I don't think it would cause you a problem, except that MacOS X may monopolize the boot process after it is installed. If that is the case, then you can just re-run ybin after booting into Linux (just hold the "option" key pressed right after the boot's chime and select the Linux partition in the graphical bootloader).

Re: kernel compilation on powerbook g4(II)
José Salavert Torres wrote: I try to compile mol modules with this kernel and Ican't modversions.h is missing ??? Well, first of all, you'll have to make sure that you've compiled a kernel before you compile modules for that kernel. You'll also have to make sure to use a recent mol-modules-sources (like the one in unstable) to use with recent benh kernels. And don't forget to correct manually the ide-cd.h file, if the one you're using declares, on line 440, the variable as "__u8 short" (substitute that with "__u16"). Hope that this helps, Roger... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogério Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Problems with SMP
Hi, All. Now, that I could get a 2.4 kernel compiled for my quite old PowerMac 9500/180MP, I would like to get SMP working. This machine is quite slow for a lot of tasks, including rendering web pages. So, getting the second CPU working would actually be a great boost of speed. I have compiled a SMP kernel, but these are the messages that I receive when the kernel is booting: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...) PowerMac motherboard: PowerMac 9500/9600 (...) Entering SMP Mode... Processor 1 is stuck. (...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - After this, /proc/cpuinfo only shows information about the first CPU. So, is this a known bug? Would the cause of this problem be that I am booting with BootX? Should I send more information to linux-kernel? Which information would be necessary? I think that I'm falling in love with the PowerPC architecture and if I get a bit more of speed, I'd love to help compiling packages from the Debian repository or to help with anything that I can to make Debian better. Thanks in advance for any information, Roger... P.S.: I'm attaching the complete dmesg output to give context to the excerpts above.

Problems with java applets on PPC
Dear people, I am trying to access my bank which, unfortunately, uses a Java applet for password input (yes, I know it is stupid, but I can't change the bank -- otherwise, I wouldn't receive the financial support for my graduate study). The problem is that when mozilla/galeon/etc tries to load the applet in https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/aai/login.pbk, the place of the java applet shows "loading java applet" (or something similar) and then browser immediately dies. I'm currently using Debian's sid on an iBook 2, 600MHz, combo (powerpc) and I installed the last version of the blackdown Java sdk for powerpc (1.3.1 fcs02b). When I go to other pages with applets (like java.sun.com), the applets work fine, but that particular page seems to have a problem and I unfortunately don't know anything about Java. Debian's mozilla just dies silently, but Mozilla 1.0 compiled for PowerPC/Linux taken from mozilla.org shows a backtrace after the crash (I'm sending it with this message). The crash is 100% reproducible with this computer. BTW, the applet works with "other" operating systems (read: MacOS X), which would indicate that probably the problem is not with the applet. So, is there any help? I'd love to be able to access my bank with Linux. Is the problem the fact that the page is using Secure HTTP? Any comments are welcome. Please let me know if any extra information is needed. Thanks for any help, Roger. P.S.: As a side comment, the Blackdown project announced that they would release Debian packages of their last release, but it seems that they haven't released anything yet. Is there any information on the progress of the packaging available?
