It's always good to tell which Powerbook G4 your are testing simply because they don't have all the same sound hardware. for example: $ grep machine /proc/cpuinfo machine : PowerBook5,6 (g4 @1.6 Ghz) the powerbook5,6 doesn't required the workaround below. >>>> The fix is to put "snd-powermac" into /etc/modules so that module >>>> is loaded at boot time.

Can it be this package which is reponsible of detecting the soundcard that requires explicitly the module snd-powermac ? http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/hw-detect the interesting part for us, seems to be in the file discover-mac-io.sh >> Dear all, >> >> the snd-powermac module was freezing G5s on fresh installs long time ago, and >> was disabled for this reason.

I would like to know this as well. Cheers, Sébastien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
