Re: Xorg 7.0 start problem
I have upgraded my system to xorg 7.0 but at start I got this error: xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to Xserver xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error There should be some lines before that, that may explain the problem. no, they are only lines returned launching startx via root. I had something like that because my sources for debian packages weren't up-to-date, which resulted in some xorg packages not being installed. two days ago I have changed my sources.list from debian-amd64 to debian. Could be it the problem (partial packages from a repo)? Thanks, Giulio

Dave One way you could possibly, maybe do it would be to install debian inside a vmware virtual machine, then copy the disk image file to /dev/hda. Alternatively, you might beable to install debian from a chroot (if you boot another distro that has the drivers, from a usb stick, possibly Damn Small Linux). Another method would be to install it to another machine, if you have one available, build the modules, put them on a floppy and copy them across as part of the installer, although im not sure about that one. infact, im unsure about all of the above, just suggestions.

Re: forcedeth fails on second port with error -12
Greetings Scott! Thanks for all that info ! I'll check those setting as soon as I get back to that computer (Tuesday). Just as a side note: Did you elaboratedly type all those lines in manually - Or is there a tool that can actually generate something like this ... I was looking for one but didn't find anything.. Thanks again, Sebastina Haase On Thu, 20 Apr 2006 23:25:19 + [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings Sebastian: As promised, here are the relevant settings from my BIOS. Please note that I have a 3Ware 9500 RAID card handling all of the drives which is why all of the SATA controllers are all shut down. I also have two PCIe video boards, which is why some of the video settings are the way they are. The machine has 4GB of RAM (8x512MB) which effects the memory settings. I can't vouch that any of these settings are right - or even sane. I am getting Machine Check Exception errors in my system logs. They don't seem to be adversely effecting the machine in any way. Tyan has not been helpful in diagnosing them or even in detailing what some of these settings mean. That having been said, here you go: BIOS Version: 1.02.2895 Installed OS: WinXP64 Hammer Config ECC Features ECC: Enabled ECC Scrub Redirection: Enabled DRAM ECC Scrub Ctl: 1.31ms Chip Kill: Disabled Dcache ECC Scrub Ctl: Disabled L2 ECC Scrub Ctl: Disabled Memory Hole 4GB memory Hole Adjust: Auto 4GB memory hole size: 1792 MB (not adjustable) IOMMU: Enabled IOMMU: 128MB Memhole mapping: auto Memory Config: Swizzle Memory Banks: Enabled DDR Clock Jitter: Disabled Memory Clock: DDR400 Enable All Memory Clocks: Populated Controller Config Mode: Auto Timing Config Mode: Auto Integrated Devices: USB Control: USB1.1+USB2 USB Legacy Support: Enabled Self-Healing: Enabled MAC LAN: Enabled MAC LAN Bridge: Enabled MAC Address: 00E08154CCF2 (not adjustable) MAC OPROM Scan: Enabled Audio Codec: Enabled SATA0 Controller: Disabled SATA1 Controller: Disabled Interrupt Mode: APIC SLI Broadcast Aperature: SLI on Master PCI Express MSI: Enabled PCIe Error Handling: Enabled Slave Devices: MAC LAN: Enabled MAC LAN Bridge: Enabled MAC Address: 00E08154CCF3 (not adjustable) The only piece of advice that I can give about the BIOS is that my NICs stopped working when I disabled the MAC LAN Bridge settings. Good Luck. -Scott -- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings Sebastian: Does the ethernet adapter look like this if you use ifconfig -a? eth2 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-E0-81-00-00-23-91-8A-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Note the Link encap of UNSPEC and the odd HWaddr. That is not the forcedeth driver, that the firewire network driver (eth1394) that you could theoretically use to link computers together via firewire. Both of your ethernet adapters should look alike, with a link encap of Ethernet and hw addresses of 6 hex groups separated by colons. As far as the BIOS goes, I don't think that I did anything odd. I also noted that changing the Installed OS setting from Windows to Linux did not make any noticable difference. Let me reboot and look into it and I'll post again. -Scott -- Original message -- From: Sebastian Haase [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings Scott! I did talk to the tech support where I bought the machine from. He confirmed what you said about sequential MAC addresses (I don't know what that Wikipedia page for PHYceiver is about ...) I finally did the BIOS upgrade to 1.03 (March'06) - did not help anything for me though :-( Luckily I took photos of each BIOS page before ! Some semi-important settings where different after the flashing. (e.g. ECC ram) I realized that forcedeth got even loaded when I removed it from /lib/modules/ ! Now I think it's in the initrd (ram disk) that I build with the kernel - It came up even when I had udev deinstalled... So I build a new kernel package without forcedeth - and nvnet instead. This way ifconfig shows both eth0 and eth1. but eth0 has this random MAC with many 00-00... appended. It does not see any other computer on its network. NFS on eth1 seems somehow unstable (logging into an X-session (AFTER gdm) hangs ... Now I'm back to forcedeth (no nvnet) (udev installed) - ifconfig shows only one adapter. Changing MAC addresses (ifconfig hw ether 12:23:34:45:56:67) generates an error message... Yes, I'm using 2.6.16 linux-source to build my kernel image. Scott, do you remember setting anything special in your BIOS ? I did change installed OS to Linux - but I did not notice any benefit.
sources.list problem
In light of the recent announcement The Future of AMD64 Port on this list, I have attempted to update my sources.list file for Apt. I have attached the file for reference. I have tried various combinations of the mirrors in the file in an attempt to eliminate error messages returned by the command apt-get update. A script file of that command's output is attached, also. At this point, the apt database files on my machine appear to be corrupted. Is there a way to rebuild the database files and get clean run from apt-get update? A sample sources.list file would be greatly appreciated. I am running an AMD64 machine, originally installed in pure 64 bit configuration. Any help greatly accepted, and I'd be glad to provide more info, if someone would tell me what is needed to better describe the problem. My problems began as I tried unsuccessfully to get an update of gnumeric - it is now broken between 1.6.3-1, 1.6.2-3, and 1.6.3-1+b1. Help here would be greatly appreciated, also.
