron
Power on time not set"
So far the harddrive bootup bug seems gone as well. I powered down my machine and left it off for a couple of seconds then powered back on. With SF 1.0 I had to reboot the machine ones to give the harddrive enough time to initialise, this time I didn't have to.
