They've actually stopped building fc2 updates for ppc now,
unfortunately.

TEST: Sleep patch #6

Ok, here's the 7th version of the sleep patch for ATI based albooks &
iBook G4. Other machine users, please test too as it may cause
regressions (or improvements) as well.
The cache flush problem happens to not be completely fixed yet :( There is
something going on that I don't completely explain yet, might be related to
an errata of some CPU revisions. This version of the patch adds a load/flush
loop before the L2 HW flush on the 745x that appear to make the thing stable
on the machines I've tested on. It's a good enough workaround for now, I'm
working with freescale to find out what's really going on though.

It's all good.

My options were plenty, including the new kernel. The problem was that
yaboot had truncated the label from
2.6.9-1.1009_FC4 --> 2.6.9-1.1009_FC
and so as I set the default to the later the lookup was failing. Kind of
weird. Anyway, using the right label worked right away.
Thanks for your help.

problem with yaboot
by Ray Auge
hey guys,
I did an update on my ibook2 (dual usb, 600Mhz, mid 2001) last night. It
completed ok. Rebooted a couple of times with the old kernel (still the
default), no troubles.
Decided, without testing, to set the new kernel (1009_FC4) as the
default. So, in yaboot.conf set the default parameter to the new kernel
which had been added to the config OK. Ran 'ybin', then 'reboot' and got
this error.
Please wait, loading kernel...
/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:3,\\2.6.9-1.1009_FC4: No such
file or directory
boot:
It does this even for the old kernel... any ideas?
Thanks for any help you can give...

TEST: Sleep patch #6
by Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Ok, here's the 6th version of the sleep patch for ATI based albooks &
iBook G4. Other machine users, please test too as it may cause
regressions (or improvements) as well.
This one fixes finally the cache flush problem that made cpufreq (on machines
using the PMU for the switch) and sleep/wake unreliable occasionally (memory
corruption would occur on some CPUs at least). It improves bits here or there
too, and adds the sungem wake-on-lan feature.
There are still pending issues, like cpufreq on some machines will
"think" it's running at full speed on wakeup while it's in fact running
at slow speed (thankfully not the opposite). I don't think I'll fix this one
in 2.6.9, but rather in 2.6.10.
http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/albook-ibookg4-sleep-6.diff
I'll post a 2.6.10-rc2-bk* based version of the patch soon.
Ben.
