lenny on powerbook g4



Hello,

I like to share some information on running lenny on my powerbook g4. More information on hardware and features is attached.

* On installation I run into a freeze, once more at the point when the time was configured but that's not the point as I found out. I have a pcmcia memory card adapter with a 1GB MMC inserted, FAT formated. That's recognized as drive hdc. dmesg shows that there is a problem with that, lost interrupt. Get's me about the time when it comes to the time setting. No problem when the pcmcia card is off.

* I have to login twice into gdm. Don't find any error logged for that.

* graphic performance was very poor until I installed libgl1-mesa- dri . Would be fine if it would be a dependancy to xserver-xorg.

And I have a lot questions, the most urgent one is: What's the state of the art to get wlan to work? bmc43xx and wpa_supplicant are set up and I can see wlan networks but can't connect. Or should I switch to madwifi and the b43(legacy) way?

Hope that's a little help?

Ralf
