I never (knocking on wood :) saw that with this version (seen via 'git describe'): v2.6.25-rc3-81-g7704a8b It works both on a Powerbook5,8 and on an old TiBook - and the version above has an additional patch applied. The patch - from Ben - is here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?order=state&id=17107 This kernel works like a charm here since about 4 weeks on a PowerBook5,8 and, since a few days, on the tibook. Both computers with a - in the meantime - relatively fresh unstable system. I've uploaded this kernel quite some time ago to rapidshare: <http://rapidshare.com/files/96992135/linux-image-2.6.25-rc3-g7704a8b-with-ben.s-pmu-patch_2008.02.29_powerpc.deb.html> md5sum: 7a7613e0c52e179acf7caacaa3890901 Please have a look at the .config before installing - this kernel is heavily modularized. My /etc/modules file (I believe lm75 is useless in there - might be worth to be removed from it ... :): ---------------------------------- # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored. apm_emu ide-cd #ide-disk #ide-generic sbp2 i2c-powermac #snd-powermac #snd-aoa: #soundbus #i2sbus #snd-aoa #snd-aoa-fabric-layout #snd-aoa-codec-onyx # End snd-aoa cpufreq_performance cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_ondemand sr_mod therm_adt746x limit_adjust=-3 lm75 ---------------------------------- IIRC: Please note that dpkg upon install might complain about a missing source dir (linked to from /lib/modules) - at least on the tibook - where this dir is missing - this wasn't a problem ..)
