Strange iBook G4 hangs
Hello,
My old iBook G3 800 12" has been replaced with G4 800 12" and as I
tried to install Debian on it I have found some problems with it.
I used debian-installer RC2 and after I finally managed to install the
system, but then problems started to arise: the computer often hangs
when I try to install some software with apt-get. I was also trying to
compile 2.6.9 kernel with latest Ben's patches, and I did once, but
later I did not managed to achive it - it just stopped responding at
some point.
I think it might be some cooling problem, but I am not sure how to
check it. Now I am in MAC OS X and downloading all upgrades from Apple.
Computer is up some 4 hours and nothing happens. I put some stress
tests to see if the computer will hang up on MAC OS X, but I achieved
nothing. I suppose then it might be some problem with Linux?
