| 21:19.33 | marchino | have someone got problems with bcm43xx and wpa? i got. i cannot be connected for more then few minutes |
| 21:21.11 | marchino | now at my home with an open wifi i had a same problems: sometimes i lose the connection |
| 21:23.21 | Corsac | which kernel are you using ? |
| 21:27.44 | marchino | Linux minimurdoc 2.6.19-2006-12-15 #2 Fri Dec 15 16:03:03 CET 2006 ppc GNU/Linux |
| 21:29.00 | Corsac | hmhm, I run 2.6.19.1 and I don't have those symptoms |
| 21:29.19 | marchino | Corsac: i have more than one ap |
| 21:29.31 | Corsac | with the same ssid ? |
| 21:29.35 | marchino | here i got an ap and a second ap as repeter |
| 21:29.40 | marchino | yes |
| 21:29.44 | Corsac | k |
| 21:30.13 | marchino | can this be the problem? |
| 21:33.44 | Corsac | i don't know |
| 21:43.57 | marchino | Corsac: can i know which encryption you use? |
| 21:44.07 | marchino | peap - mschapv2? |

| 21:45.05 | alexander | sup all |
| 21:47.12 | alexander | anyone have a howto on replacing osx with debian in macbook? (intel core2duo machine)... cant stand osx |
| 21:47.37 | Corsac | well, asking this on debian*ppc* is weird |
| 21:48.22 | Bor_Ed | try latest ubuntu or debian install cd for wintel and it should solve the prob |
| 21:49.08 | alexander | Corsac, i know, but i was told in debian that this channel would know more about it |
| 21:49.33 | alexander | Bor_Ed, thx |
| 21:49.57 | Bor_Ed | EFI (the firmware on wintel macs) has nothing to do with OF (firmware of ppc macs) but the distros work the same except for the booting |
| 21:50.46 | alexander | hows that? |
| 21:51.37 | Bor_Ed | OF is 'smart' where the EFI is just another implementation of BIOS when digged far enough |
| 22:07.13 | *** join/#debianppc benzea (n=benzea@p5487FD1F.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 22:21.32 | Bor_Ed | beige g3 runs at least sid kernels |
| 22:22.23 | Danamania | dang. that's what I'm using atm, a beige g3 - though with a current Etch kernel (2.6.18) |
| 22:23.33 | Bor_Ed | I have something like that on sid on the box... it's not running currently so can't give the exact ver but the new kernels work on it too |
| 22:23.56 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 22:24.26 | Bor_Ed | need to copy initrd and vmlinux files to mockos side... |
| 22:24.27 | Bor_Ed | HEY |
| 22:24.35 | Danamania | aye, got them there. |
| 22:24.56 | Danamania | bootx runs the kernel, but then it just freezes before showing a penguin |
| 22:24.57 | Bor_Ed | you need root=/dev/hdXY (you figure X and Y) to bootx parameters |
| 22:25.11 | Danamania | on the white text/black background screen |
| 22:25.14 | Bor_Ed | I have hda6 or so |
| 22:25.33 | Danamania | hdc6 here - though I'm using an initrd which handles that (on previous kernels) |
| 22:25.39 | Bor_Ed | naa, that needs to be written for bootx options thingy |
| 22:25.52 | Danamania | ah |
| 22:26.25 | Danamania | still, that's a later bit than the current kernel issue unfortunately :) |
| 22:28.11 | Bor_Ed | hmm? |
| 22:28.38 | Danamania | it's not even getting to the point where the kernel initialises stuff before booting from disk |
| 22:29.09 | Bor_Ed | leaves that grey and black screen on? |
| 22:29.30 | Danamania | http://www.danamania.com/temp/geethreefail.jpg |
| 22:30.18 | Danamania | that's where it sits |
| 22:31.42 | Bor_Ed | hmm, I'd guess it initializes different framebuffer than the integrated or whatever you have as default |
| 22:32.18 | Danamania | hmm. oddly, that says 2.6.17 - I think. the screen's a bit of a mess |
| 22:32.36 | Danamania | might get myself back into an older kernel and see if I've messed up |
| 22:33.26 | Danamania | I've just been playing with the G3 as a possible new webserver, my main problem is on a 5500 (with 6500/300 motherboard) |
| 22:33.48 | Bor_Ed | screen has vertical stripes even on latest kernels, some issue on the fbdev driver |
| 22:34.09 | Danamania | ahh! that's what I was getting on the 5500 :) |
| 22:34.32 | Bor_Ed | atyfb has that by nature on 2.6.8+ kernels |
| 22:34.57 | Danamania | http://www.danamania.com/temp/performafail.jpg - the corruption in a few columns of characters |
| 22:35.17 | Bor_Ed | the same |
| 22:35.23 | Danamania | as well as the waiting for root file system issue - is that where I should be adding a root=/dev/hdc6 in? |
| 22:35.49 | Danamania | hmm. now this is odd - bootx won't use the old kernel that was working fine either. I suspect shenanigans |
| 22:35.55 | Bor_Ed | root fs mount is slow even in here... dunno why |
| 22:36.30 | Danamania | what kind of slow - many minutes? |
| 22:36.42 | Bor_Ed | naa, sits there for some secs on g3 |
| 22:39.54 | Danamania | dang |
| 22:40.21 | Danamania | I might pack it all away and try again once etch is released - my linux-ppc-debugging-fu is weak atm :) |
| 22:41.26 | Bor_Ed | I've used sid since day 2 when I realized that I can have 1 or 2 big fubars/year if the sys works the rest of the time |
| 22:41.42 | Danamania | yeah. Sid worked very well on my iMac for a while |
| 22:42.49 | Bor_Ed | I have sid and 2.4 kernel on this server box I have irssi on... have had around 3 issues in last 4-5 years |
| 22:48.24 | Bor_Ed | hmm, you have realtek card on the box? I didn't get back to X except on 800x600 fbdev mode after trying such card in there... dropped the card pretty fast to get back to X |
| 22:49.05 | Danamania | there's a realtek 10/100 card in the 5500 and the 6360 (both much the same), but not in the G3 |
| 22:50.06 | Bor_Ed | that card uses some memory area which X driver uses... no probs in console mode in general but check dmesg out |
| 22:50.34 | Danamania | that's very interesting |
| 22:50.41 | Danamania | I wonder if it'd affect other stuff too |
| 22:51.05 | Bor_Ed | you should see on dmesg |
| 22:51.35 | Bor_Ed | at least sblive5.1 refused to work on the same reason too |
| 22:52.01 | Danamania | I would if I got to the point I could use it :D. |
| 22:52.56 | Danamania | it'd be a pain, as I think the only ethernet cards I have for the 5500 that works with both MacOS and Linux well are the realteks. |
| 22:53.09 | Danamania | still - you've given me a few more things to try |
| 22:54.15 | Bor_Ed | booting the g3... and giving whole buggr dmesg in a sec |
| 22:54.48 | Danamania | just packing this G3 away and popping it back in a 6360 to play there |
| 22:55.22 | Danamania | http://www.danamania.com/temp/darthmac2.jpg is the current server. It sits there so cool & quiet, I'd rather keep it going. |
| 22:55.31 | Bor_Ed | aww, g3 has nice overclock potential and speed for games |
| 22:57.43 | Bor_Ed | Linux g3 2.6.18-3-powerpc #1 Tue Nov 21 11:35:20 CET 2006 ppc GNU/Linux |
| 22:57.53 | Bor_Ed | on the g3 apparently running |
| 22:58.34 | Bor_Ed | I have 2.6.20-2-powerpc there too which worked mostly |
| 22:58.50 | Danamania | what do you use yours for mostly? |
| 22:59.10 | Bor_Ed | surfing, media playback and communications |
| 23:00.28 | Bor_Ed | I've got the g3 clocked from 233 to 315 and it has managed every task I've given within the cpu temp range |
| 23:00.59 | Danamania | excellent |
| 23:01.06 | Danamania | this one went to 266 OK, then 280 with a bus speed change |
| 23:01.17 | Danamania | but any further would lock up a minute or two after boot |
| 23:01.51 | Bor_Ed | I'd need faster ram to run at 366, failed at ram integry then |
| 23:01.52 | Danamania | oddly, at 300 it would lock up in MacOS soon after boot, but as long as it reached BootX and booted there, it was happy in Sarge |
| 23:02.08 | Danamania | pity |
| 23:02.28 | Danamania | I shall hunt down a 333 someday and play more with it :) |
| 23:02.32 | Bor_Ed | linux halts the cpu when not needed |
| 23:03.10 | Bor_Ed | 333 didn't work here, I had to use weird fsb clock and ratio to get stable performance |
| 23:09.24 | Bor_Ed | looks like I have 4x78'ish here up currently |

| 23:09.53 | Danamania | I think mine was 5x60 |
| 23:10.13 | Danamania | can't remember - whatever it was I took it back to standard just in case that was causing the linux issues :) |
| 23:11.20 | Bor_Ed | overclocking hasn't given me on this setup a single segfault (apps did give that on higher clocks) |
| 23:12.22 | Bor_Ed | settled for the rates for now until I get pc100 ram for the board |
| 23:12.52 | Danamania | ooh. video=ofonly fixes the vertical lines on the 6360 |
| 23:13.01 | Danamania | but shifts text over about 16 chars :) |
| 23:13.24 | Bor_Ed | that can be fixed on monitor conf |
| 23:13.37 | Danamania | it's wrapped though |
| 23:16.17 | Bor_Ed | can you paste output of 'cat /proc/fb' from the 6360 |
| 23:16.41 | Danamania | I could if it booted - still not up to there |
| 23:21.35 | Bor_Ed | http://simonraven.nuit.ca/ should have info on your box, my isp has puked apparentlu again and I can't give direct link for the models page |
| 23:22.59 | Danamania | seems to be down atm :( |
| 23:23.40 | Bor_Ed | sll |
| 23:23.59 | Bor_Ed | so it wasn't this end after all |
| 23:24.39 | Danamania | yeah. it NXDOMAINs here, though nuit.ca works. |
| 23:26.50 | Bor_Ed | some news for the 6360... it should work |
| 23:27.15 | Bor_Ed | http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2002/08/msg00367.html |
| 23:28.52 | Danamania | aye - it workeed fine until after 2.6.8 |
| 23:29.16 | Danamania | (same hardware inside as the 5500, essentially - which is why I'm working on it ready for when the 5500 needs to be upgraded) |
| 23:30.43 | Bor_Ed | I seem to have 2.4.27 here on the server... though server daemons are from sid I think |
| 23:33.22 | Bor_Ed | anyway if you have recent enough deb setup the kernel should be able to fix up working environment |
| 23:34.03 | Bor_Ed | I'm off, buggr wakeup in 4 hours |
| 23:34.23 | Danamania | yeah. the closest I got on the 6360 was a 2.6.8 kernel with Etch everything else. udev complained, but it all seemed to work regardless |
