Re: 2.6.15 on HP ZV6100 ( similar to compaq R4000)
I would have thought with 2.6.15 it had a chance. 2.6.8 certainly won't like the chipset in it. I think that it should work, i've a similar chipset (if not the same), and it works also with 2.6.8, recompiilng it. Not sure why 2.6.12 in ubuntu would work and 2.6.15 in debian wouldn't. Unless they load different drivers or something. The problem, in my case, was that kernel load atiixp module after ide_generic, and (don't know why) ati module can't take control of ide/pci correctly. ( this is not a reason, it's simply what happen in my notebook... ) bye! -- -gaspa- --- Powered by Debian GNU/Linux and Debian GNU/Hurd -- HomePage: iogaspa.altervista.org --- -Il lunedi'dell'arrampicatore: www.lunedi.org - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

2.6.15 on HP ZV6100 ( similar to compaq R4000)
[I am not subscribed to this list, so please reply to my own address] ... beside this it is also not strictly pertinent to amd64 port since the problem is on the 32bit klernel, on a athlon64 PC. i post here since i ham trying since a couple of week and any suggestion was different and unsuccessful, and the same model is often used for 64bit development] I have a HP ZV6100 . I have installed debian serge, then updated to etch. but either with 2.6.8 or 2.6.15, k7 or 486 i am unable to activate dma and in turn the computer freeze almost completely during disk access (expecailly if i download large files from a fast lan server). The hardware is fine since if i use a 2.6.12 from ububntu the dma is correctly activated and i can also activcate/deactivate it with hdparm. Any hint ? possible kernel personalization to get it to work ?

I would have thought with 2.6.15 it had a chance. 2.6.8 certainly won't like the chipset in it. So far support for ATI chipsets has seemed very unstable in linux, although it does seem to be improving a bit with each new 2.6 kernel. Is the bios up to date? I had all sorts of trouble recently trying to install on an athlon with nforce2/sil3112 controllers, and a bios update made all the problems go away. Not sure why 2.6.12 in ubuntu would work and 2.6.15 in debian wouldn't. Unless they load different drivers or something.

Re: Compaq R4000
I have a Compaq R4000 too and It's working properly except the sound,
check this page, maybe can help you. It's for Ubuntu but maybe...

Chances are you have some obscure file missing which is in a -dev package
somewhere.
In the Bad Old Days, when processor power was at a premium, Linux distributors
began distributing ready-compiled packages, which just required the files
copying into the destination directories {as `make install` does}. Disk
space was also at a premium then, so certain files that were generated during
compilation of a package, which were not necessary for the day-to-day running
of the package {but which might be required later, when compiling other
dependent packages from source} would be separated out into a -dev {for
development} package.
This habit has persisted long beyond any technical justification.
When compiling a kernel module from source -- or patching a precompiled
closed-source, binary-only kernel module to work with your existing kernel --
you need the header files which are part of the kernel source.
I personally have never had any joy with kernel-headers-* packages. Once I
compiled my own kernel, using sources obtained from kernel.org, all my
problems vanished. Debian makes it easy to compile your own kernel. There
is a package called kernel-package which generates a .deb file you can
install. You also need another package {libncurses5-dev, I think} for
`make menuconfig` to work.

Try searching for the unofficial debian fglrx packages, which should be much simpelr (and obviously much cleaner) to install. May even have included the patches required to compile against current 2.6 kernels. Good luck. ATI hardware doesn't generally get along well with Linux at this time. The Compaq R3240 and similar on the other hand are almost trivial to setup Linux on being all nvidia based. Very different than the R4000 at least.
