I am wondering if there are still powerpc woody users out there,
and if so,
what kernel they are running, and which subarch (oldworld,
newworld, prep,
etc). And also if a security update would be worthwhile, over
assistance to
migrate to a sarge 2.4.27 kernel for example.
I'm still using 2.4.27 on a PowerPC Nubus machine.
2.4.27 is the sarge kernel, the woody kernel where those random
2.2.x ones as
well as the 2.4.18-newpmac kernel.
Aha. In that case it might be interesting to mention that I still
have a machine (PCI) running on a 2.2.20 kernel since that's the
highest version that can run the PowerMac 9500/200. Never found out
why a higher version doesn't work. Pity though. This machine is fast
enough for the work I give it. When I find the time I'll try one of
the newer kernels on that machine.
But is it an official debian kernel ? I believe that the newest
2.6.15 kernel
should work on this machine, could you try them, and make sure to
file a bug
report if it does not.
As far as I know this kernel is posted somewhere on a site, not an
official Debian site, just as a solution to a problem there was once
(long time ago). I tried the 2.4.27 kernel, which was the highest
version at that time, but that wouldn't work. So I stayed with a
2.2.20 kernel.
If you think the latest kernel WILL work I'll definitely try it.

Ernest Demaret
