As seen on IRC:
11:20 < ingvarha> kernels 3.8.8-203 and 3.9.4-200 does not boot on my G3 iBook
11:21 < ingvarha> I guess it's no point in reporting it...
11:21 < ingvarha> latest booting kernel is 3.8.8-202
11:22 < benh> ingvarha: there absolutely a point reporting it
11:22 < benh> ingvarha: I can *try* to figure it out ... however the main problem is
going to be gfx
11:22 < benh> ingvarha: all the distros are basically switching to KMS and the new
DRI based drievers
11:23 < benh> ingvarha: and a lot of the work we did for old Mac support (AGP stuff,
power management, etc...) never made it there
11:23 < benh> ingvarha: from the old radeonfb/UMS stack
11:23 < benh> ingvarha: but if it's something else that is broken, please let me
know, I'll try to fix it
Actually, 3.8.8-203 boots, and seems fairly stable. KMS does not work as expected, but it
boots, and I can use xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14 with user space config to get X working.
But 3.9.4-200 does not work. I've reported this in bugzilla, #981791, including a
screenshot. Suggestions are welcome.
And yes, I already know that Fedora doesn't support 32bit ppc officially. But as long
as the kernel boots, and 32bit userland exists, I'll stay in the game :-)
