Hi,
When installing debian-sarge-netinst for PowerPC rc3 on an iBook it prints a
message like "500 printk messages suppressed" every couple of seconds. Does
anyone know what this is? It was so annoying I had to power off the machine.
I couldn't even switch to another vterm without that filling up the screen.
It's possible I screwed up the installation trying to figure out how to switch
to other virtual terminals. The instructions in the installation guide were
wrong, or I misinterpreted them. I switched by holding down ALT-LEFT (the
guide said something about F1 and so on, but that didn't work and confused
the installer.)
Thanks,
James
My experiences with virtual consoles on debian required me to set a usb
keyboard, but since you are on an ibook I don't think you need to do
that, and please correct me list if I am wrong.
also the keys were left contol and left command and then F1 or F2, etc,
the debian woody installer explained that one, I don't know if it was
fixed or changed but even after I did the dist-upgrade to sarge the keys
were still the same. I even reinstalled woody and did another
dist-upgrade, before changing the keymap. Ofcourse Virtual Consoles
didn't work, So I ran dpkg-reconfigure console-data and selected the
Apple USB Keyboard, and voila they worked. (Again with left control left
command, and F1, F2, etc...)
