Hi Parag, I was thinking about getting one of the new 15" PowerBooks (hi-res, powerbook5,8, but I've been reading about this problem.
I first found out about this problem on the Gentoo Forums from this post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-396455.html Then I read a little more about it on the linuxppc-dev list: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2005-October/020222.html On the linuxppc-dev list, there are some patches to enable the ATA controller, Gigabit ethernet and basic AGP setup. I guess it's probably a matter of patching the 2.6.14 source and booting that. cheers, Andy >Has anyone tried to install debian on the new PowerBooks yet? >I tried and the kernel didn't detect any IDE controller, so I >couldn't get the installer going past the select CDROM prompt. > >I tried loading ide-cd , ide-generic and all other ide modules >but no success. > >Parag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
