Dear Friends:
Got ye ol powerbook 1400c up an running with sarge again as per your
suggestions. However, I am a little discouraged to say that the pmu trouble
continues. I was using the laptop trying to set up network printing as a test
and it powered off. I'm also using a pcmcia toshiba hard drive which may have
caused the problem. As it is not nessesary for running linux I'll try again
without it. I find it convenient for mac os9.2.
My other device is a 3com ethernet card. So far I have not experienced any pmu
problems while running the Orinoco wireless card. Then there is the factor of
the battery. Maybe if I run linux without the battery in the bay the problems
may stop. I can put it in when turning off the computer as a cmos backup.
I have been using the patched pmu image but plan to reinstall it. Also, my
synaptic package archive seems to be messed up as it is unable to install
printer drivers from the sarge cd that it asked for and has error messages that
come up. Later this week I expect to receive a larger hard drive that I will
install, and at that time reinstall linux as well. Any suggestions on a
partitioning scheme? I have read that it is good to have the root system on one
partitition and all other files on another, while having yet another for swap.
Lately I've just been putting the install on one partition and accompanied by
one swap.
Thx,
Vito

I usually boot the Debian installer, choose to load the installer
components from the CD (this implies that ext2fs-utils are loaded) and
then switch to a shell.
Then I manually invoke the repair process:
fsck.ext3 /dev/discs/...
^^
To be replaced by your root partition.
Good luck,
Florian
