Re: PowerBook G3 Wallstreet Hang Using Debian Kernel

I'm able to reproduce the hang on my Wallstreet (266 MHz, 512 MiB)
using an updated Debian SID and the Debian kernel/initrd. However, the
hang doesn't happen on my PowerBook Lombard or Pismo. As you've
reported, the symptoms are that the screen goes blank and the
backlight stays on, and the system freezes (Linux doesn't boot).
I wonder if there is a connection with the freezes I am seeing on my
iBook first generation. I was running 6.5 kernel with no issues, working
framebuffer and X11.
What videocard does your Wallstreet have? ATI Rage LT ? I think It quite
similar to the Rage (non-128) I have.
Latest 6.16 kernel from Debian freezes during boot, the output is not
black... but who knows what is around with VRAM. Using debian snapshots
I determined that 6.12 also works for me. Further investigation in the
future.
Are you able to test with debian snapshots. Your use of video=ofonly is
interesting, need to check in the bootloader how to do it. It supports
only two kernels, it is cumbersome.
