I think that the 2.7 GHz machines need a newer kernel. You might want to look into the ChangeLog of linux-2.6.12-rc5, I know that there are fixes for exactly those machines in it. You can then build such kernel and netboot it. If you can't build one, you can ask in #gentoo-ppc64 on Freenode.

I don't know that specific patch, but preemption on PowerPC isn't what you actually want. It causes programs to crash because of a corrupted cache. It used to work when one enabled SMP, but I'm not sure wether this is still the case.

Maybe, maybe not. It's not what I asked for. Read the output of "grep machine /proc/cpuinfo". There you'll find something like "PowerBook7,2" (the numbers are the important ones). I'm asking because on some models the sound is not yet supported. But there's a driver in development (snd-aoa, [1]). > Is there a way to run audio apps safely on a PPC processor using > Linux? I'm sure there is. You have always the source code at hand and can modify it to make it better. > Anyway, what would you suggest I do to get stable audio on a PPC? Unfortunately, I don't have much expierience with professional audio on any platform. Sound output works on my G5 and one of my PowerBooks while another one doesn't have its sound chip supported yet (but will with snd-aoa). Digital output is said not to work for now, but it's planned to be included in snd-aoa once they figure it out. Oh, and please learn how to quote. First and last warning from me.

Can you please post the kernel output, which you gather using netconsole, on an http server? I guess your kernel is missing some option, but I'm not sure which.

Most proably the "modules" target isn't a dependency of vmlinux. "make vmlinux modules && make modules_install" should do it if you want (untested). However, "make && make modules_install" makes sure everything needed is built.

You need to recompile it with FEATURES="nostrip" and possibly

C{,XX}FLAGS, in case you have it. Depending on where the crash happens,
you may have to recompile not only KDE, but also other packages from
KDE's dependencies.
