If i had to choose i'd give kernel-image-2.6.6-power3 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-power3 a try.
But i like to compile my own kernels :) if you'd like that, rsync the source from source.mvista.com with; rsync -avz --delete source.mvista.com::linuxppc::linuxppc-2.5-benh /usr/src/2.6/ (first mkdir /usr/src/2.6) /fenrus -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: Natxo Asenjo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 22 maj 2004 14:35 Till: ppc �mne: which kernel should I download? hi! I am new here, recently got an old ibook from an ex-colleague because she 'could not use word in it' (sigh, but at the same time very happy with the ibook). So after some hesitations, I finally decided to give it a go (I do not even have an mac os 9 install cd just in case) I downloaded the woody ppc iso and with the online handbook close to it I have installed it and everything is working fine. In the meantime I have upgraded from woody to testing and am able to run kde 3.2.2, which is nice for a computer with only 96mb ram. Anyway, my original question. As you have probably guessed by now, I am really new to this hardware. I can see this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : 740/750 temperature : 46-48 C (uncalibrated) clock : 299MHz revision : 131.0 (pvr 0008 8300) bogomips : 598.01 machine : PowerBook2,1 motherboard : PowerBook2,1 MacRISC Power Macintosh L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 96MB pmac-generation : NewWorld but am not really sure which of the kernel-images to use for the 2.6.* series. I see this stuff with apt-cache search kernel-image (among other things): kernel-image-2.6.5-g5 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-g5 kernel-image-2.6.5-g5-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-g5-smp kernel-image-2.6.5-power3 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-power3 kernel-image-2.6.5-power3-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-power3-smp kernel-image-2.6.5-power4 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-power4 kernel-image-2.6.5-power4-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-power4-smp kernel-image-2.6.5-powerpc - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-powerpc kernel-image-2.6.5-powerpc-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.5-powerpc-smp kernel-image-2.6.6-g5 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-g5 kernel-image-2.6.6-g5-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-g5-smp kernel-image-2.6.6-power3 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-power3 kernel-image-2.6.6-power3-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-power3-smp kernel-image-2.6.6-power4 - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-power4 kernel-image-2.6.6-power4-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-power4-smp kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-powerpc kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc-smp - Linux kernel image for 2.6.6-powerpc-smp Obviously, only one cpu so the *smp ones are discarded, as are the g5 and power4 (I think).
