Re: HELP: test kernel patches on the real thing



Hi

I own several PowerPC Hardware on which I could do some testings.
If you need a test user for a PowerMac G5 Quad or Dual 2.5 or iBook G4 12" (1.67Ghz) or PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz Alu just let me know.

Bye

have access to. So, I tried to emulate the behaviour on an ARM board and wrote
a replacement for the old mechanism which works fine here. Now, I wonder if
there are people willing to test these patches on the real thing? This would be
much appreciated! The thread for further information and to discuss this series
is here:

I have a iMac G3 M4984. Is my model old enough? I can do some testing in
one of the coming days.
