Re: Compiling a kernel module. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4

2005-10-17 Thread Jamie Rollins
Why should he not change the link?  Changing the link is what I did.  Why should
the link point to one version of gcc or another?  If anything, I would assume
that you would want to point it to the version that corrseponds to the version
that the kernel was compiled against, if for no other reason that to avoid this
very issue.

Re: Compiling a kernel module. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4

2005-10-14 Thread Jamie Rollins
I was having this same problem, even though I had both gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4
installed.  The problem was only in the link of /usr/bin/gcc.  You should have
gcc-3.4 installed (avvailable in etch), and make sure that the link at
/usr/bin/gcc points to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4.  Once that is done, modules will build
against gcc 3.4 and you will be able to insert them without problem.

Re: ssh login delay

is it a pam auth issue?  I don't see a pam module that controls that in my

Re: Matlab in sarge amd64 chroot

2005-10-01 Thread Jamie Rollins
Matlab comes with a native x86-64 version that I've installed and runs fine on
Sarge, for what it's worth.  Not sure why you would want to run it 32bit in a
chroot, honestly, but I'm sure there's a good reason.  If you'd like some hints
getting it installed natively, I'd be happy to help.

Re: Installer segfaults.

2005-09-26 Thread Jamie Rollins
You don't have to use pen and paper if you use the serial line and minicom.  You
can configure PXE to output to the serial line with:

"serial 0 115200 0x303"

as the first line of your configuration file in pxelinux.cfg.  The Debian 
installer
initrd I believe is already configured to use the serial line as well.  You may 
get
more information from the serial line as well.

wake-on-lan with Abit KV-80

2005-09-19 Thread Jamie Rollins
Hello, all.  I've been having trouble getting wake-on-lan (WOL) working with
some Abit KV-80 cluster nodes and was wondering if someone on one of these lists
had any thoughts.  (Maybe useful: sarge 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8).

So far, I have only been able to get WOL working (with standard 'magic packets')
from a fully powered off state, ie. the power to the board had been killed by
turning off the power supply.  I have NOT been able to get it to work after
powering down the board from a "poweroff" or "shutdown" signal.  I've also tried
various combinations of the -H/-P/-h options with "shutdown".

Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case?  I have tried every
possible permutation of BIOS and hardware settings to no avail.  If WOL works
from a completely powered off state, I can only assume that there is something
peculiar about how "poweroff" is "powering down" the machine, ie. it's not fully
powering down the machine in a way that mimics what happens when the power
supply is cut.  I guess this isn't a complete surprise.  Can someone fill me in
on what exactly is the state that the machine ends up in after a "poweroff", and
why WOL might not work in that state?  Is there a way to coax the machine into a
powered off state where it WOULD be receptive to a WOL?  Does this have
something to do with ACPI?  I'm not running acpid.  The last thing the console
spits out after a poweroff command is "acpi_power_off called", but I'm not
certain how to interpret that.

As you can imagine, Abit has not been of any help yet.  Any help at all would be
much appreciated.

jamie.

Re: matlab crashes on amd64

2005-09-06 Thread Jamie Rollins
I was having this exact same problem and I can verify that it indeed has to do
with the libc6 upgrade from 2.3.2 to 2.3.5.  I downgraded libc6 back to 2.3.2
and matlab works again.  In fact I downgraded the entire system to stable.

libc6 issues and libpam-ldap

2005-09-02 Thread Jamie Rollins
I was wondering if someone can maybe provide the list with some sort of concise
summary of what exactly all of these issues are that keep popping up with libc6
on amd64.  I have personally seen lots of issues, and I keep seeing people
posting dependencies questions that have to do with libc6.

The one that I am currently running into is that while trying to install
libpam-ldap on some amd64 etch machines today, I got the following unmet
dependency error for libc6:

-
$ apt-get install libpam-ldap
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libpam-ldap: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-22 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
-

I originally thought this was an issue with libpam-ldap, but the libpam-ldap
maintainer says that this is an issue for the amd64 maintainers.  Is libpam-ldap
supposed to be a newer version than it is?  

What exactly is going on here?

jamie.
