Mmm, can you try http://people.debian.org/~luther/2.6.11 now ?

Known problem i think, please try the -0.2 case, which contains a fix for this, altough it doesn'y work on my own ibook G3, the fix is powerpbook tailored, so ... > The dmesg output contains the following lines which look like error > messages: > > - no idea about this: > > Can't get bus-range for /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED], assuming > it starts at 0 > PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:19.0 Probably can be ignored. > - graphics seem to work, so maybe the following is harmless? > > radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): Invalid ROM signature 303 should be0xaa55 you can ignore this one, your radeon has no x86 bios, i think this is the reason for this message. > - the following is known, I think: > > adt746x: Thermostat bus: 0, address: 0x2e, limit_adjust: 0, fan_speed: > -1 > adt746x: Thermostat failed to read config from bus 0 !

Yep, probably, since i didn't touch any of these. Thanks for your tests. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
