 Greetings Goswin-


 I have the Promise disabled in the BIOS. I was going to use
 my two 250G PATA in a raid only changed my mind.

 Have you checked out the source? http://linux.yyz.us/sata/

Doesn't list that model.

Goswin-
Mine is the PDC20378 aka TX2 with 2SATA+PATA
controlled by the sata_promise kernel module.
The PDC20376 is probably very similar, maybe 133 vs 150 or
something trivial.
That should be listed as TX4/TX2 in the kernel config under
low level scsi drivers. The TX4 is a 4SATA chip and uses the
same driver as the TX2.
The TX2 and TX4 were add-in cards using the PDC2037x chips.
I built a kernel with the promise enabled and there were no
problems.
Maybe the K8 Motherboard List should list sata_promise not
PDC2037x to be consistent.
The Promise SATA is production code and aught to be working.
PATA maybe not depending on the kernel, never did try.

Re: unstable fglrx 8.10.19?

2005-02-23 Thread Andrei Mikhailovsky
I've followed the guide on the link that you gave me. However, when I
try to modprobe fglrx i get the following error in dmesg:

fglrx: no version magic, tainting kernel.
fglrx: Unknown symbol put_page
fglrx: Unknown symbol put_page
fglrx: Unknown symbol put_page
fglrx: Unknown symbol put_page
fglrx: Unknown symbol put_page

I don't recalling having anything like when installing drivers using
rpm.

Do you know how to fix this?

Many thanks,

Andrei

 Try using the drivers I built using flavio's packages here:

 If that doesn't fix it, I'd suggest reporting of rage3d.net's forums, as

2005-02-23 Thread Andrei Mikhailovsky
A small correction to the previous message:

I get the errors during modprobe only if I compile fglrx module using
make-kpkg. If I go to /usr/src/modules/fglrx.. and run make.sh, then
manually copy the fglrx.ko and run depmod -ae, the module loads without
any errors.

 The PDC20376 is probably very similar, maybe 133 vs 150 or

It is supported by the source as such, it has the PCI id in its

which works perfectly.

It seems noone else is using the onboard 20376 so it might not be
surprising that bugs haven't been found.

Re: dchroot script (was Re: running openoffice from chroot)

2005-02-23 Thread Peter Nelson
Alexandru Cabuz wrote:
The suggestion with the 
openoffice \%u\ worked. But if you say there is a cleaner solution...

 

Yes, but a better thing is to fix dchroot's / su's stupidity with a
script (make this do_chroot):
 

I don't understand. What should I do with this script?
 

From the FAQ:
   You can make things slightly simpler even than this. Write a small
   shell script like the following, and place it in your PATH: eg.
   /usr/local/bin/do_dchroot
[Use the new script from the mailing list]
 

   Make it executable:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/do_dchroot
 

   Now create a symlink to this script from each command you want to
   run inside the chroot to this shell script:
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s do_dchroot openoffice
ln -s do_dchroot oowriter
ln -s do_dchroot oocalc
 

   Now you can execute openoffice by simply typing openoffice or oowriter.

You will need to define _GNU_SOURCE for that (before any
includes).

debian-amd64 Mirror

2005-02-23 Thread David Coulson
Hello,
	I have setup a mirror of the debian-amd64 directory from alioth. It is 
available via both FTP and HTTP at 
http://mirror.ohiolinux.net/pub/mirrors/debian-amd64/ (replace http with 
ftp, as appropriate :-)

If there is anything missing, please let me know. I have it updating 
every 6hrs at this point, but I can change this if necessary.

I have an ASUS K8V with a Promise PDC20376.  It is running under

never put a very high load on it.

dual opteron m/b: S2875ANRF vs. GA-7A8DW

2005-02-23 Thread Max
Hello!
I'm hesitating over a choice of a dual opteron motherboard. Currently I 
consider two options:
Tyan S2875ANRF http://tyan.com/products/html/tigerk8w_spec.html
and
Gigabyte GA-7A8DW 
http://tw.giga-byte.com/Server/Products/Products_ServerBoard_GA-7A8DW.htm
They are quite similar (including a price ;) though there are some differences:
1. Form factor ATX vs. EATX (although Gigabyte claims design to fit ATX chassis 
screw hole, and I think it will fit my middle-tower).
2. Tyan's board has Intel 82541EI GbE LAN controller on-board while Gigabyte's 
possess Broadcom BCM 5705 (which one is better?).
3. Tyan has 5 PCI slots, Gigabyte - 2 PCI-X and 1 PCI (currently I don't have 
any PCI-X devices).
4. Tyan has integrated Firewire controller (I use firewire sometimes, currently 
with PCI controller).
With respect to the features, I would prefer Tyan's board. But as a brand I 
like Gigabyte better than Tyan: previously I've had some negative experience 
with Tyan, and for more than a year I have been very pleased by dual-athlon 
Gigabyte motherboard GA-7DPXDW-P.
The motherboard is going to be used for intensive 24/7 computations. Of course, 
under Debian pure64.
Please share your experience or suggestions.
Thanks,
Max

Re: dual opteron m/b: S2875ANRF vs. GA-7A8DW

2005-02-23 Thread Lee Begg
I have a Gigabyte GA-7A8DW.

Installs (sid-amd64-netinst.iso) and runs perfectly fine on Pure64/unstable.  
The EATX size caught me out and I had to get a bigger case.

$ uptime
 17:19:49 up 26 days, 14 min,  2 users,  load average: 1.42, 0.53, 0.23
(not working too hard currently, but was compiling with make -j2 :-)

The two PCI-X slots can be used as standard PCI slots.

The only thing to watch for is to make sure the DDR is in the right slots, or 
it won't boot (at all).

Hope this helps.
Later
