Issues with Debian testing on a ppc B&W Mac G3?
Hi!
Are there some known issues running Debian testing on a powerpc
Blue&White Mac G3?
I installed Debian stable on my G3 a while ago (April 2003) and that was
working correctly (except Samba which I had to restart every other day
or so).
Lately I wanted to play with some C# and Java dev (namely Mono and
Eclipse packages) so I used apt-get dist-upgrade to move the system to a
Debian testing. That was a couple weeks ago. Now the system is unstable.
When I try to log on the system in the morning, nothing happens -- the
terminal doesn't come up and I can't do remote ssh (but ping works).
That happens once in a while, 3 times in two weeks. During the day I'm
generally connected from another computer using ssh and a screen
session, and I noticed the screen session would simply day after some
time (seems random though).
I don't seem to be able to pin point the fault to one given package or
anything.
The last important note is that I haven't changed the kernel -- I was
and I'm still running a 2.4.20 that I compiled myself.
So I am wondering if there's some place on the net where I can get a
status of stability of debian testing on a PPC G3 or if I should submit
bugs reports (quite frankly I don't find "generic" bugs reports as this
too useful).
Hints, ideas or help appreciated
Regards
Raphael
