Hi all-
I tried to boot a 2.6.14.3-ppc kernel on a new iMac G5 (20"/2.1GHz)
PowerMac12,1, it crashed after about 4 or 5 lines of kernel messages,
and the OF promt was back scrolling endless.... need to manually
power off to recover.
Is there any Linux kernel variant known to boot successfully on such
a machine?
Not yet. I'm currently working on support for the new machines, that
includes the new iMac G5 with iSight, and the dual core G5s. They
have a
new chipset that needs a bit of work. Hopefully, I'll have a patch
soon,
probably tomorrow, with some basic support but no thermal control yet.
I'll need testers with the new iMac as I don't have access to one
though, I'll let you know. The thermal control will come soon after
that.
Ben.
