Hi all, |
| 2 |
Thanks in advance to Mat and others who responded to my questions |
| 3 |
over the last couple of days. The Mac Mini now boots Gentoo, starts up |
| 4 |
MythTV automatically and runs very nicely as far as I can tell so far. |
| 5 |
I still have some issues I need to solve and am hoping for some more |
| 6 |
guidance. Thanks. |

1) Sound. What's the proper Alsa driver for this machine? lspci shows |

I'm used to seeing a sound chip listed on X86 machines but none here |
| 34 |
so I assume it's buried in the chip set. What do I choose during |
| 35 |
kernel config. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
By the way - if it matters when I boot from the Gentoo install disk I |
| 38 |
see this info on the screen: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Apple|DMASOUND |
| 41 |
driver = dmasound_pmac |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I searched for dmasound in make menuconfig but it only finds Atari stuff. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
rc-update show does not show Alsa running from the CD boot so I'm |
| 46 |
unclear what sound driver this might be. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
2) yaboot and the new kernel. Double checking the right steps |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
From the PPC install docs after I build the kernel I need to copy it to /boot |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
# cd /usr/src/linux |
| 54 |
# cp vmlinux /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3_A |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
(Just appending _A so as to not overwrite the kernel I'm currently running.) |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I would then modify my yaboot file like this: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
boot=/dev/hda2 |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:2 |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
partition=4 |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
delay=10 |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
timeout=40 |
| 69 |
default=2.6.24-gentoo-r3 |
| 70 |
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot |
| 71 |
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
image=/boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3 |
| 74 |
label=2.6.24-gentoo-r3 |
| 75 |
root=/dev/hda4 |
| 76 |
partition=4 |
| 77 |
append="video=radeonfb:1024x768-8@60" |
| 78 |
read-only |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
image=/boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3_A |
| 81 |
label=2.6.24-gentoo-r3_A |
| 82 |
root=/dev/hda4 |
| 83 |
partition=4 |
| 84 |
append="video=radeonfb:1024x768-8@60" |
| 85 |
read-only |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
and once everything is in place run ybin -v. |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
Does that sound correct? |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
I'm fine with cleaning things up later as this is a learning |
| 92 |
experience for me. I don't mind doing things a few times to learn the |
| 93 |
process. I just don't want to hose up the machine as it's currently |
| 94 |
working and I'd prefer not to start over. |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
Thanks, |
| 97 |
