So… I installed Wheezy on the G5 and immediately did a dist-upgrade to Jessie. This time it boots without incident. With Jessie installed this way, it doesn’t go into “leaf-blower” mode. In case it helps, here’s a sample from the output of “lsmod” — root@bigal:~# lsmod | grep i2c i2c_algo_bit 7980 1 nouveau root@bigal:~# lsmod | grep wind windfarm_cpufreq_clamp 2781 1 windfarm_smu_sensors 6735 1 windfarm_smu_controls 7094 7 windfarm_pm112 13304 0 windfarm_pid 2683 1 windfarm_pm112 windfarm_max6690_sensor 3455 1 windfarm_lm75_sensor 3989 1 windfarm_smu_sat 7056 5 windfarm_pm112 windfarm_core 11593 7 windfarm_cpufreq_clamp,windfarm_pm112,windfarm_smu_sensors,windfarm_smu_sat,windfarm_lm75_sensor,windfarm_max6690_sensor,windfarm_smu_controls Does this help? Rick PS: If you’re interested in chasing down the “IPv4 dhcp doesn’t work” problem, I can provide logs from both the G5 dhcp client and the dhcp server (using dnsmasq). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
