Re: CCC/CXX installation
see http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/unix/ccc.html for my experience on using alien on the compaq .rpm's. It is tricky, especially if you use gcc 3.x, but it works. And you get your .deb.

Re: using compaq fortran for linux on alpha
Hi, Use alien -c to also transform the scrips. The rpm's come with static libraries which are transformed into shared libraries at install time. If you don't install the deb's in a certain order, the .so files either won't exist or they'll have size 0. See http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/unix/ccc.html for details.

Re: Debian Insatll Compaq XP 1000
Can you boot with bf24 ? I don't know if that is an option for the alpha, but you can give it try. i would disconnect the second hdd, install with 2.2.20, switch to 2.4.x and reconnect the hdd. Building boot-floopies will take much much more. I did that several times.

Re: scsi controller
scsiformat uses the /dev/sg* device, not /dev/sdb. Does this mean that the disk is not listed under /proc/scsi/scsi at all ? Ionut PS I *have* used scsiformat to low level format SCSI drives in the past. I only hope that this will also change/reset the block size to a common value.

Re: installing kernel-image
Debian did not use initrd per default with 2.2.x. Was it possible ? Actually you cannot define a default boot configuration with aboot.conf. You just define several boot scenarios, identified by the first number in the line: 0, 1, 2 etc. You choose a specific scenario at the SRM console: boot dka0 -flags 0 or boot dka0 -flags 1 or boot dka0 -flags l The flags are passed over to aboot. So "-flags l" will let aboot display the configured scenarios and give you a command line.

I'd suggest putting the following in your apt.conf
APT {
Default-Release "testing";
Cache-Limit 900;
};
"testing" is for sticking with testing, despite the unstable line in
sources.list.

Re: compiling 2.4.20
theoretically, I don't see why the OS should bother if there is a real hdd on a SCSI controller or a whole array behind a RAID controller. The initrd images are loaded anyway by simple, generic ways. The only problem I could imagine is if there must be SRM support for the DAC960 (and I suppose there should be). But I'll make room for the experts here. I have never 'seen' a DAC960 controller in my life :) Ionut On Wed, Jul 09, 2003 at 04:03:02PM +0200, Lars Oeschey wrote: > Am Mittwoch, 9.

Re: compiling 2.4.20
debian already provides 2.4.21 binaries. If you want to compile them by yourself, I would suggest: apt-get build-dep kernel-image-2.4.21-1-generic This will also download the kernel-source tar.bz2 under /usr/src. The tarball already has the debian patches applied. They are important for initrd. To get the debian .config files, run apt-get source kernel-image-2.4.21-1-generic and copy the file from the config/ directory. Ionut PS run make-kpkg with --initrd if you want to have the initrd images automatically built when installing the kernel .deb.

Re: CCC Install
Hi,
where does gcc point to ? is it gcc 3.3, 3.3 or 2.95 ? Please search for this
problem in the archives. It's been discussed before. I think it's because -V is
no longer supported in gcc 3.3

Re: SRM booting issue was: Re: xp1000 problems with upgrade to 2.4.18-generic
Well, it might be that there was a syntax error somewhere. Try help set | more at the SRM prompt. set auto_action to BOOT or boot, whatever. then type boot dka0 -fl 0 like Richard Fillion suggested. This will also set boot_dev, boot_osflags & Co.

Re: SRM booting issue was: Re: xp1000 problems with upgrade to 2.4.18-generic
either type: set auto_action boot at the SRM console, or load the srm_env module: modprobe srm_env and set the variable from linux: echo BOOT > /proc/srm_environment/named_variables/auto_action Never tried the last one, I hope it works :) Ionut On Wed, Jun 04, 2003 at 03:32:55PM -0400, Keith Grider wrote: > That is great, thanks.

Re: ccc install
Hi,
sincerely, I have found installing ccc with alien and dpkg easier than
using apt-get. After spending hours hunting for the right versions, I
ended up downloading the latest versions from the HP web site and trying
my luck with alien -c. The only package that made some trouble was ccc,
as it was trying to do some cleanup work after previous installs. I had
none, as it was a fresh woody and it failed.
You can find the summary of my ccc 'experience' at
http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/unix/ccc.html
Good luck!
Ionut

Re: mozilla and java
Well, I can assure you SuSE doesn't have any java-plugin for mozilla. I know I had to solve this problem 2 months ago and had to go back to the good old netscape (where java only worked with kernel 2.4.4, and not with 2.4.19). However, if anyone finds a java-plugin somewhere, I'd be happy to rpm -e netscape for good :).

xp1000-667 does not boot
Hi, We have just received a new XP1000 in our department. 667 MHz, 1GB RAM. The problem is: it does not want to boot. I first tried with the 2.2_rev3 NONUS iso image. No result, it hung up after: aboot: starting kernel boot/linux with arguments root=/dev/ram The floppies didn't help also. I tried then with BOOTP (tftpimage from website). Kernel and initrd images were loaded successfully, but it stopped with the message: halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = . I tried then to compile a bootpfile myself (kernel 2.2.19) on a 500 MHz XP1000. It didn't work, hung up at the "aboot: ..." message. The 500 Mhz XP1000 booted this (bootp) image without any problem. I have even tried with an old Tru64 CD. It installed like a charm. Can anybody help ?? Regards, Ionut PS SUSE 7.0 & RedHat 7.1 floppies did also not work. PPS Are there no woody boot-disks for alpha ? The tftpimage.img I used is from 03-12-2000 . I think a lot has changed (read improved) meanwhile. *** * Ionut Georgescu * http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/ * ICQ: 38973105 * "In Windows you can do everything Microsoft wants you to do; in Unix you *can do anything the computer is able to do."
Re: netscape vs. libc6.1 (2.2.3-1)
Are you using netscape with an nfs mounted HOME ? It doesn't work for me
in this setup and I'd like to know if this is libc related or not. By the
way, I have recently seen to suse alpha boxes where netscape used to work
OK on nfs mounted HOME's. Need to dig up on this !! :)

mozilla
Hi, Does mozilla work for anyone around here ? As netscape for alpha does not work with NIS/NFS, mozilla is the only choice. And it does not work. I have tried building the package myself, but it segfaulted. Can anyone point me to a working deb, tar.gz or whatsoever for the alpha ?

I/O fwupdate floppy disk
Hi, I'd like to make a boot disk to update the I/O firmware of a XP1000 . However, it needs the firmware update CD, which I don't have.

firmware update.
Hi, Is it possible that after a firmware update the CDROM drive might not work ? I have updated the firmware of a xp1000 to the latest version and I have just noticed i have no cdrom drive. dmesg shows nothing about any IDE drive. I can't reboot to the SRM console right now to have a look, just wanted to know if this is known to anyone.

netscape works for root only
Hi, Like already seen in the subject line, the problem is that netscape runs only for root. I have checked the permissions of all files in the netscape package (4.7-3) and they're OK . If a user tries to run netscape, then it gets a complain about a missing font and nothing more. No window, nothing. The CPU time is next to null. I tried to strace the executable and it seems like it blocks in some osf_gettimeofday calls. If, as user, I try sudo netscape, then I get a window, but nothing more. If a click the Home icon it hangs up in "Looking up host ...". Stop, Esc, nothing helps anymore.
