My SCSI cd-r shows errors then disconnects. I have an older (PIII 1gz smp) box but I think the issue is with IRQ/acpi/apic allocation. My next test is 'noapic, pci=bios' the IRQ routing numbers otherwise don't make sense, to me anyway.

crackly and popping audio problems on 32-bit chroot (deng and zsnes)
So I recently upgraded my myth machine to using AMD64 version of Debian, I was previously using "standard issue" -- 32-bit, for a year and a half. So far I really like 64-bit! But I've run into some problems as the subject gets at. Since ZSNES doesn't work (I tried compiling it for 64 bit and I get issues on the compile related to x86_64), I installed a chroot to run it from. Same goes with doomsday (only it compiled fine but segfaulted when executed). So I created the chroot and made all the mount points (/dev too) installed all the necessary libs and compiled the sources. The problem comes when I run these programs they seem to work fine except for the audio... The (midi) music in doomsday is clear but the digital audio sound effects all have a crackle on top of them, all the sound in zsnes is crackly. As if there's a audio buffer underrun taking place, but I never see error messages. Both programs use SDL sound, Without options on other sound outputs. So I installed mplayer with all the sound options available and tried it out (with sdl,alsa, and oss) but it didn't have any problems! DOH! I'm really stuck on where to go now. I've done google and searched the AMD64 archives, any one have a suggestion? Or better yet a system that doesn't exhibit this issue (or a system does)?Thanks,-Greg
dselect wants to remove stuff that I don't want it to remove!
Help. I ran deselect and used SELECT to set ssh to "install" and when I selected INSTALL it told me that it wanted to REMOVE several packages that I need and did not want to uninstall. When I canceled the INSTALL and went back to SELECT to look at the packages it said it was going to remove they were labeled as ***, three stars like: "Don't remove" What's going on here? Anyone know? Thanks, -Greg

Accessing USB drives on a Dell PE SC430
Hello, I am trying to figure out why I am no longer able to mount a USB flash drive on a PowerEdge SC430. I successfully installed a base Sarge system using the image from Kenshi Muto [0]. From here I compiled a 2.6.16.1 kernel to add built-in RAID-1 support so I could do boot-on-RAID (for which I was successful). You can find the kernel config listed at [1]. Upon upgrading to the newer kernel I am no longer able to mount and access USB media. More details from /var/log/messages can be found at [2]. I would appreciate anyone's input so I can resolve the issue. Thanks. Note: I am not a member of this list so for any responses, please CC me a copy.

It is just when using the devices, with fast scsi you have to wait for the results, if applicable, of those operations. It all depends on what you do with your system, I.E. scanning high res color photo photos can create a large file that takes (x)time to transfer over scsi, while the USB2 would transfer much faster 480Mbs or 60MB/s vs the 10-20? MB/s for fast scsi, same with a hard drive. Of course if you don't use those peripherals that much it isn't an issue. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Two other packages: 'cpufrequtils - utilities to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature This package contains two utilities for inspecting and setting the cpu frequency through both the sysfs and procfs CPUFreq kernel interfaces.' "libcpufreq0 "- shared library to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature. This library provide an unified method to access the CPUFreq kernel interface.'

It does not depend on APM or ACPI, and it doesn't try to do anything other than control the CPU. The name is somewhat misleading, as any CPUfreq capable processor will work, not just those from AMD. However, it works better on CPUs that support more than two speed steps, like those with AMD's PowerNow! or Intel's Pentium M series. This daemon is less complicated than cpufreqd or cpudyn, at the cost of absolutely depending on a 2.6 kernel with the userspace governor and sysfs support enabled."

The AMD64 cpu can run 32 & 64 bit apps at the same time, all is needed are the correct libraries installed for the 32 bit apps. This last point is what Ubuntu and others have used to run OpenOffice on 64 bit. Does Debian amd64 have such a plan for running OpenOffice ?

Ubuntu Breezy has it all setup, 32 bit libs and a beta V.2 of OOo.org. Just works. For Debian I switched to 32 bit on my AMD64 since I don't do chroots and live in OOo.org at work.

I use this one, I don't know what the {ftp\http} is about, but mine

Vmware
I have Sarge-anm64, running, using alioth net-install iso & package archives. I was able to work through the missing libz.so.1 & libXrender.so.1 isssue, copied them from my ia32 Sarge box. Vmware configures the modules needed, vmnet& vmmon, but fails to power on the VM, either an existing one or a new one. VMware v5.0. There have been some references to this found using Google but nothing I can figure out as to the problem & solution. Hopefully someone has VMware running on Debian-amd64. TIA -- Greg C.

Doomsday with 32bit Chroot, what now?
Hi guys, I'm an old gamer and I like my doom. Unfortunately, deng 1.8.6 isn't 64 bit compatible yet. So, I've got my 32bit chroot installed and I downloaded deng, I was able to compile deng in the 32bit chroot while I couldn't get it compiled in 64-bit. However, now that it's compiled and installed (in my chroot) I can't figure out how to run it. No matter if I try to redirect the display to :0.0 or not deng doesn't work. It gives me the following: # /usr/local/bin/doomsday -game jdoom -file doom.wad -userdir ~/doomsday/jdoom LoadPlugin: /usr/local/lib/libdpdehread LoadPlugin: /usr/local/lib/libdpmapload Con_Init: Initializing the console.

Re: Framebuffer and Kernel issues
Guys, I figured it out! Finally! Sheesh what a PITA. Anyway, for some reason you can't load the modules: cfbcopyarea cfbfillrect cfbimgblt font fbcon after your already booted and get frame buffers working. I even tried adding these bad boys to the /etc/modules so that they load on startup. Still didn't work. So I added them to the /etc/mkinitrd/modules list and remade my initrd. When I rebooted it worked like a charm! YAY! So if you ever get the "Error -6" it means that you need to load that vesafb in your initrd. Weird, I know but it works now. That was the key! Later, -Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Re: Framebuffer and Kernel issues
So I've been trying to figure out the console framebuffer still without
success. I have some interesting information though. Whenever I load the
vesafb module at the command prompt by doing a "modprobe vesafb" I get this
error (I've already loaded fbcon, and the three cfb* modules):
vesafb: probe of vesafb0 failed with error -6
Does anyone know what this means? I googled on it and it came up with a few
hits but they were no help. When I try to do an fbset after loading the
vesafb module it still says "/dev/fb0 not found". I'm at a loss. I found
out something else interesting. When I unload the vesafb module it gives me
this:
Device 'vesafb0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must
be fixed.
Badness in device_release at drivers/base/core.c:85
Call Trace:{kobject_cleanup+100}
{kobject_release+0}
{kref_put+126}
{:vesafb:vesafb_exit+16}
{sys_delete_module+354}
{do_munmap+290}
{sys_munmap+90}
{system_call+126}
I don't know if anyone cares about this because mostly when you have the
vesafb module loaded you won't be unloading it but I dunno, maybe it's
another clue.
Thanks,
-Greg

Re: MythTv64
Also, if you guys want to compile with native ARTS support, the directory locations are as follows (also in settings.pro) # For Debian ARTS_LIBS = -L/usr/lib/kde3 -ldl -lartsc -lpthread EXTRA_LIBS += -L/usr/lib/kde3 -ldl -lartsc -lpthread INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/kde I found that the default settings and the Mandrake settings didn't make sense with the Debian AMD64 port. I believe the locations above are correct... at least it compiled on my machine. :P -Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MythTv64
Guys, if you want to compile MythTV with gcc-3.4 which is what you'll need
if you want the 64bit instruction set then you need to add these lines to
your settings.pro before you compile. (I found them on a google search,
they were on some Japanese page intermingled with the forien characters.)
CONFIG += release /* this line exists */
QMAKE_CC = gcc-3.4 /* add this line */
QMAKE_CXX = g++-3.4 /* add this line */
QMAKE_LINK = g++-3.4 /* add this line */
isEmpty( PREFIX ) { /* this line exists */
Then it'll compile with the "good" instruction set.
If anyone is using the AMD64 port with a pcHDTV card and has it working
well. Please email me. I'm struggling with this card trying to get it
working with Myth and 64 bits. I have it sorta working but it's hit and
miss for watching live TV. If I try to go watch live TV it will work
without sound 1 out of 10 times. The other times it just gives me a black
screen while I can hear the drives working. It's like the frontend just
freezes. I'm also trying out the DVB drivers but they are so cutting edge
that there isn't really any "good" documentation on setting Myth up with
pcHDTV in DVB.
Thanks,
-Greg

Re: Framebuffer and Kernel Issues
So, I've been doing some more research on the framebuffer issue and for some reason when I boot to a kernel that I have compiled the thing complains that /dev/fb0 is not a valid device. I've compiled the kernel including with Y for YES the options for framebuffers and console fb but it still doesn't work. I even took the stock Debian 64bit 2.6.9 kernel and built it without a make config. So everything is a module, but it still doesn't work. I've found something interesting though. I downloaded a piece of software called fbset which is supposed to allow you to switch fb settings on the fly. I tried it out on my self-compiled kernel and it gave me this: # fbset open /dev/fb0: No such device When it works (on the default kernel) it looks like this: # fbset mode "1024x768-76" # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz geometry 1024 768 1024 768 32 timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4 rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24 endmode Now, I thought maybe the other default kernel has extra stuff on it so I booted to it and checked the loaded modules and I saw that it had these installed: vesafb 7480 0 cfbcopyarea 3968 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 3136 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 4224 1 vesafb fbcon 39648 0 font8960 1 fbcon So I booted back to my own kernel and loaded these modules (no problems loading) but I still, according to the system, don't have a /dev/fb0. I can do a 'ls /dev/fb*" and see fb0 through fb7 but it still says that they don't exist. # ls -la /dev/fb* crw-rw 1 root video 29, 0 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb0 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 1 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb1 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 2 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb2 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 3 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb3 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 4 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb4 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 5 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb5 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 6 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb6 crw-rw 1 root video 29, 7 Feb 11 08:22 /dev/fb7 It seems like I need to do something with the kernel but I've tried almost everything in the kernel config options and have been unable to get framebuffers working. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? BTW: I'm using an Nvidia FX5700 Ultra, though it shouldn't matter cause it works in the default kernel.

Installing Nvidia 1.0.6629 Driver
All, So since I am so new to this 64 bit stuff, I have a stupid question. Should I be using nvidia's AMD 64bit driver? I downloaded Nvidia's 1.0.6629 driver for AMD64 and tried to install it onto my system. It appeared to install correctly but gave me a warning about a 32bit library. When the installer was done I tried to load the module and it seemed to load just fine, normal messages in the kernel. But when I setup the XFree86-4 config file for the nvidia driver and ran X11, it kicked me out saying that it couldn't find the nvidia module! I had it loaded in memory, it should not have to find the module. I struggled for a while trying to get this working by messing with the X11 config file but finally gave up and uninstalled the driver. I put the X11 config file back to the original specs and I can't get into X now. It complains about some libGL symbols, then complains about VESA write-combining range. What the heck is that? Did I screw myself when I installed the drivers? I read some posts from a while back about the nvidia drivers and how they install their own libraries in places you may not want them. How can I get my X11 working again? I prefer to get the nvidia driver installed but just a quick and dirty hack to get vesa back would be acceptable.

Just DL the 32 bits zlib package from debian.org, decompress it on your /emul/ia32-linux folder, ldconfig and here we go. greg -- http://www.livretdulibre.org/html-ed2/livret_libre.html -- Original Message --- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-amd64@lists.debian.org Sent: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 02:46:14 -0800 Subject: Openoffice crash. > Greetings all. > > I just installed "openoffice.org-debian-files=1.1.2-2+1.0.1" and it fails to > run with this output: > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openoffice > OpenOffice.org for Debian - see /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz > running openoffice.org setup... > /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup.bin: error while loading shared libraries: > libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > setup failed (code 0).. abort > Please read /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz for known > problems - > - > > I wonder if anyone has been able to get around this problem with openoffice? > > Thanks, > Chris W. > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

WineX "Cedega" compilation
Hi there, I miss so much WineX that I decided to compile it under my pure64 environment, without any ia32 chroot. Here are the first steps of my road to fun: - get winex with CVS - configure: $ cd winex $ export CC="gcc-3.4 -m32" $ export LDFLAGS="-I /emul/ia32-libs/usr/include" $ ./configure --x-libraries=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib \ --x-includes=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/include - break my teeth: $ make [snip] make[2]: Entering directory `/home/greg/TGZ/winex/winex/dlls/ntdll' gcc-3.4 -m32 -MMD -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -I /emul/ia32-linux/usr/include -Wall -mpreferred-scsignal_i386.c: In function `wine_sigaction': signal_i386.c:123: error: `__NR_sigaction' undeclared (first use in this function) [etc etc] I'm pretty sure that __NR_sigaction is used in /emul/ia32-libs/usr/include/bits/syscall.h to define SYS_sigaction: #define SYS_sigaction __NR_sigaction No __NR_sigaction is declared in kernel headers, but I found __NR_rt_sigaction. My questions: - Did someone find the way to compile well WineX on AMD64 ? - Do someone can explain me the __NR_something problem I have ? Thank you ! greg -- http://www.livretdulibre.org/html-ed2/livret_libre.html

Damn. I there a debug level I could switch somewhere ? greg

VFAT: Very stupid question
Hi, I try to mount a VFAT USB key on my Debian/pure64 distro without any success: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/greg\> mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usb/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems I can mount the key on a ix86 32 bit system. I don't think this is an USB problem, because I can mount the key when it's ext2 formated, all modules related to USB are loaded etc etc. I don't have any VFAT HD partition to make tests. I tried with FAT (msdos), same problem. So here is my question: is there someone here, who can mount VFAT or FAT with the kernel-image-2.6.8-amd64 ? Thanks ! greg -- http://www.livretdulibre.org/html-ed2/livret_libre.html
Re: Need ia32 alsa lib
Thanks a lot, it compiles well. Now I can't get to the modem device, but I think it's not 64 bits-related, damn winmodems ... Thanks again ! greg P.S: just for curiosity, do all libs in /emu/ia32-linux come directly from x32_86 SID ? -- http://www.livretdulibre.org/html-ed2/livret_libre.html -- Original Message --- From: Andreas Jochens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: debian-amd64@lists.debian.org Sent: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 16:15:15 +0200 Subject: Re: Need ia32 alsa lib > On 04-Oct-07 16:13, Andreas Jochens wrote: > > installation or from the i386 .deb package and copy them to > > /emul/ia32-libs/usr/lib. > > The above should read /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib, of course. > Sorry for the typo. > > Regards > Andreas Jochens --- End of Original Message ---
Need ia32 alsa lib
Hi there, I'm compiling slmodem with ALSA support, in order to use an i8x0m modem. Unfortunately, it won't compile with ia64 libs, so I use the "-m32" option. But it won't compile neither because ia32-libs deb package does not contain libasound.so. So, is there a way to have libasound.so in the ia32-libs package ? Or is their a rapid way to get this binary ? Thanks greg -- http://www.livretdulibre.org/html-ed2/livret_libre.html
