Hi,

So yesterday was kernel upgrade day for testing, it seems. I allowed it since I knew I could have a way-back whatever the odds.

Well, in fact the bug is still there with 2.6.22-2-powerpc: the Apple cinema display is stuck in sleep mode as soon as the kernel boot starts.

As previously, the computer works fine otherwise(although my Win-TV nova usb-2 box is not activated: it seems to be a firmware update problem, I'll try to investigate). It is also possible to make it kind'of work by the use of the option "video=ofonly" at boot time, but it is really non-optimal, since it prevents from using console login, once X11 is started.

I suggest to reclassify this bug as linux-2.6 as a whole since it is not specific to linux-2.6.21 anymore, and it may be a show-stopper for debian on mac-mini users (OK, it's not like there should be more than a few hundreds of us there, but still...).

BTW, would it be possible that the vmlinux.old is not updated when the running kernel is the one actually linked as vmlinux.old ? I mean, if the current running kernel is the "old" one, there could be a reason, and I don't see a case when it would be useful to update the "old" link to a non running kernel. This one is only whishlist, of course. Should I send it as separate bug with a whishlist status ?

Regards,

mata ne
