My bad, if I skip messages in my linuxppc-dev mailbox. I'm not quite sure whether this is the cure: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=7231 But I'll probably test that in the next few days ... > > [ ... ] > > > > The tibook is on AC, battery removed, and this is what it tells me: > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > > $ cat /proc/pmu/info > > PMU driver version : 2 > > PMU firmware version : 0c > > AC Power : 0 > > Battery count : 1 > > [...] > > > But the debian packages versions on both machines differ. > > As you'll note above, the kernel on the TiBook also thinks there is a > battery but no AC, so the difference indeed seems to be in the boot > scripts. Perhaps it might be a good idea to suggest some change for the script(s?) triggering fsck on boot time, via a wish-list bug report. Some entry in a new file like 'fsck', or whatever, in /etc/default, where a user could set to force the check no matter whether AC or battery is feeding the machine ... That is, even if the kernel behaves well: if there was a crash users had when the machine was on AC, and if they reboot the machine next time only with the battery as power supply, and without AC, fsck should be run ... There are probably lots of other situations where always forcing the check might be a good idea ... Anything I missed? Provided that no: Anyone willing to wish-list that? :) If someone does, please CC this list (or at least me) so I don't have to do that ... :) Michel: Thanks: With your knowledge and my persistence we'll get that issue straight ... :) Best Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer: /ICQ: 286585973/ + + + /AIM: crashinglinux/ http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer Key ID: E3037113 http://keyserver.mine.nu/pks/lookup?search=0xE3037113&fingerprint=on -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
