Hi all, sorry for the delayed reply, thanks first of all for the interest and time. I'm totally swamped with work this week, so will be a bit passive, but it seems we identified a specific type of Ibook G4, revision 1.1. Sleep works on revision 1.2 but not on ours. I also am ready and willing to try any patched kernel that could get this machine to sleep.
On the Ubutnu list here's what's been done up to now: "hey guys, While I'm looking around in an attempt to build the kernel 2.6.12-rc2 from http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ I found a site that claims to have the same ibook that we have and claims he has sleep working. He says we have to build a 2.6.11 kernel and apply a particular patch. http://www.aronchi.org/LinuxOnIBookG4 " If you go to the http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic....ight=benh+patch that is linked from the above site, you'll realize that you'll see that the gentoo 2.6.11 sources probibly have the patch applied, so you start there if you know where to get it. About that gentoo howTo, I posted a question as to where the gentoo 2.6.11 is available and what version he used. The gentoo version of 2.6.11 might be important since the linked gentoo forum suggested that the 2.6.11 was patched." Well that's where things stand at the moment... Any suggestions welcome, otherwise I'll have to by a second Ibook... ; ) Eric P ps I can't send stuff top the Debian PPC list... doesn't get their, though I'm a registered user of the list... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
