Is there really no activity here and no one willing to post? Or is it just
me? I can't imagine the wobblie flap even being in anyone's recollection
all these year late. :)
 
So, I got the wireless driver up finally. I think it will do and I
rethought the security issues and if I need injection at that point I can
find a card online with drivers already built.
 
Still on my list:
 
#1 X-server/radeonfb doesn't like any static configuration and I can only
bring it up at boot time with either video=radeonfb:1280x1024-32@75 or
video=ofonly maybe it's this monitor then? Either way, I only get the one
mode.
 
#2 I still would like to build a more efficient kernel. My last attempt
yielded a 3.8.13.8 with broken, missing, or unload-able modules for sound,
bluetooth, and wireless (rtl8187b). errors from make-dpkg were various.
I've tried two separate ubuntu ppc forum kernel howto's plus the PowerPC
faq flavour and still not getting it.
 
#3 There are a few other small irritations, such as coming back from
shutdown the unit will hang on various boot processes, sometimes, and not
on others. Is this an EXT4 fs feature?
 
I'd like to find someone who is familiar with ppc hardware, preferably Mac
G4/G5 non-notebook so I can pick their brain about platform specific issues
like Windfarm and power management, do I want to blacklist the *shpchp*module, should I remove the apparently deaf non-airport bluetooth
sub-board, and seeing as soundmodem is now out of the kernel and in
luserland do I want to try that or cobble up something using a tv stick and
sdr tools (no serial control other than usb means tx using vox?).
 
Other than these, life is grand and in two months I celebrate 5 years of
sobriety :)

Didn't the late PPC line suffer from bad caps? I can imagine that causing
all sorts of stability issues. Worth a look inside for any bulging or
popped caps. Not sure if there are any active PPC users on the current
'list'. May be worth some general Google searching for a PPC specific LUG
since EUGLUG doesn't have the answers.
