Hi, I've lurked on this list since purchasing my iBook 2.2 (12.1"/800mhz), and thought I'd post my experiences with Ben's latest kernel (ben9).
I'd been running ben2 for quite a while, then decided to try out ben9 a couple of days ago. Everything was dandy until I put the 'book to sleep. When I attempted to wake it up, the display was dark. I rebooted it manually and it booted directly into Mac OS X, but with no display (I was able to SSH into the box). So... I rebooted and zapped the PRAM and it booted fine into Linux (like normal). About an hour later I noticed some severe corruption of my display, and the system froze completely. Thinking that it was just a kernel problem, I zapped the PRAM again. I reverted to my previous 2.4.20-ben2 kernel, hoping to cure the madness. However, after a few minutes of use, I got the same display corruption and the system froze completely. Zapped the PRAM again and booted into Mac OS X - same situation. After about 20 minutes of light use, the system froze and the display was corrupted. So, any ideas? Thanks, John
