Hmm. I double check later today when I'm back home. Will rebuild a new kernel for you to test with instructions on how to update your USB stick..
Can you download this new kernel:
Download Me.
Rename the downloaded
vmlinuz-tg3 to
vmlinuz.
And replace your USB's file
/casper/vmlinuz with the file you've downloaded. Now boot the USB and see how it goes.

Thanks. I do not think it helped, or I must be doing something wrong.
On the Live USB stick (USB1) I replaced the
vmlinuz file with the new one. Then I used USB1 to install Snakeoil on another USB stick (USB2). Wehen I boot Snakeoil from USB2 I get the same issue: no network configuration is found and it starts without IP address.
For me not a real problem as I am using Snakeoil now on a fanless PC. Running it on a mac was just for testing.
Anyway, thanks a lot for trying to make this work!
My new development machine is also ready now. Hopefully will resolve this soon, gotta support Macs. [emoji14]

Did this ever go anywhere? I have a Mac Mini I would like to try it on. I was hoping though to not be the first to try it.

Havn't done much on Macs (since I don't have one). If you have a Mac Mini, let me know how it goes, and where the boot fails, so I can build a kernel that will work with Macs.

I ran off the USB stick and did these two tests. Does this look good to you?

Mac Minis use Xeon CPUs?
Can you run
and see if your Tigon3 network card shows up?
And also
and see if it can recognise all your block devices (i.e. SSD/HDD).
