badram patch for amd64?
Hi all, Has anybody ported the badram kernel patch to amd64? I tried applying the patch but the files init.c, page.h, Kconfig, and defconfig were only patched in the i386 sub-trees. Memtest consistently reports a single bit error for my DDR400 DIMM and being able to tell the kernel to stay away from that address would be cool.

D-I Etch Beta2 - Status update (3)
I've made a complete mess of CD images for Beta2 so far as the result of a wrong assumption. This means, as some installation reports and comments have shown, that CD images linked from [1] have been broken since last Friday. The good news is that there are now good Beta2 netinst and businesscard CD test images available from [1]. Note that these are not the regular etch_d-i or sid_d-i. The correct link for Beta2 images is currently: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/beta2-test-build/ Initial tests using these images for i386 and sparc64 have shown no problems. Tests for other arches are very much appreciated [2]. This also means that there are no good full CD images available yet. However, some issues with full CD images have been identified [3] and are being worked on. I've also uploaded the (hopefully final) 20060302 build of debian-installer today which includes the new 2.6.15-7 kernels. It has been accepted for i386 and so should now start building for all arches. We will probably have a small further delay in the Beta2 release, but because no blocking issues have been identified as yet, it looks as if we can keep it minimal. I'm somewhat reluctant to post hard dates ATM. I'm very sorry for any confusion. Please blame it on my inexperience as release manager for d-i and the complexity of the whole process.

There is now megaraid_mbox and megaraid_sas and megaraid_mm along with megaraid. Not sure which one is the right one for which hardware. You may also have to manually modprobe the driver from console 2 during the install. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Well, the driver may be doing something wrong then. How much ram in the system?

Yes the HW raid is often slower at throughput, but much lower cpu use than software raid5 can ever have. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Trouble setting up ALSA on Asus K8U-X motherboard
I have an AMD64 system on an Asus K8U-X motherboard. However, I haven't had success using ALSA and I have no sound at the moment. The sound card is identified this way: # lspci | grep audio :00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 20) alsaconf, however, properly identifies that this card should use the snd-intel8x0 module. A look at the Sound Card Matrix at the ALSA page shows that this module is indeed the one for this card. However, when the module is loaded, these messages are printed: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:04.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET ACPI: PCI interrupt for device :00:04.0 disabled Intel PCH: probe of :00:04.0 failed with error -13 The module does load, as you can see: # lsmod | grep snd snd_intel8x0 34216 0 snd_ac97_codec101244 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus2880 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss51424 0 snd_mixer_oss 17472 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm90252 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24008 1 snd_pcm snd57984 6 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10720 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11344 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm But not soundcards are identified: # cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- And running alsamixer produces # alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device kernel is Linux elrond 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 #2 Thu Feb 23 04:54:57 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux Previously (in kernel 2.6.13.4) I could use sound through OSS, but now not even that works.

kfreebsd-amd64 base system ready
Hi! For those who want to play with it, there's a Debian GNU/kFreeBSD system for amd64 now: http://io.debian.net/~rmh/amd64/ Its stage is very preliminar and only useful for developers. Instructions: - Install FreeBSD 6.0 for amd64, and setup network. - Extract /boot/kernel from kfreebsd-image-6.0-1-amd64-generic, and use it to replace the stock kernel from FreeBSD. - Get base.tgz and extract it somewhere. - Mount /dev (devfs) and /proc (linprocfs). - chroot and run /native-install. - Get /etc/passwd and /etc/group from a sane Debian system and copy them over (/etc/shadow is NOT needed). - Done. You should be able to install things via apt-get now. This is due to Petr Salinger who did all the actual work of porting Glibc and debugging it.
