Is 2.4.30 better or worse than Debian 2.4.27? Is ext3 stable on these kernels? Thanks, John |

John: As far as I know ext3 file system is stable on these kernels and was recomended to me on this list. I am using it. I own a Powerbook 1400 and both the 2.4.27 and the 2.4.30 worked for me. I went back to a 2.4.27 kernel patched by Tobias Netzel because initially I had some problems with the PMU bios powering off the machine unexpectedly. There is also another kernel with a newer gcc library than the others compiled by Florien I think. (2.4.30-gcc - or something like that). However, I think that the problem that I was having with my laptop was from a toshiba micro-drive that I was using in the nubus port. The computer could not manage its powering properly. All ather cards have worked fine. It may depend on which model of Mac you are using also, when deciding which kernel to use. As far as I understand, the main contributors on this subject are - Raylin Knight, Tobias Netzel, Daniel Gimpelevich, Florien Boelstler, and Ice Trip. If you search thru their comments in this list you will find all the answers that you are looking for. Usually, they will answers questions on this list very quickly. Good Luck.

Tobias, may you post the updates that seem to solve the PMU problems? Thanks, Florian |

I discovered that they didn't solve the problems. They just occur less =20= frequently. But when there are three interrupts coming in at (nearly) the same time =20= somehow the interrupt controllers don't interrupt the CPU. I'm working on solving this problem. I recently discovered that the CPU power saving features were disabled =20= in the kernel sources. I enabled them and they work without problems - with up to 20-25=B0C = less =20 CPU core temperature when the system is idle. I'll post the patches when I have solved the interrupt handling issues.

Hello All: Has anyone gotten the video out to work under linux on the pb1400 laptops? Thx, Vito |

Hi John, John Dalbec wrote: > Is 2.4.30 better or worse than Debian 2.4.27? At the moment it depends on which kind of machine you will run a specific kernel. The official released 2.4.30p1 kernel and the one that was posted on the list (2.4.30 built with GCC3.x) is supporting specific features better than 2.4.27 CVS-based(!) kernels. From a more general view the kernel 2.4.27 is Debian-based, i.e. it contains several security patches not found on vanilla 2.4.27 kernels. I don't know whether those patches (or some of theme) are found in 2.4.30 (since that CVS module is more or less based on vanilla kernel source). However I got a little bit stuck regarding keeping up our CVS with latest kernel source from Debian Sarge (which is still 2.4.27-10). I started to apply kernel-source-2.4.27-10sarge1. Today Debian released 2.4.27-10sarge2 again with again about 20 security-related patches. My thesis is almost finished, expect some updates in April. > Is ext3 stable on these kernels? Yes, we think so. The instability reported regularly is something related to PowerBook 1400's PMU -- not the file system driver itself. I guess it will behave likewise using other file systems.
