While the problem described in the above post remains, I now have the

Hi,
I've tried and failed about a dozen times to compile a 2.6.16 release
candidate kernel with the associated bcm43xx-dscape patches. I think the
problem is Debian or Powerpc related (or kernel config) and not the
fault of the driver.
The most commo
Sorry for the double post earlier.
I'm writing this email from Debian. I decided to try my old 2.6.8 kernel
and it booted up fine. I have no idea why my regular kernel is now
panicking every boot, but I suppose this just gives me a reason to go
ahead with a planned kernel upgrade anyway.
If peopl
I still can't boot Debian so I'm posting my yaboot.conf in hopes it
helps someone diagnose the problem. Also, open firmware reads: "Apple
PowerBook6,8 4.90f0 BootROM built on 1/10/05 at 10:39:14" if that helps
anyone.

I still can't get Debian to boot. I include here my yaboot.conf in case
it helps someone diagnose the problem. Also Open Firmware reads "Apple

Hi,
I've read the archives when others have upgraded their OS X partitions
and had their boot process munged in some way. Their described solutions
aren't working for me.
I have been dual booting Debian and 10.3.7 for a long time b/c I knew
the upgrade would somehow destroy my Debian. Well,

I want the two "Apple" keys on my powerbook to simply be extra CTRL

On 2.16.12-rc2 pbbuttonsd also usually consumes 96-99% of my CPU,
according to top.
If this was working ok in 2.6.11.5 what happened since then to break
things?
I'm using the pbbuttonsd from the Debian testing repository, I think.
Is there a way to fix this that doesn't involve downgrading one's

Hi,
I did a net install of Debian on an old iMac G3 Rev. B

RAM. X does not start. It seems to want to start, but the
gdm login screen never appears. I'm wondering if perhaps X
simply will not run with only 64MB of RAM. At first I was

Have you tried playing with the DRC setting as I explained in the patch ?
Hmm, I still don't see that in the patch, but that did fix it.
I used gnome-alsamixer and cranked up the DRC Range setting.
Now the internal speaker is clearly audible.
Thanks.

Sorry to be dense, but could someone explain step-by-baby-step how to
apply that patch? I've got a new Powerbook I'd like to try it on, but
don't know exactly how to proceed.
Thanks,

Charles,
I just completed a dual-boot install on a new 12" Powerbook. Many of the
available HOWTOs are out-of-date and did not work for me. What did work:
1. Put in the OS X install disc and use the Disk Utility to partition
the drive into two partitions, putting OS X on the second partition.
