Slightly off-topic: Cube Mac power supply question

2022-08-26 Thread Steven Grunza
Sorry for the slightly off-topic question but I recently was given a Cube Mac without a power supply. I know the cube requires a 28V supply of roughly 7A but I don't have the connector. While I can build the required supply I don't have a source for the cable and would rather not hack the cube's

Does anyone know if the nouveau driver will work with an old G5 PowerPC and the GeForce FX G05200 it originally used? The last time I tried it had numerous problems (no graphics, kernel panics, etc). lsusb reports the video card as: NVIDIA Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200] (rev a1) Vario

Killed the machine. :( While trying to change the symlinks in /boot to point to the new initrd the nouveau driver crashed the OS causing a panic and reboot. Since the initrd file is not defined in /boot the machine is no longer bootable. I've installed debian and ubuntu about five or six times

Which kernel should I use for a system (Apple iMac G5) installed from the jessie 8.3.0? I apparently am running into some problems with the nouveau driver, maybe it is this "large pages not being compatible with the nouveau driver" issue. I can use the Ctrl-Option-F1 key sequence to get to a cons
