I still have a few powerpc Macs, both OldWorld and NewWorld.
The oldest one (6100/66) has no Open Firmware, the next one (7600/132)
has OF 1.x, then comes Beige G3 with OF 2.x, and the first NewWorld
machine Blue&White G3 with OF 3.x.
- the 6100 can only run MkLinux on top of Mach microkernel.

Yes, that's it. The file in question is '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'. In
addition to the Monitor section you would probably need at least a
Screen section:
Hi Alex,
iMac G3's monitor is very sensitive to the sync frequency: you must

What firmware version did you have before? Looks like the card has
8.70, and Debian loads 9.48. You could try to rename the file
agere_sta_fw.bin, forcing the card to use its own firmware. I have
seen situations where loading 9.48 gives me WPA but takes away WEP.

The other reason for using Peter's kernel is the page size. The
official kernels use 64 k pages that do not work with nouveau.

I don't know the answer, but I doubt it would help because the problem

Looks like yaboot does not find its conf file any more.
I'm trying to install (CD) Debian on a PowerMac G5 (7,3). Jessie
(yaboot 1.3.16) works.
Stretch (yaboot 1.3.17) does not. It complains:
cd:-1,\install\yaboot.conf: Unable to open file, Invalid device
Or, on a Mac mini G4:
cd:-1,\install\m
There is a good wiki page on this topic:
https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard
In worst case you could edit /etc/default/keyboard directly, and then
reboot to be sure that the changes take effect.
Risto
The machine has a PowerPC processor, it cannot run Intel code. You
would need a PowerPC CD image.
Open Firmware understands a Mac style partition table and an HFS file
system. Those are present on the PowerPC Install CD images (hybrid
CDs, they contain an ISO9660 file system as well).
Risto
I don't remember any PowerPC Macs that wouldn't allow me to enter Open
Firmware. (The early beige series machines, G3 and below, sent the
output to serial port, not screen, by default. It was possible to
change once you got there.)
Some machines require accurate timing to get into Open Firmware. T

Hi Riccardo,
I've applied similar patches with a recipe resembling the following:
- create a file with the patch: mach64.patch
- install dpkg-dev: apt-get install dpkg-dev
- get and extract the package source: apt-get source xf86-video-mach64
- cd into the directory
- apply the patch: patch -p1 -i
One option you might try in your xorg.conf's Section "Device":
Option "NoAccel" "true"

As I already told, it works on my iBook with Squeeze (and Ubuntu,
too). I assume yours is a PowerBook6,5, too?
Looks like snd-aoa is not even trying to support this machine, snd-powermac is.
And Ubuntu 10.04 uses the same version of kernel, 2.6.32. But it is
running pulseaudio on top on snd-power
Hi Mitchell,
I have an almost identical machine: 1.07 Ghz model iBook G4 (early
2004). So I did two simple tests:
First I changed input to Mic in alsamixer, then recoded some sound:
arecord -f cd t.wav
and played it back:
aplay t.wav
Second I played this file:

Hi Rick,
ehci-hcd can take three parameters:
log2_irq_thresh (0-6): log2 IRQ latency, 1-64 microframes
park (1-3): park setting; 1-3 back-to-back async packets
ignore_oc (0-1): ignore bogus hardware overcurrent indications
I don't really know what they mean, and I doubt they would help here,
but
Looks like most (cheap) cards of this type are based on this VIA chipset.
I have some experience of similar cards on older PowerMacs with older
Linux. Some of them work, some exhibit the same -110 error. It also
depends on the connected USB device. In some cases removing ehci

Hi,
Looks like the problem is somehow related to hal. If I stop it
(/etc/init.d/hal stop), the machine remains usable (some functionality
probably lacking). Otherwise it 99% hangs after some minutes,
typically during the post-processing phase of aptitude install. I
managed to run aptitude safe-upg
We (thank you, Tom, for testing) have found a solution to the
remaining problem with silent Pro Speakers (2.5 mm jack). A patched
(debug) version of the (snd-powermac) driver is available at:

I wish I could. It's seems to be quite irregular, and won't show up
when I'm ready.
The installation of Squeeze/Sid (netinst CD) went normally until, at
some point, hal started to poll the CD drive and give odd

Sorry. I have to take back my words. Partly. Lenny froze also in the
end. Similarly but differently. This time 99%sy, hald-addon-storage
running wild. So it's even possible that there's something wrong in
the hardware.

After installing Squeeze on a PowerBook G3 Lombard, I cannot avoid
sounding negative. Compared to Lenny...
What is most important when it comes to computers? Stability, I guess.
The machine practically stops after some minutes. Top shows 99%wa
(iowait). Bug in ide driver?

Hi Pat,
I think I've seen this before on another kind of machine, probably a
PowerBook G4.
I believe I solved it by disabling the default window manager (compiz)
by replacing it with metacity (metacity --replace &). It can also be
set as default wm in gconf-editor:
/desktop/gnome/applications/win

Hi Lee,
I can report that it works on my Mac mini.
One difference might be that I use a monitor, Nokia 400 Xa, that can
provide its supported refresh rates etc., the TV perhaps cannot.
Another reason could be the new feature in kernel, KMS, that I have
disabled, by adding a file:
/etc/modprobe.

It's probably because of the frame buffer problem that's been
discussed in bug #614221.
As a workaround, try: install video=ofonly.

I tested on my iMac G4 with nVidia graphics. Same problem, the penguin

Another odd phenomenon on this machine: i
I would try video=ofonly.
