Re: ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard: comments?
I have a ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, with 2 300Gig as RAID-1 on the Silicon Image 3114, SATA controller a 74G Raptor SATA on the nVidia SATA and 250G ATA on IDE Primary master. A. E. Lawrence is correct on the disk enumeration issue. I am running 2.6.12-686-smp with udev 0.87-1 and the disk enumeration is quite flaky as some times it boots properly and other times not. udev also has a problem with my Radeon 7000VE in that it does not create the frame buffer devices. It also had problems with the Marvel Yukon 1G ethernet net interface until I disabled it from BIOS. So for now I am running 2.6.12-386 with an older udev. If anyone else is having similar issues with the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, I'd be willing to work together on getting these issues resolved. I am new to 'udev' and do not have a great understanding of what is due my ignorance or to bugs. Pete A E Lawrence wrote: Hendrik Tews wrote: Dear all, does anybody have experiences with the ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard or its Deluxe variant? Does Debian run out of the box on it? I did have a few problems with disc enumeration order differing between install and sarge, but this was on a fairly complex system with 4 SATA drives, a couple of genuine scsi drives and a legacy PATA (ie IDE) drive. The grub menu written by the installer tried to boot from the wrong disc (because of said enumeration difference), so I used a grub floppy and edited the entries on the first boot, and then changed them permanently. Most people with simpler systems have no problems. Unless my memory is failing, Jo is not right in recommending the Via K8T890: it is a Nvidia nforce4 chipset. Maybe Len's 2.6.12 installer might get around the problems that I saw: I expect that the disc enumeration will match. ael -- _ ___ Pete Klemm Embedded Systems Research,INC / __/ __/ _ \ 2604 San Mateo Dr. Software Consultant / _/_\ \/ , _/ Plainfield, IL 60586 email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] /___/___/_/|_| Voice: 815-436-4328 http://www.esysr.com Cell: 815-483-3472 Fax: 815-436-4328 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It is quite likely openswan (decendany of freeswan) can talk to checkpoint, but that doesn't mean it can necesaily deal with any proprietary authentication options they added. If people use just the normal features, interoperability is usually simple. Add weird complicated non standard features, and life becomes much harder if you want to use any other vendors stuff. You could always install a 32bit chroot and try to use the redhat package in there (perhaps running rpm to extract it (not install it) or alien to convert to a tar file, would let you place it in /usr/local of the chroot and use it from there).

Gnome broken in Sid?
Hi all, I did my first update in a week or so today, and now find that Gnome is doing very strange things indeed. Firstly, gnome-panel appears to be gone. I have no menus at all, only desktop icons. When I try dselect and look through things, most Gnome items appear to be 2.8.2, but gnome-panel is 2.8.3 and gnome-panel-data is 2.10!!! If I try to install gnome-panel, it wants to remove most of my installed applications. I can't seem to find a bug report about this, so not sure if there isn't one or if I'm looking in the wrong place. Can anyone confirm that this is affecting them too or if I'm just going nuts?

It's a feature of ssh. Thanks, that is helpful. It isn't as if pam can disable ssh key logins either. Is that a security hole? It would be nice if there were a way to have the pam module indicate, this failed, and that's final, as distinct from, this failed so try something else. It still requires a valid account and password to login. True, but I imagine that if someone is using this feature then they have some accounts they trust less than others. There are various ways to go about restricting logins (including sshd's AllowUsers), but the pam method seemed reasonable to me. Particularly because with PAM you could use the same user list for any number of services, not just sshd.

Current Sid vs Sarge
Hi all, Just wondering how the stability of Sid is at the moment compared with Sarge? I'm having issues with MPPE support in Sarge and I think I need to try a later kernel and ppp and the most straight forward way I can see to do this is to upgrade to Sid. My main conerns for stability are firefox, thunderbird, vmware GSX server (with appropriate patch and ia32 libs that is), and openoffice.org (chroot is fine). Oh, and I also use gnome rather than kde if that makes a difference. Any opinions welcomed :-) Pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

This is an upstream bug in mysql. I think this will be fixed upstream
soon.
In the meantime, please try the attached patch (which is against
mysql-dfsg-4.0.21).
Thank you for the patch. I did finally manage to get a seemingly
stable MySQL on amd64. Specifically, by converting from pure64 to
your gcc-3.4 repository. Thank you for that too!
After patching the sources, MySQL failed on the pure64 (3.3) archive
whether compiled from upstream MySQL sources or Alioth sources, and
whether I used gcc-3.3 or gcc-3.4.
Compiling (with gcc-3.4) on the gcc-3.4 archive did the trick though.
Either some of your patches to the libs, or simply compiling those
libs with gcc-3.4, seems to have solved the problems I was seeing.
The problem I had been seeing was when I'd do a make test after a
make, it would usually work. But if I ran it over and over again in
a loop, some one or another of the 206 tests run by make test would
fail once every 15-20 times through the loop. It was a different test
that would fail each time, and which iteration of the tests would fail
also seemed random.
This was reproducible on two separate machines, one of which has had
extensive memory testing, so I don't think it's dodgy hardware.
Compiling and running on a gcc-3.4-archive box ran rock solid, making
it through ~250 iterations of make test without an error before I
stopped it.
It gives me more faith in the gcc-3.4 archive for everything, since
the differences presumably are in one of the libraries used by MySQL.
Those would be:
% ldd sql/mysqld
librt.so.1 = /lib/librt.so.1
libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2
libcrypt.so.1 = /lib/libcrypt.so.1
libnsl.so.1 = /lib/libnsl.so.1
libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0
libstdc++.so.6 = /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6
libgcc_s.so.1 = /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6

Specifically, when running configure from the mysql source from mysql.com, it now fails with: checking LinuxThreads... Not found configure: error: This is a linux system and Linuxthreads was not found. On linux Linuxthreads should be used. Please install Linuxthreads (or a new glibc) and try again. See the Installation chapter in the Reference Manual for more information. Is LinuxThreads available as a separate .deb, or compilable separately, or am I going to have to modify the source or compile my own glibc? Thanks, --Pete

Please, could you show where did you find this information? I have found the opposite [1]. We are talking about: Promise 20378 vs VIA? VT8237 with a linux driver under a amd64 port. Leo Ps [1] http://www.linuxcompatible.org/cdetail11253.html I was taking my information from here (Jeff Garzik's driver status update page): http://linux.yyz.us/sata/sata-status.html The entries on the Promise controllers look more encouraging to me than the VIA controller (which is :00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)); the entry for VIA says: VIA Summary: No TCQ. Looks like a PATA controller, but with full SATA control including hotplug and PM. libata driver status: Beta. The Promise drivers are all labeled production, not Beta. --Pete
gcc-3.4 roadmap?
What's the future of amd64 compiled with gcc-3.4? I don't mean the repository that is currently compiled that way. I understand that's still missing a few packages and that it's not the official amd64 port, and may never be. Perhaps it's just an experiment that worked really, really well :) On the other hand, obviously at some point the amd64 port will be compiled with 3.4, and apparently there are technical benefits to doing so. Does anyone have an educated guess as to when amd64 sid will move to gcc 3.4? Or whether there will be an upgrade path from the current gcc-3.4 port? Thanks, -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Installation report: debsig-verify
I'm happy to report my first amd64 installation (Aug 15th monolithic onto an ASUS A8V Deluxe) went smoothly except for the problem with none of the packages passing the debsig-verify function so nothing would install. After doing: cd /usr/bin mv debsig-verify debsig-verify.real ln -s /bin/true debsig-verify everything else proceeded smoothly. Thanks to everyone who made the port happen. --Pete

The netinst ISO here: http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/install-images/ is large enough that I'd guess it installs some packages of its own, and they wouldn't be gcc-3.4 packages, which would be bad.

I've read the AMD64 HOWTO and other docs, and searched the lists, but couldn't find an answer. Is there an installer specific to the gcc-3.4 archive? What is the recommended method of installing it?

Multiarch, bi-arch, some people want them, that's great, but they're simply offtopic with respect to the amd64 port. --Pete
