I am installing a Debian Jessie on a Mac Mini PowerPC G4 system. After a couple of seconds of using the system, it generally freeze, looking at dmesg from another ssh connection I can see: [ 21.314765] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 21.459715] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07) [ 21.531076] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 23.719199] gem 0002:20:0f.0 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full-duplex [ 23.719318] gem 0002:20:0f.0 eth0: Pause is disabled [ 23.719357] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [ 180.631048] radeon 0000:00:10.0: ring 0 stalled for more than 16096msec [ 180.631062] radeon 0000:00:10.0: GPU lockup (waiting for 0x000000000000031b last fence id 0x0000000000000301 on ring 0) [ 180.768184] radeon: wait for empty RBBM fifo failed !
