Apple iBook draait Linux

Linux Today bericht dat ze erin zijn geslaagd om LinuxPPC te booten op een iBookje.

"I've posted a first set of patches with a binary kernel at: http://calvaweb.calvacom.fr/bh40/test.html

This one still contains obvious hacks and my iBook's PMU is shutting down the machine on me way too often, but I managed to boot and use the LinuxPPC Q3 installer with it.

- There are big problems with the PMU. It seems to work with the same basic protocol, but: I get occasional "ack still high" errors, I never get the CB1 interrupt, and it began shutting the machine down on me randomly when probing IDE or USB at boot since this evening. (It worked with no changes from this morning to this evening though). I plan to look into this later tonight.

...beetje wazig technisch geneuzel. Check dit artikel van Linux Today voor meer info.

PMU = Power Manegment Unit.

Stukie HW inside iedere Powerbook van Apple , ook het stukje HW wat het vaaxt kapot gaat.

Mischien toch nog een reden om Apple tekopen (LunixPPC).
