hmm, do I miss some package or is this a real problem?
Hi again, Well, now I've gotten to the point of starting actually make my installation useful. And in order to make it useful, I need DirectFB (www.directfb.org). But the version in sid repository is 0.9.20 and I need a newer one. So I grabbed the source package from the website and tried to compile it, and I get: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../lib -I../../lib -I../../src -I../../systems -D_REENTRANT -Wall -O3 -ffast-math -pipe -D_GNU_SOURCE -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -MT matrox_crtc2.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/matrox_crtc2.Tpo -c matrox_crtc2.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/matrox_crtc2.o In file included from /usr/include/linux/fb.h:5, from ../../systems/fbdev/fbdev.h:31, from matrox_crtc2.c:54: /usr/include/asm/types.h:23: error: conflicting types for `int64_t' /usr/include/sys/types.h:194: error: previous declaration of `int64_t' /usr/include/asm/types.h:24: error: conflicting types for `u_int64_t' /usr/include/sys/types.h:200: error: previous declaration of `u_int64_t' make[3]: *** [matrox_crtc2.lo] Error 1 Now, I'm not sure if directfb is just not 64bit clean or if I'm missing some package or something...but I suspect its maybe my installation that's missing something, because: 1. There's no complaining on the directfb mailing-lists :) 2. At least Gentoo is shipping 0.9.22 but there doesn't seem to be any patches. And also, a related question: in order to run multiple directfb applications at the same time, it needs a 'fusion' kernel module (some ipc system). I'm using the latest kernel-image from debian repository, and when I try to compile the module (it's possible to compile it out-of-tree at least with self compiled kernels...) I get: make -C /lib/modules/2.6.11-9-amd64-k8/build \ CPPFLAGS=-D__KERNEL__ -I`pwd`/linux/include -I/lib/modules/2.6.11-9-amd64-k8/build/include \ SUBDIRS=`pwd`/linux/drivers/char/fusion modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.11-9-amd64-k8/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [all] Error 2 and indeed, there is no 'build' directory. anyway to have it without building the kernel (well that's not really a problem, out of interest).

Lainaus Frederik Schueler [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, you need to install kernel-headers-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8, it contains the directory the build symlink is pointing to.

So, the consensus seems to be memory problems, which is something that I suspected myself. I haven't tested thoroughly yet but I will do more testing tonight (remove one of the memory units, run memtest86+..something else?). Memtest86 usually works. Unfortunately, usually always, but it's the best place to start. Often enough, memory problems can be diagnosed by certain behaviour, and what you're reported seems to drop into that category. Ok, yesterday I ran the memtest86+ utility and indeed it showed some errors on the test 5 of the test series (but the test 8 showed no errors). And this is what the memtest86 webpage says... There have been numerous reports of errors with only tests 5 and 8 on Athlon systems. Often the memory works in a different system or the vendor insists that it is good What do you guys think? Can I be relatively certain that it's infact the memory modules that are just not compatible with amd64 + VIA K8T800 cobination? I think I'm going to replace the ram since when I bought it I was going for some abit approved memory, but the seller convinced me that this is as good but cheaper :) I also ran the prime95 utility from mersenne.org and that also fails in the first test. Don't know what to make of that, but somethings definately not right. Anyhow, I want to thank you all alot for helping me out, this is what I call great support :) Thanks, juhis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

A new, unstable system, HW problem ???
Hello list, This mail might be partly off-topic, since I'm pretty sure it's my hardware that's at fault and not debian-amd64, but I don't know where else to ask, so I thought I'd try here, thanks for you patience... :) So, the situation is, that I upgraded my computer on weekend, with the following components: AMD64 3200+ (Winchester core) Abit AV8 mobo Seagate 7200.8 250Gb sata harddrive 2x512Mb 64bit DDR memory (M-Tec, Twinmos MT6464400D I quess) I installed debian-amd64 sid distribution with no problems, so thanks to all the people who made it happen, it feels really fast when it works...but the problem is, it doesn't work very well. My system crashes all the time, it's very repeatable. It crashes everytime I try to compile a kernel, every time I try to copy my old home directory (~10 Gb) to a partition in the new harddrive, and at least once when I tried to watch an mpeg file. I've found one oops in my syslog, but I'm not sure what caused this oops. But I was hoping someone here could maybe point out the most probable faulty component in the system. The reason I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware problem is, that I also tried a 32bit sid in the computer and that isn't stable either. And I've upgraded the kernel to the newest 2.6.11.9 on the amd64 version. And the only parts that aren't new in the computer are power unit and video card and I've tried two of each just be sure...so I really can't think of anything else than hardware problems...can you? Any how, the oops part is attached to this mail, I'd be very grateful if some kind soul could help me out, I'm very confused...
