can someone please help me to install Wheezy on a Powermac G5?
When i boot in open firmware

i really like my powermac g5 but i am bit afraid to use linux on it
because i had so many problems.

Hello,
It worked! The fans are nearly silent. They are working though. Thank you
so much for the patched kernel. I'd love to learn how to compile and
configure a kernel at some point. If you ever have another kernel that you
need tested that I can run I'd be more than happy to test it out and send
Hello Peter!
You are right. I just checked. The PowerMac11,2 uses a SMU. This can
also be verified using an Open Firmware console, the command "lsdev"
lists all devices in the device tree by name. One of the names is "smu"
and not "pmu".

Hi Rick,
Interesting Its almost behaving like it hasn't loaded any modules
off the initrd.
Is there any indication that it has loaded the initrd
Or just by chance, the wrong initrd has been loaded and therefore no
modules, e.g. the sata_svw driver

Hi Andreas,
Unless the kernel dmesg logs are lying, the Powermac G5 (11.2) uses the
SMU and the Powermac G5 (7.2) uses the PMU.

Hi Aidan & Rick,
Aiden:Regarding the Powermac G5 AGP (7.2) it seemed like the PMU
option was required for your machine. So we are making progress!
Unfortunately, it seems that i didn't include the windfarm_pm72 driver
in the kernel build.
I have corrected that in a new 4.4.0-rc7 rev2 test
Hello,
The kernel works for me. I'm emailing you from the computer now. The fans
unfortunately persist in their loudness, but the kernel is booting. I've
attached the output of dmesg with this email.
Thanks!

Hi Aidan,
If you want to test something out to get your Powermac G5 (7.2) running
without fans at max rpm.
I have built a 4.4.0-rc7 kernel deb package. I have downgraded binutils
to the version from jessie (binutils 2.25-5) which is working.
Thanks for the tip Len.
This is more or less one

OK. The gui works after blacklisting NV and enabling nouveau. However, the
fans are now at full blast. I've tried the sudo modprobe i2c-powermac but
it doesn't seem to control the fans. The new logs are attached.
Thanks!

Thanks.
I've got the same. It is the Original (2003) and "Late 2003".
I had trouble installing Debian on my PowerMac7,2 as I wanted a 64-bit
version. I now understand that you should use the regular PowerPC based
distribution "powerpc", not "ppc64el" which is for POWER systems only.

This is actually a powermac 7,2 not a 9,1. I'm going to install that
kernel later.
Thanks for the advice

Sorry to interrupt…
I always thought that the 1.8 GHz Late 2004 model (PowerMac9,1) was the
only Power Mac G5 ever to use a SMU instead of a PMU. It is the one that
internally uses iMac technology (bus ration 3:1).
All other Power Mac G5 machines use a PMU. Including the last Late 2005

Hi Aidan,
I have had a look at the logs you provided.
The kernels i have provided are specifically configured for the last
Powermac G5's (11.2).
Regarding the fans, note the following line in your dmesg log:
[0.00] WARNING ! Your machine is PMU-based but your kernel
[0.00]
I have an AGP g5. The kernel that you have listed is the one that I am
using. It also appears that something is wrong with the windfarm driver,
because after about five minutes the fans are blowing at top speed. I've
attatched the two logs as text files. dmesgOut.txt is the output of dmesg

Hi Aidan,
Please use this 3.18.16 kernel. Link below:

complete dmesg log).
Also please post the output of "cat /proc
The card and monitor both worked fine under mac os x, and the color is fine
in the terminal. I'm not sure what would indicate a gpu or monitor error,
but they a were both working fine under os x.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll try a different cable.

Have you ruled out the possibility of a hardware issue either with your
monitor, video card port(s), and video cable itself? Sometimes bent or
missing pins on the video cables or loose connections can cause such
problems. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Thanks,
I have installed the kernel as suggested above, and when I run uname -a it
returns that the kernel is running, but the graphical errors persist. Do I
need to do something more? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to graphics,
so I may have just gotten it wrong.
Thanks for the help
