powerpc === In unstable, 2.4 and 2.6 both work fine on newworld pmac. 2.4 oldworld pmac is unbootable, but then again it always has been. It is reasonable to move for a 2.6 powerpc kernel for sarge, for all currently supported architectures, the support for those is better, and upstream (that is the linuxppc folk) as well as our own kernel powerpc specialist are favoring 2.6 development and bug fix over 2.4. Last night I tried installing both 2.4 and 2.6 on my OldWorld Beige G3. (using the sarge netinst daily CD from 2004/07/07) Neither worked, but for different reasons. I've sent installation reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but they haven't yet shown up on the list with a bug number. kernel 2.6 died trying to discover disk hardware -- segfaults. kernel 2.4 died trying to install a kernel -- something about missing dependencies involving kernel modules package. oldworld has a bootloader installer so if you boot it using BootX that should theoretically be OK, but there's been zero testing. BootX depends on non-free macos 9. Booting either 2.4 or 2.6 via BootX works just fine, thanks! I don't mind giving over a few hundred Mbytes (on a 160 GByte disk!) to MacOS-9 in exchange for a stable boot-loader environment. No RC issues, apart possibly from Sven's keymap thing. Depends on whether you count the two bugs I mentioned above. Enjoy! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
