And that is _with_ the binary-all packages, that they seemingly don't count or even bother about at buildd.debian.org... Actually, it would be kind of interesting to know how much of i386 builds on sid if one counts binary-all as well. I wouldn't be surprised if pure64 and gcc-3.4 are approaching i386.

802.11g drivers
Hi all, I'm actually using an Acer Aspire 1513LMi (AMD64 3400+) with debian-amd64 distribution and I'd want use my 802.11g device; Acer tells that's its name is InviLink. Actually I can't find an appropriate driver for Linux on AMD64: in fact it seems that the only support for Linux is ndiswapper (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/). This driver allow to use Windows WLAN drivers, so I should not have any problem if I use a Linux 32-bit kernel because of 32-bit Windows drivers. Ndiswapper developers aren't actually supporting 64-bit kernels because of the lack of 64-bit Windows drivers. So, do you know if there's a solution to this issue ? I could try to modify ndiswrapper sources to achieve my goal but I need to know if it's possible to run 32-bit assembly instruction in a 64-bit kernel module. Can you suggest me a link where I can get the documentation ? Thanks in advance, Max Libero ADSL: navighi gratis a 1.2 Mega, senza canone e costi di attivazione.

Re: newbie last try
Hi, 1. I am unable to have windows in option for boot-up in GRUB. During [snip] This is an old bug I reported several months ago already. It is still not fixed. From what I remember the installer for AMD64 does not have the necessary scripts to recognize a Windows partition on NTFS. The fix someone mentioned then was to use the same scripts for AMD64 as i386 already uses

Horribly frustrating and irritating. No other distributions I tried had this problem, x86 or amd64. I remember seeing a post about this a few weeks ago. IIRC the poster finished the installation blind and set a few configs afterwards that fixed this. Check the archives from september for how and what he did.

Installing nvidia glx safely...(was Re: Required..)
Thanks frederik for your help..but not needed at last:( The problem is the next: The nvidia 64 bynary drivers attemps to overrite the libs in /lib directory. The common solution was to remove the link of lib64, create a lib64 real directory and the run the installer. After this you only need to manually override your glx libs in /lib and then restore the link again. But now if you remove the lib64 link... your system remains unusable, any command is understood by the bash. My question: Is any other way to catch the libs of nvidia binary driver installer and put into /lib directory without removing the /lib64 link? (Surely is a noob question, but I'm bloocked.

I used the other OS entry in /usr/share/doc/grub/examples/menu.lst and it just worked (once it worked at all; iirc I had to install grub manually at the end of the install (a couple of months ago).)

Re: Re: libswig gone, breaking subversion
I'd like to add that although downloading and compiling the swig package works, that compiling subversion breaks with the following message: dpkg-buildpackage: source package is subversion dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 1.0.8-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is David Kimdon [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is amd64 debian/rules clean /bin/sh: none: No such file or directory debian/rules:89: *** target file `debian/control' has both : and :: entries.

Yes, the ia32-libs package contains just binary .deb packages which were taken from the Debian i386 distribution.

Debian SID AMD64 success on MSI K8T-NEO2
It works! Out of the box! I successfully installed AMD64 SID with the installer mirrored on bach.hpc2n.umu.se! I am using the updated 2.8.6-4 kernel. I can even run D2X, Q3, UT, FAKK2 and NWN in a chroot! The only problems were with the nvidia-installer which were quickly figured out. Hardware tested so far: on-board VIA PATA 8237 ok on-board IEEE1394 ok on-board RTL8110s ok (with 100MBit) on-board VIA USB ok (BIOS cannot boot from USB) PCI Tekram SCSI U2W (LSI/Symbios 82C895) ok on-board via8235 audio (little problems see below) UT has crashed once after the via82c8xx module gave Assertion failed! chan-is_active == sg_active(chan-iobase),\ sound/oss/via82cxxx_audio.c,via_chan_maybe_start,line=1387 I did not try any RAID or SATA configuration. A great Thank you! to all who made this possible. You guys rock! Mike
mzscheme and amd64
The debian version of drscheme and mzscheme is 207, which does not have support for amd64 and fails to compile, so the package is missing from the amd64 archive. The latest version of drscheme is 208, which was released in August, and it contains support for amd64. I was able to download the 208 source and apply the drscheme_207-3.diff.gz. There were two rejects which I fixed, and I needed to make one small change to debian/rules. I was then able to successfully build the mzscheme package, and have been using it the past few days. Of course, I have not tested everything but it seems to be working. (This is with the gcc-3.4 archive) If anyone is interested, I can send the drscheme_208-1.diff.gz file I created. John

Would be interested if each of your failed attempts was with gcl-2.6.5-1, and if you succeed now with gcl 2.6.5-2. If so, then there is a problem with binutils 2.15 on amd64. It build properly using 2.6.5-2 and it's now uploaded. I've tried again with 2.6.5-1 too, and it failed. What would be wrong with binutils in that case? Could you file a bug report for it? The only difference between 2.6.5-1 and 2.6.5-2 is that the former uses the system bfd library, and the latter compiles a local copy from the gcl source (pre 2.15). gcl uses bfd_get_relocated_section_contents to relocate compiled lisp objects into its running image, and bfd hash functions to get symbol addresses from its saved image. I can't recall the precise location of the original failure, but one of these is implicated. Should be straightforward to find with gdb and a local -g compiled copy of binutils-2.15, but I'm running short of time right now.
