scsi drive serial number

2003-05-04 Thread Richard Fillion
Is there an easy way to see the serial numbers for my scsi devices in
software, as opposed to ripping the drives out of the box and looking on
them?  Seems to me like the drives arent in a very convienient place on
PWS boxes.

I suppose it was simply compiled for ev56+. You could verify that with
gdb and disas. There used to be a kernel patch that emulated the
missing instructions, it would probably be relatively easy to get that
to work again. However, I'd just use xpdf :)

acrobat reader

2003-05-04 Thread Joakim Roubert
Hi!

Earlier I've been using the Acrobat Reader 3 on my AlphaStation 200
(21064), and that's working fine.

Now I installed Acrobat Reader 4.05, and get this:

octavia:packages/Acrobat4/bin$ ./acroread
zsh: illegal hardware instruction  ./acroread
octavia:packages/Acrobat4/bin$

Is this something that can be configured to work, or am I as a user of a
21064 system stuck to older versions?

Regards,

/Joakim

That would be the one I'm working on now--a post-1.2 snapshot 
made against 2.4.20.  Bloody thing deadlocks just like 
release-1.2.  So far I've found no way to keep it from 
happening, but I'm not done breaking its spirit yet. ;)

I'm not sure, its whatever XFS that comes with the patches for 2.4.20
off the SGI ftp server.

I'm just not going to use XFS on the alpha any more.  Gone back to
ext2 and all strangeness has disappeared.

Still cannot boot a newer kernel with the hda interrupt failing, must
be something to do with the IDE driver and irq 14 and 15 but not sure
what.
