Yes, I remember that it was a problem with upgrading to udev-150
something.  It would cause the kernel and other packages to not be
installed.

   |---net.agent -e /lib/udev/net.agent

Seems that net.agent is calling sleep. I wonder why?

I am not sure how I am supposed to interpret the data I obtained from the above.
I basically want to track the source of the sleep signals which
_constantly changes its PID_.

How to track source of sleep signal?

2009-12-16 Thread Vikram Vincent
HI,
My system has debian stable/testing. Off-late, when I start up certain
applications like OO.o
etc I find that they take a long time to launch.
htop shows that sleep signals are running and constantly changing PIDs.
How do I trace the source for this slowness?

2.6.24-4 kernel not booting

Upon booting I get the certain messages and then find myself in the
initramfs

cpu frequency detetion leads to timer problem

2005-08-11 Thread vincent atassi
Hi all,

I'm running a debian64, 2.6.11-9 kernel, debian built, system with an
athlon 64 3000+, on a nvidia chipset. Recently, and although I cannot
figure out what I changed in the configuration, the system won't
detect the right processor frequency and so the timer is quite weird
now. For instance cursor blinks faster, double-clicks become hard to
perform...

Actually I still can do frquency scaling, but the /proc/cpuinfo always
gives a 200 MHz down frequency compared to what it should be and I
guess the bogomips calculation is false now leading to an absurd delay
loop calibration. The /sys/system/cpu etc gives the corect frequency.

I tried to desactivate acpid and all its modules, powernow-k8 ass
well. I also tried to give acpi=off parameter to the kernel at boot.
It didn't change a thing.

I really don't have any idea anymorre to make it work, so if you have
any, please..

They are obviously some differences, since it can be detected (ACPI
detection) but nothing really important that doesn't make it almost
transparent to the kernel.

please be specific when you mention some randoms specs at least.

Except if you go into more than 8 dualcore cpus, that's not going to
happen. dual core processor are exactly like a dual cpus machines.

So if the kernel works for dual cpu amd64 then it's working for dual
core amd64.

The machine was shipped with fedora core 2 pre-installed on it, and it's
running debian unstable now.

I suggest you ask your vendor what problems exactly they have, because I
can't think of any software dual core problem which are not in a SMP machine.

dual core opterons are supported by all kernels.
my quad dual core works on 2.6.5 and 2.6.11 out of the box.

dual core are exactly like dual cpu. the only 2.6.12 "support" is to show
them correctly in /proc/cpuinfo as part of the same die.

kernels < 2.6.12 will show each core as different cpus. no big deal.

gcc-4 is already available in experimental.

just put an experimental mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list and then:

This is the assumption gcc make actually (int == 32bit) and probably all
sane compiler. maybe not for 16 bit architecture but they are probably
not supported by Zope.

you cannot assume either that long should be big enough to support a gid_t
(even if this likely to be the case for multiple decade and maybe forever...)
Then what about using long long to be sure ? or long long long ? see my point ?

Zope code made it wrong using "sl:initgroups" where it should be
"si:initgroups" (and with that, this is true for all arch, no need for
conditional compilation), as countless developers/programs that assume
sizeof(long) == sizeof(int)

And obviously it breaks on 64 bits arch...

The fix should look something like:

-   if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "sl:initgroups", &username, &gid))
+   if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "si:initgroups", &username, &gid))

This is wrong. gid_t is 32 bits on all architectures.
You should use "si:initgroups" everytime and certainly not change the
gid type to a long.

I had that too with /sbin/shutdown with a kernel built by gcc4 ..

There appears to be a problem in cdrom-retriever's logic
I think this ultimately comes from the kernel; some cdroms do not
work well with DMA turned on. Additionally, cdrom-retriever doesn't
do a good job of handling this (admittedly rare) case.

experiences with Dell PowerEdge1850 or PE2850

2004-09-12 Thread Vincent McIntyre
Hi list,

I am looking for anyone who has had experience with this hardware,
successful or otherwise. These machines come with Xeon cpus that
have the EM64T extensions turned on.

Red Hat lists them as fully supported by RHEL3, so I assume that kernel
support exists for the various devices inside. However I'd really like
to hear from Debian users who have had success with this h/w.
(http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=details&hid=5673)

My questions are these:
 * can these run ia32 binaries without modification (a la AMD opteron)?
 * I understand there is some support for them appearing through the
   amd64-xeon subarch; am I right in assuming this for a "pure64"
   execution  environment?

I did look in the list archives, but I couldn't see these particular
machines discussed.

Any information gratefully received
Vince
