==================================
LinuxPPC News: October 1999

Linux booted on the iBook!

In a recent message to the linuxppc-dev mailing list, Linux/PPC developer
Benjamin Herrenschmidt has succeeded in making the
iBook boot into the LinuxPPC installer! Ben writes: "I've posted a first set
of patches with a binary kernel at:

http://calvaweb.calvacom.fr/bh40/test.html

This one still contains obvious hacks and my iBook's PMU is shutting down
the machine on me way too often, but I managed to boot
and use the LinuxPPC Q3 installer with it." The PMU issues have since been
resolved, and a second test kernel has been released.

Congratulations, Ben!
