I've managed to get a bootable system on my powermac g5. Not enabling DRM in the kernel gets me to the login prompt. If I do try and compile xorg-server, I get some errors complaining about some dri lib.

If I compile DRM support into my kernel, the system boots and then the screen blacks out. Not sure if its frozen, but I get no response.

Remove DRM support, and I am back to the login prompt.

I have two ATI Radeon cards, Radeon 9600 (RV350) and Radeon 9200 (RV280). I believe I am using the 9600.

Here is my lspci:

The pastebin to my kernel, with enabling DRM, that does not work:

Any direction would be appreciated.

I believe with DRM not enabled, when I try and Xorg -configure, here is the pastebin of my Xorg.0.log

One also comment, which may be related or not..

When I compile my kernel I get the warning:
Code:

<stdin>:1523:2: warning: #warning syscall recvmmsg not implemented


and it complains:
Code:

WARNING: modpost: Found 6 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
`make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y`

I managed to get another machine and was able to ping my machine. So it is not actually frozen. Is this an issue with the framebuffer and DRM?

The point at which the screen blacks out is when it is processing uevents.

Code:
#
[   180.253] (II) [KMS] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol, no kernel modesetting.
#
[   180.260] Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
#
  Configuration failed.

This is the point, Xorg see that KMS is not active. Your kernel configuration may have problems. Have you pass the boot kernel parameter
Code:
radeon.modeset=1

You may also want to make sure that frame buffer consoles are statically compiled in or you may end up with it looking like nothing works when everything is otherwise fine. if you want to test it over ssh while it's a module, do modprobe fbcon and things should just magically work. i just spent a bit of time finding that out.

Thanks simpcop2387. I realized that the machine was up, by ssh'ing into the box. Haven't worked on it in a while, but will try your suggestion.
