IIRC, kudzu's library is a lot larger than discover, so we'd need a
second floppy for i386, which would really suck.  I might remember
wrong, though.

boot problems with asus cuv266-d mainboard

2003-04-03 Thread kpn
Hello Linux-Support,

I have several problems to install Linux on my computer. I have tested 
the distributions
Debian Woody, Suse 8.1 and Knoppix 3.1 on my computer using any 
possibility of hardware
configuration.
Following I discribe all of my computer components:
motherboard:
ASUS CUV266-D DUAL Pentium III 1000 Mhz,
chipset VIA Appollo Pro266 North Bridge VIA VT8633 South Bridge VIA VT8233
memory:
512 MB DDR266
graphic card:
ASUS V8200 Pure GeForce 3
sound card:
Terratec DMX XFire 1024
controller card:
1. Promise Ultra100 TX2
2. HighPoint Rocket133
HDD:
1. 40 GB Seagate 340824A U100
2. 40 GB Seagate 340016A U133
3. 80 GB Maxtor 4R080L0  U133
Zip:
Iomega ZIP 250 MB
CD-Burner:
Sony CD-RW CRX175E2
DVD-ROM:
Pioneer DVD-116
screen:
EIZO F730, 19

Perhaps some hardware components are not supported by any of that 
distributions. I have
searched on many internet pages and hardware data bases to solve my 
problem, but I still did not
find any solution. I guess that my motherboard is not supported, because 
the tests with a
minimum hardware configuration (motherboard, graphic card, 1.HDD, 
CD-Burner, no other cards
or controller) fails also.

Following I discribe the problems:
Suse 8.1:
There was no problem to install Linux from the bootable CD, but the 
system was not able to
reboot from HDD after installation. It stops then it wants to detect my 
HDD or may be the
IDE-Controller of the motherboard. (sorry, that I'm not able to give 
concret information I'm a total
Linux-beginner and the Linux start up is very cryptical for me). I also 
tested several boot
parameters like nodma, failsafe ... but without any effect the system 
stops. But I'm able to boot
from CD to get access to the installed system as root in 
kde.(curious??!!??).

Debian Woody:
Here was also no problem to install Linux from bootable CD. The system 
reboots after installation
properly, but with some failure messages with grahic card and/or screen 
detection. But I was able
to get login as root so I started to find the problem in the system and 
a solution in the
documentation of Debian Woody. But I was not able to install or 
configure Xfree86 or any of the
windowmanager (xdm, gdm, kdm). So I got no GUI. That is the result of 
the installation with the
compact kernel. All installations of the other kernels failed.

Knoppix 3.1:
The bootable CD starts and shows me the boot promt to enter any 
parameters, but whether I do
so or not the system fades to black screen and stops, sometimes I see 
the Tux picture but
nevertheless the system stops.
  
Please give me any help.
Whether my components are supported by any of your mentioned 
distribution (or higher versions)
or any other distributions which I have not tested yet
or which components are not supported.
Please answer in german (preferential) or english.

Yours sincerely
André

 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to install with
 gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
 as of 01/04 on ia32.
 
 My ethernet card is detected correctly as RTL8139. The installer
 attempts to load rtl8139 module however there is no module rtl8139
 under /lib/modules (modprobe -v rtl8139, Can't locate module rtl8139).
 8139too should be used instead. 

 Yes, this is because discover 1.x doesn't support 2.4 kernels. This will
 be fixed when we migrate to discover 2.x.


Thanks for explanation. I've noticed that choosing the module from
list and loading it without autodetection works only for the net but
not for the cdrom install. Giving full path to the module fails too
(for the default boot arg).

The listing in Load installer modules is not paged properly or the
paging style is confusing. I could not list entries 1-6. I tried to
select them by number or navigate back and forth by letters n,b.
One line is skipped if Enter is pressed.

The real problem is when it comes to Install the base system (default)
nothing is installed - pressing Enter presents the same menu again. I
believe all previous items (language/net hardware/keyboard/DHCP
config/choosing mirror/CDROM/installer modules/partitioning/mounting
filesystems) were completed. Any idea how to proceed?
cheers

   a terminfo-udeb; if [something] spots TERM that is not supported, it
   should request a terminfo-udeb, and automatically fix it.
   
  
  Supporting other terminals  then ansi and vt100 can indeed be done in d-i.
  However IMHO it doesn't make sense.
  Most terminalprogramms can easy be configured to emulate an other terminal.
  Or when not, then take another terminal programm at the non d-i side.
  
 
 Yes, it can, but I gave it as an example; its cosmetic. (A better
 example of a real use was given, pulling in the right console fonts).
  
 If someone is installing debian remotely from an eg DECterm, they
 shouldnt have to change TERM=vt100, or whatever.  For the most part, how
 it would work, would be eg in the S390 case (*) (see other thread; on
 S390 there is no local console; you boot and then login via telnet).
 The user logs in via telnet, which passes the TERM value.
 if the TERM!={ansi,vt100,linux}, then terminfo-udeb is loaded, and the
 terminfo data installed, and installation continues more beautifully.
 
  Formatting screen output with terminfo data
  is an other kind of problem then a floppy disk image that has to provide
  an driver for the next driver such as harddisk driver or NIC driver.
  
 I can't parse this; do you mean its different than the driver loading
 problems; if so, yes, I agree; they are critical, this is cosmetic.

Yes, my worries are about critical items like driver loading.
These issues _must_ be solved at install target side.
Choosing a terminal screen protocol that both side understand,
is an issue that _can_ be solved at install target side.


I agree that missing functionality ( disk driver or screen formatting )
can be loaded in an universal way.


 
  So take a different approach to handle it.
Not so smart.

So give different priorities to handle them.

  
  
 
 (*) Actually, it may be useful in other cases too. See the netconsole
 project, that aims to provide an ethernet console (simple TCP/IP stack 
 telnet login) or, I believe the Axis Communications Linux SoCs, which
 provide an ethernet (telnet) login. In these cases, the telnet protocol
 would be used for remote installation, rather than a serial console; and
 so telnetd would be useful, and the terminfo issue would occur.
 

Yes, telnetd has benefits. I hope it stays in d-i

That's because it's my own personal rule of thumb. Stage0 starts when

it's Stage1. Stage2 starts after the reboot. So the patch doesn't

Bug#172828: mklibs : problem on mips

2003-04-03 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Hi,

I'm writing to you as the authors of mklibs

I'm trying to debug a problem on mips / mipsel, using mklibs to reduce
the debian-installer. (See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=172828 for details)

The bug manifests itself as a set of symbols, in libc.so.6 on mips, that
aren't resolved properly, causing the mklibs step to loop, failing to
resolve these symbols.

The symbols are:

Still need: _pthread_cleanup_pop_restore
Still need: __pthread_mutexattr_init
Still need: __pthread_mutexattr_destroy
Still need: __pthread_mutexattr_settype
Still need: __pthread_mutex_trylock
Still need: _pthread_cleanup_push_defer
Still need: __pthread_mutex_init 
Still need: __pthread_mutex_unlock
Still need: __pthread_mutex_lock

They are found in libc. Now, in i386, for example, they are of type:
eg. 
  NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  UND  _pthread_cleanup_pop_restore

But on MIPs, they are all:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib$ readelf -s -W libc.so.6 | grep  WEAK | grep UND |
grep FUNC
  2023:  0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
_pthread_cleanup_push_defer
  2024: 000146f0 0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
__pthread_mutexattr_init
  2053:  0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
__pthread_mutex_trylock
  2059:  0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
__pthread_mutex_unlock
  2085: 000146e0 0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
_pthread_cleanup_pop_restore
  2101:  0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND __pthread_mutex_init
  2118: 000146d0 0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
__pthread_mutexattr_settype
  2129:  0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND __pthread_mutex_lock
  2133: 000146c0 0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND
__pthread_mutexattr_destroy


I believe this means they are all weak objects, not normally marked as
such.  They will resolve to zero if not found elsewhere, but
undefined_symbols() in mklibs treats them simply as undefined.

Is my analysis correct? Can you provide a patch for mklibs ?
(I'm not confident enough either of my understanding or python to risk
doing it myself. )

This is needed to make the Debian installer build on MIPs and MIPSEL.

Thanks,
Alastair McKinstry

Bug#172828: mklibs : problem on mips

2003-04-03 Thread Falk Hueffner
Alastair McKinstry [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I'm writing to you as the authors of mklibs

Damn. Why does everybody think I know how mklibs works just because I
wrote it? ;) Seriously, I just stole most stuff from existing scripts,
I'm not really an expert on dynamic linking...

 They are found in libc. Now, in i386, for example, they are of type:
 eg. 
   NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  UND  _pthread_cleanup_pop_restore
 
 But on MIPs, they are all:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib$ readelf -s -W libc.so.6 | grep  WEAK | grep UND |
 grep FUNC
   2023:  0 FUNCWEAK   DEFAULT  UND  _pthread_cleanup_push_defer
 
 I believe this means they are all weak objects, not normally
 marked as such.  They will resolve to zero if not found elsewhere,
 but undefined_symbols() in mklibs treats them simply as undefined.

I am not quite sure about how to handle weak symbols properly. If they
are provided somewhere, we would usually want them to be used. So just
ignoring all weak symbols doesn't seem proper.

The best way seems to be to check whether the set of unresolved
symbols didn't change since the last pass, and if so, whether it
consists of only weak symbols. If so, just leave them undefined and
quit. Otherwise abort (better than looping infinitely). Does that
sound sensible?

I'm a bit short on time currently, I'll see whether I can make a patch
the next few days.

True, but since this is the go-to list as designated in the install
manual, it's cool to just refer people to debian-x, debian-user,
debian-kde as appropriate. It's always good for new users to learn
what great resources we have at lists.debian.org. People often don't
understand where the installer leaves off and the rest of Debian
begins, because we've made it a pretty smooth transition in the 
manual and with base-config.
