Bug#397942: g5 imacs now silent?

2006-11-30 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

this bug was originally about building certain windfarm drivers into the 
kernel instead of modules, but it seems, that this was a red herring and the 
current kernel in sid now includes working modules to turn the G5 fans 
silent.

If this is correct, this bug can be closed. Is it correct?


regards,
Holger

The bug should be retitled and reassigned to initramfs-tools, if it is not
already.

Or merged with other similar bugs if already present.

Holger: thanks for the work you are doing. Can you also comment on : 

  #397973: [powerpci/mac] partman-md appears to not write back the raid flag
  to partitions.

Maybe it would be worth to raise the severity of this bug, but i can hardly do
this, or i will be seen as whiner who ups the severity of his pet bugs, can i
ask you to have a look at them ? 

Friendly,

Sven Luther

Hi,

Beware not to confuse iMac G5 rev AB and rev C (among PowerMac G5).
iMac G5 rev C (chip PowerMac 12,1) do not have yet their windfarm
driver. Benh told that he began the work on this driver but has
difficulties to get access to de device. Benh, can you confirm ?

Étienne.

Yes, I did some initial work to dig as much info as I could from darwin,
but it seems that apple, once again, changed everything and thus I'm not
confident writing and releasing a driver without physical access to the
HW to verify by myself that the fans are behaving properly.

I haven't managed to get access to that machine yet.

Ben.
