kernel-2.6.9 config for G5
Hi, I'm trying to set up 2.6.9 kernel on a dual-1.8 G5, installed with di using the make pmac_defconfig as bases and setting the smp. the kernel boots fine but hangs on with the following RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at bock 0 RAMDISK: image too big!

G5 report problematic succes
Hi today was quite work free, please don't repeat it to my boss ;-) I started playing seriously with the G5 booting the k-mib-ppc-beta-pre-10, in single mode and isntalling debian thru debootstrap was quite simple. just to note that debootstraps hangs (at least the one located on the k-mib pre10) while trying to use libacl and libattr fetching those libs from any debian mirror, and using dpkg to install the 2 fautives, solved the problem. yaboot setting was a little bit tricky until I realize that the guilty was df output . yabootconfig fail while trying to get the KERNDEV, KERNDIR, LINKDIR and PARTITION playing with bash man page, allow to understand the echo command and to correct manualy the problem.

This is the easy part. and for the adaptec card support, I have to compile a fresh kernel 2.4.7 is there an iso of an install disk including such a kernel with the 29160 driver ? if not I'll build a kernel on my pismo, an boot from disk as I will perform a network install.

After considerable time in sleep mode, the battery may still run out. I guess it's the way it happens last nigth. Do you always want to have the machine shut down instead of sleep, even when closing the lid? If so, just add the shutdown command there. no no, I want to close the lid, to put the PowerBook into sleeping mode, go to the library, wake it up, and use th airport network, and finaly go working If you only want the shutdown on power low, look into /usr/share/doc/pmud for the sample powerfail script, configure pmud to send a signal to init on low battery (man pmud), and set up init to run the powerfail script on power status change (man inittab).

It was a real pain for me when I first installed Debian on a mac with a French keyboard: you need to be able to hit 'q' to get out of the fdisk program, and maybe it comes up in other parts of the installation too. This hassle already came up on the mailing list by the way. this is not a sokution, just a tip, just remember that you can use the ascii code to type a letter. for example. q = command 113. for thet you have to type the ascii value on the numerical keyboard, while pressing the command(apple) key. it saves me some times, while installing debian on various Mac, whith azerty keyboards Eric -- A noter que si on a installé Macsbug, on peut avoir accès à une fenêtre bien plus grande, bourrée d'information passionnantes, en couleur et clickodrome.

report install debian on powerbook G4
Hello, as promise just a few words explainig how I install debian 2.2r2 on a powerbook G4 this is a short resume on how to install Debian and MacOs on a Titanium powerbook G4 first note that the kernel 2.2.18pre21 on the debian install CD, dosn't allow to boot the Ti 1) boot on the MacOS CD, use the Apple Hard disk tools to create the partition scheme you want on the drive drive eg: X Go for linux (free-space) X Go for the MacOS system (HFS+) X Go for the MacOS apps (HFS+) X Go for the docs (HFS+) X Mo/Go for a sharing MacOS - Linux partition (HFS) 2) install MacOS 3) grab a linux kernel 2.2.18, ramdisk, yaboot, yaboot.conf on the shared partition 4) get the SystemDisk tool from apple URL:ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/macosxserver/utilities/ with this one note the number of the partition or the shared partition eg: XX 5) edit the yaboot.conf eg: init-message = \nDebian PPC\nhit TAB for boot options\n\n timeout = 50 default = install image=hd:XX,vmlinux-2.2.18 label=install initrd=hd:XX,ramdisk.image.gz initrd-size=8192 append=video=ofonly 6) reboot the Mac under OF (command-option-o-f) at boot-prompt type boot hd:XX,yaboot 7) the debian installer is launched install debian as usual on the free-space partition previously created DON'T forget to create a Apple_Bootstrap partition of small size, in first place see URL:http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ mac-fdisk section note the /dev/hdaNN number of the Apple_Bootstrap partition note the /dev/hdaYY number of your / partition eg if you do the way described here, it should be /dev/hda11 (/dev/hda1 to 9 are Mac drivers and /dev/hda10 your bootstrap partition) initialise swap format the linux partitions mount a previously initialized partition, the shared one. install base configure drivers configure base DON'T do disk bootable instead go to the console, copy the linux-kernel-2.2.18 to your /boot partition, name it vmlinux-2.2.18 8) reboot the computer under MacOS depending on the number of linux partition you've created, the previous XX number of the shared partition has changed, use SystemDisk again to get the new one, eg now it's ZZ 9) edit once again the yaboot.conf: modify the old XX to ZZ and insert a linux boot section as following init-message = \nDebian PPC\nhit TAB for boot options\n\n timeout = 50 default = debian image=hd:ZZ,vmlinux-2.2.18 label=install initrd=hd:ZZ,ramdisk.image.gz initrd-size=8192 append=video=ofonly image=hd:YY,/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18 label=debian root=/dev/hdaYY append=video=ofonly 10) reboot under OF once again, at boot prompt boot hd:ZZ, yaboot 11) this time the installed linux boot up - answer the question - set up /etc/apt/sources.list - install what you want, I strongly suggest man first ;-)) - set up the /etc/yaboot.conf eg: # bootstrap partition boot=/dev/hdaNN device=hd: delay=20 timeout=20 # the OF menu to use magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot # the booter to use install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot # enable boot form cdrom enablecdboot # default OS, linux of course defaultos=linux # linux boot options. default=debian image=hd:YY,/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18 label=debian root=/dev/hdaYY append=video=ofonly 12) run mkofboot on /dev/hdaNN --filesystem hfs that's all folks, dual boot Linux/MacOS is set you just have to install what you want: X, compile a fitted kernel for this machine, and so on ;-)) just a note, as I've read on list, eth drivers for the eth card of the TiG4 are not so good.
