jack-audio-connection-kit build needed
Hi, In order to complete the final bits of the GNOME 2.6 transition, we need to get jack-audio-connection-kit compiled on alpha. The latest version hasn't been tried by the buildd yet in the last two weeks. Can it be scheduled to do so? Thanks in advance, Jordi -- Jordi Mallach Pérez -- Debian developer http://www.debian.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sindominio.net/ GnuPG public key information available at http://oskuro.net/~jordi/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Problem with md autodetect on Alpha platform?
Hi, I guess this may be Alpha-specific pain... I have a problem autodetecting raid arrays on Debian Alpha. 1. I can start raid by using raidtools and /etc/raidtab 2. I see superblocks are in place (by mdadm -E) 3. Kernel (2.4.26) is compiled with the following parameters CONFIG_MD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y CONFIG_MD_RAID0=y CONFIG_MD_RAID1=y 4. Partitions have fd flag -- 5 partitions: # start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a:1*9*8* ext2 b: 107566 fd c: 76 337 262 fd d: 338 40366 fd e: 339 1106 768 fd 5. md driver starts but does not find any partitions -- md: raid0 personality registered as nr 2 md: raid1 personality registered as nr 3 md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. --- I need to configure autodection to mirror root partition. I moved aboot.conf in ext2 boot partition so it's not a problem for aboot to start kernel. Could it be a problem with type fd in BSD partitioning table? Many thanks in advance for any help!

Software raid autodetection is specific to MS-DOS partition tables. 4. Partitions have fd flag -- 5 partitions: # start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a:1*9*8* ext2 b: 107566 fd c: 76 337 262 fd d: 338 40366 fd e: 339 1106 768 fd The above appears to be a BSD disklabel, therefore 1. I can start raid by using raidtools and /etc/raidtab this is your only option. I need to configure autodection to mirror root partition. I moved aboot.conf in ext2 boot partition so it's not a problem for aboot to start kernel. If you use an initial ramdisk, you don't need autodetection working in order to enable mirroring on the root partition. There is even support for this in the Debian raid packages, in the form of mkinitrd hooks. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
newest debian-installer on XP1000
hello: I downloaded burned and installed the newest (2004-06-08 posted on alphalinux.org) debian installer on my xp1000. Everything is smooth, i chose an automatic, multi-user partition map on a single 9gig scsi disk. I changed the / partition to ext2 for the aboot and continued. however, the aboot installation refused to install on the / partition, telling me it was not ex2. Anyone else encountering this? How can get aboot to install on /? - Andrew Diller - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The images that will give the best results for alpha are currently the sid_d-i images, located at http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/alpha/current/. Please note that you will also need to manually edit your partition table on your boot drive to leave space at the front of the disk for aboot to install to, as this is not yet handled automatically for you. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer

Hi Andrew! i've better success on my ES40's with the 20040713 build: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/alpha/ still somewhat problematic, it installs e100 instead of eepro100, but it may work ok for you ... -- michael On Wed, 14 Jul 2004, Andrew Diller wrote: hello: I downloaded burned and installed the newest (2004-06-08 posted on alphalinux.org) debian installer on my xp1000.

Re: newest debian-installer on XP1000
I used the one at: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/alpha/current/ but I'll try again and leave some space at the top of the disk for aboot. What does it need, a few megs? -andy On Jul 14, 2004, at 4:08 PM, Steve Langasek wrote: What is the URL of the ISO image you downloaded?

Re: newest debian-installer on XP1000
OK I try with one meg free. I actually have 2 xp1000s, one I'll use for a more stable machine with beta4, the other I can test the dailies and see what's up. So far Sarge looks nice. It's been a few years since I played with Debian, mostly it was on my Ipaq. I am thinking of using this alpha with Sarge and migrating over from an athalon RHEL 3.1 server. I'm getting sick of RH. -andy On Jul 14, 2004, at 5:15 PM, Steve Langasek wrote: On Wed, Jul 14, 2004 at 05:07:49PM -0400, Andrew Diller wrote: I used the one at: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/alpha/current/ but I'll try again and leave some space at the top of the disk for aboot.

Please note that there is no substantial difference between beta4 and the dailies in terms of the installed system, the differences are only in the installer itself. Also, beta4 doesn't work very well; I think at this point it may be broken on all architectures, if memory serves. You're better off sticking to the dailies. You may also want to wait until tomorrow's daily, as it turns out the sid_d-i dailies for alpha have been off-line for the better part of a month and I'm not sure of the status of the last build. The builds should be happening daily as of tomorrow, however. So far Sarge looks nice. It's been a few years since I played with Debian, mostly it was on my Ipaq.
