Package: linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6 Version: 1.21 Severity: normal
Hi, ... Installing debian on most 64bit powerpc machines, is a nightmare, as the fans quick into high speed, and the boxes sound like an airplan. This was fixed on the userland side with support for loading those modules in initramfs-tools, but support for it is lacking in d-i, which makes installation, and furthermore d-i testing a real nightmare. I suppose the best option would be to create a module .udeb, called fancontrol or something more appropriate, including : /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/therm_pm72.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_cpufreq_clamp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_lm75_sensor.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_max6690_sensor.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_pid.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_pm112.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_pm81.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_pm91.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_smu_controls.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_smu_sat.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/macintosh/windfarm_smu_sensors.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-powermac.ko I hope i have missed none of them, but these seems to be the list used in initramfs-tools, and discussed on debian-powerpc with benh. No patch from me, because this is best handled on the kernel-wedge or linux-kernel-di side, and i am not the most knowledgeable of guys with regard to their functioning or best practice, but i guess the above information should be more usefull than a patch to be checked anyway. Furthermore, the patch needs then to be added into the powerpc64 ramdisks too.
