Re: Powerbook hard freeze summary (sort of)

Thanks for the answer.
How can we proceed to further debug this problem?

I have to admit that  am not very experienced with low level hardware 
issues and apple hardware in general.
It seems that there is more than one person having these kind of problems.

It might as well be a design problem of the Powerbooks. Can any of the 
hardware kernel hackers comments on the differences in architecture
for powerbooks and the other G3s? Maybe a linux driver is written sloppy
in this area not taking in account how the hardware actually works?

The Lombard PowerBook uses the same architecture as the first generation
iMacs (and this same memory controller is also used on the beige and B&W
G3s at least). If there is a problem, it's either a memory controller
problem (bogus revision ? incorrect setup ?), or a specific issue with
the design of the memory connector/logic.

The Pismo uses the same chipset as the new iMacs, G4s (sawtooth) and iBook.
