Hi,

I'm booting an old -current (from 18-Jan) and trying to compile and boot a
new -current kernel, but it's not working. First, I get this when I try to
make depends:

depending the kern library objects
mkdep -a -D_LOCORE -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/arch/powerpc -Dmacppc
-I../../. -I../../../../../../arch -I../../../../../.. -nostdinc -DLKM
-DDIAGNOSTIC -DZS_CONSOLE_ABORT -DMAXUSERS=32 -D_KERNEL -D_KERNEL_OPT
-traditional-cpp ../../../../../../lib/libkern/arch/powerpc/ffs.S
../../../../../../lib/libkern/arch/powerpc/strlen.S
../../../../../../lib/libkern/arch/powerpc/bzero.S
../../../../../../lib/libkern/arch/powerpc/bzero.S:33: assym.h: No such
file or directory
mkdep: compile failed.
*** Error code 1

(Wasn't this fixed ages ago?) So I stick in assym.h manually and compile.

Now, even when I compile GENERIC with no other options, I get this when I
try to boot:

OF_open bootpath=scsi-int/sd@0
read stage 2 blocks: 01234567. done!
starting stage 2...

>> NetBSD/macppc OpenFirmware Boot, Revision 1.7
>> (autobuild@tgm.daemon.org, Mon Jan 13 06:11:06 UTC 2003)
no active package6760360DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700

I've tried putting in the old 200 MHz 604e; it's not because of the new
CPU card.

Is this part of the reason we don't see any recent -current snapshots on
releng? Even when 1.6.1 wasn't holding things up, there haven't been any
macppc snapshots...

Ideas?
