Re: Kernel 2.6.35-rc1
* Elimar Riesebieter [100718 01:09 +0200]: * Elimar Riesebieter [100603 21:14 +0200]: Hi all, did one try 2.6.35-rc1.? I compiled one with make oldconfig (working 2.6.34's) and after booting fron yaboot there is only a black screen. After a while the dong gives me signal that the machine is rebooting. Is there a chance to debug that behaviour? FYI radeon kms enabled is compiled in including respective firmware. My machine: model : PowerBook5,8 machine : PowerBook5,8 motherboard : PowerBook5,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 15) OSX Tiger installed bootable. ven the same behavior on 2.6.35-rc5. Does one have a 2.6.35 running on PPC? Adding radeon.agpmode=1 to the kernel optionss did the job.

Or if you haven't tried libgl1-mesa-dri 7.8.x from experimental yet, that might be worth a shot as well. Adding radeon.agpmode=1 to the kernel options does the job.

You'll probably want to put that in the append option for yaboot.conf, IIRC. I added that, but on reboot it still seems to be loading radeonfb: dmesg still gives Invalid ROM contents and Invalid ROM signature for radeonfb (and video is still streaky). Any other likely ways of disabling radeonfb? As told here you need to put it to your append section of yaboot.conf: append=root=/dev/hda? video=radeonfb:off and run ybin -v afterwards. To check which framebuffer you're using just read the output of cat /proc/fb It should be either radeonfb or radeondrmfb ;-) Elimar I get this error if I do ybin -v after checking this out: ybin: /dev/hda7: No such file or directory although fdisk -l tells me: /dev/hda7 Apple_Bootstrap untitled 33203 @ 84081652 ( 16.2M) NewWorld bootblock can anyone help? thx drz -- -- gpg fp: 5518 8F74 B2A0 E91A 6FAD 8AC8 C02C 6C6F C899 DC65 Public Key: http://rizzux.org/drz.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
