useing gentoo-ppc-1.4_rc7-kde.iso verified md5 and burned several copys. On a G4 powerbook 800mhz 512ram Im unable to run alot of commands mostly binarys, upon issueing a command the controling terminal(have only tryed on local console) will hang. offending commands are not listed in ps entrys and they are also not escapeable with a ctrl-c ctrl-d. kill -9 -1 resets all tty's well enough to try again. After extended sessions shell commands sometime become quite bothersome also, tab completion attempts will hang as well. I am able to procede just fine with gentoo-ppc-1.4_rc6-120403.iso
what commands are you talking about? This could be a kernel problem. (related to the page_alloc.c oops we keep getting) imho this kernel doesn't work correctly when no swwap is installed. kainz: Are there any newer versions available? Pieter
could you test rc8 or later livecds (rc8 is currently available from http://dev.gentoo.org/~pvdabeel/ppc-livecd/ ) this cd is not X enabled, (main purpose is to test the quality of the kernel on it for future livecd releases) please reopen when not working
closing - bugzilla strangeness
