Re: How to build a current kernel for a PMac 7600

I too would like to thank Markus Hitter for the cookbook. Great job.

Like Rob I had difficulty with missing definitions found in
osfmk/ppc/exception.h.

It appears as if the level-2 instruction cache page fault (pfL2i,
pfL2ib) and the level-3 page faults (pfL3, pfL3b, pfL3a, pfL3ab) have
not been defined. This seems to be something needed to support the new
PowerMac G4 systems. If I remember correctly they include 256KB L2 and
1MB of L3 (backside) cache. Is the building of this mach_kernel going
to result in a kernel that can boot the new systems?

Have I guessed wrong?

Can you push the new exception.h into the CVS tree so that I can
continue to build the kernel?

Am I really that far off ? ;^)

TIA!
