Re: DVD burning stop to work...PLEASE HELP ME!!!

2006-03-13 Thread Gordon Ball
On a similar issue I've found that the latest update appears to have broken k3b (when attempting to burn an image I get the error (cdrecord returned error code 1) which appears to be permissions related, since it successfully burnt the image when run as root. I haven't checked all the permissions manually but k3b identifies when it starts up that "cdrecord will be run without root priviledges" and "cdrdao will be run without root priviledges". Starting k3bsetup to fix this currently gets me a blank panel (from the command "kcmshell 'k3bsetup2'").
Anyway, for the moment running k3b as root appears to deal with this if you have this issue.On 3/11/06, Tony Freeman <

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to make any difference. Are the kernel
options (root, real_root) unchanged in this version?

I'll have a go. However, that option is marked as depreciated in
favour of CONFIG_SCSI_SATA. The stock kernel I was running has
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA disabled.

Kernel panic on boot with 2.6.10 Kernel

2005-02-05 Thread Gordon Ball
Having until recently been using the stock 2.6.8-1-amd64-k8 kernel
(without problems), I decided to try and compile a new one myself.

Using the package for kernel-source-2.6.10 I compiled a monolithic
kernel with (I think) everything essential for boot compiled into the
kernel.

In this configuration the startup successfully detects the existence
of both the SATA controller and IDE controller (and all the disks
connected to both correctly) and correctly prints out the partition
table for the SATA disk (which includes the root filesystem).

However, when it gets to trying to mount the root filesystem it
returns the error:

Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,5)

Block device 8 appears to be "sd" which I think is correct - the SATA
controller in question is listed under SCSI devices. sda5 is the root
partition.

The system is a Gigabyte K8N-Pro motherboard (nForce3 chipset). The
IDE controller uses amd74xx and the SATA controller sata_sil. The
config file for the kernel is attached.

The system is configured

BIOS boots (hd0,0) containing GRUB and kernels for a different linux
installation. GRUB points at (hd2,0) (sda1) which is /boot for
debian-amd64 containing the kernel, initrd etc. sda5 contains the root
filesystem, which is ext3.

The GRUB invocation is

root(hd2,0)
kernel /vmlinuz real_root=/dev/sda1 root=/dev/sda5 vga=792
initrd /initrd.img

This successfully boots the previous stock kernel (2.6.8-1-amd64-k8).

I also attempted to compile the kernel with just about everything as
modules, and then create an initrd (mkinitrd with ROOT=probe in
/etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf). However, this configuration fails to
even detect the SATA controller and the above kernel panic line ends
with "unknown-block(0,0)" instead.

I've run out of ideas on this one. Am I missing anything obvious?

Many thanks

K8 Mainboards List

2004-08-17 Thread Gordon Ball
I've used the 'intel8x0' driver with the Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro motherboard
onboard sound with reasonable success (with ALSA). 

This was in Gentoo system with a 2.6.7 kernel.

Whether this applies to the other Gigabyte mainboards with the same onboard
sound (Realtek ALC658 Audio AC'97 Codec) I'm not sure, perhaps anyone with
these boards could confirm.
