Just a note about pmud on my PB G3 99. I tried the pmud-0.6-1.ppc.rpm
version of pmud and had problems just after booting during login. After
typing in my login name, the followind message was displayed - "VFS file
limit of 4096 opened files exceeded." A second message complained that the
shared object linker could not find a library. After these messages, the
password prompt was displayed. I was able to login and use the system but I
removed pmud until I can discover the cause of the warning messages.

Subject: wake from sleep and DMA problem
I have a PB G3 99 with 128 MB Ram running CS 1.2. I have several partitions,
including a Mac HFS+ with OS 9, a small Mac HFS for sharing, and a linux and
swap. I have a strange boot behavior. If the machine has been off for
while,
over a couple of hours, and I try to boot into Linux without first booting
in
the Mac side, the startup sequence stalls at the message: hdc: Enabling
MultiWord DMA 2. This message is repeated, and then the system hangs, and I
have to do a Ctrl-apple-power key restart. If I boot back into the mac
side,
and then do a restart, the linux startup runs fine.
Now, today, I downloaded pmud, got it running, put the PB to sleep, and I
couldn't wake the machine up without a cold reboot. I saw a message from
Paul
Lukas about this in July, but no resolution. And this time, I get repeated
bevahior of the linux boot process hanging at the DMA message.
Any ideas?
