Framebuffers
Is anyone using framebuffers? I tried loading fbcon and rivafb on an nVidia FX-5500 and got no result at all (fb0 not created). The drivers work on my 32-bit laptop. Cheers, Dave
sk98lin doesn't work
Hi, there I've been installing Debian Sarge into a newly bought server which has 2 64-bit CPU ( Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz) and 2 1G-NICs. The kernel I am using is 2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp, from the kernel-image-2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp package. It works great except one thing. One of the 1G-NICs doesn't work. lspci shows that this NIC is a: +++ :05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown device 4361 (rev 17) Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 5021 +++ The driver I need should be sk98lin. But when I `modprobe sk98lin`, I got an error message, says +++ FATAL: Error inserting sk98lin (/lib/modules/2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp/kernel/drivers/net/sk98lin/sk98lin.ko): No such device +++ The next thing I tried was downloading and recompiling the kernel source. And I got an error message again, says +++ scripts/mod/empty.c:1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode +++ Then, I come here to seek for help. Thanks for any ideas! Xiaolin

Re: Gigabyte K8NSNXP motherboard report
Hi I've used to have similar issues when i've had different memory chips (even thought they've been made by the same company). Once i've replaced the memory to the once that were specifically designed to work in the Dual Channel mode. take a look at this link (it works great on my mb) http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=5608&GroupID=57 Additionally, you can tweak the memory settings from the bios (use Alt+F1) to unlock the hidden menu in the bios. Hope this helps Karl Hoppel wrote: FYI, I currently have debian-pure-amd64 running successfully on a Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 motherboard. However, there is one caveat.

"Full" Pure64 iso availible?
Hi Group, I am following this newsgroup for quite a while now. I am planning to build a 64bit server in early Janurary. My problem is that I will be at my parents at that moment and they only have an isdn connection to the net, so downloading a lot of packages will take a massive ammount of time (not to mention if I screw up and need to do it all again). So my question is: Is there a "full" iso image of the pure64 dist somewhere with most of the standard server packages on it (apache / bind / mysql / postgres / potfix etc.)? I have spotted only the netinstall and monolithic isos so far. Thanks in advance and greetings from the Netherlands, Phil signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
