Hi,
This kernel panic happens on fast hardware just after the second sync()
following the ioctl() as Ethan wrote previously. I can reproduce the kernel

mac-fdisk.
I wrote a little test case that reproduces this kernel panic

Hi all
Please, CC me, i am not subscribed to debian-powerpc.

Kannel is a wap and sms gateway. It has the posibility to use ssl to

Kannel needs threads support in ssl.

Hello, fellow PowerPC linux users. :)
After many years away, I decided to return to the PowerPC linux scene,
since my macintosh is rediculously faster than my PC and I end up
spending most of my time there so I can run apt.
So, here's my story.

Hi,
I wonder where documentation to Open Firmware could be found.
I'm now able to calculate with Open Firmware, do a network boot, or
similar stuff. But isn't it possible to erase the partition table from
