Hi,
I've read the archives when others have upgraded their OS X partitions
and had their boot process munged in some way. Their described solutions
aren't working for me.
I have been dual booting Debian and 10.3.7 for a long time b/c I knew
the upgrade would somehow destroy my Debian. Well,
I still can't get Debian to boot. I include here my yaboot.conf in case
it helps someone diagnose the problem. Also Open Firmware reads "Apple
PowerBook6,8 4.90f0 BootROM built on 1/10/05 at 10:39:14." if that helps.
boot=/dev/hda3
device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROT
I still can't boot Debian so I'm posting my yaboot.conf in hopes it
helps someone diagnose the problem. Also, open firmware reads: "Apple
PowerBook6,8 4.90f0 BootROM built on 1/10/05 at 10:39:14" if that helps
anyone.
yaboot.conf:

Sorry for the double post earlier.
I'm writing this email from Debian. I decided to try my old 2.6.8 kernel
and it booted up fine. I have no idea why my regular kernel is now
panicking every boot, but I suppose this just gives me a reason to go
ahead with a planned kernel upgrade anyway.

Hi,
I've tried and failed about a dozen times to compile a 2.6.16 release
candidate kernel with the associated bcm43xx-dscape patches. I think the
problem is Debian or Powerpc related (or kernel config) and not the
fault of the driver.
The most commo

While the problem described in the above post remains, I now have the
bcm43xx driver working with softmac. A detailed HOWTO of what I did to
get the Airport Extreme to work on a Post-Feb-2005 Powerbook is here:

Charles,
I just completed a dual-boot install on a new 12" Powerbook. Many of the
available HOWTOs are out-of-date and did not work for me. What did work:
1. Put in the OS X install disc and use the Disk Utility to partition
the drive into two partitions, putting OS X on the second partition.

I'm using the ZyAIR G-220 USB Wifi Dongle with the zd1211 driver. I

wireless working on my blog here:

Sorry to be dense, but could someone explain step-by-baby-step how to
apply that patch? I've got a new Powerbook I'd like to try it on, but
don't know exactly how to proceed.
Thanks,
Brian

Have you tried playing with the DRC setting as I explained in the patch ?
Hmm, I still don't see that in the patch, but that did fix it.
I used gnome-alsamixer and cranked up the DRC Range setting.
Now the internal speaker is clearly audible.
Thanks.

Hi,
I did a net install of Debian on an old iMac G3 Rev. B
with 6MB of vRAM and the ATI Rage Pro card. It has 64MB of
RAM. X does not start. It seems to want to start, but the
gdm login screen never appears. I'm wondering if perhaps X
simply will not run with only 64MB of RAM. At first I was

On 2.16.12-rc2 pbbuttonsd also usually consumes 96-99% of my CPU,
according to top.
If this was working ok in 2.6.11.5 what happened since then to break
things?
I'm using the pbbuttonsd from the Debian testing repository, I think.
Is there a way to fix this that doesn't involve downgrading one's
Hi,
I want the two "Apple" keys on my powerbook to simply be extra CTRL
keys. I've tried to do this a couple different ways, but it's never
worked. Anyone know how to do this? (Explain step-by-step!) Thanks.
