Re: Updated Debian Ports installation images

I've been monitoring this thread for some time, and was able to install one of the november images on a PowerBook G4 DVI using multiple tweaks. All in all the PowerBook runs fine. I tried the 3/28 ppc64 image on a dual G5 and it booted right up after the install.  I've not spent much time work

Kernel panic

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about this. I've searched google, and found several others with the same problem, but haven't found a solution. I'm running Debian unstable with ReiserFS. After installing kernel 2.6.6 ('apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc'), I get errors while boot

Can I borrow some config files?

Hey, I wrote earlier with some install problems, which I have fixed. I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to let me have an example kernel-config (BenH 2.6.x) and example X configuration. I have a Powerbook 867 Mhz. Thanks in advance. _

System won't boot

I was wondering if anybody could help me with an installation issue. My system will not boot, and I am pretty sure I installed in correctly since this is the second time I have installed Debian PPC. I have a powerbook with a G4 processor. Here is the exactly what happened: I went to debian.or

Re: modem works!, battery drains fast?

here isn't much on a typical workstation that depends on 'atime' being correct, so it's probably worth doing for laptops. I got this off linux-kernel a while back and hadn't seen it mentioned yet, so I thought I'd pipe up. -Doug
