Re: ALSA not working in chroot environment
Actually you shouldn't have to create the devices. If you just install alsa-base everything should be fine. I tried out flashplayer 9 yesterday in my 32bit chroot with 32bit galeon and it worked beautifully. Surprisingly enough the 32bit flash player 9 even played nice with dmix and my 64bit apps. I don't have to kill ogg123 or anything else to get sound with flash in galeon any longer.

I think the only difference between the boards is while mine uses Nvidia nForce 570 chipset, the M2N32-SLI uses the 590 chipset and costs a lot more. I have 2 80 GB SATA drives on the first and second SATA port using raid1 for the first partition on each as /boot, and the second partition on each raid1 for a PV for Logical Volume Managment. I used one 1GB stick of 800 ECC ram. AMD 64 Athlon 3800+ processor and an Asus EN7300GT silent video card. Sarge doesn't recognize the SATA drives. You'll have to go with Etch. Note that they're moving towards RC1 which breaks Etch beta 3 and they want us to use daily builds. You can either burn a CD (either business-card.iso or netinst.ist) or put the hd-media stuff and an iso on a USB flash stick. I did the latter. Boots from the USB no problem (shows up as a hard drive, rather than 'removeable') and all hardware is recognized. The most important thing to do is read the installation manual through end to end (well, skip the automation chapter) and have it available to you during the install. Good luck.

Hi Thierry, I have the: ASUS M2NPV-VM with amd64 running on it. Problems with the Intel "high def" on-board sound driver (stops working after a few minutes plus it pops before it plays every sound event.) ...using another pci sound card. Had trouble with the on-board nic (kept dropping the connection) disabled it. Had trouble with the temperature sensors (on-chip k8_temp) until I realized that the current 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8-smp debian kernel doesn't have support for it (k8_temp) so I'm running without knowing the cpu(s) temperatures.

Because I don't have any way of burning the CD. My previous main
computer, the one that could burn CDs died. My only functioning
computer is a 486 with ISA bus, no USB, and won't run the burner. I
download what I need to make the USB to a 100 MB zip disk, then boot the
new computer with a cd-rescue CD, since my Woody CD doesn't recognize USB
either, and make the USB per the install directions. Even though the
USB is 2 GB, the boot.img.gz only makes a 256 MB image.
I'm working now to try to make a full 2 GB USB per the 4.3.2 -the
flexible way, but am having trouble; I'm working on it. Once that's
complete, I can try a larger netinst CD. The 486 doesn't have enough
free space on any drive to hold a full CD image to split and sneaker-net
over on the ZIP disk.
I'm downloading the daily-build now to see if this problem has been
fixed since Beta 3.
Doug.

Re: Debian 64 freezes
Hi, I'm using an asus a7tc and it freezes also many times per day. Have you tried to compile your own kernel ? When i make big compilations, i have gcc errors due to "internal error". I have made 3 memtest 86+(during 5 hours, 15 hours and 18 hours). And it found nothing each time. I found a potential discovery when compiling wine : an .o gave me an error because it contained a link to a "wane" functions and not a "wine" function. So it seems that the memory motherboard controller change bytes randomly. But I have tried also a debian 32 bits and a gentoo 64 bits and the problem is still here, so it is certainly indenpendant from debian 64. I have contacted a guy who has also an a7tc (with a suse) and it seems that is hasn't any problem. I have changed the RAM amount (2*1GB) from initially and he didn't (2*512MB). Have you also modified you RAM (Physically, not the settings) ? Christophe pietia .moo a écrit : hi. I'm trying to use Debian on my Asus laptop (a6tc, Turion x2 64 bits).

Thanks Len. If I don't get a better answer, I'll try killing the
process. I can't setup a proxy on the 486 because the drive is too
small; I'm really shoehorned in here.
If nothing else works, I'll try building a bigger USB stick image and
put a larger iso file (the full net-inst). I'd have to split it in two
to sneaker net it over via ZIP disk and cat it together, since the 486
doesn't do USB either. I built the USB under a RIP linux CD that I had
lying around.
Either way, I consider this a bug and will put it in an installation
report.

I am not sure, having never had that problem, but perhaps you can go to
console 2, look at the list of processes in ps and see if one sounds
like it is the one doing the downloading. If you kill it perhaps the
menu on console 1 will see the failure and ask if you want to try again.
Hopefully it would keep the packages it has already downloaded. If it
doesn't, perhaps you should setup an http proxy on the 486 that you can
point the installer at so that even if you do have to start over,
everything downloaded before should be cached in the proxy already.
Just make sure the proxy is configured to cache large files too
(including files up to probably 10M or so, not sure how big any of the
files used by the installer are).

how do I interrupt an install?
Hello,
I'm in the process of installing on my new AMD Athlon computer. I'm on
dialup. The new computer accesses the net via ethernet to my 486 which
has a modem.
Boot is via USB stick with the businesscard netinst.iso, Etch Beta 3
AMD64.
The ppp connection drops occasionally and I sometimes need the phone.
When I got up this morning, the ppp link had dropped at 0130 but was
back up but the install was just sitting there. It hadn't
re-established the connection and continue the download ('installing the
base system'). I had to shutdown and start over; it even had to
reformat the partions (LVM on raid1 on 2 disks).
How do I interrupt the installer and get it to continue where it left
off?
Thanks,
Doug.
