hi there, well, besides the lack of an Xserver yet, i am setting up my system according to: http://seb.france.free.fr/linux/ibookG4/iBookG4-howto.html http://www.twolife.org/debian/ibook.php but i am getting nowhere fast.
i have installed the latest kernel image from here http://twolife.free.fr/vrac/ibook/kernel-image-2.6.7_1_powerpc.deb and also tried everything using debian's 2.6.6-powerpc kernel. 1 - powernowd does not work! with cpu frequency stuff all built into the 2.6.7 kernel, the modules loaded for 2.6.6 and sysfs mounted correctly... the folder /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 is completely empty! no sub folders... nothing! 2 - pbbuttonsd fails with the following: Setting up pbbuttonsd (0.5.9-1) ... Starting pbbuttonsd: invoke-rc.d: initscript pbbuttonsd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing pbbuttonsd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 12 Errors were encountered while processing: pbbuttonsd 3 - british keymaps are wrong. but i'll get this sorted out soon. 4 - i still can't get X started! and worse yet, it takes my system with it when it fails, so i have to force a reset. is anybody else having any joy with installing on a recent iBook? is my system just totally shafted? help!
