Laoding any module of the menus gives me an unresolved symbol and permission denied and the mesage, that these are modules from kernel 2.2.19. I find that hard to believe.

However, we're really only working on testing (woody) now. There are a few modules that should not be built. Most should work. No I can't load any module, I checked it two times, nothing no ppp- module for example and many others... My question is, is it true, is the bootkernel from the disk 2.2.15 and the modules from 2.2.19 or is it an mistake of the greetingstext? The next one is, that I have unresolved symbols when I have a clearly installed debian-sparc and tried depmod -a at five modules. :( I do have only the sparc but no cd-rom, it's was borrowed from a friend, so can't do fuerther test, I think, or they will take a while. there are other ways to install -- floppy, tftp, etc. Yep, the install docs cover all of them.

I changed the milo and harddrive a few times, but always bootet from harddisk. The ARCS Bios is very precise in what it wants and not very helpfull in telling whats wrong. It seems the files have to be in proper subdirs even though you specify the full path in the bios. So I don't know if one can even boot from floppy or cdrom.

Hi, me again. Why do most archs use msdos.o and only ia64 vfat.o? I did make a patch for this a long time ago to use vfat.o if present and fallback to msdos.o.

Alpha: aboot rescue disk
Hi, currently, the rescue disk for Alphas with SRM/aboot doesn't work because e2writeboot fails. The first problem is that e2writeboot doesn't return a nonzero status on failure so this will go unnotified; I've tried filing a bug about this but the BTS is down. It fails because the disk is too full; it needs a continuos empty area and can't find one. First, it might help to install it onto the empty disk, when finding a continuos area is not a problem. I'll look into that. Then I wonder if the sys_map.gz (77k) is actually needed, or was it put there just because it fits so nicely? There's already a special case for some arch's not to add it, can I just include Alpha? Falk P. S. the mklibs.sh libm trick didn't seem to work so everybody building boot disks for Alpha should try mklibs.py, which is in CVS now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
