Hi all,
I know this is OT, though
The second RAM row of my AlPB15" G4 isn`t recognized neither in
LINUX nor in OSX. I changed the chips to check them working: OK
Is there a jumper or something to activate the row or do I have to
change the motherboard?
Thank you in advance

Not really missing, we know exactly where it is. As previously

Hello List,
I'm looking for a Hardware-Raid which works on PowerPC Linux.
I tried the following SCSI Raid-controller but had some problems:
DPT SmartRaid V Millennium
AMI MegaRaid 500 Express
ICP GDT 6118 RP
Could you please recommend me some working Raid-controllers ?
Cheers

Sorry for being late. I just tried the patch against vanilla 2.6.9 on
a PowerBook 5,3 (17",
Good news on the DVD play back issues I was having

First I have to type: hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb
this turns on UDMA2 for my DVD-ROM
Where would I put this command so it is done
automatically at boot up?
I installed xine-ui instead of totem-xine and

The credit for this goes to the Gentoo forum:

I simply did:

downloaded the flash_x86.tar.bz2 file linked in the gentoo forum page and

I compiled it 2.6.9 with OHCI-HCD in the kernel. It doesn't work.
I put OHCI-HCD as module and launch it like this : modprode ohci-hcd.
That's WORK
I just had to launch modprode usbmouse to make working my mouse
I feel good

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the tips. I'll see if I can figure out what is causing the DMA
to be turned off. I remember I had this same problem with YDL 3.0.1 on the
same machine.
Tried disabling DRC ?
DRC is Digital Room Correction?
Where would I disable that?

Jon
