Ok, will do that.


Umm, reminds me - do you get interrupts from snapper? It should list
three - one of input, one for output and one for status changes ( like
(un)plugging headphones, errors etc. )

I tried to plug in headphones, but no interrupt was caused.

Do you see interrupts when reading or writing to /dev/audio?
The cardbus problem looks a bit like missing interrupts as well - you should at the very least see an interrupt when inserting a card, even if it doesn't attach. Leaves the question what could cause /that/ - as far as I can see you have a bog standard UniNorth OpenPIC which works just fine in countless other machines. Wouldn't be the first time that Apple at some point introduced variants that need special handling somewhere.

Something completely different - a fairly recent ofwboot.xcf ( from 5.99.29 ) Just Works(tm) on my beige G3 ( with OF patches from an OSX CD it would happily boot a NetBSD install CD ), to my utter surprise. These machines had to be installed via floppy or network thanks to OF bugs.

have fun
