Something really weird is going on with the gcc-3.4 archive
on alioth. It looks like some packages are missing and the package 
database seems to be corrupt.

It seems that the gcc-3.4 archive was at least partially 
destroyed when alioth's disks were full again a few days ago.

On my own server I have a private copy of the archive which
still works fine. I will reupload all packages from that
private archive to alioth again. However, this will take 
three or four days with my DSL connection. This procedure
will also cause every package which was still compiled
with gcc-3.4 to be replaced with a gcc-4.0 compiled version
because my private archive has been completely converted
to gcc-4.0. This will also be a good opportunity to finally
change the name of the archive to gcc4.

Andreas Jochens

It's the ATI SB400 chipset. Will work with the SATA_SIL (Silicon Image) 
driver starting with 2.6.11 - no distro seem to be _that_ current to 
have the recently released stable kernel, so bad luck for a plain install.

You can still install with an IDE-ATA drive, compile a new 2.6.11 that 
recognizes the SATA, copy over and install a bootloader. Worked for me.

Till now only two of my four SATA connectors work for me, the 2nd pair 
has a different PCI ID than the 1st one - different controller? ;)

It works for now, but it isn't "pretty"...

It requires some work on your part, but if you can't wait for a fix,
here are some things you can do:
1) You can either compile a fresh copy without optimizations or with a
different compiler.
2) You can use a dpkg from a rescue disk.
3) You can unpack a previous --working-- version manually (sorry, I
don't know how to do that offhand but it shouldn't be so difficult).
4) You can have someone else compile it for you. If it's statically
linked you'll have more chances that it'll work and, even more, if your
kernel has IA32 emulation enabled, you can use a 32-bit dpkg as well.

I think that's a good number of alternatives.

Good luck,

CVS Segfault

2005-03-17 Thread Javier Kohen

I was able to reproduce a segfault using CVS from gcc-4.0. As I reported
some time ago, after a recent recompile it was working fine, but I guess
it's not completely fixed. Maybe a rebuild will help?

Otherwise I'll try to hunt down the bug. In case it matters (or somebody
can recognize the problem), strace shows:
lstat("somefile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=276, ...}) = 0
stat("somefile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=276, ...}) = 0

No, I think it's "as" that is broken. You can see it segfault in "dmesg".

Problems in d-i derived CD images

2005-03-17 Thread Recai Oktas
Hi to all,

As some of you may already have known, some languages need extra
packages which get retrieved during the languagechooser stage.  For
example: Turkish needs 'console-terminus', RTL languages (Arabic, etc.)
need 'jfbterm', 'unifont' and 'libfribidi0', and Cyrillic languages need
'console-cyrillic'.  However I've noticed that some d-i derived CD
images do not include those packages (at least, this is the case for
Turkish), hence CD-based installations (without a network connection)
are badly affected for those languages.

Concerning the console-terminus package of Turkish, I saw this problem
in Ubuntu CDs (fixed in newer versions, thanks to Colin Watson) and in
amd64 CD images (hence CCed to debian-amd64 m-l).  I couldn't check
SkoleLinux, but I think it may have the some problem.  What I would like
to know is that, could we find a better method to make sure that those
packages are always included in CD images without the need of contacting
the relevant persons?

Regards,

Zero latency kernel 2.6.10 (64 bit)

2005-03-17 Thread James Titcumb
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find a binary zero-latency kernel 2.6.10 
(for amd64 obviously..)?

I tried Daniel James' script, but didnt manage to build with much 
success. I've not got a vast knowledge of building kernels and 
whatnot... I've switched to Linux as I find Linux easier to use, but 
there's a lot of stuttering going on with more than 3 or so tracks in 
Ardour. I know it ain't the soundcard as I've got a perfectly good 
working Delta 10/10, and its currently getting dusty! :(

Thanks in advance,
James

The 1st SATA controller seems to work with the SATA_SIL driver from
vanilla 2.6.11 (and none sooner, I tried), and I'm using it that way
now. Since the Debian Pure64 CD doesn't come with that, it doesn't find
a HD when trying to install with the CD.
I have the following problems:
--
* Though the SATA is configured in IDE mode in BIOS it does not show up
as IDE within Linux and this does not change when the ATIIXP driver is
loaded - ide2 is not recognized as a bus with connected devices. My SATA
HD is listed by the BIOS to be channel 2 master, while CD-ROM on the
Dual ATA is listed on channel 0, channel 1 is unused, so shouldn't the
SATA drive show up as /dev/hde or something???
* How can I tune the ATIIXP driver via parameters or source modification
so it recognizes the SATA controllers as devices to configure???
* How can I force ANY IDE driver to recognize these SATA drives in IDE
mode?
This is a mail regarding this topic I'm confused about. The author seems
to think, ATIIXP can do the 4379 as well:

I don't have a /lib32. Is this the Multi-Arch thing the HOWTO talks about
in the section about future plans or do they thave yet another approach?
(sounds at least better than my chroot with bind-mounts)

I've just installed Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 preview for amd64 on a brand new 
HP zv5464 laptop, and it has OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 working. I guess 
it's using stuff in the /lib32 directory to do this.

Flawless install, by the way - the only issue was that the 
pre-installed ntfs partition was corrupted (yes, on a brand new 
machine), so ntfsresize failed. I fixed this by booting Windows XP, 
running chkdsk /f at the command prompt, rebooting Windows so that 
chkdsk could run, then rebooting with the Ubuntu disc in the drive. 
 
Cheers

Daniel

Is DMA enabled for the disks?  If ide-generic is running the controler
instead of a native driver you don't get DMA which means all IO is slow
and uses a lot of cpu.

Check /proc/ide/ or if sata it should be enabled (unless you run sata in
old ide compatible mode).

I confirm. I tried without success, then asked to the OOo ml and they
told me OOo1.9 won't (yet) compile on Amd64.

As far as I know OpenOffice does not compile under AMD64. You have to
setup an "i386 chroot" and start OpenOffice from within there.

Try searching the Debian amd64 howto which has a small guide how to
setup such a chroot.

As far as I know, openoffice.org will not compile on
amd64.  See the HOWTO/FAQ.

Not sure about v2.0.  Did you try it yourself?
> What did you have to do to make it work?

Maybe ask the OOo people themselves.

Has anybody managed to get OpenOffice.org -- either the Debian source package, 
or the 2.0 release candidate -- to compile successfully on AMD64?

What did you have to do to make it work?

You'll probably have to run a 32 bit chrooted mplayer to be able to
play wmv files. If yoy compile mplayer from sources under a 64 bit
environment it will arge that only 32 bit plataforms can make use of
win32 libs (and you need them for playing wmv files). Now that a x64
edition of windows with a 64 bit media player  and 64bit dll's has
been released maybe we'll be able to compile mplayer against them
without the need of a chroot.

Hi
for powernowd you have to load the module powernow_k8.
I have loaded the module cpufrq_powersave too.
And it works fine.
