Hi, Marco d'Itri suggested me to post here. Here is one of my recent problem: Since a udev update a few weeks ago, CD and DVD are no longer recognized on (at least several) PPC Mac hardware with Testing.
The problem seems to be related to bug #635107 i.e. the ide driver is now marked as deprecated, and the pata (or sata when relevant) drivers should be used in place. If I analyzed the situation correctly, the pata driver does exist for PPC Mac but is not provided by the debian kernel: >From lspci for two of my machines under testing: PowerMac G5: 0001:03:0d.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Apple Computer Inc. Shasta IDE 0001:03:0d.0 ff00: 106b:0050 Mac-mini G4: 0002:20:0d.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth/Intrepid ATA/100 0002:20:0d.0 ff00: 106b:003b According to http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/PATA_MACIO.html the PATA driver for both is drivers/ata/pata_macio.c activated with CONFIG_ATA CONFIG_PATA_MACIO Nonetheless, the configuration file of the kernel says: PowerMac: $ grep PATA_MACIO /boot/config-2.6.39-2-powerpc64 # CONFIG_PATA_MACIO is not set and Mac-mini: $ grep PATA_MACIO /boot/config-2.6.39-2-powerpc # CONFIG_PATA_MACIO is not set Can you confirm my diagnostic? (CC please because not subscribed) If yes, I'll fill a bug against the debian kernel.
