I could never get dchroot to handle every possible valid filename directly.
Even doing tricks to make things work with spaces would fail if I had a
file with single-quotes, for instance.
Anyway, I ended up using a pair of scripts so that I can handle ANY possible
filename, including ones with mixes of single and double-quotes, spaces, or
other shell metacharacters. They are attached in case they're useful. (The
first one (not the .helper) is the one that is linked to the program name
that should be run in the chroot.)

I'm actually curious what BIOS option you're talking about, as I don't see anything like what you were describing listed either in the BIOS or in the A8V-E Dexlue motherboard manual. Anyway, 400MB seems like an incredible (and strange) amount of address space to reserve for ISA compatibility--it seems like it must be for something else. -- Wesley J.

Re: Anyone tried the ASUS A8V-E Deluxe?

As far as I found out it uses also the sk98lin driver. But the standard driver that comes along with the debian amd 64 cd fails the installation. After using an additional card I was able to upgrade to the gcc-3.4 tree. And after installing the 2.6.9-9 kernel I could load the sk98lin module with modconf. But I don't think its working. I have this board, I'm still working on migrating everything over to this system (it's going to be my new primary system on my desk). The network card works fine with the *latest* sk98lin driver from www.syskonnect.com; I had to bootstrap the system from CD, then compile the driver against the kernel, but then it worked fine. =) (I'm not sure why the sk98lin in the kernel is so old; the code from syskonnect is 100% GPL licensed.) I was planning to write up a board report on this once I tested everything out, but for now the SATA works fine in IDE mode (I'm not using RAID), the network works with said driver, sound works perfectly with the OSS and ALSA drivers (but the ALSA drivers give much better control over the card)--it's the standard via82xxx set. I haven't yet tried the onboard wireless or firewire, but USB works fine so far, and firewire was autodetected (it's a TI chip, so I don't expect trouble). -- Wesley J.
