On my PowerMac11,2 (PowerMac G5 Dual Core), I’m running stock Jessie, except for kernel “3.18.16-powerpc64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 30 01:03:04 AEST 2015 ppc64 GNU/Linux” I’m not sure where I got that kernel from. It’s not the standard Jessie kernel. It has the i2c-powermac kernel module compiled in, not as a loadable module. However, I just now booted it with the stock Jessie kernel 3.16.43-2+deb8u5, and did not have the noisy fans you mention. This kernel also has the i2c-powermac kernel module compiled in. Depending on your video card, you may or may not be able to use it with a GUI desktop. Mine is “NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 LE] (rev a2)” and it definitely does not support a graphical desktop unless you have a specially compiled kernel such as the one from Peter Saisanas. I’m CC-ing Peter in case he has any comments… Another thing you can try for the fans (as root): modprobe i2c-powermac See if that helps. Enjoy! Rick
