Yes, sleep is an ongoing issue. YDL uses a pretty much pure BenH kernel, while we're using kernel.org + Mandrake patches + ppc patches. Ben's stuff makes it into the main kernel tree, but slowly. I've tried before to patch in what I thought were the appropriate bits, but folks didn't have much luck with them. > I have been a YellowDog user for quite some time, but lately I have been > disappointed by the older packages included in YDL.

I'm using PCMCIA on my Lombard for firewire, and just now popped in a Sandisk flash card, and see ide-cs is gone from the current kernel 2.4.19-19mdk. As a matter of fact, it looks like very little PCMCIA is in there. Not sure what happened there, but I'll add it to my todo list. Looking at the stock 8.2 kernel there is no ide-cs either. The update kernel at ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/ppc/8.2/RPMS/kernel-2.4.18.8.1mdk-1-3mdk.ppc.rpm Does have ide-cs. Do the core pcmcia driver load? > TIA, > > Craig.... > > > > > Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.openproject.net #cooker-ppc Archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&r=1&w=2
