Aye.. I was just under the impression that woody had been updated for x86.

blas test failures

2002-02-20 Thread Camm Maguire
Greetings!  There appears to be nothing I can do to get blas to pass
its integrity tests on sparc (vore).  Tried 2.95 and 3.0, turning off
all optimizations, -Wall, even an ultrasparc ISA.  All fail in exactly
the same place.  Mips had a similar problem in this place until I used
gcc-3.0 there instead of the default. I know its not an error in the
code, as it passes on all other arches (except hppa for other
explainable reasons), and is a *very* well established standard
upstream. 

Anyway, the failures are in the single precision real and complex C
interface tests to dot, asum, and nrm2.  Here is a sample error file:

Could go through with gdb, but don't have time right now.

Currently my only woody machine is my u60, and it is exhibiting the
problems associated with the libpng/libqt snafu. I use gnome on my
desktop, but prefer konqueror to mozilla as a webbrowser; obviously
this has put a crimp in my workstyle. =) I've noticed people in
#debian claiming it has been fixed, but the fixes don't seem to have made
it into the woody pool for sparc. Any ETA on updates? My intel box is

Re: Sparc(s) won't read Debian CDs (Thanks - I'm up)

Rob -

These are CD-R disks from http://www.linux-cd.com/

In the meantime I finally worked up the nerve to do a 'boot cdrom' from
the 'ok' prompt - and (of course) it booted up just fine.

Must be that SunOS 5.7 can't read the Debain distribution.

System.map Errors

2002-02-20 Thread Chris Mason
Hi,

I have seen this error talked about a lot on mailing lists, but have not
been able to find a solution to it.  I have only seen this error since
enabling module support and it seems to be related to the loading of
eth1 which is a HappyMeal 10/100 card.

When I do a ps or anything else which accesses the kernel I will get the
following message:

{iommu_lockarea} {___f_mmu_lockarea}
Warning: /boot/System.map-2.2.19 does not match kernel data.
{iommu_lockarea} {___f_mmu_lockarea}
Warning: /usr/src/linux/System.map does not match kernel data.

I have checked the relevant files and my System.map file is definately
the correct version.  I coped /usr/src/linux/System.map into /boot and
it was created when the kernel was compiled.

Here is the versioning information of my system which is a Sparc 5
running Debian Potatoe 2.2:

Linux hantu 2.2.19 #1 Wed Feb 20 18:39:04 GMT 2002 sparc unknown

The SS10 cd-rom drive can read CD-R, I think the SS20 can.

This reminded me of another issue I've had with older CDROM drives
(Sun and otherwise): Many (most?) older drives will not read CD-RW
disks.  Do you know if the CD's are mastered, CD-R's, or CD-RW's?

The Sparc 20 CD-ROM drive is so slow (1x, 150kB/s) that you'd be better off
mounting the disk on another machine and exporting via NFS, or making the
files accessible via FTP or HTTP.  If you're installing, just make some
boot floppies and install over the network.

Are these sparc 20's running Solaris or Linux, and which version?

Hello to everyone.

I just got my first set of Debian CDs.

They read fine on 2 different PCs - but 2 different Sparc 20's can't
read them.  Each Sparc reads CDs just fine until I put these in.

Has anyone seen anthing like this?  Any suggestions?

But it would really help if the support would not say:

   "Oh, you are running Linux on your Sparc machine.  This is
your own problem.  Full stop."

I recommend everybody to avoid mentioning Linux in case of hardware
trouble.  I had to fight against several support members to clarify
that the same problem even was reproducable under Solaris because
their database showed the entry Linux for my box.

Kind regards

 Andreas.
