I am using Ubuntu 6.10 live for PPC. Unfortunately, the Debian-live Etch
CD does not work (maybe because I have a G5)
Under Ubuntu, the problem is the same. I unfortunately can not tell if
it already happened before because the last time I used it was to
partition the disk in order to install Etch.
Importantly, I was able to work all day with Mac OS X Tiger, without
having drive problems. (It is installed on the same drive). I tried to
test the memory and found notihing. Somme applications, namely
NeoOffice, Adium, iTerm and Camino crash a lot, and what they have in
common is that I updated them yesterday. However, I also updated
Thunderbird, and it does not crash.
Under Linux, disk error are found on the 20th of August, after the
machine was off for a week, and the real problems started the 27th,
where the disk was remounted ro by the system (The machine was off for
the weekend).
I am really clueless about what happened. On internet, I could read
advices about recompiling the kernel with multimode option, but even if
I would do this on another ppc machine, how could I install it if I can
not mount the drive rw?

Bad luck, it is not installed on Ubuntu's live CD... I will try to use
it from OS X, but I have some work to do as well... (It is a work
computer)

I made a miracle with an iPod and ddrescue in the past :)
Have a nice day,
