 Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2004 2:48 pm Post subject: iBook 800MHz, kernel 2.6.8_r4 w/Sleep, Sound, X etc. |
 |
|
Lot's of people are always trying to get an iBook 800MHz working, with a recent kernel, so I pulled up the most recent kernel I could find and got most everything anyone would usually need working.
I'm running the development-sources-2.6.8_rc4
X works
Sound works
DVD playback works
Sleep works
Firewire and USB disks work
Airport and Ethernet work
Regretably, I couldn't get the Bootsplash to work. The kernel wouldn't compile with the patch applied (The latest patch was for 2.6.7)
Some of my config files can be found here. If I should post some other files as well, let me know.

thanks.
im going to update to 2.6.8 soon, im on 2.6.7 now, and my sleep isnt working (ibook 800mhz g3)
but i have one question for you:
do you compile in, or module everything, or a mixture?
can you list the things that are modules, or just give an lsmod when you have everything set up and working?

The only things I left as modules were the Airport and Hermes modules. I'll be applying the monitor and scan patches to these drivers shortly. Everything else is compiled in.
| Code: | bash-2.05b# modprobe -l
/lib/modules/2.6.8-rc4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8-rc4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hermes.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8-rc4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airport.ko |

Nope. 800MHz iBooks have Airport regular.
Sorry...

I don't think so. I haven't heard of anyone getting it to work, and I don't have dial-up...
sorry.

I've not gotten to trying it yet, but, there is some info on getting it to work in the Gentoo PPC FAQ:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml
This part of the doc says:
| Quote: | Will the internal modem in an iBook2 or PowerBook work?
Install net-dialin/hcfusbmodem which will provide /dev/ttySHCF0. Then set up ppp like usual. Further information about the installation can be found at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/install.html |
Seems like a good place to start. Post back if anyone gets this working. I'm gonna try in a week or so.

I've been playing with the latest HCF USB driver a little:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/archive/hcfusbmodem-1.01lnxt04082400powerpcfull.tar.gz
It compiles nicely on my 2.6.8-rc1 with gcc-3.4.1.
lsusb lists a device with ID ac05:0382 which I assume is the (newer) modem in my 1.25 GHz alubook since the linuxant driver supports the Apple Cadmus modem with ID 8202 (reversing the endianness: 0382--> 8203, one up from 8202 - I hope ;).
I hacked at parts of the driver but haven't got it to pick up the 8203. Instead it creates /dev/ttySHCF0 and an 8202 device appears in lsusb but connecting to it gives "no device or address".
That's all so far...

as far as i know about ibooks, is your one a g4 one? i was wandering becouse i installed gentoo once and i need it again but i do not feel so confortable to do kernel config again (took several reboots and chroot last time.... )

Devil Chicken man,
Sorry, it's a G3. You could probably use the kernel config as a basis for a G4, but stuff like the video drivers would have to change for sure, adn probably other stuff.
