Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------
Package: kernel
Issue Date: June 02, 2001
Priority: medium
Advisory ID: YDU-20010602-1
1. Topic:
kernel-2.2.19-1i had incorrect support for
certain new Apple hardware.
2. Problem:
The initial YDL 2.0 kernel-2.2.19-1i did not properly
use a default resolution of 1024x768 on the new
2001 iBook (Dual USB) systems.
Symptoms of this problem are default resolution of
800x600 which results in a display which appears to
repeat or contain black stripes.
Additionally, revision 1i did not properly detect
the Rage128 Ultra video on the Feb. 2001 iMac computers.
3. Solution:
a) Updating via yup...
We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup)
to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
this update onto your system:
yup update kernel
(you may also yup update any of the additional kernel sub-packages
that may apply to your system from the list below)
b) Updating manually...
The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
the update. (Please use a mirror site)
ftp://ftp.terraplex.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.0/ppc/RPMS/
rpm -Fvh kernel-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm
and/or additional sub-packages:
rpm -Fvh kernel-ans-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm (for Apple Network Servers)
rpm -Fvh kernel-doc-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh kernel-smp-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm (for SMP machines)
rpm -Fvh kernel-source-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm
rpm -Fvh kernel-utils-2.2.19-1k.ppc.rpm
IMPORTANT NOTE:
BootX users will still need to copy the new /boot/vmlinux-2.2.19-1k file
to their Mac OS System Folder in order for the new kernel to be utilized.

examine the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg filename
