It should work properly on kernels >=2.6.15, because of the newly
introduced patches (libata-pata-sata something, sorry it's late).
So yes, "just" a kernel matter.

installing ifort 9 with alien

[Rohit Kumar Mehta]

Hi I am trying to install the Intel Fortran compiler on a Debian AMD64 
workstation.

I read Daniel Grimwood's instructions here:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.ports.x86-64/browse_thread/thread/ea3f29040f74d8ce/c6fa52724b1fecf4?q=intel+fortran&rnum=3#c6fa52724b1fecf4

and followed them faithfully, but have had no luck. 

/proc/cpuinfo shows dual Intel Xeon 3.6 GHZ cpus  and Debian AMD64 
installed on it ok.  
Also /proc/cpuinfo has the following line:

"address sizes   : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual"

I am using Sarge which right now only has alien 8.52

So I cd into the uncompressed directory and do issue the command:

amd64:/scratch/ifortran/l_fc_c_9.0.031# alien -gsk 
intel-iforte9-9.0-031.em64t.rpm

Directory intel-iforte9-9.0 prepared.

Then I replace em64t with amd64 in debian/control and issue the command:

amd64:/scratch/ifortran/l_fc_c_9.0.031/intel-iforte9-9.0# debian/rules 
binary

i built debs for 6.9 using ati-driver-installer-8.21.7-x86_64.run using
--buildpkg
...i had to modify it a bit but otherwise it worked well
the driver supports it, but there are no rpms released yet, which is
the reason why you cannont use the debian package from flavio

I believe it may be kernel version dependant.  There has been work
lately in 2.6 for supporting S.M.A.R.T. and other such things on SATA
and 2.6.8 certainly did not do it.  This may be related.

Not sure what it does.

I find -t is a good way to check if DMA is on or not.  Speed under 5MB/s
and DMA is off.  Speed over and DMA is on.  If I get 50MB/s on my SATA
drive, I know it is working as it should.

you can even find a newest version version : 8.22.5

but according to this page

it is only compatible with "XOrg 6.7 or 6.8; XFree86 version 4.1, 4.2,

Hmmm: I actually tried 'modprobe' earlier and found that it didn't find
the module at all...

Still, doesn't matter now: system is up and running...

Better to just do: modprobe aacraid

It knows where to look and modprobe deals with module dependancies,
insmod does not.

powernow is working without problems (processor is switching between

Re: ACPI with AMD64

I have same cpu but with home brew kernel 2.6.15.1 (I don't see what you have)

>   cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling
> 

funny, I only have a CPU1 there, even though I only have, euh ... 1 cpu. 
(Wel... maybe not so funny ;o)
Anyway it also says  there.

But, I seem to remember the proc interface for this was somehow depricated.

Check if you seen anything in /sys (obviously, you should have the sys 
filesystem mounted):

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
200 292495
180 6574
100 704969

I surmise from this that on my system most of the time is spent at 1 GHz.
Don't know what the time scale is though (bogomips ?) 

Cheers,

Ernest.

I have an Asus A8N-E, the Bios supports Cool'n'quiet.

I compiled a kernel with PM debugging enabled, and this showed up:

pure64 is just a link to debian for historical reasons.

debian-amd64 is for secondary mirrors that already have a full debian

For users they all behave identical.

ACPI with AMD64

[Thimo Eichstaedt]

Hi folks,

I have an Athlon AMD 64 3000 MHz and want to use its powersaving 
futures. Therefore I am using PowerNow with the powernow_k8 module. 
This is working great.
Additionally it should be possible to profit from the power states of 
the processor (C1...C8). But the ACPI module tells me that only C1 is availabe:


Modules loaded: processor, powernow_k8, cpufreq_userspace
dmesg output when loading processor.ko module:
...
ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1])
...

cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power:
active state:C1
max_cstate:  C8
bus master activity: 
states:
   *C1:  type[C1] promotion[--] demotion[--] 
latency[000] usage[03559864]


 cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling


Is this correct or what have I done wrong ? Can anybody with a AMD64 
processor perhaps post its proc output ?


Thanks
  Thimo

And the subsequent requests will be send while the first file is still
downloading and get intermixed with the neccessary ACKs. They just add
some payload to the ACKs so to speak.

The idea behind jigdo is that you have a fast local mirror (or last
weeks CD) with all the little files but only a slow remote mirror with
the iso.

Fetching all those files fast will be faster than the slow remote
mirror even with the overhead. If you also have the iso on a fast
mirror then getting that directly will be faster obviouly.

Don't use /dev/sr0 with anything newer than 2.6.5. Don't load the
ide-scsi module at all but just use the native ide/atapi device
(/dev/hdd).

I suspect that the Depends/Suggests/Recommends fo the package are
wrong (missing). deborphan can't see a dependency that isn't stated in
the Packages file.

Right.  I think I've sorted this now.  Doing:

insmod /path/to/.../aacraid

seems to do the trick.  Excellent, thanks people :-)
