Re: No sound with Kernel 2.6.11

2005-07-25 Thread Tobias Krais
Hi Dirk,

 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.

Sound modules loaded? Can you hear something with following command:
cat /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav  /dev/audio
If yes, its a KDE problem. If no, even the Kernel module does not work.

Greetings, Tobias

Re: SATA install - AMD64 - success story

2005-07-25 Thread Jörg Ebeling

Hi Joe,


don't wanna bother you, BUT:

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.


SATA is NOT running very well !
I'm running this AMD64 Debian since about 6 (or more) months on 
different AMD64 MoBos and I'm really no newbe.

I've some non-working SATA (devices) too, but it doesn't matter me really.
However whenever I see a new version, module, trick, tip or whatever I 
check it if it's working now.
In my point of view (and this isn't based on much know how in this 
issue), all my SATA problems are coming whenever there's NForce 3 
stuff on the Board.


However, what I wanna say is:
If I'm not able to wait 6 more months I'll buy me a new MoBo, but others 
don't like to go that way of problem solution.

They really have problems with SATA, they really miss their devices !

I'm surprised cdimage.debian.org is even serving those

out large files.  At least my experience with 2.0.x would suggest
otherwise.


It is a simple edit to the debian/rules file to fix the compile option for 
LFS in the source package, then just rebuild. The same goes for 1.3 
really, but I'm not sure it is a quite as obvious edit to debian/rules.


I'm running a 32-bit OS on it, which actually proved more stable because 
the LFS support on 64-bit apache seemed buggy (I was too stressed out with 
the release to properly investigate and submit a bug though). That's the 
reason why the http offloaders for the i386 stuff ran apache 1.3, not 2.0.

10 supports powernow and is 90nm. Works fine. Matching clockrates is

all cpu's are the same speed.

I don't know if one dual-core and one single core can be used together. I've

 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.

Could you check what mode your sata controller is in, in the bios?  On
my ICH5R board I had to put it in the native/enhanced mode rather than
the default combined mode for it to work.

It does work way better in native mode anyhow, except if you want to
install windows you will need a floppy to load the native sata driver
since it won't be emulating an old ide controller at all.  Due to this,
many boards ship with the emulation mode enabled (and Dell won't even
give you an option to turn that crap off).

 My understanding - which may be wrong - is that even though the

 be also inside initrd for things to boot properly. Getting the 
 AHCI module into initrd without the module being present in the

 I'm a different 'you' but for reference here's the entire

ahci has been included in sata-modules by kernel-wedge if it's available

You did reextract and rebuild the module after installing the new

Make sure the version is the new one.  And of course make sure you

It means that it uses the ABI of g++ 4.0 which is version 2.  Similar to
how some have c102 appended which was 1.02 or 1.0.2 or something like
that.  All parts of a C++ program have to use the same ABI when linking,
so the libs and the compiler must all agree.  By having the abi in the
name you can have multiple ABI versions of one library installed at the

That they use the GCC 4.0 C++ ABI. As Debian is transitioning to this

No you can't, if you can it's a bug and should be fixed.  The
problem is that the filename of the library does not change while
the ABI does change.  This means that the new version actually
has to conflict with the old version, since you obviously can't
install 2 files with the same name, nor would you be able to find
the correct library even if you could.

Anyway, it's going to rather hard to properly get things
installed in unstable while this transition is going on.  If you
want to be able to install packages without such problems, you
should be using testing instead.

I've had similar freezes to this both on ubuntu and debian with x.org
and nvidia drivers.  The only way to break out was to ssh in from
another machine and kill Xorg (which was eating 100% cpu)

Taking out the

Option RenderAccel true

from the device section in xorg.conf solved it for me.


  

I knew this workaround, but I don't want to lose 3d acceleration!

Re: kernel 2.6.11-2.6.12 freeze

 Are you using powernowd? As for me the nvidia-driver and powernowd won't work

Actually, I experienced freezes with AMD64 using any
frequency scaling in the kernel.  I was using cpufreqd, but even
without a userland daemon and just toggling things myself via
echo, I could get my system to lock up.  I was testing things
using 32-bit mplayer in a chroot to play a Real Audio stream.

As soon as I took out all frequency scaling of my kernel,
the system was rock solid.  This was all done from a console
without loading my nVidia module and no X running, so I can say
with a decent amount of certainty that there may be problems in
general with frequency scaling and AMD64 kernels.

Zack, living in truth feels good.  And it sticks in your memory.
Like, it's a truism with acid heads that you can never truly
remember what tripping feels like.  You think you do, but every
time you trip it's like waking up all over again, you recognize
the head coming on and you dig that your memories of it were
shadows.

Re: SATA install - AMD64 - success story

2005-07-25 Thread Jeff Breidenbach
 Someone let me know if it works.  What I would like to know is:
 
 Does it work at all (I tested it up to partitioning disks on SATA WDs on
 VIA controller).

Tested up to partitioning stage.

 Does it support AHCI.

Yes, if I manually run insmod on libata.ko and ahci.ko. Otherwise
the disk is not found.

My lspci data has been reported through regular channels
and there is also a copy at http://www.jab.org/install-report

 Does it support I2O (not dpt of course, since it doesn't use I2O
 drivers).

No idea.

 Does it work with Marvell Yukon PCIe chips?  I know the onboard PCI chip
 I have works, but many reports have shown 2.6.8 does not work with PCIe
 versions of the chip.  Perhaps 2.6.12 fixes that too.

My network interface is identified as Yukon something - don't 
know if that is what you are asking for.

 If any drivers are missing that you think should be included, let me
dmesg know and I will see if I can put those in too.

My only comment is this .iso should be linked from the main AMD64
webpage - http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64

ahci has been included in sata-modules by kernel-wedge if it's available
since May of this year, and is in the standard installer images using
2.6.11 and the not-yet-uploaded ones using 2.6.12.

Or maybe this one should be linked instead. The only standard installer
iso for Debian AMD64 I've found so far has a 2.6.8 kernel.

Re: burn cd/dvd: permission /dev/sg0 denied

   I have downgraded udev version: 0.063-1 - 0.056-3 and mantained
   same kernel version 2.6.11-9.  However problem remains again: no
   permissions on /dev/sg0. 
   Have you any idea???

Had the same problem; downgraded udev, and it went away.

I use /dev/hda for the sony cd/dvd writer anyway.
