| 04:59.25 | o0splitpaw0o | hello there |
| 05:01.11 | o0splitpaw0o | Running a powerbook g4. the initial install went well. but need a wiki or website with suggestions to fix the audio & wireless on this. If you can suggest a page, I would appreciate it. |
| 05:02.10 | simonrvn | !+b43 |
| 05:02.12 | ravenbird | [b43] the new driver for modern Broadcom 802.11g wireless chipsets, included in Linux since 2.6.24. Use <b43-fwcutter> to extract version 4 firmware for this driver. USB devices are not supported (for 4320, see <rndis_wlan>). 802.11b-only devices and BCM4306 rev 2 are instead supported by the <b43legacy> driver. BCM4321/4322 not supported, ask about <ndiswrapper> or <wl>. http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx #bcm-users @ irc.freenode.net |
| 05:02.44 | o0splitpaw0o | thanks for that |
| 05:03.35 | simonrvn | !+snd-powermac |
| 05:03.36 | ravenbird | snd-powermac is likely to the sound driver you need to get sound working properly on your PPC Mac. You might also want snd-pcm and snd-pcm-oss. Add them to /etc/modules to load them at boot time. |
| 05:04.12 | simonrvn | !+snd-powermac =~ s/time./time. Ask me about snd-aoa if you have a Mac Mini/ |
| 05:04.13 | ravenbird | OK, simonrvn |
| 05:06.18 | o0splitpaw0o | ok, I'll get looking for that. thanks |
| 05:07.33 | simonrvn | np |
| 05:07.37 | simonrvn | have fun |
| 05:29.11 | o0splitpaw0o | simonrvn: alrighty, see the binary Linux driver. available for x86 & 64.... wondering if the firmware binary would happen to install on this ppc.. not likley? |
| 05:33.14 | o0splitpaw0o | whoops well the fwcutter seems to be working - crossing fingers |
| 05:42.14 | simonrvn | !+snd-powermac =~ s/to the sound/to be the sound/ |
| 05:42.15 | ravenbird | simonrvn: OK |

| 16:21.59 | pahartik | gets "GRUB" running for first experiments on NewWorld PowerPC workstation |
| 16:32.20 | psychicist | wonders what kind of workstation that would be |
| 16:34.02 | pahartik | psychicist: PowerMacintosh G4 MDD dual-CPU 867 MHz |
| 16:37.30 | psychicist | pahartik: nice to know that qualifies as a workstation, I think of my G4 400 MHz PowerMac (Sawtooth?) as a desktop, but maybe it qualified for a workstation back when it was released |
| 16:39.14 | Korni| | i wonder what is an open desktop workstation |
| 16:39.21 | Korni| | desktop or workstation? :P |
| 16:41.47 | psychicist | I don't know, I thought workstations had died by now :) |
| 16:42.26 | Korni| | well, ppc based desktops too :) |
| 16:44.40 | psychicist | I still have hope that they'll be released, I don't think IBM and Sun are the best stewards for POWER and SPARC respectively because they only cater to the high-end. Look where ARM and MIPS ended up when they were set free so to say :) |
| 17:19.14 | pahartik | managed to list contents of filesystems but not boot Linux kernel with "GRUB" |
| 17:25.06 | psychicist | doesn't have to bother trying thanks to pahartik's inquisitive work |
| 17:27.06 | pahartik | psychicist: Try, it is possible that I just did not know how to use "GRUB" |
| 17:30.26 | psychicist | pahartik: I'll do so when I have access to my system tomorrow, I run everything remotely so I'm not eager to play with "GRUB" in case I mess up yaboot. |
| 17:31.12 | psychicist | I'd really like to see "GRUB" become a universal boot loader across all architectures |

| 22:00.46 | pahartik | finds out after further testing that "grub-ieee1275" in "lenny" did not succeed booting kernel, "grub-ieee1275" in "squeeze" had no such problem and kernel is running |
| 22:08.11 | mikexcr | grub on ppc? o_)O |
| 22:08.13 | mikexcr | O_O |
| 22:20.00 | pahartik | mikexcr: Yes, that |
| 22:21.01 | mikexcr | can i install and use grub without yaboot? |
| 22:21.44 | pahartik | mikexcr: Yes, but it can co-exist with "yaboot" just fine... |
| 22:22.08 | mikexcr | i must find howto |
| 22:23.04 | pahartik | mikexcr: Document at "http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnPowerPC" |
| 22:24.20 | mikexcr | pahartik: thank u |
| 22:26.47 | pahartik | mikexcr: With version in "squeeze", to generate "grubof.modules", I used "grub-mkelfimage --output=grubof.modules /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/*.mod" |
| 22:27.43 | mikexcr | pahartik: now use old 'lenny testing' ;) |
| 22:28.00 | mikexcr | now i using |
| 22:31.07 | mikexcr | pahartik: what do you think about squeeze on ppc? |
| 22:31.11 | mikexcr | pahartik: all good? |
| 22:31.13 | pahartik | mikexcr: It just needs two packages fetched from "squeeze" then... "grub-ieee1275" and "grub-common" |
| 22:35.16 | pahartik | mikexcr: "squeeze" is fine... |
| 22:35.58 | mikexcr | pahartik: what's new in squezze for ppc? |
| 22:37.09 | pahartik | mikexcr: My main workstation (iBook G4) does have mixed-version install |
| 22:37.22 | mikexcr | mhm |
| 22:37.32 | mikexcr | use PowerBook G4 1.5GHz |
| 22:53.55 | pahartik | mikexcr: I did not try "GRUB" on iBook G4 yet, just on PowerMacintosh G4... I do not reboot iBook G4 unless I have good reason to |
