No hard disks detected
On the new PowerPC G4 when i was trying to install Debian woody from the first CD, managed to boot from the CD, used install24, went through the regular installation steps ... No HDD was detected, though the system has two 120gb harddisks. Can any one suggest what could have been the problem. Are there any new images available for booting the new PoweMacs? any boot time parameters to give? Nagarjuna

which wireless to buy?
I have a Ti PowerBookG4. It is described as airport ready. Since I use only GNU/Linux and never boot OSX, I want to buy a card that is supported by Linux for 802.11g. Which is the supported card? Is there support for AirPort Card which supports 802.11b? Nagarjuna

Strange delay in starting kde and gnome
Suddenly, I am having problems in starting both kde3.2 and gnome 2.6. it takes around 15 minutes to get the desktop, gnome doesn't come at all, and there is a similar delay for starting some of the programs. It seems starting services is taking all the time. If I use icewm as the desktop there is no problem. Couldn't diagnose the problem. any clues? Nagarjuna
m3mirror
I am desperate to display this wonderful system to everyone and wish to use LCD projectors. I have working PowerBookG4 running 2.4.23-pre5-ben0, with VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [Radeon Mobility 9000 M9] (rev 1). Would ben's m3mirror work on this. When I tried I get gbook:/home/nagarjun/bin# ./m3mirror ATI Rage M3 mirror tool, v0.1 error 1074020353 getting mirror value Any help/tricks are appreciated. Nagarjuna -- nagarjuna g.

If this works I see no reason why I need to boot OSX. congrats to Ben and all others for very good work. Nagarjuna
error while building kernel image deb with kpkg
I get the following error while compiling the kernel-image using make-kpkg. Any idea where the script is going wrong. I had built kernels before, and it worked. -error lines--- cp vmlinux debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-ben1 chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-ben1 cp arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux.coff-2.4.25-ben1 cp: cannot stat `arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/benh-kernel' make: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 2 ---error lines end -- Nagarjuna
Re: error while building kernel image deb with kpkg
The problem is solved when the kernel is compiled with "HAVE_COFF_IMAGE=YES" is made "NO", other wise it exits without creating the deb file. thanks to qdecavel for suggestionn in the list.
