Hi, I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1 (kernel 2.4.2 standard) on a Mac G4, 400 MHz. I can no longer get sound to function properly. Using YAST2 I got the Awacs driver to function once; that is, KDE2 would play WAV files, XMMS would work, etc. As soon I rebooted all was lost. The above files will play as static. The best I can get is the DMA sound driver to work which gives the standard system beeps but nothing else. ALSA is installed and I've tweeked the modules.conf file forever without results. Interestingly the exact upgrade on my son's G3 350 MHz B&W works fine; YAST2 configured the sound correctly the first time. Does anyone know about this?
Did you try to run alsaconf? It should do the right thing [tm]. alsa should handle the endian cases with sound files better.
Second: with 7.0 I changed the boot priority to MacOS by swapping lines in the os.chooser file so I had to press the space bar to launch Linux. This doesn't seem to function anymore with 7.1. In fact 7.1 seems to ignore the os.chooser file. I'm currently stuck with Linux as the default OS. How do I switch it to default to MacOS?
Can you send the relevant parts of /tmp/ppc_lilo/os-chooser and /etc/lilo.conf? Mine looks like that: <BOOT-SCRIPT> " get-key-map" " keyboard" open-dev $call-method dup 20 dump 5 + c@ 08 = if " Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot hd:8,\\:tbxi" eval else " screen" output " Booting Yaboot ..." cr " boot hd:9,\\yaboot" eval then </BOOT-SCRIPT> The newer lilo should handle the "default = " line to allow macos as default, but its possible that the implementation is buggy.
