Ì tried rebuilding it, I installed the "fixed" version, and while it doesn't die as badly, it still occasionally cause nautilus to enter a loop where it causes X to eat all CPU (possibly because it queues endless stream of refresh, but that's just a wild guess). Actually, this could be an unrelated new nautilus bug too... Happens randomly. Ben.

I installed the _first_ 10.2.8 update (the one which was removed shortly after being released) and immediately was unable to boot most of my kernels. Not a single 2.6.0-text(1,4,5) kernel would boot anymore (that is what I usually ran).

For problems with the Gentoo live CD I'd try the Gentoo forums or the
gentoo{-ppc,}-user mailing list. See the Gentoo website.
(I can't offer any help sorry - the one I have boots my iBook fine.)
But if you're wanting to install Debian you shouldn't need a Gentoo CD.
:-)
There are several helpful guides to installing both Debian and Gentoo on
PPC on the web, as well as the official guides. These should get you
started, Google will find you more.

I believe Gentoo was written from scratch and isn't based on anything.

mplayer updates
Hi,
the mplayer packagages at:
deb http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/
are now built against an external libavcodec. Could someone who uses the
m{player,encoder}-powerpc versions on a non altivec system please let me
know if this causes any problems?
Cheers,

My current 2.6 should work too, the problem is with cpufreq. They seem to have updated the PMU firmware indeed and it no longer accept a protocol violation that was triggered by the cpufreq code (and the sleep code occasionally as well). Actually, I didn't know it was a protocol violation until it started crashing as I don't have protocol specs :) Ben.

I'll download them over my slow modem connection. So be patient.
Can you give me some details of dependencies ? I mean, which things have you
enabled/disabled in mplayer's configure-script ?

ibook internal modem
I am using 2.4.21-ben2, and experiencing difficulty installing the Conexant driver for my iBook2.2's internal modem. Steps taken so far: 1/ Downloaded hcfusbmodem-1.00lnxt03091600ppcfree from www.linuxant.com, and used 'checkinstall' to make a debian package and installed. 2/ Ran 'hcfusbconfig' and received the following error: Building modules for kernel 2.4.21-ben2, using source directory /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/build. Please wait.. depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/misc/hcfusbosspec.o depmod: ioremap_bot Attempting a 'modprobe hcfusbosspec' fails with the error: /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/misc/hcfusbosspec.o: unresolved symbol ioremap_bot /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/misc/hcfusbosspec.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/misc/hcfusbosspec.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.21-ben2/misc/hcfusbosspec.o: insmod hcfusbosspec failed Any idea how I can fix this?

french airport cards compatible to swiss ones or vice versa
Hi My question is, do french airport cards also work in switzerland, or are are there small differencies concerning the frequencies used? Of course, the reverse is also possible, i.e. swiss card for france. Hope someone's got some experiences concerning this. -- Best wishes, Andi

French airport cards are limited to channels 10 to 13.

I just tried the g4 versions. I get:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries:

Here to, but only on my 2.4.22-presomething Benh kernel, the 2.4.21-pre6 I had, and the 2.4.22-benh I compiled after applying the revised 10.2.8 work fine.
