Since there is no manual Charles button It will eject by itself, and then automatically reinsert on reboot. It's kinda wierd ;-) Charles d-i? Sorry, that is jargon I've learned for Debian Installer. Get a recent daily build and I hope you have a fast net connection. http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/powerpc/ Cheers Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: install sarge on dual G5 - quasi-success
Thanks Eric - I was abble to tweak the installation using the knoppix-mib CD, that worked (after many tweaks), however: tip for the fans. modprobe therm_pm72 the modprobe is succesful in the 2.4 kernel, but does nothing to reduce the vacuum-cleaner level of the fans... I couldn't test it in 2.6.5/2.6.6, as the kernel-image packages for those refuse to install, saying: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed FATAL: Module ata_k2 not found. (This is in unstable.) After much googling and grep-ing, I was not able to find a workaround for this. (Creating a symbolic link from some other ata drivers to ata_k2 makes the package install, but hangs on boot immediately). Any ideas? Michal

Hi, Benjamin Herrenschmidt writes: Yet another crappy piece of code tailored for x86 junk ... Get rid of the legacy floppy driver. I thought it was needed on non-Apple hardware, and therefore left it in as a module. Same goes for PS/2 mice. Probably the debian-installer should be taught to not probe for legacy drivers on PowerMacs. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe!

install sarge on dual G5 - hang
Hi - using: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/powerpc/20040525/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso to install sarge on a dual G5 with 'install-(safe-)power4' initially works fine, but then hangs during the stage entitled 'Detecting network hardware' at the step of: Loading module 'floppy' for 'Linux Floppy'... After that, the machine seems to be locked solid. This sounds like it is trying to install modules which are inappropriate for G5s but appropriate for other power4 machines - a problem which I thought had been recently sorted out. Any advice on how to install Debian on such a machine? thanks, Michal

Also, you could try the 2.6 d-i, not sure it would work, but there has been some fixes about this kind of issues which did go in. Maybe Jens can comment on those ? Friendly, Sven Luther
