Hi,
I just compiled 2.4.7pre6 from Ben's tree, and another one from bk, with
the same results. It compiled without any problems, but I can't have
accelerated video. I use "video=imsttfb:vmode:17,cmode:16 video=ofonly"
as kernel args to have a working unaccelerated video. Without ofonly, I
get some blue dots forming a very distortioned screen of what should be
there (linux logo and kernel verbosity). Without the imsttfb part, it
won't work after the initial boot screen: it stops after
pmac_init(): exit
id_mach(): done
MMU: enter
MMU: hw init
hash: enter
hash: find peice

MMU: mapin

Here is some details:

What could be wrong?
