iBook G4 questions

Hi there, i've recently installed Gentoo GNU/Linux on my 1GHz iBook
and was wondering about what was unsupported and known problems, thus
far i've found out that sleep does not work except through hacks, how
about audio? I am unable to get audio working both with the OSS and
the ALSA drivers due to dmasound_pmac having some unknown symbols in
the module and therefore refusing to load and in alsa due to the pmac
module accessing a "bad area".

Re: iBook G4 questions [In reply to]

For the record here are my OSS and ALSA errors respectively:

$ modprobe dmasound_pmac
WARNING: Error inserting pmac_nvram
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r4/kernel/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_nvram.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting dmasound_pmac
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r4/kernel/sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_pmac.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

And this is the ( i think ) ALSA error during bootup ( from dmesg ):

but there is a kind of emulation (pbbuttonsd).

I have also got an 1Ghz ibook (G4) and it worked fine "out of the box"
(I use OSS).
Please mail me and I will send you all configuration files you want.

Bye
