fdisk_and_dbootstrap_problem

Dear Debian Users,

How to do something like:

'debootstrap --arch amd64 sarge /pure64/ http://amd64.debian.net/debian-
amd64/'

without internet connection, i.e from DVD?

I have an 80GB HD with 8 partitions (swap included).
When I boot from DVD, fdisk wants to erase/partition the whole disk ---
it doesn't see the partitions that are present.

So I installed Ubuntu for AMD64 on part. No8 and 
I want to install Debian Sarge AMD64 on part. No2
without loosing the data on the others
(and I have no connection to the Internet yet).

With the best regards,

PS I am completly new to the list.
I had an i386 16MB RAM some time ago with Debian Woody.
It worked perfectly! But the hardware died...

You are reading that wrong. It should give you a choice between
wipeing the disk and manualy partitioning it. The later lets you reuse

 you can easily guess :) In particular, reading haskelldb changelod I
 noticed Update dependencies for ghc6 6.4.1. Could it be something related
 to the last ghc6 uploads? However, could you please take a look below? Thanks,

Aha, ghc6 6.4.1-2 is registerised on amd64, but 6.4.1-1 isn't, and it
turns out the two are incompatible. You'll have to BinNMU any libraries
built with 6.4.1-1 (in this case haskell-hsql).

Sorry about that.

work with the new directory containg symbolic links?
 
 
 Hmm. I don't think there is a concept for the search order of those
 links yet. The directory is ment only for system library dirs so there
 should be no need for ordering them I think. User dirs should still be
 in ld.so.conf
 

 There could be a conflict even for system libraries, e.g. between
 a stripped-down small library in /lib used at boot time, and the
 full multi-lingual version in /usr/lib, for example.

That would never work since /lib is before /usr/lib hardcoded in ldconfig.

Yes. It is probably a result from the accidental migration some time ago

As AMD64 is currently being integrated into the main archive, it is

amd64 glibc update for sarge

2006-03-16 Thread Petr Salinger
Hello,

 On glibc maintainers request, I have added glibc to the candidate for
 the next stable release on the wiki. [1]
 According to the diff between the packages, this update only concerns
 timezone data. There is no change in the glibc code.

When (and iff) will be glibc updated due to timezone, 
would be also possible to include fix specific to amd64 only (bug #314408) ?
Glibc with this fix is currently in sarge-unsupported archive for amd64.

Thanks for considering it.

As long as your hardware is supported, there is no problem running the
i386 version of sarge on it.  It is still an x86 machine.  Some people
want to run the 64bit version due to the amount of ram, or type of
software they have, while others prefer to stick with a much more mature
architecture for now.  Both will continue to be supported by debian, so
upgrades won't be a future.  If multiarch is ever implemented, you
should be able to later upgrade from i386 to running a mix of amd64 and
i386, but for now it is one or the other (unless you place on in a
chroot within the other).

Thanks for the tip. According to the calculator I need 230W. Because I 
use it as a server, the videocard is a simple ATI one. I have replaced 
the crap Fortron with my trusty old Enermax FMA 350W (2) wich also has 
26a on the 12v.

 Mine is you were lucky so far and the draw on the power supply has 
 finally made it unstable/started to kill it off.

Guess you're right.

 A bad power supply  is one of the most common reasons for hardware 
 failures hopefully it has not damaged the pieces and you may be able 
 to reuse all that hardware you have laying around now in another 
 machine. BTW you may want to get something along the lines of a 450+w 
 with at least 24a on the +12v line just to be certain you do not draw 
 too much from the 350w you have put in.

Well, the server is running stable at the moment and de RAID set is 
still in sync so I'm hopeful this solved the problem.

Thank you and the rest for your help.

All followed by:

It causes mysqld to keep running, but it just stops doing anything.
You can connect, but anything that accesses the datafiles will just hang
indefinitely. Causing mysqld to eventually get 'Too many connections'
after which you'd have to kill -9 the daemon to get it working again.

This happens on a dual Opteron 250 system with 4GB memory running
2.6.15.6 and mysql-server-5.0 version 5.0.18-9.

Another dual Opteron 250 with 2GB running 2.6.15.1 and mysql-server-5.0
version 5.0.18-8 doesn't show this behaviour.

I'll try installing the same kernel (2.6.15.1) on the non-working box
and see what that brings me. If any of you have any idea what might
cause this, please let me know!

Thanks,
Sander.

We use a duel Xeon server for fone-me.com, running Debian Sarge - its

I run amd64 unofficial sarge (with a very small number of backported
packages in order to use recent kernels) on a number of AMD64/Opteron
workstations. They are rock stable, run for months at a time (because from
time to time I update their kernels and thus reboot them) and are fully
supported by the debian security team. Amd64 is going to be an official port
of debian starting from next release, so I see no problem in future updates.
And yes, for the kind of workload I use there is a marked performance gain 
with respect to running i386 sarge on the same machines. By the way, I do

have a parallel i386 sarge installed in a chroot in these machines, to
ensure complete 32bit compatibility, so it's not like I'm sacrificing
anything, apart from a little disk space...

Waiting 20 seconds and ctl-d'ing out of the shell works here.

When mine does that drop into a shell trick, I just let it sit for 10 or 15 
seconds. The boot process prints on the screen that it's created the relevant 
drive in /dev. And a couple seconds after that, 'ls /dev/sd*' shows the 
partitions. And ctl-d climbs out of the shell, and the boot process finishes.

What you describe is happening here on 2 machines: a dual Opteron Sun running 
smp etch in 32 bit mode and a single P4 homebrew running sid. Both of them 
have a SCSI boot drive and a SATA to store big stuff on. (The servers running 
sarge are fine.)

The 2.6.15 kernel and/or the current udev and/or something else I don't know 
about are/is bent pretty badly. SATA drives are not SCSI drives. If the 
developers want to run them through the SCSI driver, that's fine. But they 
could at least call them sdA... so things wouldn't get confused. 

And whoever's doing that reordering should be put up against the wall. Or at 
least the installer should be told about the reordering algorithm.

Re: turion/mobile athlon benchmark

Hello again

I've managed to find a bit of time to reboot my computers.


If you look at the average reluts from all of the tests, AMD is just
slightly ahead in the MFLOPs, however, it took P4 5 seconds less on
average to perform all tests. This seems a bit odd...

Here are the details. I've the test 5 times from the clean reboot in

Re: amd64 glibc update for sarge

2006-03-16 Thread Goswin von Brederlow
Hi,

Martin Zobel-Helas asked me on irc to comment on the update so here we
go. The debian-amd64 team would welcome it very much if it got
included. As you can see from the bugreport [1] the fix is included
upstream and in debian since 2.3.5-3.

The bug prevents NPTL threads from functioning correctly which is a
big issue on amd64. Most notably mysql hangs due to this.

MfG
Goswin

Re: strange clock behaviour on a laptop

2006-03-16 Thread David Gasa Castell

Thanks a lot for your reponses and sorry for my delay,

I just had been busy trying to understand all your information. Indeed, the 
version of the BIOS firmware, according to the data provided in HP website, 
is completely updated (Nov, 22th, 2005).


The discussion in bugzilla is a little tricky for me so I'm not an expert in 
computer science.


I also tried to enter the kernel option acpi_os_name=Microsoft Windows XP 
and It doesn't run.


I'll be very glad for further comments ? Do you need more data ?

Thanks again,

David Gasa i Castell

Take a look at this. This bug has been around awhile but a fix is out.
I'm asuming that this is an ATI chipset. Would definetly try a bios
update if one is out for your laptop.

  If it has an ati chipset (I suspect it does since I think the nx

  acpi_os_name=Microsoft Windows XP
 
  According to what I have read the BIOS on almost all ATI based

  anything that isn't claiming to be windows.
 
  If that doesn't do it, then maybe you need to pass an option to
  set which timer pin to use and/or ignore, but I don't remember
  which ones off hand.

 Ian I had clock problems on my HP Pavilion zv6004EA until I upgraded
 Ian the firmware (used Windows to do it, g!) but since then it
 Ian has been well behaved.

 Ian Could I suggest a quick look at the HP web site.

Depends on how well Sarge supports your hardware and on how experienced
you are with debian.
I generally install testing and switch immediately to unstable, but i like
the bleeding edge.

If you want a more conservative approach, then go with Sarge and know that
you might need newer kernels than the default one to support your hardware.

 Yes. It is probably a result from the accidental migration some time ago 
 that was reversed. That reversal resulted in the AMD64 archive being 
 partially broken.

Yes, as a result lots of packages are missing.

 As AMD64 is currently being integrated into the main archive, it is 
 probably not worth trying to fix this.

Which is why I never bothered to try and fix it.

 the unofficial Debian-AMD64 Sarge from:

 (last version is from jenuary 2005)

 by the way if some one has ASUS A6B004 - i'll be glade for all
 information which can help during installation

For a new laptop I would say Sarge probably is not current enough, check 
the hardware though if you want to be sure. A while back unstable was a 
better bet for amd64 than testing, not sure if that is still the case.

RE: Dropping to a shell

Thanks for the reply Glenn!

I just tried your suggestion and it still does the same thing. I also
forgot to mention that I am using Quad Xeon's 3.33ghz 64-bit. I did an
ls- l on my partition /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 and it finds it, but ctrl-d does
get me out of the shell, it just continues to say tty job control
turned off. Do you maybe have any other suggestions?

RE: Dropping to a shell

2006-03-16 Thread Bhaskar Manda
You can lsmod in the shell and find out whether or not the driver for
your SATA or SCSI card is loaded. If not, then you have to boot again
with your netinst CD and mount the root partition. Modify the
/etc/modules to include the driver, and re-make the initramfs.

realplayer in chroot VERY slow

2006-03-16 Thread Gary W. Swearingen
I've got realplay running via firefox, both in a chroot.
Firefox seems OK (though it didn't notice the ~/.mozilla I
copied to the chroot, like it does running outside the chroot),
but realplay GUI buttons take anywhere from a few to maybe 30 seconds
to respond to clicks and the video updates very slowly and the player
resets to run at slowest bitrate (34kbps).  Anyone have a clue for me?
Google didn't find one in my first search.

Thanks.
