Re: Re: The powerpc architecture ubiquitous problem: sound
Now, the fun part; every sound begins loud (or should I say at a normal level) and then is almost imediately attenuated, resulting in annoyance and really low volume in general. With dmasound-pmac the volume used to be a lot louder and didn't had this kind of issues. Sounds like DRC. Disable it or yank up its range with a mixer app. I use alsamixer to turn off DRC.

The fact that going back to an old kernel version doesn't help means something else changed in between. In fact, it is, see below. For instance it could be that installing udev modified other things in the system. Of course, the wireless LAN card could be plain broken. After upgrading udev from 0.070-2 (testing) to 0.071-1 (unstable), the 2.6.12 kernel works again. 2.6.14 does not work. Concerning your other remarks in the bug report (i.e. the Cisco Aironet freezing the computer), I can confirm lots of problems with that card. I currently run 2.6.8 self-compiled from the Debian sources. With that kernel I have not had any freeze for the last 20 or so sleep cycles. However, I need to ifdown, ifup the card after sleep: it seems the settings are not all retained over sleep. Indeed, see my posting http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=305557 I've not tried ejecting the card with this kernel version, but normally that is a sure way to freeze.

Strange deconnections of Cisco 350 series CardBus network card on new kernels
Hi, A few days ago I installed linux-image-2.6.14-rc5 and yaird on my PowerBook Aluminium. A bit later i installed udev too. Until then I have successfuly used for several months a wireless card (Cisco 350 series) with pcmcia-cs, hotplug and stuff. Since I have installed these three programs my wireless card does not connect to AP. I have tried two APs on two different networks. I have tried various ifup/ifdown/iwconfig/dhclient combinations... Sometimes it connects, but it deconnects 10-20 minutes later, and during this time ping packets are sometimes delayed up to 10 seconds. Sometimes I cannot even succeed to connect it. I suppose this is in connection with the kernel because the problems started *exactly* when I installed these programs. Even if I boot with the previous kernel (2.6.12) the problem persists. When executing iwlist it generally prints: snoopy:~# iwlist eth2 scan eth2 Failed to read scan data : No data available [IIRC ethereal on eth2 shows the sent ARP packets, but no one answers to them.] A cable (eth0) works ok. I really do not understand what happened, any help will be really appreciated. -- My /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface #auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp #up /etc/init.d/ntp-server start #down /etc/init.d/ntp-server stop # The wifi interface (Eugen) allow-hotplug eth2 mapping hotplug script grep map eth2 iface eth2 inet manual pre-up /etc/network/eugen And my eugen file: [A series of if/else to discover the right location where I am] iwconfig $IFACE essid ... key ... commit dhclient $IFACE Regards, -- Eugen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thanks. I use kernel 2.6.8-3 and xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6. On my laptop X works only with 2.6 kernel.
How to enable apm in kernel 2.6?
Hi, I use kernel-image-2.6.7-powerpc, 2.6.7-5, on an alu 15 G4 powerbook. I need the battery level, but the /proc/apm pseudo-file does not exist. How can I enable it? In apmd package description I find that: Debian kernels are built with APM support but it is disabled by default. You need to boot the kernel with the apm=on option if you want to enable the driver. However, after doing that, the /proc/apm still does not exist. Thank you, Eugen
Re: Problems with keyboard
Type ctrl+alt+fn+f1 (fn just before f1). HTH, Eugen
Re: install failure
Why not trying the new debian-installer (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/)? Eugen
Computer blocks sometimes during booting 2.6.3 on powerbook (al) 15
Hi, Here is the output: [...] hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver hid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0: USB HID core driver mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice No key works, I must reset the computer. When it boots correctly, here is the output: [...] mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice i8042.c: i8042 controller self test timeout. NET: Registered protocol family 2 [...] Thanks, Eugen
Re: build errors with 2.6.3-ben2
I had the same problem. Compile I2C with built-in support (not module): devdr-i2c-support as builtin! devdr-i2c-i2calgo-pcf as builtin (I am not sure if this one is mandatory too) Eugen

NET: Registered protocol family 2 [...] Is there a reason you have the PC-style keyboard driver (i8042) in your kernel? Did you compile this kernel yourself? I would suggest using a kernel without the i8042 driver, since no Macintosh needs (or can use) it. This driver pokes at hard-coded addresses where a standard PC has the keyboard interface, so it's probably hitting something it shouldn't and confusing everything. There is no reason, but it was switched on by default and I did not know that it is unuseful (I am newbie in kernel compilation and apple machines, I try to modify only the mandatory options). I recompile the kernel without i8042 support and I will reply if the problem persists. Many thanks, Eugen
kernel compilation errors on aluminium powerbook
Hi, I have downloaded linux-2.6.3-rc3 from www.kernel.org and executed make config. I have an Aluminium PowerBook G4 with radeon 9600 (http://pubwww.fhzh.ch/~mgloor/powerbook.html and http://www.gnome-de.org/~herzi/pbook/). 1. In order to use the integrated network card I must switch on sun gem in network-ethernet10/100 during make config. I wonder if this can be automatically switched on. 2. I have added sctp as module and I obtain compilation errors: CC arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.o arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c: In function `todc_m48txx_read_val': arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:99: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:100: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:101: warning: passing arg 1 of `inb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c: In function `todc_m48txx_write_val': arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:107: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:108: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:109: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c: In function `todc_mc146818_read_val': arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:117: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:118: warning: passing arg 1 of `inb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c: In function `todc_mc146818_write_val': arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:124: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time.c:125: warning: passing arg 2 of `outb' makes integer from pointer without a cast - drivers/scsi/advansys.c:11855: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type - LD .tmp_vmlinux1 drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xd1668): In function `radeon_setup_i2c_bus': : undefined reference to `i2c_bit_add_bus' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xd17c8): In function `radeon_delete_i2c_busses': : undefined reference to `i2c_bit_del_bus' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xd17d0): In function `radeon_delete_i2c_busses': : undefined reference to `i2c_bit_del_bus' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xd17d8): In function `radeon_delete_i2c_busses': : undefined reference to `i2c_bit_del_bus' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xd17e0): In function `radeon_delete_i2c_busses': : undefined reference to `i2c_bit_del_bus' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xd1870): In function `radeon_do_probe_i2c_edid': : undefined reference to `i2c_transfer' There are also defined, but unused variable warnings. 3. BTW, where can I find benh kernel patches? I have searched on Internet (google benh kernel etc.) but without success... Also. at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/benh/ there are no patches for 2.6... Eugen
Re: 2.6.2-rc1-ben1 and XFS anyone?
I have downloaded 2.5-test11-benh and compiled it. (I do not know if with or without XFS). I had the same problem like you (kernel panic). All worked fine after checking on the kernel option ATA/ATAPI...-ProbeInternalATA/100 first (at make menuconfig). HTH, Eugen
