I have a dual CPU grey-green tower Mac which i was under the impression was a G4. I'm having issues running the G4 flavor of kernel 2.6 cat /proc/cpuinfo returns processor : 0 cpu : 7400, altivec supported temperature : 31-33 C (uncalibrated) clock : 450MHz revision : 2.9 (pvr 000c 0209) bogomips : 894.97
processor : 1 cpu : 7400, altivec supported temperature : 39-41 C (uncalibrated) clock : 450MHz revision : 2.9 (pvr 000c 0209) bogomips : 894.97 total bogomips : 1789.95 machine : PowerMac3,3 motherboard : PowerMac3,3 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 65 (PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics) pmac flags : 00000004 L2 cache : 1024K unified memory : 256MB pmac-generation : NewWorld Anyways i tried running kernel-image-g4-smp and it froze right after loading the initrd. I then tried kernel-image-powerpc-smp which works great. I'm wondering what is the difference between the two kernel-images and why does the G4 image not work for me? Also what are the advantages gained by running a g3 or g4 kernel as opposed to vanilla powerpc?
