Problem installing debian amd-64 on a HP
Hi, I've got a HP DX5150 which needs to have Linux installed on it, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. I'm using Len Sorensen's sarge installer with the 2.6.12 kernel, downloaded from http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/. I haven't been able to get a dump from lspci, but here is what HP says about the unit: # AMD Athlon. 64 or Sempron # ATI Radeon® XPRESS 200 chipset # ATI Radeon 9600 integrated graphics . standard VGA and DVI-D ports # Supports up to 4-GB of PC 3200 (DDR 400) Synch DRAM Memory # 6 rear USB 2.0 ports and 2 front USB 2.0 ports # Realtek AC97 integrated audio with internal speaker # Integrated PCI-E Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet NIC http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-64287-89301-321860-f49-457124.html Problem: The installation hangs when it is at 100% of the detecting hardware part. I can at that moment switch back and forth between the consoles for a couple of minutes, then the whole system freezes and I have to hardboot. This is how I did it: When the installation starts I switch to console 2 and modprobes sata-uli, ahci and sata_sil. The log said it found my hard drive so I thought everything was ok. I continue with the installation, and again, the whole installation stops at 100% when detecting the hardware. Before the system froze I looked at the log console and it said it's searching for the installation media, and before that an error message claiming it can't find ide-mod, ide-probe-mod and ide-detect. And then it freezes. In the BIOS configuration I have only 3 options to choose from regarding the sata controller and I've tried all of them: * sata disabled * IDE (Which I presume is IDE emulation) * RAID Any suggestions what to try now?

Re: Problem installing debian amd-64 on a HP
your mboard likely as pata and sata connectors if you have sata raid just turn it off. its most likely a phat lie and all it is is a bios hack to load from software RAID'd drives. it boots then hands over to the cpu. in terms of performance etc there is no reason not to just turn it off and use pure linux software raid (which is what i do and what is recommended). that said i have seen ways to get it working 'properly', but like i said its a tad pointless and very decieving. anyway just turn of 'sata raid' in the bios completely. also you could try turning off sata and seeing what happens and just turning stuff off in general... try the official daily cdimages http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/amd64/ or completely http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/amd64/current/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso ive givent up completely on the 'stable' installer cds as im a testing whore and it saves me installing then promptly updating everything. so i start 98% bleeding edge rather than 20% Dean Andreas wrote: Hi, I've got a HP DX5150 which needs to have Linux installed on it, but it wasn't as easy as I thought.

Problems with dual-core
Hello, Yesterday I had a go at getting sarge running on my dual-core amd64 system. The UP install kernel worked, but the smp kernel didn't fare so well- log at http://erno.iki.fi/tmp/sarge-amd64-oops. The kernel from unstable works a bit better, but is missing the fix for the tsc bug (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105) so the clock can't keep time... unfortunately the boot option workarounds mentioned in above bug don't work for me. Should I report these via the debian BTS? It would be nice if the stable kernel got fixed at some point too, to get security updates etc. -- erno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I can't turn off RAID without enabling IDE emulation and that's not good either. The choises I have in the bios menu are either no sata at all OR IDE (emulation) OR RAID.

Yes, I did that, with the result being that the installer couldn't find the drive at all.

Re: i need to run office 11 in my debian sarge amd64, any idea?

Sven,would you mind sharing the steps you took to get Wine working? If you haveenough time, possibly including IE?
Sure, no problem. While checking my installation I have to correct
myself - Wine runs in the ia32 chroot and not proprietary under amd64.
But once you have a chroot this does not really matter anymore.
1. Implement chroot as described in the amd64-HOWTO
2. Go into the chroot (dchroot -d)
3. as root: apt-get install cabextract (this is needed later on to handle Windows cab-files)
4. as root: apt-get install wine. I use etch/testing, and the wine is
version 20050628. This is one of the first versions not using the
config file anymore but a Windows registry - so be careful when
googling for more information that you really refer to the correct wine
version.
4. as user: Save your ~/.wine directory to a safe place (cp .wine
.wine.ORIG). This directory contains your WHOLE windows directory
structure, and I strongly recommed that you safe this directory before
any major installation attempt. If something fails with your software
installations you can easily restore your former configuration by just
restoring the .wine directory
5. Follow http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/ and download and run Sergio's script - this really did everything for me.
6. The script installs everything in .ies4linux. To have standard Debian again: mv .ies4linux .wine
7. cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
8. ln -s /tmp t: (you can choose any other valid temp directory but it
must be symlinked to t: - you can probably change this in the registry,
but I find the symlink much easier)
9. your dosdevices should now contain c:--../drive_c, t:--/tmp,
and z:--/ (alternatively, you may point z: to your homedir)
It may be necessary to copy some original Windows dll files into the
wine directory, I don't remember this exactly. Best is after any new
software installation that you study very carefully the output in the
wine console. It tells you which dll's are required, and you can simply
copy them from a 'real' Windows C:\windows\system32 to
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system. Then restart your application and check
console output again.
Worth a try:
wineboot ('reboots' your wine-windows)
winecfg
regedit
notepad
This should give you a start. And remember: always save ~/.wine before installing or configuring anything new...
I have written this out of my mind, maybe I have forgotten something.
Feel free to send me an email if you have a problem somewhere or need a
more specific configuration advise.

Does anyone get any hotplug or udev events run when they plug into the usb bus? I'm not sure what's wrong, but on my system no scripts are run unless I coldplug /etc/init.d/hotplug restart.

Re: udev hotplug
Not sure, no later than a few weeks. I can plug in a compact flash card in my memory read and it pops up great on my desktop. However my usb cell phone and epson printer won't work when plugged in until I restart hotplug. The printerconf says 'Paused: Unable to send print file to printer: No such device', until I restart hotplug and resume printer. The hotplug script for my phone won't work either until I restart hotplug. Thanks for your help, this is killing me.
