2.6.8.1 success
Hello all... So I finally got a 2.6.x kernel to boot, and give me a serial console on my Beige G3/266 DT. Of course, I still don't get why I can't have a regular console for my voodoo3 card, but I can boot, and get X working, etc. Networking gave me a bit of trouble, but nothing I can't fix. On another note, I tried to do a serial console for 2.4.27, and it gets stuck at Freeing unused memory: 184k init 4k chrp 36k prep I can boot normal without the serial console, and see the console, but this is a curiosity...

2.6.8.1 doesn't boot
Hello all...now that I've gotten my serial console to work, I've got a log to share. At the very bottom of the log, I get stuck there, no more boot activity after that. After a few minutes, I reboot.

Success: serial console works...
Hello all! A couple of weeks ago I was working with trying to get my Beige G3/266 DT to do serial output to serial console. I finally got it right, after much reading, and lots of help from this list! I don't know if changing the nvram had anything to with it, but I setenv (or whatever the command is) to ttyb (instead of ttya, since I'm lazy, and didn't want to take out the built in modem card in ttya). I'm thinking that this is for OF serial output, though, from what I was told. I have a 68k mac, running Mac OS (though I have Linux on it, too), that I installed kermit on. That's my console window. I tried minicom, and I might again, but this was simply to test that the cable worked! I have a printer cable running from the G3's printer port to the 68k's modem port. I ran kermit on both in Mac OS on both machines, again, just to test that the cable worked. It works. :) I had also been told that I need a kernel with serial console compiled in. Did not know that, so I compiled my kernel with serial console configured. In BootX, I put the line (among the other things I've got in there): console=ttyS1,9600n8. (This is the default setting for kermit, so I just used that for both sender and receiver) Click the linux button, and PRESTO! my kermit terminal in Mac OS on the 68k machine registers output from my G3. Unfortunately, I get to where it says Freeing unused memory... and there I sit. But the first part, at least, works. I'll redo my kernel and see if that has any impact. Maybe I forgot something important. Thanks to everyone who helped! Russell

Works fine between a 6400 and a beige G3 here, both running Debian -- i use minicom to access the serial port. Q: How many support techs does it take to change a lightbulb?

That way when I search for this again, someone will have something useful for me to find! I've searched and searched and searched, and here I am, asking questions. By the way, the Mac's Open Firmware serial console is on the modem port, not the printer port of the mac. So the internal modem has to come out? This is configurable, just set OF's 'output-device' and 'input-device' accordingly. Or is this something I can go into OF and change? The problem is that the output-device in OF won't be /dev/ttyS1 or whatever.

Oldworld Serial Console
Hello all...I've got a Beige G3/266 w/ voodoo3 card, that doesn't give console output in 2.6.x kernels. So...I want to do a serial console to some other machine. I'm hoping there is some way to do this with BootX and either my printer port and printer cable to another mac running linux, or using some store bought cable that goes from my printer port to rs232 to a x86 pc running linux. Has anyone done this? And if so, how? I'm running sarge, BTW... TIA! Russell

Anyway, I don't know if it runs under emulation mode; probably not, because it never was a 68k app. It _does_ boot the computer, into Linux ... not sure what you were after. The emulation mode I guess for OSX vs OS9 is blue box if you take the old terminology. You can visually see a difference in the icon on the OS9 side vs the OSX side. I figure that the BootX icon will look different when seen from the OSX side than from the OS9 side. Anyway, the point is that maybe what'll happen is that you're running OSX, you click on the BootX icon, the OS9 emulation-ish environment will boot you select your options, etc., in BootX, click the Linux button, and poof...what happens next?

Re: 2.6-test1 on ppc?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Not having tried to compile any recent Linus kernel on powerpc or elsewhere, I might be wrong, but from my experience it's always been the case that different architectures each had their own development trees and their own (rather small) development communities. It's always been up to you to figure out where to get cutting edge kernel sources, and to deal with problems yourself as they show up. Advice like 'better stick with 2.4.21-benh' might just mean that - unless you want to spend your time fixing patch rejects or compile errors and risk kernel crashes, just use the stable powerpc branch (which happens to be maintained by Ben). Since I'm not a hacker, I'm willing to compile and test for PowerPC, mainly because I want a working 2.6.0 kernel when it comes out. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but I'll do what I can to make it happen. If that means complaining a bit, I can do that! :-) Otherwise, join the exclusive community of kernel developers (they keep secret resources such as the linux-kernel and linuxppc-dev mailing lists) and join in to the fun. I call it exclusive because there seems to be a members-only-club mentality about accepting complaints about simple things like, It won't compile etcI'm happy to be wrong about this. If you're not skilled in kernel hacking, why bother with 2.5 or 2.6? First...I was inspired to start working with this kernel by an article in Linux Journal in March, 2003 (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6740). So... Another secret piece of information: Linus' tree has always been pretty useless on the less popular architectures. Use Alan Cox' branch as a starting point if there's no proper powerpc devel tree (which I doubt). Yeah, but I'm all about vanilla! Ice cream, kernels... Not sure what the toolchain stuff is about, do you have any details on that? Yes...well, this is only based on what I've been told...but Module-Init-Tools is something that the new kernel requires, but woody doesn't have this piece of software...I've also personally got a funny problem since I've got the appropriate version of binutils, but the kernel compiler doesn't think so; it tells me I've got the wrong version.

I created a new kernel, copied to the kernels folder in my System Folder, fired up BootX, and it crashed. I attempted a reboot to see what would happen if it loaded from extensions, and it crashed the whole machine. Simple workaround: take out some of the old, bloated kernels! And all is well...

Re: getting audio cd sound to work
Okay...that solution works! Of course, now my volume is very loud. How do I deal with that? :-) Too bad about the arts stuff, though. I'll head on over to kde and complain on that bug... Thanks for your help! Russell On Friday 14 March 2003 11:40 am, Frank Murphy wrote: I tried to solve this problem this week as well. It seems that it's not possible to play audio CDs in KDE (through arts) on NewWorld ppc machines. KsCD doesn't actually read the CD data, but controls the track movement and relies on the CD/soundcard direct connection (which doesn't exist on NewWorld macs). So it's silence. (See KDE bug #44216, and vote on it!) It seems that the only GUI music player to support reading the data from the CD itself is xmms. (Install the xmms-cdread module and activate it in xmms.) However, while there is an xmmsarts package as well, it wasn't written with endian issues in mind. So trying to use it ends up with white noise. Actually, there is a workaround to the xmmsarts problem. Call xmms with the artsdsp program, like so: $ artsdsp xmms Then configure xmms to use the normal OSS output. Also, supposedly noatun supports cd playing as well. Type in audiocd:/dev/cdrom in the file selection dialog. It seems to want to rip all the tracks before playing though. But, there is no clean way to play audio CDs with arts. Frank

Re: Beige G3 266 installation
As I went along, I discovered System Disk 2.3.1 and patched my broken firmware. I also installed BootVars, so that I can change the load-base if I need to and looked around for BootX parameters that may be needed. Uh...you don't need BootVars. BootX (what version are you running?) should be just fine. I don't know (or remember) right off the top what parameters you should use to go with BootX, but the only ones I can think of relate to video (for me, since I run with a voodoo3 card)...I'm sure someone can point out the correct things to put into your parameters. So, here I am... I am using BootX with no video driver checked (is this the same as video=ofonly?), and I am sending hda=noautotune to the kernel, because the install halts while mounting / otherwise. That's odd...I know that Linux is more sensitive with bad hardware than the Mac OS is...perhaps you should try a different kernel? Any assistance (or avian sacrifices) would be appreciated.

Re: No sound on PowerMac G3
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hmmm...a couple of things. As I recall, you have to add yourself to the group to be able to get sound. I don't know whether this is still the case or not. (Somebody help me on this!) Another thing is how you boot. Currently, I have to boot all the way into the MacOS, then boot into Linux using BootX. If you're using miBoot or quik to boot, then you may not be able to get sound because the Mac OS has to initialize the sound driver, and that requires going all the way into the Mac OS...but I'm using 8.6 for my Mac OS. HTH, and I hope I'm right! :-) Russell On Thursday 21 March 2002 17:58 pm, Niklaus Giger wrote: I recently bought a PowerMac G3 and had no trouble do a netinstall based on the http://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/releases/20020215/woody_netinst-200 20215-powerpc.iso Thank you very much for your work!

2.4.18 kernel oops report
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 - -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello! Here it is: the oops report...I have a problem with kernel oopses. I'm running a Powermac G3 266 Desktop, with standard everything, except I've got a Voodoo3 card for my monitor and a PCI USB Card. I've got 392 (?) MB RAM, a SCSI Drive and two IDE drives. I'm running a stock 2.4.18 kernel that I got from kernel.org, and this oops has happened before on previous stock kernels (2.4.17 in particular). I'm sure that sound is part of the problem. I boot into Linux using BootX, and usually boot all the way into the MacOS (8.6) to get sound. Sometimes I have a hard crash, and when I boot back into Linux (going all the way into MacOS), I get kernel errors while fsck is doing its thing. If I just boot into Linux using the Choose Your OS panel at startup, fsck is able to proceed without any problem, but I also have no sound...and no oopses, either. I've run ksymoops through kern.log and syslog after the oops, but the syslog is more like what I think is necessary to be reported...if you need more, let me know directly...I'm hesitant to send my System.map to the mailing list, it's kinda big!

More macromedia flash player
Hello, A couple of months ago I wrote about how to get the macromedia flash player working, since there is one for the x86 architecture. There was a response from Edouard G. Parmelan who said that he had packaged (?) the free player from http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/ . But I haven't heard anything about this since. I went to this site and downloaded the source, but I'm having a terrible time trying to compile it. Has anyone else had any success? I did searches for anything macromedia flash related in the packages pages, and didn't find too much... Thanks for any info... Russell
USB Printing Troubles

Re: usb printer via pci usb card
Now add a printer with the web based tool, and it should work. Okay, this is where I'm failing. I go through with the web based tool (localhost:631), and it tells me to add a printer. Which option do I pick? IPP? Serial? I don't see USB... There was one thing I had to tweak by hand though, CUPS did not let me choose /dev/usb/lp0 for the printer port, Where do you get to make this choice? so I had to first add a printer with /dev/lp0, and then edit the /etc/cups/printers.conf and change it to /dev/usb/lp0, it worked fine then. I hope this helps. It definitely helps. Thank you. I'm staying away from KUPS for now... Russell if that all works, then there is something wrong with KUPS I guess. Best wishes, Tuomas
usb printer via pci usb card

Re: Errors in sid xserver-xfree86 configuration
I updated from sid on my powermac 8500 a couple days ago. I had two problems with the configuration of an updated package, I'm pretty sure it was the xserver-xfree86 package. I have 4.1.0-13 now (PowerPC). I'm reporting this to the Debian-PowerPC list because the first problem was specific to macintosh. Nope. I had a similar problem on i386. Except I upgraded from potato to woody, and my X config went away, and I just got the prompt. I had to install xserver-xfree86 and a few other things (apt-get didn't get all of the dependencies) to get my gui back. Russell On Wednesday 16 January 2002 09:35 pm, Michael D. Crawford wrote: In the one item that gets configured, it says that Macintosh users need to enter their PCI bus identifier for their video card. Users of multiple video cards need to do this too. However, my Macintosh uses onboard video ram for its video. I don't think there is a PCI device for the video at all. That would have been the case for a Mac 9500, but not a Mac 8500. I didn't see anything about it when I did the lspci command. The other problem is that the new configuration nuked my existing XF86Config-4 settings. When I restarted X, it went back to 640x480. I had to run, I think it was dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to get my proper video back. Mike

Re: Upgrading Mac-side kernel for BootX
If you keep your kernels in a folder in your system folder, I suggest putting the kernel folder on your shared partition, and then making an alias of that folder and putting the alias in your system folder. That way when you copy the vmlinux file over to the kernel folder and then reboot, your newly copied kernel will be available in the BootX kernel menu...

Re: 2.4.x kernel crashing
Okay, accepting for the moment that when the kernel dies, I can't read the console to find out what went wrong, what else can I do to figure out what's wrong? Which kernel or other system logs would tell me? I do know that for some reason, heavy disk activity kills the kernel.

2.4.x kernel crashing
Hey everyone, I've written about this before, but I've specific questions now ;-) I'm running stock 2.4.16, self compiled, on a Beige G3/266, with KDE as my window manager. I get random crashes with any 2.4.x kernel. I would like to use xmon to figure out what's wrong so that I can get it fixed, but I can't see the terminal/console because when I crash, the top portion of my screen becomes artifacts that I can't read (the rest of it is dead). I can't switch to another console, but at the very least, at the top of the screen, I get a blinking cursor that I know is in a shell mode with xmon. I want to record this xmon info to a file, which I tried, but it didn't save. I don't know where to get documentation on xmon so I can figure out how to save to a file (since I'm unable to read the screen). Can anyone help? Thanks! Russell
sound and 2.4.16
Hello everyone, I've got a PMac G3/266, running a 2.4.16 kernel, and my sound is still funky with it. Sound works fine with a 2.2.x kernel...funny thing is that with the 2.4.16 kernel, my cdplayer works, but not xmms. Neither does my sound server control panel in kde. In fact, I can crash xmms and the sound server control panel. I compiled the two default sound modules first as modules (which didn't work the sound at all), but when I compiled them directly into the kernel, at least I can get sound from my cd player...

Re: kdelibs3 upgrade problem
What if you try upgrading all these together? Why did the dist-upgrade fail in the first place? I did try at one point. Kept getting stuck at the point where there was some conflict over what .png files would be overwritten by kdebase vs. kdelibs3. I think that there is something wrong with the dependencies. The upgrade from the previous version of kde to 2.2.1 I think is part of the problem. I finally figured something out by downloading kdelibs3 separately, and then forcing it to install, forcing the overwrite. This caused other problems, though. While it allowed for the upgrade of kde, kmail didn't upgrade, so I was stuck with it being the lower version (1.2, IIRC), which caused all sorts of other problems with my mail. I submitted a bug report to the kde-kmail team, and got the following reply: Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tuesday 20 November 2001 15:18, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Package: kmail Version: 1.2 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) KMail 1.2 is not supposed to work on KDE 2.2.1.

I appreciate the advice. Russell Should I file a bug report? Or wait a few more days? Try apt-get install kdelibs3 kdebase. That file was apparently moved from the kdebase to the kdelibs3 package. Such cases lead to conflicts if the two packages aren't upgraded at the same time.

X crash on login
Hello every, After my nightly apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade, I reboot this morning to discover that X crashes when I attempt to login through kdm. After about the third crash, I get dropped to a shell, where I can login to the command line, and type startx, but that crashes, too. I don't want to include the entire log file, so the relevant part is listed below. I haven't changed anything related to the configuration that always worked in the past, so I have to assume that it's a change in X somewhereI'm running woody, by the way... Thanks for the help!

Re: How to Change resolution?
I did as you suggested, but still I'm having no luck! I can send a copy of my XF86Config-4 file if necessary. The Ctrl-Alt- Keypad +/- doesn't work for me when I'm in the console that should be kde...What else can I try? Russell Laurent de Segur wrote: Russell, Why vi? Can't you just use emacs? ;-) Because I've got trouble with one OS; emacs is an OS all by itself :-D su - cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.OLD (you never know) open /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with your fav editor. look for Section Screen, and for each SubSection Display, change the Modes lines with your monitor value (i.e. 800x600) I used Ctrl-Alt- Keypad +/- under KDE on a PeeSee to switch resolutions on the fly. I don't know if this will work for you. YMMV.

Resent-From: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Well, silly me. I should have also asked this question as well: what exactly do I need to change in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to get the resolution to change? Also, is there a utility I could use to do that, not that I mind typing in vi to do the dirty work... Thanks again! Russell
How to Change resolution?
Hello everyone, I'm wondering how to change the resolution for kde. What happens is that I boot into Linux, and the resolution starts at 800x600, but when kde comes up, the resolution changes to 1152x870. Where is this information kept? (As in, what config file?) I'm temporarily with a smaller monitor that can't handle the higher resolution, so I want to make it more reasonable for what I've got at 800x600. Thanks for any help! Russell

XFree86 update question
Hello everyone, I did my normal apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade for woody last night, and when XFree86 [server] | [common] | [whatever] replaces the version that was there before, it completely replaces my keymap with something else. In order to fix this problem, I have reboot the computer, rather than just restart X. I was particularly frustrated last night as I was working with zope, and I lost all ability to do anything until I rebooted. Thank goodness my mouse still worked :-) Besides that, I get asked a few questions about new settings or staying with defaults and I can't even say what I want to do since the keys are all messed up... Is there something that can be done about that? What causes that, anyway, user error on my part? ;-) Russell
