Hi,
Maybe this information is not precise enough... is it an iMac or a
PowerMac ? What does cat /proc/cpu says ?
Power Mac G5. The output was "no such file or directory".
/proc/cpuinfo
Tha command returned the following:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

I have a iMac (8,1) on which had to recompile a debian 2.6.15
kernel in
order to enable the fan control.

No one has mentioned this on the ubuntu-users list yet. I am a
newbie, so I would need help if I had to do this. First and foremost
however, a kernel patch AFIK isn't possible when using a live-CD and
I am unsure as to whether or not I can do a quick enough install to
avoid any potential damage with my fans revving.
Well, the ubuntu kernel is fully different from the debian kernel,
and has
absolutely no relationship, except the occasional patch exchange,
so ...
The problem here is that Debian doesn't make it's own live-CD. I
didn't realize that the kernels were so different between Debian
based distros. Is there anyone on the list that has a G5 and is
running Debian? How can I resolve this issue?
Fabbionne, when he was maintaining the ubuntu kernel used to talk
to us, but
since maintainership changed for the ubuntu kernels, this is no
more the case.

I'll pass this on to the Ubuntu list and ask why. Seems strange to me.
Cheers,
Brian
