OK, I got 2.6.12-rc3 to try to get the sound working but no joy. Anyway, some info...
I have a powermac G5, dual 1.8 (first tower) and I compliled 2.6.12-rc3 without SMU i.e # CONFIG_PMAC_SMU is not set. I'm also using 32 bit ppc and not ppc64. I'm running gentoo. modprobe snd-powermac gives in /var/log/messages: Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:1037: cannot find device audio-hw-reset Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:1037: cannot find device amp-mute Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:1037: cannot find device headphone-mute Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:1037: cannot find device line-output-mute Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:1037: cannot find device headphone-detect Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:1037: cannot find device line-output-detect Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:369: failed to set DRC Apr 29 01:10:33 linux ALSA sound/ppc/tumbler.c:232: failed to set volume Apr 29 01:10:34 linux ALSA sound/ppc/keywest.c:122: tumbler: -6 :cannot initialize the MCS running alsamixer gives: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device lsmod gives at this stage: Module Size Used by snd_powermac 41796 0 snd_pcm 106888 1 snd_powermac snd_timer 26632 1 snd_pcm snd 61848 3 snd_powermac,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9160 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9348 1 snd_pcm ipt_LOG 8452 10 ipt_limit 2564 1 ipt_state 1920 17 ip_conntrack_ftp 72668 0 ip_conntrack 58012 2 ipt_state,ip_conntrack_ftp iptable_filter 2816 1 ip_tables 26112 4 ipt_LOG,ipt_limit,ipt_state,iptable_filter eth1394 20488 0 ohci1394 36660 0 ieee1394 421144 2 eth1394,ohci1394 usblp 13696 0 /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 cpu : PPC970, altivec supported clock : 1800MHz revision : 2.2 (pvr 0039 0202) bogomips : 1200.12 processor : 1 cpu : PPC970, altivec supported clock : 1800MHz revision : 2.2 (pvr 0039 0202) bogomips : 1200.12 total bogomips : 2400.25 machine : PowerMac7,2 motherboard : PowerMac7,2 MacRISC4 Power Macintosh detected as : 336 (PowerMac G5) pmac flags : 00000000 L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 0MB pmac-generation : NewWorld lspci: 0000:f0:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc.

I get flickering. It works fine for with a 2.6.9 kernel. Any hints welcome (btw I have xorg 6.8.2). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
