I don't know whether or not there is a way to tell that (maybe with hdparm?). But I don't think this matters much anyway. These days _fast_ harddisks can deliver a sustained data rate of about 60MB/s, maybe with peaks of 80MB/s. So if you want to test the speed of SATA-II you could try to create a RAID0 array with at least 3 fast harddisks and see whether its data rate exeeds about 150MB/s.

am I running sata II ?
Hi, Is there a way to tell if my sata II drives are running at sata II speed? (300 MB/s vs 150 MB/s?) Running AMD64 Sarge on a 2.6.11 em64t-smp kernel. Thanks! Cheers, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I reinstalled amd64 from a sarge netinst cd I had burned. Since I have a stack of them I just grabbed the first one I saw which must have been a few months old. I know this for 2 reasons: 1. That's where 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 came from which, as you noticed, is no longer availabe and 2. The sources.list on the netinst cd was out of date and I had to hand-edit the file to get the net installation part working. Once I got the base system installed and rebooted I put in just the minimum (no graphics stuff at all). I changed the sources.list from stable to testing and updated/upgraded the system to etch. I then ran alsaconf (I may have downloaded the alsa stuff or maybe it was already there I don't recall). Anyway it worked and I could get up amixer and alsamixer which were quite happy. Then I installed the xwindows system (xfree86 not xorg) and kde. The sound still worked fine and this is when I reported that 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 was working with alsa. Then I installed the 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 kernel image and the sound still worked fine. So we know there is no bug in 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 or at least it is compatible with alsa since I have it working now. If you really want to use 2.6.8 rather than 2.6.11 then I'd suggest you reinstall from a fresh sarge netinst cd, just do the minimum upgrade to etch by editing the sources.file and try out alsa before putting in the graphics stuff. At least you'll know that the sound works before downloading 400 packages or so that come with KDE or Gnome (or whatever). You should be fine then. I have no idea what both of us did to mess up the system but we managed it. Cheers, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Re: installer can't find disk
Hello, Well, Lennart, you 're a savior :) I just got ahold of a Dell PowerEdge 1800 with xeons and really wanted to install a fully 64 bits compiled debian system on it. The "official" netinst for amd64 comes with a 2.6.8 kernel, which works really bad with dell's PERC4/Di SATA Raid controller (scsi hang... controller offline) It works well from the 2.6.9 onward i believe, works fully with a 2.6.12. With your iso, i could install everything and got a fully fonctional system. Thanks a lot for your work :) else i'd have had to build one myself... Would have required a load of time.

One of them was libc6. This one conflicts with initrd-tool < 0.1.79 , however only 0.1.78 seems to be available for my system. What is more interesting, I have looked at the package page http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/initrd-tools.html and I see version 0.1.82 available for testing. Why than it is not marked as upgradable? Actualy, I ended with this package uninstalled because of the above mentioned conflict. When I want to install it again, than in aptitude I see only version 0.1.78.

The maintainer declines responsibility for this kind of problem,
and directed me to this list.
I did what was suggested in an earlier post on a similar subject:
# md5sum libparse-recdescent-perl_1.94-4_all.deb
ab7be2fc61a0e7f8fca232fac1fb8e03 libparse-recdescent-perl_1.94-4_all.deb
dusk:~# apt-cache show libparse-recdescent-perl | grep MD5
MD5sum: 2033ad73707f602e0fdc0d23c3c946b8
So indeed there is a mismatch. 2 mirrors ("ftp.belnet.be" and
"ftp.nl.debian.org") have the problem.
Who is able to fix the situation?
Best regards,
Gilles
