Installation problem with ATI 128 video card

2001-08-28 Thread Bernard BREMOND

Hello

I recently tried to install the potato distribution from the set of CD.
Unfortunately it happens that I own an ATI Rage 128 video card, which
was not detected by the installation program. Therefore I currently can
only run text mode. I had already experienced this problem with a RedHat
6.0 distribution, and it had only been solved by the fitting X server
that I could find in a magazine. I'm afraid I am not fluent enought in
Debian APT packaging system, to install the good things in X environment
and then just replace one file by my server. Too bad... Well, instead of
this track, I tried to follow another one, based on the frame-buffering
: and there is an option relative to ATI 128 card !!! You can easily
imagine my happyness... until it appeared that the kernel compilation
had failed, because of a missing soucrce... which was precisely the one
called aty128.c :)

Do you think ther can be a solution to my problem ? or must I throw my
video card away :(

Thanks by advance

can't detect NIC

2001-08-28 Thread Susan G. Kleinmann

I'm tyring to install the i386 disks from 'testing' on a Toshiba 1805-S203,
to which I've added a Linksys Combo ethernet card.

When I select the menu item to configure the PCMCIA card(s), I choose
the i82365 card type option.  At that point, the system seems to detect
the Linksys card: i.e., it beeps twice, and the link light on the media
coupler turns on.

Next, I try to configure the network.  However, at this point, I get
the message no network interfaces were found.

When I execute a shell and look at the modules that were loaded when
I configured the PCMCIA cards, I notice that they include axnet_cs
and af_packet.  Both of these are marked as (unused).  On other laptops,
I've used the pcnet_cs modules to drive the Linksys card. 

If I simply remove the axnet_cs module and those it depends on
   modprobe -r pcmcia_core
and then install pcnet_cs 
   modprobe pcnet_cs
the link light stays on, but the configure-the-network dialog still 
reports no network interfaces.

I guess that somehow the system doesn't know that eth0 should be
identified with the pcnet_cs driver.  How can I tell it?
Or is there some other way to get the system to recognize the NIC?

Susan Kleinmann

you didn't mention which flavour (if any) you were using.

 I guess that somehow the system doesn't know that eth0 should be
 identified with the pcnet_cs driver.  How can I tell it?

i found something similar with my Xircom CreditCard Ethernet CE3B-100BTX
card - some versions (3.1.28) of pcmcia-card-services detect it as a
memory card.

however, i found that compiling the 3.1.22 modules, and using it with
the 3.1.28 cardmgr (as is found on bf-3.0.13 and greater) provides
satisfactory results.

to gain even more feedback as to what is going on, either start a shell,
or go over to VC2 and start the shell there, and check the output of
dmesg.

Re: discover override disparity

 There are disparities between your recently installed upload and the

 Either the package or the override file is incorrect.  If you think
 the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package
 so that this disparity is fixed in the next upload.  If you feel the
 override is incorrect then please reply to this mail and explain why.

Please put discover back into admin until and unless the boot-floppies
guys decide it's essential for the installer.

debian-boot folks, do you guys have an opinion?

Re: Problem during installation

2001-08-28 Thread Chris Tillman


 Hi, I had chosen Debian as my new OSbut I cant install it...I have a problem
 in the step of ``Instalar el núcleo del sistema operativo y los módulos'' (i
 think is Install OS Kernel and packages) well, the thing is that when I
 put the CD nº1 it asks for the rescue floppy (¿?)and if I put CD nº2 it ask
 for a filr rescue.bin,when i manually select the location of file, it turns
 be be nothing in there...
 Well, more details of the situation are: HD is the secondary master of 3.2Gb
 with a linux native partition of 2.5Gb and a swap one of 700Mb, and I boot
 the system fron the CD nº1...
 Please HELP ME!!
 (by the way, I worked for about a year in an ISP and costumers say Debian is
 the most efficient linux for networking...congratulations!)

 OK, sorry as you can see I am so new in
 this...Is the 2.2.r3 version over an i386 architecture (is a k6-2
 500Mhz)there are 3 cds...



Sorry I don't have much of a clue. That's good you're using the latest
release version. For i386, there are 4 different flavors (check out the
install documentation in the disks-i386/doc folder). It may be you would
have better luck trying the idepci flavor, if you were trying plain vanilla.

When it is looking for the rescue floppy, it's really looking for
rescue.bin, the rescue floppy image. It's actually asking you to identify
which flavor you want by pointing it to a rescue.bin within the right flavor
directory.
