<pre wrap="">Hi,
I have a bunch of different powermac machines that I am trying to
upgrade and/or install and am having some difficulty with the 1.8 (9,1)
powermacs as well as the newer Dual Core (2.0) machines. The other two
types of machines that I have seem to be working well enough (Dual-Proc
2.0, Dual-Proc 2.7 -- Both 7,3).
Originally the systems were running a beta version of Yellowdog that had
a custom kernel based on 2.6.12.3. That kernel works great on all of
the machines except the dual core which doesn't work at all with the
kernel (no surprise). When YDL 4.1 came out (with a kernel based on
2.6.15-rc5 plus some patches) I wanted to upgrade to that and have the
same image on all of the machines. The hope was that the 1.8ghz-single
machines would get thermal support and I would get rudimentary support
for the dual core machine. I want to have the same load on all of the
machines to make my job easier (since I have 30+ machines total to keep
running). But... The stock YDL kernel does not work so well on the
1.8ghz-single machines.... I am able to install the distribution on
these machines and reboot. The system will stay up for something like
30 seconds and then it freezes and shows:

I'm not sure what's up there but could you try 2.6.16-rc6 ? It should be
working on both machines types and have working thermal control for both
too.

It looks like 2.6.16-rc6 works fine on my single 1.8 systems.<br>

BTW is there any equivalent to the "server_mode" that the PMU driver
provides that will setup the system so that it will auto-poweron on a
power failure? Or does this need to be setup still in MacOS before
installing linux on the machine?<br>

Thanks.<br>
