Re: software raid jfs
using the debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from may 13 Wiped disk and tried this one again - Dropped down into shell just before the grub install and chroot /target added backports to sources.list apt-get update apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 complained about hotplug - and removed it?? went back and did the rest of the install. rebooted and things seemed to work, but no network wanted to install 2.6.16, but then it wouldn't let me log in - as if there was no root user?

Re: X700 + fglrx + debian-amd64 + xorg7.0 = running ?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings Hans and everybody, I have an HP Presario zv6000 series (zv6201cl to be exact) which has an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) video chip. I was able to use the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx) up through the 6.9 version of xorg. I never could get the ATI Control feature to work although it installed without complaint. I don't know about 3D effects having no applications (games?) that required such. I was satisfied with the screen resolution of 1280x800 that is native to the "widescreen" LCD monitor (13 inch; 333mm). The only other xorg (<=6.9) driver that would work was the VESA driver which produced 1024x768 resolution - horrible! I am running sid/unstable as I assume you are also. So, when the update to xorg 7.0 arrived, I found the old proprietary driver did not work. Actually, many things did not work. I had to do a completely new installation (separate /home partition so I lost nothing there). The move to the official Debian mirrors took place about that time, so I don't blame the disaster on the xorg upgrade alone. Never the less, when I got the new installation running, I found the ATI stuff (binary and source) would not work. So I was without a GUI for a week or so until the xserver-xorg-video-ati (6.5.8.0-1) module became available. xorg 7.x is apparently excuciatingly modular. Actually, I think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately, the transition left me hanging out to dry for a week or ten days. The xserver-xorg-video-ati does not do 3D effects, so if that is what your are seeking, you will have to pursue the fglxr proprietary driver, at least for now. I do hope the xorg people (and the rest of us) can convince the ATI leadership that FOSS/GPL is the way to go.

Everything is in the right place, as it is needed on xorg7. Yes, I made the packages out of the ati.com installer. And I built also the modules from flavio on myself (loaded down the *.gz, *.fsc and *.diff) from his repository. No success at all. I know, there is fglrx indebian, but only for 32-bit, not for 64-bit. I had a similar problem with the bcm4300-module and the ipw2100-kernel-module, where the 64-bit-compiled modules did not play together with the 32-bit-binary firmware. On 32-bit-systems everything went fine ! Best regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is it normal that the kernel (2.6.9 SMP) or the modules seems to think that the number of SCSI hosts is increasing though they aren't? Is there a way to reuse host numbers that have been used previously? GH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I run an Asus A8V-Deluxe, with that south bridge. I have never had any problems with it. I would check your ram/cpu/powersupply. You probably have a hardware problem.

In /etc/apt/sources.list try adding: deb http://www.backports.org/debian sarge-backports main contrib non-free Then apt-get update and you should be able to install with apt-get. I have found initramfs-tools the best initrd for new kernels. yaird didn't get along with my system last I tried it so I stopped trying it. :) > Can anyone tell me what kernel version the AMD64 kernels changed from > kernel-image to linux-image?
