Package: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64 Version: 2.6.18-5 Severity: important
Dear Kernel team, The code controlling fan speed on iMac G5 do not work correctly as a module. As a consequence, the fans run full speed with the standard kernel in Debian. This renders the mac unusable: the fans are _very_ loud when they are fullspeed. The only solution I know is to build windfarm_pm81 directly in the kernel. This is only doable for experienced users. I hope that you can manage to bring a corrected kernel in Etch, otherwise I am affraid that nobody except developpers will use Debian on iMacs G5. Lastly, is is not impossible that all of this extends to the other windfarm modules (91 and 112). Have a nice day, Charles Plessy, Wako, Saitama, Japan. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16farm Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64 depends on: ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.12-18 Yet Another mkInitRD linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: false linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: false linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: linux-image-2.6.18-2-powerpc64/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-2-powerpc64: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
