waite until the maintener solve that or

get the source package from archive and build it ,

system clock running 4% fast

2006-03-20 Thread Andrew Schulman
Since I built my new amd64 host, my system clock is borked.  It runs about
4% fast-- gaining an hour a day.  This is way to much gain for ntpd to keep
up with.  To compensate I've had to set adjtimex --tick 9600, which
approximately corrects for the drift.

This would be tolerable, except that the drift rate isn't constant.  It's
all over the place.  Right after I boot it's stable at about -50 PPM, but
then after a few hours it suddenly goes nuts.  Look at the adjustments
ntpdate has to make when I run it once a minute:

20 Mar 05:05:58 ntpdate[17703]: step time server 168.75.65.20 offset
0.060836 sec
20 Mar 05:06:55 ntpdate[17724]: step time server 168.75.65.20 offset

20 Mar 05:11:42 ntpdate[17763]: step time server 168.75.65.20 offset
-1.274522 sec

No wonder ntpd can't keep up.  The drift rate is all over the place.

I'm running a custom 64-bit kernel 2.6.15.  CPU is Athlon64 X2 4200+,
chipset is nForce4.

Many people are reporting problems related to time with the 2.6.15 kernel on
amd64, e.g.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3927
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354995
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.1/1505.html

A search for amd64 linux clock turns them up.  However, 80% or more of the
discussion seems to be about the AMD/ATI bug, which applies to the
combination of AMD processors with some ATI chipsets (not sure which one). I
don't have an ATI chipset.  Still, I've tried all of the following boot
parameters that people have recommended for this problem:

disable_timer_pin_1 (my host won't boot)
no_timer_check
noapic acpi=off
clock=pmtmr notsc

I also disabled CPU frequency spread spectrum in the BIOS.  The result is
always the same-- the clock is stable after I boot, but a few hours later it
goes nuts again.

Help!  How can I fix my system clock?  Do I a hardware problem?  How can I
tell?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew.

I can remember a story about a Sparc/Solaris system that was the time
server for a network but it kept very, very bad time.  It turned out it
was also terminal (RS232 type) server as well.  In Solaris the serial
interrupt ran at a higher priority than the clock tick so it was losing
a number of clock ticks every day - thus the poor time.

I was wondering if something simular was happening to you?  Have you got
some hardware/driver that is causing the system to miss clock
interrupts?

Hope this helps

Mount/fstab problem

2006-03-20 Thread Land Haj
A few days ago I tried out gnome on my debian sid amd64 installation. For some reason, everytime I started gnome, nautilus would pop up with a little window where it demonstrated the files on a backup partition. This partition is clearly set to noauto in fstab, but I couldn't stop gnome from mounting it.I decided kde worked better for me, and uninstalled gnome. The backup partition doesn't get mounted when I enter the desktop anymore, but the funny thing is that now the /proc file system is not being mounted at boot (like it did before), and hence ooffice gives me warning and sound doesn't work in wine. I have followed the instructions in the AMD 64 howto to the letter, and had not altered fstab when the problems occured. Both these issues go away when if I su to root and do mount -a, which shows fstab is fine, doesn't it?Anyone know what's going on? Is my problem some kind of rest from the gnome installation, or is nautilus behaviour and the present issues just a
 coincident?Please help,Land Haj

Re: SATA RAID MV88SX6041 on Sarge 3.1r0a Problem

 Hi list,
 
 I tried to install Sarge 3.1r0a AMD64 on a Supermicro server with
 Marvell SATA RAID MV88SX6041 controller.
 Because Sarge Installer CD could not recognize the controller I used a
 temporary IDE disk to compile and got the driver
 (ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/drivers/linux/marvell/mvsata340.zip)
 
 I followed the instruction in
 http://www.deesconsulting.com/howtos/marvell-sarge.txt
 Now I can install Sarge to my SATA disks (I still get warning message:
 mv_sata : no version for struct_module found: kernel tainted
 actually, but Sarge can recognize my disks now).

Somehow I managed to install this driver. I can remember having some
problems like you. It could be, that I solved this by unsetting
Loadable module support  ---  [ ]   Module versioning support
(EXPERIMENTAL).

Kernel is 2.6.8 (using Debian Sarge).

Perhaps it helps.

 Hi,
 
 sorry if not is the correct list, but I have found than this issue have been 
 threaded before [1] and I have a  some aspects not very clear, I would like 
 to ask  to the list about it.
 
 We have bought a HPProliant ML150 G2 that comes with a RAID controller. This 
 raid controller is a Adaptec HostRaid 8130 SATA Galileo/SATA II PI-X.
 
 1) I have found some people that says that this controller is the _same_ (or 
 can use) [2] the Marvell 88SX6541-BCZ driver. Please, could you confirm this?
It is a Marvell Chip. lspci gives me this:
:03:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
MV88SX6041 4-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 07)

I do not know about the driver. I just know, that in Kernel 2.8.15 there
was support for this controller, but it was marked highly experimentel
and I found it unstable. Perhaps this changed with Kernel 2.8.16, but I
have not tried it, yet.

For your other questions I have no answers, sorry. But perhaps you have
a look on this post:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/03/msg00356.html

The post is about the same sata controller.

What is in your /etc/fstab (not in the chroot, the one in the chroot has
very little purpose unless you want to have some mounts available for
manual use while in the chroot).

Something like this should work fine:

proc /proc  proc defaults 0 0
proc /chroot32/proc proc defaults 0 0

I have a Supermicro motherboard H8DAR-T with this Marvell controller on

kernel, and the etch netinst disk. However it isn't in the initramfs, so
you have to change that per my earlier posting.

I've greatly benefited from this howto; it's good to see it keeps being 
maintained. Shouldn't the section about the 32-bit chroot mention 
schroot also, though? (chroot seems to be deprecated on unstable).


Here's my version of the do_dchroot script (it seems to not work as 
well as the current one):


#!/bin/sh
ARGS=
for i in $@ ; do
ARGS=$ARGS '$i'
done

exec schroot -p -c ia32 -q `basename $0` $ARGS


The above assumes a [ia32] entry in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf like so:

use Tyan (I use Asus) and I don't use rackmount (so hence no problem
there).  I know the nforce chipsets in general have fairly decent
support in Linux.  I believe the AMD chipsets do too.  No idea how the
ServerWorks for opteron are doing Linux wise.

As for PCI, well usually you can get a 90degree adapter to put at least
one pci slot in a rackmount.  More than that often means custom board
for a specific case design is required.  Maybe this problem has been
solved now, but I certainly haven't seen it done yet, other than custom
systems (like IBM, etc).  1U is just a pain for expansion cards.

Maybe this is what you are wanting: 
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt20b3870.html (1 PCI-X slot)
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b2891.html (1 PCI-X and 1 PCIe slots).

They have lots more, but most have just one expansion slot.  4 SATA
drives seem standard, and they can even be hotswap it seems.  I don't
think linux supports hotswap in libata yet, but it is being worked on.

 For some reason the /etc/apt/sources.list lines for downloading the

Hello Roberto,

thanks for the reply.

The problem is already aptitude update (or apt-get update).
(Not aptitude upgrade)

I have downloaded the debs directly from rdonald's page and
installed them with dpkg.

However, either due to some misconfiguration on
http://people.debian.org/~rdonald or on my system
the sources.list lines mentioned in the HOWTO and
on http://people.debian.org/~rdonald do not work.

I have a Tyan machine and am very happy with it, but it doesn't look

tyan.com has barebones systems that should do what you want.

http://tyan.com/products/html/barebone_amd.html

My company just bought one of their higher-end ones (dual CPU,
dual-core capable, etc), and the person doing the assembly has been
very impressed with the fit and finish.  When the rest of the parts
arrive, we'll be able to tell you how they perform.

Most modern PCI cards support 3.3v operation, so will work fine in PCI-X 
slots. PCI-X is backwards compatible with 32-bit 33MHz PCI.

Often true, but TV cards still need 5V PCI.

Thanks! Indeed, it's there -- the Transport GT20 (B2865) comes with the 
option of a PCI slot and is just the ticket! I had looked around the 
Tyan site and missed it.

dual-core capable, etc), and the person doing the assembly has been

That would be great -- the hardware looks like it should all be supported.

Best,

I have a DVB-t card that works fine in a PCI-X slot, and it looks like the 
more recent (2388x based) Hauppage cards should also work.
  

What about v4l cards? The old-fashioned analog signal?
