FC4 and G5

[Zoltan Kota]

Hi,

Is there anybody using FC4 final on an iMac G5? 
I have problems that I didn't have with test3 (as much as I can say after 
a short test period).

I could install FC4, but within some
minutes of using, the system doesn't respond and I get the following
messages on the console:

ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x4
 hda: lost interrupt
 mpic_enable_irq timeout
 ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x4

Moreover, pushing the TAB button (tab completion in shell at the console) 
results in a scrolling screen and the above error at once.
What's this?

There seems to be a few regressions in the final release which was 
working better in FC4test3 for the PPC architecture.  This is probably 
one of them. Put them in bugzilla as you come across these

Best discussed on [e-mail] (and there's a little
archive of discussion about this on the iMac G5)

Is the video card a radeon? Bugzilla it, but also try: "linux
video=ofonly" or even offb to see if you get much further
