I sent a message on the list some time ago for a similar problem;
here is the output I get:
cdrecord: Input/output error. close track/session: scsi sendcmd: retryable error

I had thought of a problem in the SCSI driver;
I m using an adaptec 2940 SCSI card with the aic7xxx driver;
what card are you using?

compiling an old kernel

2000-02-01 Thread hubert . fauque

As I explained in another message I am getting SCSI
errors when writing a CD; I have tried to use
this CD writer under windows: it works; so I suppose
it may be a driver problem (I use a 2.2.13 kernel).

So I am trying to compile an old kernel (2.0.38)
but with there are problems with egcs.
I have applied the patch at
http://www.suse.de/~florian/kernel+egcs.html
but I still get errors:

In file included from init/main.c:46:
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/bugs.h: In function `check_k6_bug':
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/string.h:118: Invalid `asm' statement:
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/string.h:118: fixed or forbidden 
register 4 (si) was spilled for class SIREG.

(a number of times)

Has somebody successfully compiled a 2.0 kernel with egcs
or is it necessary to reinstall gcc2.7?

Thanks

yes

I will try with an old cdrecord.
I also updated the kernel so this could be a driver error;

the error sometimes happens at the beginning and sometimes
it writes 630Mo before the error;

I even could write a short CD without error so I don't think
the laser is out of order.

problem writing CDs

I used to write CDs with cdrecord without problem;
but now almost every time I try to write a CD
it ends with a SCSI error:

I haven't changed anything to the hardware;

do you think it's a hardware error?

when looking in the log file there is:
no immediate delivery: more than 10 messages received in one connection

if you want the other messages immediatly you can do:
exim -q

CD recorder problem

1999-02-23 Thread hubert . fauque

I have a CD recorder (Philips 2x2x6) and when I try
to write a CD with
   cdwrite -v -D /dev/sr0 cdimage.raw
I get
  cdwrite 2.0
  Track 01: data7 Mb 
  opening scsi device: Read-only file system

At boot the CD recorder is detected:

Vendor: SCSI-CD   Model: ReWritable-2x2x6  Rev: 2.00
Type:   CD-ROMNSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
(scsi0:0:3:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.

I have changed the permissions of /dev/scd0 (to which sr0 is
symlinked) to 770; I get the same result;

I have surely missed something but what?
(I dont think it's a hardware problem because the recorder
works under Windows)

emacs and pgnus

1999-02-06 Thread hubert . fauque

I am trying to use pgnus-0.75 and I have the following problem:

it compiles fine (./configure and make) but when I
use it I get the error
void function: gnus-truncate-string
the problem is that there is no function named
gnus-truncate-string in pgnus; so I think it may be loaded
before I start gnus but I can't find where; I have tried to
eliminate all possibilities:
I load emacs with EMACSLOADPATH=/usr/share/emacs/20.3/lisp,
with no init-file (emacs -q) and I just do
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/src/pgnus-0.75/lisp") load-path))
and M-x gnus and the error happens;

where this gnus-truncate-string comes from?
is it possible that it is at compile time? I have done
strings /usr/bin/emacs | grep gnus-truncate and got nothing

thanks for any help

I use exim and I have the same behaviour; when more than 10
messages arrive exim doesn't deliver them at once; in the log file
there is:
no immediate delivery: more than 10 messages received in one connection

this is controled by some exim options (see queue_only_load)

some applications are eating memory

1998-11-08 Thread hubert . fauque

I have noticed that some applications are growing without
limits: the first one is netscape; I have limited in Preferences
the size of the memory cache to 3 Mb but as I use it, it takes more
and more memory (as reported by top); I have to kill it when
it is too big ( the maxmimum I have had till now is more than 60 Mb)
and relaunch it;
I noticed also that xconsole grows: now after 11 days since reboot
it occupies 12 Mb;

is it normal?

use it successfully?

floppy boot problem

1997-03-31 Thread Hubert FAUQUE
I tried to make a boot floppy by copying the kernel on the floppy:
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /dev/fd0
it works except that when I boot from the floppy my Adaptec 1542
isn't recognized at boot; when I boot with the same kernel from the
hard disk the 1542 is recognized without problems;
I am sure it's the same kernel on the floppy and the hard disk
and the Adaptec support is built-in the kernel and it's not a module.

does somebody as an idea of what's happening?
