It's definitely the fan, I have a modular bay cdrom, which is out at the moment. And that fan seems to be running quite fast. It's loud! I installed with boot floppies and network install from debian stable. I had troubles with booting off hard disk, so I'm using a boot floppy with an altered image pointing to my root partition for the time being. I'm looking into using miboot on the hard disk. Once I get that figured out, it will be easier to try the newer kernels. Uname tells me I have 2.2.20-pmac. And pmud version 1.1.1.1. By the way, I'm losing the mouse upon waking from closing/opening the lid. I can't figure out if pmud is supposed to automagically do this. I lose it on the console (gpm) as well. Seems only a reboot brings it back. But I've come a long way from the Mac rom screen with a flashing question mark disk icon. The previous owner just gave up when he saw that. Any feedback or rtfm's welcome. PS:sorry if someone got this mail twice. I'm not on my usual mailer. getting used to it. Thanks.
