The nominal capacity of my battery is 3600mAh and my currect max_charge value is 2549. 70%—the same as yours. My battery is now 33 months old. I can increase the capacity considerably, if I discharge my battery until the moment before it dies. At me this happens if the voltage goes below 9V. Doing this (everytime) I've got it from 2000mAh back to 2800mAh.

No. Linux and OS X are software. A keyboard is hardware. It's the same
thing with mice. Don't buy an Apple mouse if you want more than one key.
If I sit in front of a keyboard with an Apple logo, I expect an Apple
keyboard. If I see the @ sign engraved on the L key, I expect I get it
when I press Modifier+L.
Which problems do you have, when you load the pc105 layout? Aren't it work?

pbbuttonsd gets SIGKILL when suspending
Hi, my pbbuttonsd dies sometimes while suspending the system to RAM. It gets a SIGKILL, but I don't know from where and when. Is it possible to create a coredump upon SIGKILL? How? What could be the reason? It happens not often and I can't reproduce it. But I tend to say it happens often when there were many changes to the file system (apt-get dist-upgrade) and the buffer need the be flushed.

The daemon died. Does the kernel send under some circumstances SIGKILL to a process? I have no explanation for this. The only thing I know, I hit Shift+Power which triggers the suspend in pbbuttonsd, but the system does not suspend and pbbuttonsd has quit with exit code 137.

Suspend to RAM on iBook with 2.6.24 doesn't work
Hi, I've an iBook G4 800MHz. When suspending to RAM my iBook (with pbbuttons) the system switches to an empty console (coming from X) and stays. Noting happens. It looks like the suspend instruction doesn't work. The capslock key works, but others do not—I didn't check the numlock key. I can't switch back to the first console or X. Does anyone else can confirm this problem? Bye, Jörg. -- chinesiches Sprichwort: Wer fragt, ist ein Narr für fünf Minuten.

Your interfaces misses a rule for work.
This is my wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ap_scan=1

### Associate with any open access point

eap=TTLS
anonymous_identity="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
identity=""
password=""
ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/FSU.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"

And this is my /etc/network/interfaces:

wpa_driver wext

Does someone use grub?
Hi, does someone of you use grub on PowerPC? I thought about replacing yaboot by grub, but a deeper look showed I have to do stuff by hand, i.e. it misses a default configuration. Is it worth to do it? Is grub better than yaboot? Can grub boot OS X and from CD, i.e. that what enablecdboot in yaboot offers?

I would much more prefer to get prompted for the correct time, because
with a wrong time fsck fail due to the last fsck is in the future. But I
don't know how to do prompting in init scripts correctly.
And to guess if the hardware clock is wrong I think we can look at the
installation time of the module directory of the kernel.
/boot/vmlinux-$(uname -r) is possible, too.

Yes, it has ext4 support. :)

Maybe, but I found a better way.
Installing grub isn't as difficult as I thought, if you know what to do.
So I want to give a short explanation what I did.
1. install the package grub-ieee1275
2. if you don't get the file /boot/grub/grub, you have to build it with
% grub-mkelfimage -o /boot/grub/grub -v \
$(cd /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/; echo *.mod |sed s/.mod//g)
You can create a smaller grub image if necessary by only using the
modules you really needed for accessing /boot/grub, i.e. not the
modules for foreign filesystems.
3. install grub on the boot partition by
% hmount /dev/hda2
% hcopy /boot/grub/grub :
% humount
or if your kernel supports hfs mount the filesystem directly and copy
the file there.
4.
a) If you only want to use grub, nothing else, you can try to boot
grub from OpenFirmware. Reboot the machine and press Option +
Command + o + f. At the OpenFirmware prompt enter
0> boot hd:2,grub prefix=(hd,4)/boot/grub
while 2 is the partition number of the filesystem where you placed
grub on and 4 is the partition number of your root filesystem resp.
the filesystem that contains /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
If grub starts and you can boot Linux, you can make this the
default setting.
# nvsetenv boot-device "hd:2,grub prefix=(hd,4)/boot/grub"
b) If you want to boot OS X or have a nice menu where you can select to
boot from cd, you can use the OpenFirmware boot file below and boot
hd:2,\:tbxi. It's the boot file of yaboot a little bit modified. With
this you can still use yaboot, if you want. Place the file on the
boot partition. It assumes OS X is installed on hda3.
% hmount /dev/hda2
% hcopy ofboot.b :
% humount
If you used yaboot until now, you have nothing to do, otherwise
you should set the boot device to
# nvsetenv boot-device 'hd:2,\:tbxi'
The grub version 1.96+20090603-2 has a bug which causes grub doesn't find
the root filesystem. #533898 I've worked around this bug with this patch
for /etc/grub.d/10_linux. It removes the (re‐)setting of the variable
root.

I might unconsciously work around this problem by passing a prefix option
to grub
nvsetenv boot-device "hd:2,grub prefix=(hd,4)/boot/grub"
This might make the root unnecessary.

I recommend grub2, but I'm not sure if the Squeeze installer supports grub2.

Has anyone an idea how to invetigate these ugly kernel crashes on boot up. Netconsole doesn't work, because the NIC isn't up and ready at the time of the crash.

But as far as I read about this new feature on the net, it is only for special devices they preserve somehow the memory content. General purpose machines don't have this feature. I suspect these devices have a kind of nvram where the oops log is saved. Bye, Jörg. -- Das Recht, seine Meinung zu wechseln, ist eines der wichtigsten menschlichen Privilegien.

Is Open Firmware prompt slower than 9600? (Bug#586953)

Does someone else experienced that the Open Firmware prompt is very slow? Is it possible to adjust this?

A big problem is that MOL does require a patched kernel, i.e. the module can't be built without patching the kernel itself. There was some work upstream to get MOL into the mainline kernel, but it seems to have died. Maybe Greg Kroah-Hartman would help, but I think the interest in MOL is near zero. Hence, I second the request to orphan MOL and remove it from Debian. Bye, Jörg. -- [dpkg] We are the apt. Resistance is futile.

Is there any chance to get this patch merged upstream? I've asked Joseph Jezak, the author, if he plans to do so, but I didn't get an answer. Is someone else skilled to review the patch and push it upstream? I'm using it since 2.6.37 and had no problems.
