megaraid utility for amd64?
Hello folks, I am running amd64 on some Dell 1850s. Dell has a utility program called dellmgr that allows you to perform various functions on the MegaRAID controlled disks. Does anyone have a version of dellmgr, or similar program that will work under Debian amd64? Just point me at a download if you know of one. Thanks. -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kernel source thanks
Thanks to all the folks who helped and made suggestions while I was trying to figure how to get the source and compile a 64bit SMP kernel. I have finally gotten it working as a monolithic kernel, no loadable modules, and the client is happy. I learned the hard way that Broadcom NetXtremeII network interface does not use the driver called Broadcom NetXtreme, but instead uses the Broadcom Tigon driver. Sigh. I'm hoping that etch will make this easier next time, though I'm thinking of just moving up from 2.6.12 to 2.6.17 from kernel.org now that I have a working .config for this system. -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I tried all of the stuff people suggested the last time, at least to the best of my understanding of them. The closest I can find is the linux-image-2.6.12 source package on snapshots.debian.org. http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2005/09/28/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/ Latest version in there is 2.6.12-10, for which you can find the .orig.tar.gz, the diff.gz and the dsc. That should be able to be compiled given a proper .config file. Thanks for the help so far. I have gotten the source files and used the current config as a starting point (it was in /boot as expected). I have compiled the kernel several times, all to no avail. The system fails on bootup with something that looks like I need to do *something* with mkinitrd, but I'm unsure of what. The last few messages before kernel panic are: RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 4660KiB [1 disk] in ram disk done UDF-fs: No partition found(1) kernel panic - not syncing: UFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown- block (0,0) The above is transcribed by hand, so there may be a typo or two. I tried using the old initrd, and I tried running mkinitrd (though I think I'm missing some key factor there) but consistently get these messages until I go back to the old kernel. I feel like I'm making progress, but missing something minor. Anyone have any pointers? Even pointers to a more appropriate forum ;-) -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: How to get the right source
Hello again, I am still trying to get a 64bit smp kernel working on my Dell system. I have installed and successfully run 2.6.12-1-amd64-generic. I have tried installing kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp and kernel- image-2.6.8-12-em64t-p4-smp. Both of those fail to boot. Please note that this is a newer Intel processor that runs the AMD64 bit code. I really would like to find the kernel source for 2.6.12-1-amd64- generic to rebuild it, but it does not seem to be available on the mirror I am using. Does anyone know where I might find that? Or even a kernel-image that would work. My department has a *policy* of building non-modular kernels, so building from source is preferable. Any pointers or help will be greatly appreciated. I tried all of the stuff people suggested the last time, at least to the best of my understanding of them. -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Why not just install the amd64-k8-smp kernel that comes with the distribution? Thanks to everyone who responded. Our local policy is that we rebuild all linux kernels without loadable kernel modules. So, I have to rebuild the kernel anyway, and I need to add the smp support as well. -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

How to get the right source
Hello folks, I am new to the 64 bit stuff and I need to rebuild my kernel for multiple processors. I know I should apt-get the source packages, but which packages and from where? My /etc/apt/sources.list has the following: deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian sarge main contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main I have installed am running this on a Dell 2650 with Intel processors. Here is the uname -a line: Linux ripberger 2.6.12-1-amd64-generic #1 Fri Jul 22 18:12:08 CEST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux I assume that I just need to download the kernel sources, do the make menuconfig thing and make the new kernel from there. Any other cautions or suggestions? -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
