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.

(2) All sound is always muted.

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
anything for iMac G5.

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)

There seem to be several copies of installation instructions for PPC and
they seem quite a bit different.
There are several different PPC computers.

Actually this speed would imply Rev. D.

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

Sarge had 2.6.8 (and some 2.4 which I don't remeber), the kernel
versions you mention implies that you installed woody.
You are probably right. I wish I could remember how I did it. At least
now I have kernels 2.2.20-pmac and 2.4.27 (self-compiled i

Hi running./bootstrap gives the following output. From the output, it looks
like I am missing some dependencies?
You are building from a tar.gz archive? If this is the case, you don't
need to run bootstrap at all, as it's been told earlier in

Hi, I have just installed Debain on my playstation 3 using a Debain

I tried looking in through an ssh tunnel, removing the modules and
watching the list of modules still loaded. The first list is before I
start the rmmod and the second is during while the terminal is hung at
'Unloading Alsa modules'. No

Probably a bug, somewhere. I had similar messages when I tested a
driver (snd-powermac) that didn't release the IRQs it had used. Which
version of kernel are you using?

But, as I said in the beginning, my knowledge may well be outdated.
Perhaps others on this list have more recent experiences of installing
(and running) oldworld macs.
Probably not. My experiences are very similar to yours. I'm writing

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
Alsactl utility is used to save and restore the settings. See 'man
alsactl' for details. The settings file is mentioned. It is
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state on my system. Probably some system init
script in /etc/init.d should use alsactl, perhaps /etc/init.d/alsa.
