hi there,
well, besides the lack of an Xserver yet, i am setting up my system according
to:
http://seb.france.free.fr/linux/ibookG4/iBookG4-howto.html
http://www.twolife.org/debian/ibook.php
but i am getting nowhere fast.
i have installed the latest kernel image from here
http://twolife.free.fr/vrac/ibook/kernel-image-2.6.7_1_powerpc.deb
and also tried everything using debian's 2.6.6-powerpc kernel.
1 - powernowd does not work! with cpu frequency stuff all built
into the 2.6.7 kernel, the modules loaded for 2.6.6 and
sysfs mounted correctly... the folder
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0
is completely empty! no sub folders... nothing!
2 - pbbuttonsd fails with the following:
Setting up pbbuttonsd (0.5.9-1) ...
Starting pbbuttonsd: invoke-rc.d: initscript pbbuttonsd, action "start"
failed.
dpkg: error processing pbbuttonsd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 12
Errors were encountered while processing:
pbbuttonsd
3 - british keymaps are wrong. but i'll get this sorted out soon.
4 - i still can't get X started! and worse yet, it takes my system
with it when it fails, so i have to force a reset.
is anybody else having any joy with installing on a recent iBook? is my system
just totally shafted? help!
