 |
|
hoi guys!
well,... I had this problem from the very beginning, than it disappeared, returned with some kernel-/pbbuttonsd-versions, disappeared again...
sometimes my iBook (12", 1.2Ghz G4, BTO from feb 2005) simply dies, just like when I press the powerbutton for a few seconds
no noticeable reason, no heavy load or something, I'm surfing, typing or something, the cpu mostly 80%+ idle and *zap!* screen black, harddisk makes a nice "help! voltage down! I die...!"-noise and silence.
no errors or anything in the logs. nothing.
this only happened with gentoo/Linux so far, the frequency changes extremly with different kernel/pbbuttonsd-versions and mostly I think it's finaly gone... once I had a uptime of 14 days! (suspend=godmode for uptime!  )
I think it's the pbbuttonsd telling the hardware some shit, this ****** also let the system freeze sometimes the service is startet, mostly when the reason for reboot was on of this power-outages...
some info
