| 00:45.53 | blafard | my ibook (2.6.8) goes to sleep or spins down and fails to come back up if I'm running on battery and I close the lid; I've disabled apm, pbbuttonsd, and so on, but it still happens. I can't find anything in the logs or on the internet. People keep telling me it's a bios issue but I can't find any documentation for the bios, nor any evidence of others having had the same issue. Can anyone give me a hint? |
| 00:47.46 | Curalton | only x86 have a "bios", this would be openfirmware here |
| 00:48.15 | skel | blafard: update pmud |
| 00:48.18 | *** join/#debianppc debdog (~kim@202.136.96.220) |
| 00:49.19 | blafard | Curalton, so can you tell me whether this is an open firmware problem, and if so how to fix it? |
| 00:49.46 | Curalton | no, openfirmware has nothing to do with it, try skels suggestions :) |
| 00:49.57 | blafard | skel: I was using pbbuttons, which I thought conflicted with pmud; I had previously been using pmud, and I had the same problem. |
| 00:49.59 | Curalton | my ibook g3 with the same kernel works fine |
| 00:50.03 | skel | blafard: I strongly suggest you check to see if there's a newer version of pmud available as I'll bet thats what's causing your problem |
| 00:50.14 | Curalton | blafard: using sid/sarge? |
| 00:50.20 | skel | blafard: pbbuttons works in conjunction with pmud I thought |
| 00:50.23 | blafard | Curalton, yes. |

| 00:50.53 | blafard | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:50.54 | skel | blafard: is this one of those "oops: errors" ? |
| 00:51.13 | Curalton | blafard: leave it then |
| 00:51.21 | Curalton | blafard: my ppbuttonsd works fine |
| 00:51.31 | Curalton | blafard: indeed, check in "dmesg" |
| 00:51.34 | blafard | when you close the lid it goes to sleep? |
| 00:51.42 | blafard | and when you open it it wakes up? |
| 00:51.48 | Curalton | just that, yes :) |
| 00:51.56 | Curalton | g3 or g4 blafard? |
| 00:51.58 | skel | Curalton: but what kernel are you running? |
| 00:52.03 | Curalton | 2.6.8 |
| 00:52.07 | skel | hmm |
| 00:52.27 | blafard | so what am I looking for in dmesg? That doesn't show me things that happened before I restarted, does it? |
| 00:52.48 | Curalton | check /var/log/messages |
| 00:52.51 | Curalton | or syslog there |
| 00:52.58 | blafard | I have done both, I get nothing. |
| 00:53.00 | Curalton | this is where dmesg output is stored permanently |
| 00:54.11 | blafard | It skips from a "link down" message from when I unplugged the ethernet to "restart" when I manually restarted. |

| 00:54.59 | blafard | er, in case that wasn't clear, I unplugged the ethernet, closed the case, and twenty minutes later came back to open it. |
| 00:55.14 | blafard | so it's like 19:53 link down ... 20:07 restart |
| 00:55.16 | Curalton | ok, link down is eth0 related then |
| 00:55.27 | Curalton | blafard: still, g3 or g4 ibook? |
| 00:55.30 | blafard | g4 |
| 00:55.34 | Curalton | ah! |
| 00:55.38 | Curalton | no wonder :P |
| 00:55.47 | Curalton | still not supported, blame ATI |
| 00:55.51 | Curalton | benh is working on it though |
| 00:55.55 | blafard | okay. |
| 00:56.34 | Curalton | g3 is compleltely supported but in G4 the reverse-engineering is still done since the hw vendors dont publish enough specs |
| 00:57.02 | blafard | where do I go to find out about the progress of this project? |
| 00:58.02 | Curalton | hmm, powerpc mailing list, debian ppc mailinglist |
| 00:58.15 | blafard | okay, thanks. |
| 00:58.17 | Curalton | also check the topic^ links |

| 01:14.46 | mrx2010 | can anyone help me out? I'm trying to install linux on my powermac, 750@0 with openfirmware 2.0f1 but I can't boot from the cd |

| 01:16.50 | pahartik | mrx2010: you can use "BootX" to boot |
| 01:17.25 | mrx2010 | I would rather use yaboot if I could, since I have a new world machine |
| 01:18.43 | pahartik | mrx2010: "750@0"? |
| 01:19.03 | mrx2010 | that's what the openfirware reports its a G3 |
| 01:19.26 | mrx2010 | 750 |
| 01:19.45 | pahartik | mrx2010: ok, i assumed PowerMacintosh 7500, not PowerMacintosh with PowerPC 750... |
| 01:20.20 | mrx2010 | PowerPC, 750 |
| 01:21.37 | pahartik | mrx2010: what kind of CD? |
| 01:22.36 | mrx2010 | I have both IDE and SCSI, I have debian on the IDE and Mandrake on the SCSI and neither will boot so I can install it |
| 01:23.10 | pahartik | mrx2010: if it is Debian woody CD, try Debian sarge CD... |
| 01:25.33 | mrx2010 | k |
| 01:27.30 | mrx2010 | don't really want to use bootX |
