PPC kernel hang

Posted on 15/5/2004, 11:45 pm, by Colin Charles, under Fedora, GNOME, Life, Linux, LinuxPPC.

Not eating for about 45 hours was fun. Even while at the karaoke place last night, it was really hard not to eat, but I guess that means if pledged, I can do it. General happiness.

Fedora’s kernel-2.6.5-1.358 (on PowerPC) exhibits the same behaviour as a mainline 2.6.6 – it oopses when running ifconfig eth0 mtu 1300. That aside, GNOME 2.6 got hosed as well! Hosing GNOME 2.4 was relatively easy (like if the laptop ran out of power), but I thought 2.6 was rock solid – seems Nautilus is refusing to come back up, the bonobo-activation-server is all gone awry, and the panel is dying. Different users, etc… makes no difference.

    Make sure your clock isn't saying 1901. That happened to me several times when my tibook went into a weird state. Not at all obvious, but running rdate -s seems to have fixed bonobo/gconf/oaf.
