Greetings everybody,
I just reinstalled Debian on the powermac7,3 dual G5 for which I often
called for help on this list last year.
It still freezes every second day, and I had the following message two
minutes ago:
Bad page state in process 'swapper'
page:cfd14290
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But, as I said in the beginning, my knowledge may well be outdated.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

Probably not. My experiences are very similar to yours. I'm writing

I have experience with a MPC8379E. The user-space will run just
fine. You just need to build your own kernel for your specific board.
I meant MPC8349E. MPC8379E is for another project and I do not have
one yet. :)

Hans,

Debian installed on is a PPC 5400/200

I once installed Debian Sarge (a bit newer than Woody) on a similar

needed some special depth settings for colors to work in X. The kernel
