I'm running Debian on my PowerMac G5 2x2.5GHz since at least four years and I notice the same problems. I would like to know if someone else have the same issues and if there is a fix for them at all. They are hardware-independent - in the sense that I had two similar machines with the same issues.
1. suspend/hibernate does not work really: I get after a while just a locked desktop. I remember well, I read somewhere that suspend/hibernate does not work on powerpc. Is it true? I think it works on PowerPC Laptop, why not on Desktop? 2. Restart works ok, but shutdown does not work properly (from gnome or from terminal). The last messages I get are: [1990.045234] Disabling non-boot CPUs [1990.053558] Cannot set affinity for irq 16 I must then press the power button. If I wait longer, the fans start to be quite loud (again I had this problem also with another similar PowerMac G5) 3. Last problem: I can watch .avi files, but doesn't matter which player I do use, it happens that the movie stops, I can't access my desktop anymore, but the audio is still on... I had a look on various logs, but I did not find anything interesting I made a post about this problem a couple of years ago on the Debian User Forums, but I never got a reply http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32956&p=188978#p188978 I would be very grateful for any answer or suggestion! tiresia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
