Kernel 2.6.8-powerpc problems (cdrom, battery notification, dhclient)



Can anyone help me out here?

I have a PowerBook G3 Firewire. I just installed a stock 2.6.8-powerpc kernel
from the Debian archives, and when I rebooted I noticed some problems that maybe
you can help me fix.

First off, I can't mount my cdrom:

:~$ mount /cdrom/
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
:~$

Second, on boot up dhclient tries eth0 and errors out.  But when I manually run
dhclient as super-user, it uses eth1.  Why doesn't this happen at boot, and how
can I get this fixed?

The third and final problem, is that none of my battery notifications are
working right now.  They are reporting that the battery is dead, even though
it's fully charged, and I'm on AC power. Any clues anyone can give me to fix
this?

I know these are noob questions, but I've never dealt with problems like this
before, I'm not familiar with the 2.6.x kernel, and I could really use some
assistance.

Thanks again!
-M.
