| 00:01.11 | giantrobot | the error message said I needed to have binutils -- but I had binutils installed, and even a more current version than they needed |
| 00:01.34 | giantrobot | you are recommending 2.6.7-powerpc? |

| 00:03.07 | jono | hi all |
| 00:03.42 | jono | my keyboard is working, but I cant get the hash sign that you get in Mac OS X by pressing alt-3 - how canI fix this? |
| 00:03.42 | giantrobot | so pick up the sid/sarge 2.6.8 kernel image and I'll be happy again? |
| 00:05.14 | kimo_sabe | giantrobot: I'd hope so |
| 00:05.43 | jono | arrr, can any 'ye man help me oot with my problem, aaaarr? |
| 00:06.08 | giantrobot | wish I could, I'm new |
| 00:06.38 | jono | arrr |
| 00:08.28 | giantrobot | so do I want kernel-image-2.6.8-power3 since I'm running a G3? |
| 00:08.45 | giantrobot | or do I want kernel-image-2.6.7-powerpc |
| 00:09.08 | giantrobot | will apt-get install kernel-image... do all the work or should I install the source? |

| 03:58.02 | giantrobot | hello |
| 03:58.19 | giantrobot | I just installed the newest 2.6.8 kernel using "apt-get install kernel image" |
| 03:58.23 | giantrobot | I used the ppc variation |
| 03:58.47 | giantrobot | I am confused about if and how inetd nukes my yaboot setup |
| 04:00.14 | giantrobot | I set up the symlinks correctly, and configured my yaboot normally to lead to the right images, but when I get to the booting time, yaboot can't find the root drive: it says that the root linux drive (that the kernel is on) is not accessable |
| 04:00.25 | giantrobot | does this problem sound familiar to anyone, and if so, does anyone know how to kick it? |
| 04:01.25 | Rn | hm |
| 04:01.34 | Rn | 2.6.8 is fucked up beyond any recognition |
| 04:01.36 | Rn | don't use it |

| 04:02.05 | giantrobot | oh |
| 04:02.25 | giantrobot | what do you recommend |
| 04:02.26 | giantrobot | ? |
| 04:13.13 | Rn | 2.6.7 |
| 04:13.22 | Rn | 2.4.x from the benh |
| 04:13.42 | giantrobot | 2.4.x from benh has led to nothing but pain for me |
| 04:13.53 | giantrobot | I am using an ibook 800mhz G3 |
| 04:14.14 | giantrobot | dealing with the varied XFree86 problems has been a nightmare and a kernel with framebuffer support is a must |
| 04:15.38 | Rn | yeah it's a pain |
| 04:15.41 | sloopy | benh kernels have always been good for me... |
| 04:15.53 | Rn | you know, i recall something about a kernel from giantrobot website |
| 04:16.03 | Rn | and i could never figure out what that was referring to |
| 04:16.06 | Rn | is that possibly you? |

| 10:02.11 | pw | Hi kids! |
| 10:02.43 | pw | Is there a known limitation in the CDROM drive of a lime green iMac (266 MHz) that will stop it reading CD-R discs? |
| 10:04.57 | pahartik | pw: it does not notice any CD-R discs? |
| 10:05.33 | pw | pahartik: I only have the ones I burned the ISOs onto to test with. It reads and boots from regular CDs (iMac software restore, OSX installation) just fine. |
| 10:05.48 | pw | Bung one of my CD-Rs in, though, and it offers to format it for me (!) |
| 10:06.40 | pw | The same disc is readable in the PC, but that doesn't prove much; the PC is equipped with DVD-capable reader and writer drives, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. |
| 10:11.46 | pahartik | pw: if you find CD-R or CD-RW discs of any brand that get read fine... |

| 10:13.17 | pw | pahartik: Well, I've just rummaged around and found an old Woody installer disc for x86. I'll see if the box will at least read it. |
| 10:13.24 | *** part/#debianppc eg (~eg@ip113-38.adsl.wplus.ru) |
| 10:15.07 | pw | Hmm. It doesn't read that, either. |
| 10:18.46 | pahartik | pw: CD-ROM drive of my PowerMacintosh 5500 does not like some brands of CD-RW, but some others work fine |
| 10:21.28 | pahartik | pw: if you want to install Linux, start installer from local harddisk and then install from network... |
| 10:26.22 | pahartik | pw: or then you could try to clean up that CD-ROM device and see if it helps |
| 10:27.01 | *** join/#debianppc Mozillion (paul@power.hr127.vtilburg.net) |
| 10:28.03 | pahartik | pw: but when trying to clean it up, it might actually get worse if you do not know how to do it |
| 10:28.20 | pw | pahartik: I know about cleaning CDROM drives - and you're right :) |
| 10:28.35 | pw | I'm rapidly arriving at the conclusion that this drive cannot read CDR discs. |
| 10:28.52 | pw | Which I find astounding, to be honest. |
| 10:31.11 | pahartik | pw: i think it has originally been able to read most CD-R and CD-RW media... |
