New Powerbook 12" No HD found (ATA 100)

2005-03-13 Thread Brian W. Carver
Hi, Long-time Debian user. First-time PPC user. I'm following the Debian installation instructions at http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/apple/powerbook.en.php and when I get into the Debian install screens it cannot find my hard disk. This is apparently because the old linux.bin I'

Hi, So the debian installer detected my new 12" Powerbook's ATA 100 HD once I downloaded the BK devel kernel from ppckernel.org here: http://ppckernel.org/download/bk-2.5-devel-pmac/linux-bk-2.5-devel-pmac-2.6.11-rc4.tar.bz2 and renamed /boot/vmlinux-2.6.11-rc4 to linux.bin and put it in the de

Compile errors patching 2.6.11 to 2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-14 Thread Brian W. Carver
Hi all, OK, now I am trying to patch the plain vanilla 2.6.11 to 2.6.12-rc2 (and then adding 2.6.12-rc2-mm3 as well.) The kernel still doesn't compile. I did this: cd /usr/src wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 tar -jxf linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 rm linux ln -s linux-2.
