X 10.2 on a PowerMac G3 B&W experimental freezes after this.

[MesaBlack]

here's how to replicate it

[joevt]

On my fork, I can boot 10.2 to the installer with the usual graphical glitches.
No HD connected.
CD connected to Ide0.
pci_J12=AtiMach64Gx

I'll get an error if I try to click "Continue". The serial outputs:

The Installer has quit due to an unexpected error. (exit code 0)


Please restart your computer.

That combination (B&W G3 with the install CD) works upstream and on Infinite Mac too: https://infinitemac.org/run?cdrom=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdownload%2Fapple-mac-os-x-10.2.0-build-6c115%2Fdisk1.iso&machine=Power+Macintosh+G3+%28Blue+%26+White%29+-+Experimental

Both @joevt's fork and upstream get stuck in the spinner when booting a 10.2 HD image though (created via QEMU, boots there and mostly boots in DPPC when using the Beige G3). Doing a verbose boot (setenv boot-args -v) shows it getting stuck here:

That's unrelated to DingusPPC, and is due to archive.org (which hosts the 10.2 install CD) occasionally being down. You can reload the page to try again.

It got at the apple logo, and now it got 4 chunk error messages and yep it froze

If you're booting with HD, then you can disable adding CD with cdr_config=

Default HD position is
hdd_config=CmdAta0/@0 You can change that with one of these:
hdd_config=ScsiMesh/@0
hdd_config=Ide0/@0

Each one may have different issues though.

Upstream is unhappy with an empty cdr_config:

dingusppc/devices/common/ata/atapicdrom.cpp

Lines 45 to 50 in bf4ee72

	int AtapiCdrom::device_postinit() {
	std::string cdr_config = GET_STR_PROP("cdr_config");
	if (cdr_config.empty()) {
	LOG_F(ERROR, "%s: cdr_config property is empty", this->name.c_str());
	return -1;
	}

I instead disabled the AtapiCdrom child device from the Yosemite descriptor, and am able to get the machine to boot past that if I use --hdd_config=Ide0/@0 (similar to the Beige G3 it usually panics at some point). I was not able to get it to work with ScsiMesh/@0 because ScsiMesh is not available as a registered component when the hard drive is initialized (this may be better in your fork).

no chunk errors, but

it froze
