Hi Peter. :D Maybe I'm confussed because there are a few post about this problem.

My mac is a G5 late 2005, with: # lspci | grep -i vga 0000:0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev a2) root@debian:~# uname -a Linux debian 3.16.0-4-powerpc64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3 (2015-08-04) ppc64 GNU/Linux > As promised, above is a Google Drive link for a 64 Bit G5 Powermac > 3.18.16 kernel and headers deb packages for Debian Jessie. > This kernel is based off the default Debian Jessie kernel config, but > basically optimised for G5 processors, with 4kb kernel pagesize and MSI > interrupts disabled.

(...) root@debian:~# cat /proc/interrupts | grep nouveau 26: 1 0 MPIC-U3MSI 9 Edge nouveau Thant seems ok, isn't it? root@debian:~# getconf PAGESIZE 65536 and here comes my problems. This has to be 4kb if I'm correct. So if you packed it correctly why I'm getting this values?... is what I'm wondering to myself. I can't figure out. on the other hand noveau is complaining about rom, so I suspect that I will need to do the trick: put the i386 video rom and load it by hand.

I need to compile the sources by hand or need to place the sources for running you kernel. Please tell me the trick, I just want to tranform the big metal junk over my table in a running computer. Thanks a lot :D -- "El cielo es para los dragones lo que el agua es para las ninfas"
