Hi everyone, I just recompiled the 2.4.21-ben2 kernel several times, trying to get it running. I finally fixed the FB problem I was having at compilation, and when booting, the kernel froze in the middle of the boot, when trying to set the System time. I can track this to the RTC support, since the kernel booted nicely when I unset CONFIG_RTC.
I just wanted to know if setting this: # CONFIG_GEN_RTC is not set CONFIG_PPC_RTC=y # CONFIG_RTC is not set is sufficient to get the RTC running properly... mplayer is buggin me about RTC, and I have synchronization problems when watchign movies because of this (I suspect): Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Invalid argument Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts. Using usleep() timing I also activated CONFIG_PPC_RTAS, but I don't seem to have an RTAS thingie under /proc/device-tree/rtas :-( Does anyone with a Powerbook G4 run RTAS? From what i read in the kernel help, it looks like a very cool thing to have :-) My last issue with the kernel is the Thermal Unit Assistant. I set the kernel options CONFIG_TAU and CONFIG_TAU_AVERAGE, but at boot time, I can read the message "Thermal Assist Unit not available". I was wondering if any of you running a PBook G4 has, again, managed to set this up. Thank you very much! -- J. Javier Maestro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://rigel.homelinux.com
