Right now I'm only looking at PCI devices, since the ISA probe is invasive and there was concern that we wouldn't want to do that during the initial install. snddetect probably shouldn't have that constraint since it won't be used in the initiail install, but could be part of some post-configuration? Though for post configuration we may well want to look more closely at the other detection packages developed by Corel et. al. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#77088: wd driver won't load during install
Package: boot-floppies Version: 2.2.17 Using the i386 boot floppies provided for Debian 2.2r1, I am unable to load the wd driver for my SMC Elite network card. Under both the "idepci" and "compact" disk sets, part of the problem appears to be that the required dependency, the 8390.o module, is not included. This part I am sure is a Debian bug, since all the dependencies of included modules need to be included. The rest, I'm not entirely sure whether it's a Debian bug When running the full version of the install disks, the 8390 module is there and loadable, but then when I try to load wd.o, I still get a "init_module: Device or resource busy" error, whether I give it no arguments, all the relevant arguments (io, irq, mem), or anything in between. By comparison, a tomsrtbt disk (kernel 2.0.39 with the wd driver among the many it has compiled in) automatically detects and sets up the network interface. -- ==| "A microscope locked in on one point Rob Funk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |Never sees what kind of room that it's in" http://www.funknet.net/rfunk |-- Chris Mars, "Stuck in Rewind" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, so you want people to download that huge boot-floppies in case they just want a custom version of boot floppies without language chooser at all? I still do not think that this is a good idea to merge these two modules. Let's better create a separate package (called boot-floppies-lc), and make boot-floppies suggest it. -- Misha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

What should I do ? For all Potato (and slink) official Debian boot-floppies on i386, it indeed does tell you the kernel version on the syslinux screen. The top of the screen should say "Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 2.2!" and near the bottom it will say: This disk uses Linux 2.2.17-compact (from kernel-image-2.2.17-compact_2.2.17-0.1) If you don't see that and you are on i386 then download new floppies, because you have major problems there and aren't running anything that came from us. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

compact flavor definately messed
I'm having two problems on the compact flavor 2.2.18 i386, using the kernel/pcmcia for 2.2.17 (not the pre versions, the pcmcia from potato and the rejected kernel-image-2.2.17* packages). Since potato kernel situation is now in a very bad state also, it seems that we're damned in any way, and I'm blocked from releasing boot-floppies like this or even testing it very thoroughly.

I can see that your approach to hardware detection is best at least in the short term. I would still like to be able to avoid depending on /proc (which libdetect uses), but thats probably not very important to the installer.

Re: hardware detection using libpci
Hi, I made a new version of ddetect with a few changes, even if we don't go the libdetect way it was instructive to figure out how to make multiple .udebs conviennently. I'm now generating 2 udebs which each provide the virtual package [sound|ethernet]-card-detection: snddetect_0.0.5_i386.udeb ethdetect_0.0.5_i386.udeb Assumption: We want udebs to be small. Therefore they shouldn't contain anything more than the bare minimum to accomplish their function. This is against policy (no manpage, copyright, etc.).

The password file is only needed to allow pserver access for people _without_ system accounts. The need for the: annonymous:: syntax (which is used exclusively at the moment in the boot-floppies CVSROOT/passwd file) is only for the case when the user being granted access does not have a system account. For example, (I'll pick on tausq since he is in the boot-floppies passwd file) for tausq, there is an entry in passwd, which is being mapped to aph. But tausq has an account on the system. So if tausq commits something using pserver, it will appear that aph committed the change.

Well, I already have an install.sh script. If I provide the busybox.links file that is generated at compile time then this would work just fine.

retitle 77040 [ppc] cannot boot from CD or new system thanks I am not a Powerpc porter so I can't be sure. Anyhow, I can only hope that the bugs are fixed as of the next version of boot-floppies, which apparently integrates some yaboot fixes. You should give more information on what the kernel says when trying to boot. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's kinda hard to control this variable since apps and such are starting from init at boot.

Well, I was thinking you could provide a little shell script like mklinks.sh which made the links from /usr/bin into /usr/lib/busybox (iff the exe in /usr/bin isn't already there). -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bootdisk-O-matic
Hello, What about the following idea: When someone want to install Debian he looks at the debian.org site. There he finds a small programm (for the architecture/OS he wants) that will alow him to create a bootdisk to boot it's computer with: that bootdisk will contain autodetection stuff only and will create a list of (e.g) kernel modules needed for the install (and why not this detection floppy will also find the Xserver needed the soundcard etc.). This list is saved on the floppy itself. Then he runs the small programm again that will read on the floppy the hardware list and sent it to the Bootdisk-O-matic site at debian.org. The Bootdisk-O-matic then create a custom bootdisk image with only the drivers (kernel modules) needed to install the computer (and the hardware list already on it: no need to recreate it). The custom bootdisk will then be available for download and the computer can be install with just booting on this custom floppy. I think bout that because I do have a special hardware detection bootdisk that allow me only to probe a new computer for hardware (before trying to blindly install Debian on it). Then I make custom kernel to install this computer with replicator. The point is that it's easy to put only detection stuffs on one floppy. And we can even imagine that the custom bootdisk can be customized online to choose the deb sources, the disk partitioning etc. I feel I already read this kind of proposal somewhere (maybe here) but I don't remember any answer.

I don't have cvs privelages (Joey indicated he'd set that up for me if I behaved :-) ) so I'll have to direct you to my web page to take a look at what I have. My feeling is this: I think libdetect is the way to go, but I'll defer to Glenn's judgement on this issue since someone needs to decide. If after looking at the libdetect way he wants to go libpci, I vote libpci also, this isn't a big deal. If we decide we want to go the uC-libc route: I built libdetect and linked it successfully with uC-libc. I encountered some problems when exercising the whole library which I haven't had time to look into, but for the ethernet card detection it worked fine. The setup for linking with uc-libc is rather sloppy at the moment as I don't know where (if anywhere) uC-libc should live on a system (i.e. should there be a /usr/include/uC/ and a /usr/lib/uClib.a ?) and also I needed some local modification to make it work (I have sent the mods to uc-libc's author, Erik Anderson) I think the real pro of libdetect is that we will be able to use to same library to detect _anything_. To demonstrate I cooked up 'snddetect', it detects sound cards. It is very easy to write a tiny program with libdetect that detects any sort of hardware one would want to detect. I included report.c from libdetect in my tar ball. report.c shows all the things that libdetect knows about (cdrom, tape, tvcard, modem, scanner, webcam, joystick etc. (see report.c for the full list)) Most recent version of 'ddetect', now two detection utilities can be found at: http://www.gordian.com/users/davidw/debian.html -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
