This bugreport applies to a PMac 5500/225, and maybe a 6500, because they share a common motherboard. I'm booting 2.2.0-pre2 kernel with BootX. ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/linuxppc-pre-R5/RedHat.installer/vmlinux-2.2.0-pre2 No-video problem: First I'm booting with the "no video" box checked. I get a much too dark picture, I can only see a few shades from the logo. I can't see the login prompt. The last kernel I checked (2.1.127) didn't have this problem. Possible bug: palette not initialised. Then I tried without the "no video" box. Now I get no video at all. This is a problem I have since the first Kernel I've seen (2.1.24). Is there a problem with my video-chip ? I've got an ATI chip, ATY264GT-B. Audio problem: You'll see in the kernel messages that there is an error during the initialisation of AWACS. Now audio seems to be limited to 8kHz/mono. BTW: Where has this "woop" sound gone to ? I prefer it much over a simple beep... I'll try test-kernels, but please reduce them of all options (network, filesystem) that are not needed to test video/audio. I've got the usual dmesg and a dump of the OF-tree. Anybody interested in seeing this ? It's around 3k. Jens P.S.: Patch ? I'd like to, but I have not much information about the hardware. What about starting a project to document all devices in a Mac ? P.P.S: BootX vs. OF: I'm normally booting with OF, but to test kernels I'm using BootX. It's a very nice program...
