Just upgraded my kernel to 2.2.17pre11 (from 2.2.17pre5) and my sawtooth now longer gets my console going. I can ssh inn from another machine after it has booted, but the display just shows the initial screen 'Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.2.17 [...] booting...'
My dmesg contains this line: Jul 18 20:21:38 mu kernel: atyfb: Unknown mach64 0x0001 Did someone forget to include aty128fb when they compiled the kernel, or can I do some tricks with yaboot.conf (or something else) to enable the aty128fb driver? Anyways; how do I downgrade to 2.2.17pre5 again? (I'm new to debian and dselect). On a more general note I can say that I'm currently running the G4 as my primary workstation, and it's working quite well. Never got more than 7 days uptime due to problems with nfs[1] (guess I should report that somewhere to), but I'm satisfied none the less. No more wintel (the first bit has been gone for years :-). Thanks, (bo) [1] Jul 17 16:46:04 mu kernel: nfs: task 64808 can't get a request slot
