How to get SATA support in Debian

2005-07-24 Thread Chetan Thapliyal

Hi list

I have Silicon 3112 SATA controller on my board which is not detecting 
while installation. I guess it has no support in Debian. Can anybody 
suggest me the way to install Debian on it? I am using the latest iso 
image (debian-31r0a-amd64-binary-1.iso) downloaded from debian.org.


With warm regards

Chetan

Where are the packages ?

2005-07-24 Thread Hans
Hello !

Did I miss something ? All the packages in main are gone. Only the packages in 
non-free are there.

This is my last known entry in sources.list:

deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 sid main contrib 
non-free
deb-src http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 sid main contrib 
non-free

Was there a change ? Please let me know.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hans

You may want to set other variables (GTK_EXE_PREFIX, GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE,
GTK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE, PANGO_RC_FILE etc.) for GTK to be able to find
its modules.


Thanks a lot!
I've resolved all locale/gtk/pango/pixbuf warnings issued by 32-bit seamonkey 
with the following script

#!/bin/sh
export XLOCALEDIR=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
export GCONV_PATH=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/gconv
export GTK_EXE_PREFIX=/emul/ia32-linux/usr
export GTK_DATA_PREFIX=/emul/ia32-linux/usr
export PANGO_RC_FILE=/emul/ia32-linux/etc/pango/pangorc
export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders
/usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey

Now there is no a single warning, everything works smoothly as expected.

I still have one question though.
Is it possible to make these variables exported automatically on start of any 
32-bit application?

Thanks,

 Have a look at this one http://www.fs-driver.org/

 It's a ext2 driver for 32bit win, I use it for ext3 partitions as well
 without any issue. Maybe it works with 64bit win as well.
 And it is read and write capable.

I have been using an older version of this driver. I tried to install the 
current version from the web page but it won't install on x64. It does seem 
to be actively developed though, so there is hope for the future.

No sound with Kernel 2.6.11

2005-07-24 Thread Dirk Salva
Hi there,

I've tried to install Kernel 2.6.11-9-amd64-k8 from unstable in my
AMD64-Sarge. The kernel works, but with it I have no more sound in
KDE:-( Beep in terminal is available, but in KDE I hear nothing.
With my old kernel (2.6.10-9-amd64-k8) all worked fine.

Any hints!?

ciao, Dirk

There were a few of them all announced on this list.

Run apt-setup and pick a local mirror.

Boot in expert mode, run through the first menu steps, stop
before entering the partitioning menu, switch to another
console, and try to manually load sata_sil (modprobe sata_sil).
Then go back to the installer, and check whether your disk is
displayed by the partitioner.

Later, when your kernel is going to be installed, mkinitrd
should recognize that sata_sil has been loaded to manage
your boot partition. It will add sata_sil to the initrd.img
automatically.

You should post the pci id and the vendor string of your
sata device on the debian-boot mailing list.


Good luck

If you want to use gnome-volume-manager, yes!

How about just for normal, default, basic use of the system?

All I know about udev is that it manages device nodes, but does it do so 
by default in the 2.6 Debian stock kernels, or do you need to enable it?

The main difference of udev is that it run on userlevel and uses the
kernel as base for it. Yes, it's enabled on default kernel config.

SATA install - AMD64 - success story

2005-07-24 Thread Jeff Breidenbach

Success report.

Hitachi 7k500 SATA hard drive 
Intel Pentium D 820 CPU
ASUS P5WD2 Premium Edition motherboard 

I found that Ubuntu can install to the SATA drive but Debian Sarge
cannot. I've used all sorts of remastered installers, including a
2.6.11 AMD64 version.  The problem was not detecting the disk, and was
eventually solved by manually finding and doing an insmod on the
ata_piix module (on the 2.6.11 remastered installer).  Hope this is
helpful.

Cheers,
Jeff

Re: SATA install - AMD64 - success story

2005-07-24 Thread Jo Shields
Sorry, I've seen a lot of stuff on the list lately which makes me say 
What?. Installed to a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, via a Via VT6420 
southbridge's SATA connection, absolutely flawlessly, with the Debian 
AMD64 Sarge images.


Ditto a Dell EM64T server with some messy ICH5/6 setup.

I've really no idea where people get all their SATA issues from, it's 
not had issues for me since Woody 3.0r2 was current.

I've really no idea where people get all their SATA issues from, it's

Lucky you. 

I still don't know how to make Debian see the disk in AHCI mode, 
which is required for Native Command Queuing (NCQ). 

I think if Lenart Sorensen remasters an AMD64 installer with 
a 2.6.12 kernal *and* compiles the AHCI module (it's under 
drivers/scsi) then I'll know what to do.[1]

My understanding - which may be wrong - is that even though the
module is part of the stock 2.6.12 sid kernel, it has to
be also inside initrd for things to boot properly. Getting the 
AHCI module into initrd without the module being present in the 
installer is beyond my skill level. [2]

You should post the pci id and the vendor string of your
sata device on the debian-boot mailing list.

I'm a different 'you' but for reference here's the entire
output of lspci, at least when I've told my BIOS to run
SATA in compatibility mode. Don't know if things change when
running in AHCI mode. [3]

I expect my hardware is a little bit on the new side at the moment,
but will become increasingly common.

Jeff
