I bought one too with a similar intent, though I really needed a machine to use too. ;-) > Nope - I tried a lot of different settings resulting all in a > kernel-panic. =8-( > Last I see is something concerning NET 4. I had similar problems too, but I don't remember what config I used.

I am using the precompiled ibook kernels from ibooklinux.net, and they work fine. The 2.4.18-ben0 from there (or ppckernel.org, which I think is the same thing) works just fine for me. I think the config file is available there too. > Despite that, there seems to be a problem in recognizing the > ethernet-card correctly with my config.

I think Ben's tree has the GMAC driver, though the netinst ISO from cdimage.debian.org which uses 2.2.20 also detected my ethernet fine and everything worked great. viral -- http://www.mayin.org/~gandalf I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon.
