Hello * I got an iBook G4 a few days ago and I'm trying to install a Debian GNU/Linux on this machine. The base installation was ok, but now I'm getting troubles with the compilation of a new full-options kernel for this machine. For this purpose I'm obviously using a benh-kernel-version. With a 2.4.x family the result is a blank console on boot (but the framebuffer is in the kernel), with the 2.6 family the result is an unmountable root device (but the support for chipset/filesystem is in my kernel!); so at this time any attempt to run X is just dreaming :) perhaps there's a silly mistake somewhere because I heard about running machine with self-compiled kernel, anyway if someone could post somewhere a .config (indicating the kernel family) for a running iBook G4 machine or much better a debian package with a running kernel-image it would a very good news for me: I'm not a good nerd :) but I'd like to use a Debian distro anyway :)
Thanks in advance Luca
