Hi,
I got a copy of CS 1.2 from a friend. YDL's website says that the iBooks are
officially supported, but I've had nothing but problems.
First Problem: iBook shuts off loading kernel after displayiong something
what I think is pmac_ide.
Solution: I got kernel 2.2.15pre19 from Paulus' website.
Second Problem: During install, after copying the files, the mouse
configurator fails. If I run this seperately from within YDL it gives a
segfault.
Solution: ?
Third Problem: X setup fails because the mouse is not configured
Solution: Fix problem 2
I've seen mention of power failure randomly, but that's not this, and I've
read of people have the kernel sit where it says booting... and the only
time I ever got a problem like what was when I had the append="video....
statement in the yaboot.conf file.
I heard a mention of having to set some adb_xpmac_compat in the kernel args
to use the trackpad, but when i put that in the append="" statement, it sits
at booting...
I'm probably doing something wrong, because I'm can get around linux but up
untill I got my laptop back, I've never had a system I can put it on.
I appreciate any help, and please email a direct response to RyanDV@mac.com
I prefer direct communication, and I don't have much time to look through
digests.
thanks,
ryan
