Hi.. I have a PB G4 1.33GHz 12" with a Debian 2.6.6 kernel (w/
Debian patches that I compiled). I've been experiencing some weird
problems after upgrading my RAM to 768 from 256MB. I used a module
from owc.com that met the Apple specifications. The problems: when
the daily cron job updatedb was
uite a bit with the options and the
script on his website has the options that work... so hopefully
this link will help others also...
