[Cooker] [Bug 1040] [php] New: posix support doesn't work

[[Bug 1040]]

   Summary: posix support doesn't work
   Version: 4.2.3-3mdk

Hello,

libphp_common430 seems to be compiled to support posix, but it
doesn't work for some reason..
my version is libphp_common430-430-7mdk

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: posix_uname() in
/var/www/html/index.php on line 3

[posix_uname can be found in (PHP 3>= 3.0.10, PHP 4) from what the doc says]

line 3 contains =>
$myarray = posix_uname();

Thanks.

Have a nice day.

You miss the point. I am aware of this problem and workarounf and _this_ problem is 
fixed in current kernel (in short, bad interaction between supermount and the rest of 
kernel caused long delays on file close - 4-5 seconds. So scanning large number of 
files was slow). I mean different problem (there was a bug report in Bugzilla about it 
but I forgot the number). Urpmi needs much time to check for correct media, _before_ 
it even started to copy or install files. I do not know what happens but I see that 
supermounted media is being accessed several times before urpmi finally asks to insert 
correct media.

As usual, nothing fatal but bery annoying.

cheers

I hope you do not mind Cc to cooker.

[Cooker] Konqueror vs. supermount or "my CD is snapping on me!"

[Andrey Borzenkov]

this applies to 9.0 + security fixes, I cannot test current cooker. Sorry :(

Konqueror is using polling (stat call) to check for directory updates, that happens 
appr. every second. When it is used with supermount, it prevents user from opening 
tray, as soon as you manage open it konqueror does next stat and tray is 
(automatically) closed again. this happens even if you changed directory - as a test

fire up konqueror
change dir into /mnt/cdrom (or whatever)
right click, copy some file
change directory to somewhere on your disk
right click, paste
try to open tray

the result is hard to explain to a normal user because there is apparent no program 
accessing CD-ROM ... but konqueror does it behind your back :(

This is old problem. This _very_ old problem. One user on a.o.l.m described it as "my 
CD is snaping on me".

May I ask good fellas to check if it is still the case in current cooker and of not 
submit official bug report? What I never understood why could not konqueror use FAM 
for this ...

Alternative would be to disable autoclose for CD-ROMs (sysctl -w 
kernel.dev.cdrom.autoclose=0). May be this need to be set by default in sysctl.conf if 
nothing more is working? I guess having to manually close tray is less evil than what 
happens currently.

the problem is serious enough to spoil all impression even if supermount is otherweise 
working properly. fredl, it goes to you as owner of /etc/sysctl.conf :)

I'm using a beta driver (1.1.27t) from this site 
(http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html)on an HP ze1210 laptop. The driver 
works great!

Except for a 60Hz refresh rate, 1.1.26t works fine as well; I get 85Hz with 
the newer driver.

fontconfig-2.1-5mdk still has the same problem.

After installing it, the sequence
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts
fc-cache -v
mv drakfonts ..

made gedit work, and then,
mv ../drakfonts .
cd drakfonts
fc-cache -f -v `pwd`
made gedit again functional.

If you run fc-cache in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts it will examine all subdirs and make a

And then if you run (say) gedit, you will see, 
[root@localhost fonts]# gedit 
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig 
library is not correctly configured. You may need to 
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information 
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual 
page and on http://fontconfig.org 
 
To fix, 
[root@localhost fonts]# cd drakfont/ 
[root@localhost drakfont]# fc-cache -v -f `pwd` 
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont": caching, 348 fonts, 0 dirs

[root@localhost drakfont]# gedit 
[root@localhost drakfont]#  
 
also, mv drakfont ..; gedit, works sometimes. 
 
The generated cache files are identical inside the drakfont directory. 
 
It is not related to what fonts you have. 
 
I think it is probably the timestamp on the font-cache file in the parent directory. 
In the case that it fails, gedit takes a long time to start up (10 seconsd, say) and 
there's lots of 
disk access. 
In the case it works, it is fast.

Re: [Cooker] OT: Fmirror question

[Paul Misner]

Here is my script for using rsync to update my cooker copy.  It is all one 
line.  I keep a log of the files that were changed, list the changes on the 
screen while running, and skip unwanted directories.

Script RsyncCooker:
rsync -avl --delete --exclude-from=rsync_devel_no_exc.conf 
sunsite.uio.no::Mandrake-devel/cooker/ /mnt/ws/mandrake/cooker | tee -a 
cooker.log

I have a list of items to exclude in rsync_devel_no_exc.conf which contains:

alpha/
ppc/
sparc/
other/
ia64/

This specifies that I don't want those subdirectory trees to download, since I 
am on a P4, I don't need them.

I hope this gives you some more ideas about how to keep your copy of cooker up 
to date.  I think my earlier message was incorrect, and really applied more 
to Rsync.

Is the vfs-lock patch from the LVM project in the Mandrake kernel yet?
If not, are we going to see it any time soon?  LVM snapshotting is
quite useless on journalling filesystems (and who does not run a
journalling filesystem these days?) without it.  It should definately
make it in before 9.1 is released.  I have been asking since before
9.0.

Stick CD1 back in, and in console:

su - root
(root password)
urpmi.update cdrom1

then when it finishes go do what you did before with XFdrake if needed. 
CD1 will now be figured out.

My understanding, this will be fixed in the Beta3 release. That will be 
the next set of frozen ISOs.

Currently it does - but you never know what might change in the future.
I prefer to think that the card would still be useful even if I had to

[Cooker] install feature request

[J. Greenlees]

nothing really big, just when configuring the mouse during installation, 
add the option to map it for left handed use, then set the system to map 
left handed throughout by default.

it actually slows me down drastically using a mouse mapped right handed.
and every install is a pain because the buttons aren't mapped left handed.

Well said!!!  I think we should use a voting system (like the RPM
package voting in the MandrakeClub) which narrows down the top apps like
e-mail, browser, news reader, text editor, etc.

Having a default application and maybe one alternative (second runner
up) would help reduce confusion for newbies and make the distro more
manageable size wise.

The third and fourth tier softwares could then be available from a
"Mandrake Updateable" website (kinda like the PLF and Texstar's stuff)
using RPMDRAKE.

This would be awesome!

Great idea Warly!
   


I think i agree for almost what i said, but i would remind you some
stuff :
as a scientist, i use specific applications which are not very useful in
day-to-day usage (xmgrace, pybliographic, xdrawchem), so they will not
collect enough votes.
But these are mandatory for me and some others ...

I think these applications should stay in the downloadable isos.
For day-to-day applications, i think it could be a great idea to have
two applications for each task (may be one for kde, the other for
gnome).

Other applications could be available via Mandrake Club if desired. It
could be a good way to enrich the club's lack of attract (except for
charity reasons) : here is a good way to improve the Club's attracting
value.

Linux 2.4.19-16mdk #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002
1:00pm up 13 days, 52 min, 3 users, load average: 1.00, 1.02, 1.02
 

I hate to say this, but in fact Lindows in version 3.0 is doing most of 
what we are doing in the Club as far as apckages, but giving one year 
access for those that buy systems with Lindows on, then selling at 
$99.00 per year for access after that.

Essentially, $99.00 per user or machine per year would pay for a huge 
hunk of bandwidth. Am willing to stay at silver membership (cannot 
afford higher right now) but would suggest going to a level that cuts 
out the lowest level or where the lowest level cuts out library access 
for non-core upgrades and additional tested packages, starts at about 
$100.00 per year, and give 3-6 months access with a boxed set purchase. 
At that income\user point, most of the apps we are culling could be 
libraried on club mirrors and at that level, Mandrake could get a 
professional data librarian to track the main mirror(which in essence is 
why Lindows went to the software library concept, they run a limited 
number of very high speed and high capacity mirrors, and library 
memberships pay for a lot of the pure data handling costs (as opposed to 
dev costs). While I do not mean to suggest a me-too thing here, I do 
think the general principle holds water, with RPM and mirror content 
management a librarian kind of thing that the club could fund if done right.

Down the line, we might build a Scientific ISO, a Media ISO, and use the 
category chunking to advantage as a library management thing-- if  we 
get enough call to build an ISO, and enough users then download to pay 
for the cost of generating a valid tested ISO, then we could also sell 
same pre-burned as add-on packages. I am going to propose this also on 
the Club, see if can get a bunch of feedback. If you want, will echo 
that to AOLM NG also, see what the response is.

Yesterday it was announced that Bitstream is releasing 10 high quality
fonts to the open source community(!) I hope Mandrake can include them. In
the resulting /. discussion this link appeared:

Those are fonts under a free license, some of them might be good enough to

2.0 will very likely be out by the time 9.1 is out, and I think we
should include it - I think it would be a good idea to include as many
GTK+2-based apps (as opposed to GTK+1-based) in 9.1 as possible. xchat
1.9.8 is, for instance, I'd argue rather more developed than Galeon
1.3.1, which is in Cooker main. I'd also like to see a CVS snapshot of
gaim 0.60 put into Cooker - why they haven't made a release yet, I can't
fathom, because 0.60 is light years ahead of 0.59 and seems perfectly
functional. gaim recommend the use of CVS versions anyway, so I don't
think using a snapshot should present a problem.

(reference: on the download page: "When possible, you really should be
using CVS instead of the last release, because there are often many bugs
fixed in the CVS version that were present in the last release. If using
CVS is not an option, consider using the CVS tarball.")

With galeon 1.3.x or gtk+2 moz, pan, xchat and gaim, and maybe gimp 1.3,
GNOME2 users can have an almost entirely GTK+2-based desktop - only
Evolution is missing now, and that's being worked on :). So it'd be nice
to have GTK+2 versions of xchat and gaim in 9.1.

Funny you mention that.  What we call 'debit cards' in Canada are
actually 'bank cards' or Interac.  While originally intended for ATM
machines, they have really caught on in Ontario for in-store purchases. 
They offer this in most provinces I think, but in Ontario, purchasing
with a bank card is rampant - to the degree that many of my friends
don't carry cash at all, just a bank card. (madness)


at 1.50 to 3.00 for each purchase through interact? always knew living

here if it says visa, or matercard or american express, it is a credit 
card not a debit card, unless you are referring to the fact that using 
it is going to put you into debt. :-)


Bloody hell, you get charged for it?! That's shocking. I don't get
charged for payments on the card, or for withdrawing money (though most
such cards get charged a small amount for withdrawals if they're from an
ATM not owned by the bank that issued the card). Yeah, here Mastercard
and AMEX only do credit cards, but VISA do debit cards, which are cards
which take the funds for payment directly from a deposit account, just
so we know we're on the same page here :).

yup $1.50 from banks own machine, $3.00 for other banks machines.
and $3.00 for interact payment at a store. unless you have a service 
charge plan that allows it unlimited, which often costs over $20.00 a 
month in base service charges.

Visa Canada doesn't offer the debit card services here. might be 
Canadian Banking laws stop them.
in the US Amex has a debit card, where you deposit money into special 
Amex held account and use the card as a credit card, online only. ( it 
functions as debit, but processes as credit card )

in canada, debit is only from the bank card not from a credit card company.

and paypal argued with me that my transit information was wrong on my

transit info for a long time, I know the numbers well. ( let alone that 
I did work as bank teller and probably know more about Canadian Banking

Re: [Cooker] Chanintech Apogee(7VJL) on board lan does not work

[David Bolin]

OK, I admit to my mistake.  It is not the acip that needs to be disabled,
it is apci.  Once I corrected myself the recompiled kernel works correctly
with the USB and the VIA-Rhine devices.  Sorry about my mis-information.

Bloody hell, you get charged for it?! That's shocking. I don't get
charged for payments on the card, or for withdrawing money (though most
such cards get charged a small amount for withdrawals if they're from an
ATM not owned by the bank that issued the card). Yeah, here Mastercard
and AMEX only do credit cards, but VISA do debit cards, which are cards
which take the funds for payment directly from a deposit account, just
so we know we're on the same page here :).

Re: [Cooker] sshd & slapd bite each other

[Stefan van der Eijk]

Another nice LDAP related buglet. On a cooker machine that's running
slapd (openldap-servers) the sshd won't work properly.

It's easy to reproduce (I've done it on 2 machines):

[root@taz root]# service ldap start
ldaps
Starting slapd (ldap + ldaps):  [  OK  ]
[root@taz root]# ssh stefan@localhost
stefan@localhost's password:

Connection to localhost closed.
[root@taz root]# service ldap stop

/etc/init.d/ldap: line 243: kill: (15608) - No such process
/etc/init.d/ldap: line 243: kill: (15602) - No such process
   [  OK  ]
[root@taz root]# ssh stefan@localhost
stefan@localhost's password:

Starting slapd (ldap + ldaps):  [  OK  ]
[root@taz root]# ssh stefan@localhost
stefan@localhost's password:

Connection to localhost closed.

(but I think my slave has died, auth works by referral to the master at
present ...)

Are you sure it's not an issue of conflicting entries in ldap and local?


Good one. I've got users both in local and ldap on machine "taz".


Maybe user 'sshd' exists in ldap with the wrong uid, that would probably
do it due to privsep, sshd server still runs as root, but privsep dies ?


The ssh user is only in the local machine, not in ldap.


Where shall I file the bug, openldap-servers package or openssh-server?
   


Reproduce on a different network first ...


Did it on a stand alone laptop (with ssh & ldap server on it) too, same 
results.

(BTW, it's not a good idea to have ldap user in ldap when you install
openldap-servers onto a box ... stop ldap and you won't be able to start
it again ;-)


I only have real users in ldap, no system users, etc. If you like, the 
ldap dir is available: ldap://eijk.homelinux.org/

Also, a good way to check is to test both:
$ getent passwd sshd
$ getent passwd|grep ^sshd
and hope they give the same answer ...



They do:

[root@taz root]# getent passwd sshd
sshd:x:94:94::/home/sshd:/bin/true
[root@taz root]# getent passwd|grep ^sshd
sshd:x:94:94::/home/sshd:/bin/true


I'm starting to see more & more shit come up with using ldap... mysql 
doesn't start, now this stuff with ssh, what's next?

[Cooker] Encoding problem in DrakX tools

[Michal Bukovjan]

Hi,

running latest and greatest Cooker.

Using Czech environement, all messages in DrakX tools translated in 
Czech show up correctly, but the font is messed.

They look as if a ISO-8859-2 message is displayed in ISO-8859-1 charset 
(i.e. all most accented chars are displayed wrong.)

I bet thus must be the case for all other non-ISO-8859-1 languages.

All DrakX tools are affected. All other GNOME2 / GTK2 programs show 
Czech correctly, all GTK1 programs too, and DrakX for GTK1.x used to 
display them correctly too.

Perhaps a Perl+GTK2 bug? Just a blind guess.

Would recoding to UTF-8 of all .po files help? (This is required for all 
GNOME2 apps now).

Well, it depends what the goal of rebuilding is. I was thinking about
the problems it caused for non-x86 build. For this, I think a "rpm"
where "unpackaged files" is a *warning* would be the solution.

IMO "unpackaged files" is not a problem big enough to need a quick
fix. (most of my packages would need fixing and I really don't have
the time for this)

Once again, for me "unpackaged files" is really nice, but it should
not cost more than it saves.

I've installed the rpm using Kpackage on MDK 90. Intalled OK but did not show

one thing, if you don't carry any cash, it can never get stolen. Yes, I
went to Australia recently, and was rather caught off-balance by the
fact they have different cards for deposit and checking accounts, this
just doesn't happen in the UK :). You have a bank account with a debit
card that acts as an ATM withdrawal card, cheque guarantee card, and
which you can buy stuff with, plus a separate credit card. Handy.



Too bad there's no secure way to use Interac online.

Well, my card's provided by VISA - it works just like a  VISA credit
card for online stuff. The other big provider in the UK is Switch, and
many sites accept their cards too. I know you can get similar accounts
in the US, but I guess from what you say they aren't very popular.
Funny, I find my card a lifesaver :)

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake's distro for specific ix86 arch

[Stefan van der Eijk]

example: these packages currently don't rebuild due to a "unpackaged files
found" problem:
 


[...]

 

there are special cases such as "unpackaged files", where there
is a brutal new rule which breaks half of the distro -> no use
filing bugreports as maintainers are aware of that; if they don't
fix at once it's because either they feel it's not so important
or they simple don't have enough time in the short term..
   


Agreed, IMO "unpackaged files" is a good feature, but you should
*disable* it when you want to rebuild the distro, at least until most
of the packages have been rebuilt.


That's right! Turn off all the checks --> then you'll never find out 
which packages have problems.

 Packagers should do this by default --> makes life easier

I find both versions stable. I do still have small problems with fonts in
1.9.8.
I also found it annoying that you need to enter all your preferences again. If
they could find a way to import the 1.8 settings in 1.9, that would be great.

This is not true. A lot of files are protected by windows and can't be 
overwritten/deleted in windows.

But a bigger problem with the fat files is that it is mounted so all files are 
executables which makes no sense at all (wine doesn't need it). but it does 
make it that you can't unzip files on a fat partition.

What also is a possibility is check if the fat partition contains a windows 
dir. If it is only writtable for root otherwise for everybody

Ummm... been a while since I've used postgres, but you can't do this as
root until root has an account.

su - postgres

first, then do the createuser stuff.  That should work.

Try my srpm (posted a bit back), just install it, up the version number
and 'rpm -be ' it ... should work, otherwise I will have a

Same here. Will try it out as fast as buchan is ready ;). I guess you don't 
need to package it too as buchan is on it.

Hmmm, I am sure I got the latest last time, and read the notice, but the
link to 0.4.2 is labelled 0.4.1 so I may just have checked the version I

Because pam_console doesn't seem to have an option for this? It also

I have the Soyo SY-KT400 Dragon Ultra and it has the same problem, only it
does not stop at the VIA-RHINE NIC.  I also loose use of my USB devices. 
However when I recompile the kernel with apic disabled I regain use of the
USB and the NIC.  The only drawback (with the mandrake kernel)is that the
recompiled NVIDIA kernel driver does not function correctly.  If I
recompile a Vanilla kernel with the same basic options that I use with the
Mandrake kernel I have full functionality.  This has been true with both
Beta 1 and Beta 2.

Ok, can you tell us the model as well as the firmware rev from 
Windows??? HP has this habit of reissuing and revising firmware patches 
for older burners\writer\readers. I had an 8100i a while back, that had 
been firmware revised to be mmc2 compatible, and later a 9100n that I 
could burn to as a generic mmc2 and which no specific driver was known 
for in the hardware list. In quite a few cases, HP has had various 
others private label things for them. Most of the 9000 series responds 
to mmc2 compatible commands except where a firmware flash build error or 
burn error occurred. I ignored such as an analyst, as they met the base 
specs for mmc2 close to standard enough to be group-classed as mmc2 or 
mmc3 compatible.

Both Stomp Click-N-Burn 2.0, based on licensed Veritas algorithms, and 
Easy CD Creator can burn to them, and Linux could also do so at about 
1\2 rated capacity and ran them at full rotational speed at which speed 
they vibrated the computer case quite loudly. As Veritas knows very well 
how to talk to their firmware, maybe someone could talk to them about 
adapting their Linux HP driver solutions used for their software for 
burning with Mandrake over the long haul??? Right now Veritas is 
concentrating on backup solutions in re Linux, but most of their backup 
solutions can use CD-R or CD-RW as backup media-- they work closely with 
HP in regard to HP drives for backup, have for a long time.

I now use TDK, because their drives  more fully meet the mmc standard 
sets, does not step its rotational and burn speeds radically until over 
the 20X mark. I can say this, the packet to packet rates on a TDK 
40x12x40x can be set to 20x and vary from 43x to 18x from one packet 
chunk to next and still not make coasters. The average overall ISO burn 
comes out to about 115% of rated speed chosen, and this brand is the 
only brand I can burn 90%+reliable ISO sets at 20X on B- media while my 
system is doing other things. I usually run burns with burnproof on. 
gCombust works fine with this drive over the 6+ months I have had it 
(TDK VeloCD 40x12x40x, which cost me far less than half the price of my 
older HP 9100 series). I have burned about 70 ISO sets of 3 CDs each 
with it. I THINK it is burning in a standards emulation mode in Linux, 
but emulates very well. It also is an unknown as to specific model, and 
TDK also tends to stick new capacities in firmware applied to older mech 
designs.

Maybe it is just the Chaintech 7VJL then. (I have installed a 3Com card and it

It does however work perfectly under Windows XP.

Under THOSE circumstances, you might also see if the BIOS has the 
embedded LAN turned off. Linux can detect things that the computer BIOS 
will not flow data to, then users wonder why the heck data traffic 
cannot happen until they either use an add-on card or check the BIOS 
(sometimes in peripherals, sometimes advanced setup, sometimes PNP 
area). I have also had Linux not like defaulted resources that conflict 
but which windows treats as non-dedicated and uses with less efficiency 
if conflicted. I lost LAN, then sound, then both, and finally after 
telling my BIOS to reconfigure itself yet AGAIN (actually time 6, and a 
BIOS Flash) most conflicts were resolved and things worked in Linux. 
Chaintechs do this, some Soyo boards that are modern do this, Intel 
boards that are modern do this.
The south bridges mitigate such things to a large degree, and I know 
this because of two things that area growing-in-frequency pattern: the 
BIOSs are coded to stack SB routed traffic first if must, and Windows 
uses SB drivers that turn conflicts over to the SB of modern boards 
rather than direct access. Internal to Windows the SB stacked IRQs are 
separated out, that is why you can see Windows using IRQs 16-20 
internally these days-- this sacrifices efficiency per stream for 
compatibility with modern boards that in essence use the SB as a very 
good resource conflict mitigator for media and LAN data streaming, and 
they typically chunk USB into that, and firewire-- the combo of IRQ plus 
port set is used to determine what resource is wanted, not primarily 
just IRQ any more or IRQ foremost with I\O port second, they are used 
TOGETHER now. Over the long haul, linux will have to recognize changes 
that have descended into chipware and firmware.

Thanks but I've been doing specs for maybe 4 or 5 years now. I know all about 
that. The problems I was referring to was the compile time options and macros 
set in the global rpmmacros. For some reason some apps don't recompile 
correctly on the athlon without tweaking the code accordingly. It may be the 
configure scripts causing the problems. I'm not sure about that either. I can 
patch configure scripts somewhat but most the time unless it's something like 
looking for a newer version of autoconf I'm not really sure where to start. 

Thanks however as this thread may turn into something very usefull for other 
users when they run across it. 

On a side note i can post also the procedure for doing auto builds and stuff. 
I think I still have it around if anybody is interested.

i experienced this while upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 beta 2 last night.  i also
have an intellimouse explorer USB.  my USB bus blinked out when i tried to
choose my mouse type; specifically, i lost both the mouse and keyboard (PS/2
keyboard with two USB ports) on the screen that asked me to activate the mouse
by moving the mouse wheel.

restarting the install without setting up the mouse (it was auto-detected, but i
wanted to see the options) worked fine, as it did with 9.0.

In the USA - Compaq had a deal with Epson for bundled printers for a short 
while.

I have an Epson 600Q, which is exactly an Epson Stylus Color 600 with a

Buchan

Again you have solved one of my problems!!

I change the scanner command in console.perms and now when a user login
in the server the /dev/usb/scanner0 change its owners:
.geobotanicos; the users that belong to the geobotanicos
group can now scan from a remote computer :-)

Thanks a lot Buchan

[Cooker] [Bug 1029] [kernel] New: 2.4.19-16 headers/deps in 2.4.21 ?? System won't boot

[[Bug 1029]]

https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1029

   Product: kernel
 Component: libsasl2-plug-ntlm
   Summary: 2.4.19-16 headers/deps in 2.4.21 ??  System won't boot
   Version: 2.4.21-0.pre3.1mdk
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: blocker
  Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I can't believe nobody would have caught this.  On the other hand, I can't see
where anything I did could have been caused it.

Last evening, I completely refreshed my cooker image - wget into an empty
directory.  Then I did a refresh this morning, and ran

cd ~/cooker/misc
./MakeCD --discsize 73400 -t /home/ftg -a /home/ftg/cooker >~/tmp/MakeCDOut
2>~/tmp/MakeCDErr

I got 4 CDs, with only about 64M on the fourth.

I did a full install, selecting all packages, and the install went fine.  When I
rebooted, I got errors from every attempt to load a module, because it was
looking for 2.4.19-16mdk.

Here is /boot from the installed system:

I have no idea where the kernel.h came from.  Cooker used to have a
kernel-headers package, but the fresh download from last night does not, and
none of the kernel* packages have that version:
