Bug#525946: hw-detect: snd-powermac not added to /etc/modules
Ubuntu seems to have solved this with this (reverse) patch to discover-mac-io.sh: --- hw-detect_1.84/discover-mac-io.sh 2009-07-23 19:53:43.0 +0300 +++ hw-detect_1.80ubuntu1/discover-mac-io.sh2008-11-22 00:11:55.0 +0200 @@ -53,10 +53,7 @@ if [ -f $child/name ]; then childname=$(cat $child/name 2/dev/null || true) if [ $childname = sound ]; then - # Loading snd-powermac locks up G5 systems - if [ $name != i2s-a ]; then - register-module snd-powermac - fi + register-module snd-powermac fi fi done with the following comment in changelog: - Reinstate snd-powermac for i2s-a devices since apparently the lock-up has been fixed. Apparently the conclusion is correct: they've had this change in production since Thu, 27 Nov 2008 17:46:21 +. Over 2 years. Maybe Debian could follow? Of course, someone with a G5 should test it.

Re: Unofficial Squeeze NetInst CDs: call for testers
Hi, I've tested both on Mac mini (PowerMac10,1) successfully. Installation went well onto the internal IDE drive. But installing on a USB drive failed: ofpath doesn't support usb-storage. On the other hand, I was unable to boot from the USB drive, OF seems to be unable to read it. Risto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio) sound
To conclude, there are two remaining problems with snd-aoa: (1) At startup, with headphones inserted, they are (visibly) muted. (2) All sound is always muted.

Re: PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio) sound
Thank you, Rick, The 'disagrees about version of symbol...'s are dmesg is probably not a problem, as long as we don't need the midi stuff. The cause is my package lacking the midi modules. 2010/12/19, Rick Thomas rbtho...@pobox.com: With the blacklist reversed (see below for output of lsmod) With the external speakers plugged in, the grateful dead have left the theater (no sound). Running alsamixer showed: Card: SoundByLayout Chip: SoundByLayout Master: OO 8080 Headphone: MM Headphone D: OO Headphone D: OO Speakers: MM Auto Mute: (not present) DRC: (not present) DRC Range: 50 Monitor: 00 Headphone is muted. If you unplug and plug again, is it still only the Speakers control (and second Headphone D) changing? Can you unmute Headphone manually (with M)? I suspect that the first Headphone D corresponds to Auto Mute. With the external speakers unplugged, there is still no sound (nothing from the internal speaker) Alsamixer shows: Card: SoundByLayout Chip: SoundByLayout Master: OO 8080 Headphone: MM Headphone D: OO Headphone D: MM Speakers: OO Auto Mute: (not present) DRC: (not present) DRC Range: 50 Monitor: 00 And the PCM control is active (try to increase it)?

Re: PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio) sound
2010/12/17, Rick Thomas rbtho...@pobox.com: But I'm having trouble figuring out what headphone detection is and what it's supposed to be good for? The idea is to play the sound through the headphones if they are plugged-in, otherwise through the speakers. Snd-powermac has a setting, auto mute, that affects this. It's on by default. I'm not sure about snd-aoa. 1) Install a yaboot-fixed Squeeze-powerpc on my PowerMac3,4 machine. 2) Do the blacklist and /etc/modules changes and reboot. (test snd-powermac) 3) download with wget your alsa-modules .deb; then install it with dpkg -i deb then reboot again. 4) locate an mp3 file from somewhere? (Got a favorite? So far as I can tell, there aren't any useful ones included as part of the Debian installation.) Play it (how? -- does alsamixer do that? I don't see any controls for playing a file in the alsamixer screen... Should I run rhythmbox at the same time?) That's one possibility, if you have installed the graphical environment. Alsamixer cannot play. I've used mpg123 on command line. The problem is to find an mp3 file. I've been using this short audio file (I hope it's not someone's copyright): http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/tecbeat.au It can be played with: cat tecbeat.au /dev/audio (it needs OSS, modprobe snd-pcm-oss) 5) Then what? Look for something (what?) to change as I plug a pair of external speakers in and out the external-headphone jack? Yes, M (mute) and O (on) in headphone and speaker columns. 6) Report the results to you and the powerpc mailinglist. 7) Do you want the same experiment done with the blacklist reversed? Yes, please. To test snd-aoa. Actually, nothing needs to be blacklisted or put into /etc/modules, in this case. The alsamixer screen will be quite different. Risto ps.

PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio) sound
Hello Tom, Rick, and the others, I've tried to add headphone detection support to snd-aoa for PowerMac3,4. The package is available at: http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-modules-2.6.32-5-powerpc_1.0.23+dfsg-2+2.6.32-29_powerpc.deb It can be installed with 'dpkg -i' and gets loaded by reboot. It contains both snd-aoa and snd-powermac (already somewhat tested). The latter is loaded when put into /etc/modules, in which case snd-aoa snd-aoa-codec-tas snd-aoa-fabric-layout snd-aoa-i2sbus snd-aoa-soundbus should be blacklisted. Try it, and tell me how it went.

Re: Squeeze
2010/12/9, Jerome Warnier jwarn...@beeznest.net: Next question is: how to make it load on boot, and not snd-aoa? Can't you just blacklist it? In /etc/modprobe.d/, you could add a new file with only one line saying this: blacklist snd-aoa It should work.

Re: PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio)
2010/12/7, Johannes Berg johan...@sipsolutions.net: Oh, so the change to gpio1 was intended to be some wildcard? Yes. I know, not very pretty. Can you hack the file I previously pointed out and see if that helps? Well, I could try. Actually, I don't own a machine to test with. So, as far as I can see, you don't have any special handling for this machine, or any other either? And you don't look for these gpio15 (hp) and gpio16 (lo). They are the detect inputs, not mute outputs. So can they cause such problems that no sound is played? Hmm... One solution could be to just remove the support from snd-aoa and continue using snd-powermac. Now it's difficult because of the auto-loading.

2010/12/7, Johannes Berg johan...@sipsolutions.net: Right, normally we don't need any special handling since the DT has the right names ... this machine just needs an override for the GPIO names (gpio15/16 rather than the proper detect names).

Milan [1] http://www.quarkline.net/debian/bug/yaboot/ Thank you, Milan. Very good, indeed. Now the installation finishes without complaints, and the system boots. But not perfect. Finding other bootable partitions. It does not find my macos partition, nor my macosx partition, and names my darwin partition as macosx partition. The two entries for my Ubuntu partition receive same label. I'll attach the relevant parts of installation log. This may be beyond the scope of this patch, but anyway...

Re: Squeeze
Actually, I've submitted them to ALSA in april this year, and they seem to have made their way to at least kernel 2.6.35.8. But not to the older one used in Squeeze. But it should be simple enough to add them to the Debian specific patch for linux-image-2.6.xx package.

[Bug 583269] Re: Wifi connection problem airport
I got this solved by removing (renaming) /lib/firmware/agere_sta_fw.bin as explained in bug #498336 comment #86. I guess this one could be marked as a duplicate for that one. The reason seems to be a new firmware (9.48) that supports WPA but stops supporting WEP. The original f/w (8.70) supports only WEP. So the solution is not very useful for a movable machine. -- Wifi connection problem airport https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: Auto-booting USB stick in OF
2010/4/28, Benjamin Cama ben...@free.fr: I don't want to deter you from changing the disk and such, by if you don't even get to an Open Firmware prompt, you won't be able to boot from anything connected to your Mac. The OF is what will bootstrap the bootloader stored on some media ; if it doesn't come up, you won't be able to boot from anything. Something important must be broken ... Actually I didn't mean to boot from the hard disk, but just read the Firmware image file and write it to the OF flash. I assume that the internal ROM in the PMU chip contains code for this.

Re: Auto-booting USB stick in OF
Thanks, but I'm afraid I have tried everything: option+command+o+f, option+command+p+r, PMU reset with the small left-hand-side button, and firmware-update-style reset with power button held. I've also had the battery disconnected overnight. The only hope I have, is the firmware update, but Apple does not provide firmware images for this model. So I've planned to take the hard disk out, copy an image from another similar iBook to the disk, and put the disk back to the machine. If I only knew, how to name the image file...

Re: Auto-booting USB stick in OF
2010/4/28, Gunther Furtado gunfurt...@gmail.com: have you tried to boot from a MacOS Classic cd holding down C as it chimes with(out) an usb stick present? I'm pretty sure I have. Looks like it hangs before it comes so far, I cannot even get into Open Firmware. The reaction, when powering up by holding the power button until a beep, seems healthy: flashing the led, then after a few seconds a chime, when no Firmware image is available on the disk. This makes me think that a reflashing could take place, if a correctly formatted and named Firmaware image was present on the hard disk.

Auto-booting USB stick in OF
Hi, Strictly speaking, this is not a Debian issue, not even Linux, but since I don't know of any Open Firmware list, and it may be just a matter of time before someone else tries this... I wrote the following two lines into OF nvramrc parameter with 'nvedit' (Read this to the end before trying yourself!): devalias usb /p...@f200/u...@19/d...@1 dev /options usb open-dev dup if close-dev usb:,\\:tbxi boot-device property else drop then I ran this manually with 'nvrun' and achieved what I wanted: (1) if there was a USB stick plugged-in on boot, the boot-device shown by '.properties' was changed to 'usb:,\\:tbxi' (The boot-device shown by 'printenv' does not change.), and saying 'boot' booted Linux from the stick, (2) if no USB stick was present, the boot-device remained, thus allowing to boot from hard disk. Then I made the fatal error, I ran 'nvstore', 'setenv use-nvramrc? true' and 'shut-down'. Now the machine won't boot anymore. The chime is there but the display remains black. The machine in question is an iBook G3 Dual USB 500 MHz. Risto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Testers wanted for snd-powermac (PowerMac G4 Digital audio).
Hi, I just wrote some small patches for ALSA driver snd-powermac. The changes were addressed for G4 Digital Audio (PowerMac3,4). Possibly these changes would be needed for other models, too. The first one: http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-tumbler-1.0.22.1-p15.diff reverses the interpretation of the headphone detection bit, and it has been tested on one machine. The second one: http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-tumbler-1.0.22.1-p16.diff tries to implement lineout detection. Lineout refers to the small (2.5 mm) Pro Speaker jack. This has not been tested. Is there someone with access to this combination of hardware? The same Pro Speakers can be used in all desktop Macs with G4 processor, and were included with many iMac G4 models. To test these patches, one opens alsamixer and, plugs in and out headphone or Pro Speaker, and checks that the mute (MM) controls follow after. Auto-mute control has to be enabled (OO). The third one: http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-tumbler-1.0.22.1-p16d.diff adds some debug output, and it has to be enabled manually by editing the source files, see below. Probably the best way to test these, is to download ALSA driver source archive: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.tar.bz2 and apply the patches on it using -p1 (directly on directory sound in kernel sources -p2 should work). The installation procedure is outlined here: http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-driver-tumbler-patch.html To enable the debug output '#undef DEBUG' has to be changed to '#define DEBUG' in the beginning of alsa-kernel/ppc/tumbler.c and ppc/tumbler.patch, before saying 'make'.

MACE DMA problem on Powermac 7300
Hi, everybody, I post this in hope that somebody could shed some light on how should the DMA work in conjunction with the MACE ethernet controller. I find difficult to understand why it does not work in my case: What happens? First two bytes of a received frame are not what they should be in more than 50% of frames. This can be avoided by receiving the frame on a word boundary, but with the usual skb_reserve(..., 2) (to make the IP header land on word boundary), it won't work. So, I can make the driver work by receiving at 0 offset, and then moving the data 2 bytes up, before handing it over to upper layers. This used to work with a 2.4.27 kernel, obviously the Grand Central DBDMA controller can receive on non-word boundaries. Now I have 2.6.15.7. Any ideas, what could cause this kind of behaviour (and regression)?

Re: Announcing xorriso-0.4.0
Hi, I had my first contact with xorriso. My aim was to restore hard links from ISOs. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot make it work. I'm running on Debian Lenny, kernel 2.6.26. I compiled the full package, and of the optional libraries, only zlib was present. My testing has been restricted to ISO images. I used -add and -map to copy the files in. Whether I specify '-hardlinks on' or not, the result is the same: Ordinary mounting sees the hard links counts, but 'ls -i' shows different inodes, and thus they cannot be copied out. 'osirrox -lsl' does not even see the counts. -extract and -cpx cannot copy them out. btw, what is the difference, why two copy commands? Have I misunderstood something?

Re: Wifi on a tray loading iMac, is it possible?
Sure it's possible. USB adapter is probably the only usable solution. I've been successful with old Macs using Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54L (0411:00da) and zd1211b, vendor-based community driver, svn version. http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/ The speed will be limited to 11 Mbit/s because of the USB 1.1 interface on those iMacs.

You may need to set the UseFBDev option in Section Device for r128 to work. I'm specify Driver ati, but from Xorg.0.log I can see that it actually uses r128, which is a sub-driver for ati.

Re: Re: Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
Good question, Amos. You should begin with listing the files: ls -al /mnt2 What do you get? Usually there are links vmlinux and initrd.img pointing at vmlinux-2.6.x.x.x and initrd.img-2.6.x.x.x, respectively. They should come from a package called linux-image-2.6 or something similar. You can see the exact name with: dpkg -l | grep linux-image and then you can list part of its contents with: dpkg -L linux-image-2.6 | grep /boot (if that was the whole name) Normally this /dev/sda7 will be mounted below /boot.

Re: Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
Hmm... looks like /dev/sda does not exist, yet. But somewhere under the /dev tree there are probably the right entries. Perhaps /dev/scsi or /dev/bus or /dev/disk something. You could just try to let the installation process continue a bit further. When it's about to start the partitioning, the sda devices should be there. When 'ls /dev/sda' gives something, you've got it. Risto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
Hi Amos, The one thing you probably forgot, was to copy the vmlinux and initrd.img images from /boot to Mac OS 'Linux Kernels' folder. Then you will have to direct BootX to use them, as you did with the images from the install CD. Now you must try to re-start the installation and then suspend it before really doing anything. You should be able to find a command prompt from the menu, or possibly in another virtual console (Ctrl-alt-F2), and then issue following commands there: mkdir /mnt1 /mnt2 mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda5 /mnt1 (if that fails try hfs or/and sda6) mount -t ext2 /dev/sda7 /mnt2 cp -p /mnt2/vmlinux /mnt1/System\ Folder/Linux\ Kernels cp -p /mnt2/initrd.img /mnt1/System\ Folder/Linux\ Kernels umount /mnt1 /mnt2 Note the backslash before any white-space in path names. Then you can just reboot and select the new files in BootX. No need for sda7 anymore, but root=/dev/sda8 must be passed. Good luck.

I do know it's where Charlie got lost in the Kingston Trio's song many years ago... certainly the boot process seems to get lost. This may be a Lenny thing rather than PPC, but I'll try here first anyhow. I'm guessing that it is the mail transfer agent and that the delay has something to do with network access.

Re: G3 Beige Tower install help
2008/9/7, Stephen Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: OK kept the MacOS partition(s). There are 7 of em put there by the MacOS 9 disk utility (6 small ones). In Apple's partitioning, the 1st partition contains the partition map, then there are typically 5 driver partitions used by Mac OS, and then the actual Mac OS partition. You said in the beginning that you created the Linux partitions as well with Apple's Disk Utility? Did you change that part during Debian installation process? Or was it usable for Debian as such? I have one disk and it was labeled hdb when partioning. So that would be 'mount -t hfs (It's hfs)/dev/hdb7 (MacOS was installed on the 7th partition). I'm surprised that it is not hda. Perhaps it is jumpered as slave? It would more natural to jumper it as master. I remember that some older G3s had problems with slave drives, at least together with a master. There are a bunch of small Apple/MacOS partitions before this. But I assume since you mentioned system folder that it's has to go on the larger MacOS partition where the Mac system folder is; correct ? That's right. There didn't appear to be an 'initrd.gz' but there was an 'initrd'. Same thing right ? On /mnt I didn't have a directory 'System Folder', however mount didn't through any complaints when mounting hdb7, so I assume that was OK. Unfortunately it didn't boot. I'm getting close though. Any ideas ? There may be an empty directory called initrd on the root level of target. The initrd.gz (and vmlinux) should be in boot subdirectory. You did go through installing the kernel package? This may be a separate step in the installer. If you didn't see the 'System Folder' then the mounting was not OK. The explanation can be that Mac OS has put an HFS wrapper around the HFS+ file system. So try with 'mount -t hfsplus ...' instead.

I recall that there had been a scsi hard drive in this box, and I had removed the stock IDE hard drive shortly after purchasing. When I pulled this out of storage in my basement several weeks ago, there wasn't any hard drive in it, so I put in a spare 13GB IDE drive I had. I guess I plugged it in the wrong socket on the motherboard; there are 2 IDE data sockets on the motherboard. Make sense ? The other probably is the hda data socket. I don't think the jumpers were changed. The other IDE socket has probably the CD drive (hdc)? Maybe the spare drive has been as a slave in its earlier life?

Re: G3 Beige Tower install help
2008/9/7, Stephen Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The install is where I had the issue(s), of going through the steps and hanging when it came to installing the quik bootloader. I don't understand why it's install quick as I thought that BootX would be used. You should try to skip the quik installation. The advantage of using BootX is that if you use quik and it fails to boot you have no backup, with BootX you can always get into OS 9. You don't need - and cannot have - both: the OldWorld ROM always selects the first bootable partition. Or - in theory - you could have quik in first partition and OS 9 in second and use quik to boot OS 9, but I don't see any point in it. I went through several iterations of disk partioning schemes without any successful install. One message I got several times was that Quik has to be on the first partition. The MacOS has a small partition at the first that doesn't delete for me, so I'm kind of stuck there. You should keep the Mac OS partition. Get into another virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2), mount the Mac OS partition (the path is either /dev/hda... or /dev/bus/ide/disk.../part..., or similar): mount -t hfs /dev/... /mnt (or hfsplus), and copy the new initrd into it: cp -p /target/boot/initrd.gz '/mnt/System Folder' At this point you should have the kernel package installed on target partition. In terms of the disk partioning. Is the MacOS partition supposed to be overwritten and that's why the installer wants to install Quik ? I can't seem to find an option to toggle Quik off. Probably the installer wants to install quik because it is the only OldWorld capable boot loader it knows about. That's why you have to manually copy the initrd for BootX, as described above. And when booting the installed system with BootX, you have to select the new initrd and press 'Save prefs' to make it permanent.

(5) When Bootx asks you to choose your OS, before doing so, press on Options, and select the initrd (Use specified RAM disk) (with BootX extension variant, you have to be careful to stop the clock from counting down, this can be done by writing a space into More kernel arguments field). You mean the ram disk is automatically set as default ? By space in the kernel arguments field, you mean to hit the space bar ? Excuse me if I'm being a little thick, it's the end of a long day. It is not used by BootX as default. When you have selected a RAM disk, the root partition field changes to adjust the maximum size of the RAM disk. Yes, I meant the space bar.

Re: G3 Beige Tower install help
2008/9/6, James Kozak [EMAIL PROTECTED]: hi reading this email again makes me wonder if this step has been omitted: Insert the PPC install disk and navigate to the /install/powerpc folder. Copy vmlinux (the linux kernel) to System Folder/Linux Kernels. Copy initrd.gz (the init ramdisk image) to System Folder and rename it to ramdisk.image.gz ? James I don't think that the name, or even the location, of the initrd would matter, as long as BootX is told where it is. As a general rule: the shorter the name, the better. I have always been using initrd.gz as it is. Risto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: G3 Beige Tower install help
Hi Stephen, In your place, I would take the following route: In OS 9: (1) download BootX from http://penguinppc.org/historical/benh/BootX_1.2.2.sit, and install it, (2) download Debian kernel and initrd from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/vmlinux and http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/initrd.gz, and place them into :System Folder:Linux Kernels, (3) place the Debian netinst CD into a CD drive, (4) Run BootX application (alternatively install BootX extension, and reboot). (5) When Bootx asks you to choose your OS, before doing so, press on Options, and select the initrd (Use specified RAM disk) (with BootX extension variant, you have to be careful to stop the clock from counting down, this can be done by writing a space into More kernel arguments field). (6) Press on Save to prefs, in case you don't succeed on first try, and need to try again with a different command line, or the CD in another drive. (7) Press on Linux, and hope the best.

Re: Reference to Apple_bootstrap partition (was: Installation Open-firmware error)
2008/5/14, Bryan Pierce [EMAIL PROTECTED]: * Partition the drive with 2 partitions (1) a HFS+ partation - as a placeholde which is deleted to make space for the Linux partitions (2) an HFS+ partition - which then has OS 9 installed In Apple partitioning, part. 1 is the partition table, part. 2 would be the first user partition, or, if OS 9 drivers are installed, some later partition. * Using pdisk (a.k.a. mac-fdisk) to delete the first partition and install an Apple_bootstrap partition I managed to boot from a USB stick with only Apple_HFS partition. Yaboot gives a warning, suggesting Apple_Bootstrap, but it seems to be no strict requirement. (mac-fdisk usually [command c] creates an 800k Apple_Bootstrap partition, which is too small for the kernel.) So if you keep the Apple_HFS, you should be able to reach the partition from within OS X. And so the first half of of this line works fine. I actually don't understand the /dev//|sda2|/ half of the line...and I'm thinking that if I could get someone to explain that, my problems would be almost solved. My guess is that the pipes are only to distinguish the part that may need editing, depending on the partition number used. The double slash has no meaning at all. Probably a typo. * At any rate, the problem is figuring out how to move the files to this Apple_bootstrap partition, when it doesn't show up in the finder, and I can't seem to get a reference to it from the Unix Terminal If the boot.img contains the file system (I think it does), you don't need to access the partition at file level. But your partition should be of correct size. Then you can just point to the partition with something like /dev/disk1s2. You should be able to recognize the right partition with mac-fdisk (pdisk).

Re: a couple of small sound issues with mac mini
2008/4/30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Btw pcspkr is the designation in the kernel for the pc speaker; it is loaded according to my lsmod so I'm assuming until I find out otherwise that it just isn't working currently on the mini. You are saying that pcspkr is responsible for (a) the beep generated when you press backspace in the terminal's first column and (b) sound generated when gdm loads. Is it just a short beep or some kind of music? I mean, in the latter case it is probably a wav file played by gdm. You couldn't find (in dmesg) any sign of pcspkr attaching to the input system? This would probably be the mechanism that makes it possible to generate sound when keys are pressed. Risto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Installation Open-firmware error Rev B iMac
2008/4/30, Bryan Pierce [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There seem to be several copies of installation instructions for PPC and they seem quite a bit different. There are several different PPC computers. My original attempt was partitioning my hard-drive, thinking that I could use one partition for the boot.img files (shying away from the idea of booting off a flash drive) Are you running an OS from CD? Mac OS 9? Or is it installed on HD? After my post I found somewhere that boot hd:,\\yaboot ...would force the computer to search the partitions (and I also realized that hd:9 was the correct partition) That \\ means system folder (blessed), using only one \ would mean root folder, which should work in your case. Can you see your files with 'dir hd:,\'? After an unsuccessful install, I switched to a same model Rev D. iMac and got some weird things happening with OF - so I pieced together the drive from one iMac and the motherboard from the other - still not able to get the installer to boot using the above command - so I'm thinking - OK - figure out the paths to the USB flash drive and try it that way... I'm planning to try the USB booting in near future. NOW - I'm finding different instructions that say... quote: There is an all-in-one file |hd-media/boot.img.gz| which contains all the installer files (including the kernel) as well as *yaboot* and its configuration file. Create a partition of type Apple_Bootstrap on your USB stick using *mac-fdisk*'s *|C|* command and extract the image directly to that: # zcat boot.img.gz /dev//|sda2|/ NOTE - the same instructions 2 paragraphs later explain that you have to have a machine already running Linux to accomplish this :P That's the problem. I don't really understand the difference between an Apple_HFS and an Apple_Bootstrap partition. Both are HFS. Probably the latter is a requirement for OF booting. This may depend on OF version, too. So I'm thinking that I need to back up and find out which of 3 possible approaches to invest the next 2 weeks of my life trying to figure out. 1) try partitioning the hard-drive and loading the boot.image files - and hope I canget the installer running and am able to repartition the free space on the hard drive via the installer This should be possible. The only question really is whether you need to make the partition Apple_Bootstrap or not. Normally partitions created in OS 9 are Apple_HFS. 2) invest a few days into trying to figure out fdisk and hope I can get the flash drivemethod to work Same as above. Probably harder. 3) throw a second drive in my G4 hoping that I can get the installer to boot off my main drive Same as above. I'm all open to suggestions at this point - Either method I choose seems like I'm going to need to invest quite a few hours - And at this point I'm a bit afraid of what I'm going to run into. I mean, I'm already seeing stuff like... (?) installing modprobe on the flash drive(?) using hattrib to bless the yaboot file(I believe both of these are Linux commands) Yes, they are. One problem with usb drives is that it can take some time before the appear to the kernel. Blessing should not be necessary, if you explicitly name the file on the boot command line. (?) using ybin... (but I'm assuming this is after the install) Me too. For booting the installed system, you would need a small (800k) partition of type Apple_Bootstrap and this is where ybin installs yaboot. This should be taken care of during the installation. I mean, I'm feeling torn...I've spent 4 days trying to do this, and I don't want to give up. I'm not afraid of trying to learn...it's why I want to install Linux, but I'm not even trusting my own judgment at this point. The instructions made it seem like methods (1) and (2) were entirely possible. Method (3) seems like it should work even if the others don't. Don't give up. You are probably not far from success.

Re: Installation Open-firmware error Rev B iMac
2008/4/28, Bryan Pierce [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I am trying to install Debian on a 333Mhz iMac for the first time.
Actually this speed would imply Rev. D.
And copied the contents of the boot.image.gz to the rood level of my
hard-drive (single partition)
What is the partition type (file system)? OF cannot handle any type.
The image contains its own file system (HFS?), and the idea is to raw
copy it over an unused partition of correct size.
I copied (only) the contents of the boot.img to the root level of my drive
(since the files seemed to be duplicates)
The directory lists ...
boot.img.gz
boot.msg
initrd.gz
vmlinux
yaboot.conf
Unzipped contents of boot.img.gz ...
boot.msg
initrd.gz
vmlinux
yaboot.conf
yaboot
Yes, those 5 are enough. It should work, if OF understands the partition type.
O boot hd:0,yaboot { seems to be the correct drive partition }
How do you know? Usually partition 0 contains the partition map and it
is followed by several Apple driver etc. partitions. If you don't
specify any partition, i.e. boot hd:,yaboot, OF should find the first
bootable partition.
I left the initrd.gz file unzipped (the config file refers to initrd.gz)
Yes, that's correct.
Should I try powerpc64 intaller? (only I only see cdrom/ and netboot/ on
the ftp)
((I tried but got the same error))
No hope, iMac uses powerpc32.
Should I try an older version of Debian?
Not yet. The failure seems to indicate that yaboot is not even found by OF.

Re: a couple of small sound issues with mac mini
2008/4/28, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: For the most part, sound on my mac mini in debian unstable works well; i can even get sound out of the built-in speaker and plugged-in speakers at the same time (plugged into the headphone jack) which I couldn't do in Macosx. However, I have a couple of issues. Do you have Automute enabled (unmuted)? If yes, then it looks like it is not working. If no, then it works all right. In earlier alsa releases, Mac Mini was using the same snd-powermac driver as did all older PowerMacs. But I assume that Debian Unstable has the support only in snd-aoa (AppleOnboardAudio). You can check which you use with: lsmod | grep ^snd 1. Pcspkr doesn't work. Is there any way to get this or is there just no speaker equivalent to the internal speaker on a pc? I wouldn't mind so much except that I'm blind and (1) it helps when backspacing to hear the beep when the whole line is erased, and (20 there's a sound one can hear through the speaker when gdm loads that I can't hear. What do you mean with pcspkr? Isn't it the same as built-in speaker and internal speaker. You mean the beep? That's how it was called in snd-powermac driver of which I have experience (not on Mac Mini, though). There is probably no separate speaker for beep. The implementation in snd-powermac generates PCM sound and plays it out through the normal channels. I was able to see that in dmesg output there was a line saying something like: PowerMac Beep attached to .../input... Do you have a control named Beep? It can also depend on the terminal emulator and its settings. All terminals probably won't produce the beep sounds. 2. I can't seem to control my volume except by the pcm control; there seems to be no separate volume control. I can open alsamixer and arrow on the speakers but nothing happens; same on headphones. . I can mute and unmute fine but can only control volume with the one pcm control. this isn't a big problem, but i just want to make sure my setup is correct and that this is how it is supposed to work. The soundcard shown when I open alsamixer is SoundByLayout. I assume that you get what the driver gives you. It looks like the implementation could be better. But don't take my word for this.

Re: How to build ps3-utils from source
2008/4/24, Norberto Feliberty [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi how can I verify if I have properly build and installed ps3-utils? I tried ps3videomode to switch my screen resolution but it says command not found. the build output did not show any errors when running ./configure, make, and make install. I also did the same for the ps3-utils/lib directory and no errors there eitehr. Thanks for the help all. Perhaps you don't have the command on the path. The output from 'make install' should give you a hint about where the commands were installed. Or './configure --help' should show the defaults which you apparently didn't change. Look for PREFIX and EPREFIX. I have no experience on this exact package, but mostly they follow these rules. Once you have located the command directory, you can add it to your execution path by editing the file .profile or .bash_profile in your home directory. If you find the commands in, say, /usr/local/bin, you would append the line: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin Afterwards you must logout an login to make it work.

The first list is before I start the rmmod and the second is during while the terminal is hung at 'Unloading Alsa modules'. No difference that I can see to apparently whatever is causing the problem stops anything from happening. Well, it might not be an ALSA (driver) problem, after all. Apparently 'Killing processes using ALSA' is not doing what it says. The topmost sound driver module, snd-aoa-codec-toonie, is used by 2 (processes). And kernel module unloader probably hangs.

Re: Boot Floppies PPC Old World Mac
I once installed Debian Sarge (a bit newer than Woody) on a similar machine, 6400/180, and was quite happy with it. It had an IMS TT graphics card and a USB2 card, and those worked too. The IMS card needed some special depth settings for colors to work in X. The kernel was probably v. 2.4.18. The other alternative, a 2.2 kernel, wouldn't allow USB to work. I guess I had to use the boot-floppy-hfs image from Woody to start the installation. Risto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
