K8 Mainboard addition

2005-09-28 Thread In The Night
Mobo : Abit AN8 Ultra (NForce4 Ultra)
ATA : amd74xx
SATA : sata_nv
Sound : intel8x0
Network : forcedeth

Installed with the 2.6.12 Len Sorensen installer - Thanks for the great work

Other hardware running smoothly:
Pinnacle PCTV Pro : bttv, msp3400
Logitech quickcam express : spca5xx (Thanks to Michel Xhaard for making this 
module)
HP PSC 2610 (MemoryCardreader,Scanner and Printer working - Fax not working)
HighPoint Rocket 1520 : hpt366
Nvidia 7800GT : A _big_ thanx to the debian people which made module-assistant.
Athlon64 3800+ X2 : Finally [EMAIL PROTECTED] at an affordable price.

Couple of things which are of small annoyance:
1. Abit hasn't released any spec on the uGuru chip, but I have found some small 
program to atleast read the sensors. It would be _so_ nice to do realtime 
OC'ing.
2. SATA spindown is broken, atleast I believe so when reading the kernel lists 
and hearing my 4 SATA disk spinning on full spaad all day long.
3. Sound cannot be captured directly from the PCTV Pro using btaudio - because 
of "bad wiring"?
4. The hardware sound controls on my USB-headset (a Plantronics GameCom Pro) is 
not working - alsamixer works fine...
5. My Plextor DVD-burner hickups sometimes usning mkisofs/growisofs - reports 
busy device or something like that.

A couple of questions:
1. I'm thinking of buying a SATA controller to put in one of the PCI Express X1 
slots. Chipset is SiL3132. Is the support OK in recent kernels?
2. I'm thinking of changing the PCTV Pro to a Hauppauge! WinTV PVR500 MCE. 
Anyone know if the support in ivtv is OK for this card?

Re: lineakd doesn't work

2005-02-12 Thread In The Night
I did take a shot at it.
But after some hacking and gdbing, I gave in because of lack of time.
The code in lineakd is sverely broken, and it is a miracle that it works on 
i386.
The errors is mostly when reading the config-file(s).
In functions where stripping spaces and control chars are done, there are lots 
of bugs.
I will try further when my time-schedule permits it...

Warning (Nvidia 6629, Kernel 2.6.10 and latest XFree86)

2005-01-13 Thread In The Night
Had a bit of a strange happening here.
Suddenly (after reboot and upgrading to 2.6.10 and reinstalling nvidia drivers 
from NVidia), my /usr/X11R6/lib64 had become a plain dir, 
and not a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib.
Result was that I had no OpenGL, and glxinfo segfaulted.
I had to remove lib64 and resymlink to lib, and ofcourse reinstall the nvidia 
driver.

Just a warning, so you who experience the same doesn't have to waste the same 
amount of time as I did...

Re: TIGER K8w Dual opteron crash

2005-01-07 Thread In The Night
I had the exact same problem on my previous GFX-card (MSI GeForce FX5600).
The problem was when running 3D apps like OpenGL-screensavers, the GPU got too 
hot.

When I downclocked the GPU and Mem on the GFX-card. the problem went away.

So, it's probably some weak hardware on your GFX-card (And you might look into 
getting a chassis with better airflow).

Re: Official 2.6.8 kernel not booting?

The order of which the disk-device handling modules are loaded is _very_
important.
Len Sorensen helped me sometime ago with the same problem.
The order solved my problem.

Re: AMD64 mainboard with X-PCI ?

2004-10-23 Thread In The Night
Some snippet from another news-site:
The New PCI bus; PCI Express

One of the biggest changes to the PC this year will be the introduction of a 
new PC bus called PCI Express (PCIX). PCIX will replace the current PCI bus 
that has a speed of 133 Mb/s, with a new bus that has speeds that start at 250 
Mb/s and can scale to over 1000 Mb/s.
PCIX will also replace the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). So new graphics 
cards will no longer have to fit in only one slot.
Motherboards with the PCIX bus should start appearing this Summer, so new 
graphics cards that use the PCIX bus should start appearing shortly thereafter. 
Makes you wonder if we'll see new PCIX motherboards with AGP slots for those 
that want to keep using their AGP cards.

If they're not totally wrong, then:
PCI-X = PCI Express

Now I've got the SCSI subsystem up and running...
But still pivot_root error and panic.

Disklayout as of today:
hda = PATA HDD
hdb = PATA HDD
hdc = PATA HDD
hdd = PATA DVD
hde = SATA HDD
hdg = SATA HDD

Important /etc/fstab-entries:
proc/proc   procdefaults0   0
/dev/hdg1   /   ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0   1
/dev/hdg3   /boot   ext3defaults0   2
/dev/hdg9   /home   ext3defaults0   2
/dev/hdg8   /tmpext3defaults0   2
/dev/hdg6   /usrext3defaults0   2
/dev/hdg7   /varext3defaults0   2
/dev/hdg5   noneswapsw  0   0

I believe it's something to do with the root= entry in menu.lst.

My menu.lst entry for 2.6.7
title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7 
root(hd0,2)
kernel  /vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/hdg1 ro 
initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.7
savedefault
boot

My menu.lst entry for 2.6.8
title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-3-amd64-k8 
root(hd0,2)
kernel  /vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-amd64-k8 root=/dev/sdb1 ro 
initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.8-3-amd64-k8
savedefault
boot

I've remade the initrd, with sata_via in /etc/mkinitrd/modules

My current situation makes me suspect that I'm pointing to the wrong device in 
menu.lst (root=)
I do have 8 USB ports which at a later stage uses /dev/sdXX a device-names, in 
2.6.7.

Help, I _really_ need it now.

This is only important because i _really_ want to compile my own customized 
kernel,
and I haven't done this since 2.0.21, I think it was...

And I'm trying to get into kernel customizing in general.

I probably should put this question in some other mailing-list, but since the 
amd64 port is a really evolving port, 
problems and solutions are more like a day2day issue.

Re: pivot_root: No such file or directory (was: Lots of PREEMPT on 2.6.7-6 and 2.6.7-3. 2.6.8-3 panics before mounting anything.)

2004-09-14 Thread In The Night
Hmmm
I've tried that.
I've tried mkinitrd -r /dev/sdb1 too...

The problem seems to be me having root on a SATA-drive

My menu.lst-entry is for 2.6.7 (working):

title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7
root(hd0,2)
kernel  /vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/hdg1 ro
initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.7
savedefault
boot

My menu.lst-entry is for 2.6.8 (non-working):

title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-3-amd64-k8
root(hd0,2)
kernel  /vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-amd64-k8 root=/dev/sdb1 ro 
initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.8-3-amd64-k8
savedefault
boot


Suggestions?

I have two different /etc/fstab with either hdg and sdb

ANd the Panic was:
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin..


It has something to do with my SATA-root drive changing from /dev/hdg to 
/dev/sda,
but I cannot get i to workSomebody mentioned trying to hack initrd, but I 
don't know how.

But it's enabled by default from repositories on alioth...

Is there a quick solution to disable it?
