Re: Debian Sarge on oldworld Powermac?
On Fri, 2004-06-11 at 13:16, Ralf Schlatterbeck wrote: Hello, I recently inherited several (4) oldworld 7600 Powermacs, one of them 132MHz, the others 120. I have successfully installed woody on one of them using a boot floppy. The floppy booting is a *very* erroneous process, I was usually successful booting from a floppy only after 5-6 tries. In addition two of the macs have defective floppy drives and I don't want starting swapping drives. Also once the mac-OS is gone, the boot floppies don't seem to boot anymore? So this is not a viable option, especially since I don't have any mac-OS disks to restart a system that doesnt have mac-OS on the hard drive. So I think there must be a better way to boot these beasts into a d-i. I'd really like to contribute my experience with these machines back if I can get some pointers... Hi! Ralf, Try getting a floppy drive cleaning kit. (They may be available at your local office supply store if you can't find them at a computer supply store. You may have to try a couple of places because they are no longer big-selling items and a lot of places have dropped them from inventory.) The business part of a drive cleaning kit looks like a 3.3-inch floppy but it has a soft fiber disk inside rather than one made of oxide coated mylar. They usually have a bottle of cleaning fluid that you're supposed to put a few drops of on the fiber disk before running the cleaning procedure. Don't be afraid to use it two or three times on an old floppy drive that is badly gummed up with dust and crud. You'll see a marvelous improvement in the error rate in the boot-from-floppy process. The best way I've found to boot OldWorld Macs is with BootX, a little program that runs under MacOS and loads a Linux kernel and (optionally) a compressed initial-ram-disk image, then passes control to the kernel. It's available from Ben Herrenschmidt, the author, at http://penguinppc.org/~benh/BootX_1.2.2.sit It requires that you have MacOS installed as the primary boot system, but you can get away with significantly less than 100 MB of disk dedicated to this if you use MacOS 7.5.3, which is available for free download from Apple at http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.5_Version_7.5.3/ All 19 floppy images of it! An alternative URL for this is: http://igsi.tripod.com/mac/index753.htm Enjoy! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, loading ide-detect first solves the problem. but then it fails with all the other ide-modules. I tried with another machine, that works withuopt problem. I loaded ide-detect first, and then only the driver that fitted the chipset was loaded. Is it possible to change so that ide-detect is loaded first, and then load the ide-chipset drivers afterwards ? but then it should fail silently when loading the ide-modules fails. The ide chipset modules have to be loaded before ide-detect to take effect, I belive. And they're needed on some machines to access the drive without it hanging. Loading it first works around your problem, but it not a solution. Like I said, you need to do a binary search and work out which ide chipset module is at fault; which I guess will take a fair bit of rebooting. I found the bastard :) It's the triflex driver. loading everything else except the triflex solves the problem. My next question is, would it be possible to do a lspci , and by default only load the drivers that are found (like it does on scsi), and then if things still fails, load the others. leaving out triflex from beeing autoloaded will sure hurt some people. -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#253999: discover1: bad module locks system: discover just tries again at reboot
Package: discover1 Version: 1.5-9 Severity: minor Not sure if this has been fixed (apparently Im a version or 3 behind, but I couldnt find the latest one at my local mirror yet). The BTTV driver locks the system good and proper if loaded as the driver for the BT878 based Twinhan Visionplus cards. Unfortunately, discover doesn't notice the hard lock, and upon rebooting, BTTV is loaded and locks the system again. The problem is that the cards do have the same vendor and device numbers as real BTTV cards, so the module matches but without options, dies. I dont know what currently happens in this prog (Im not a big coder), but I think what needs to be done, is have discover write to a file somewhere *before* attempting to load any module, and then also record it's success after. It either doesnt do this at the moment, or default conditions may put it running on a read-only filesystem (I havent looked at this yet). I have tried puting skip bttv in the discover.conf but it didnt seem to work. Probably a case of me puting things in the wrong place (or a typo caused by this dodgy old keyboard I've been forced back to using). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU Versions of packages discover1 depends on: ii dash0.4.26 The Debian Almquist Shell ii debconf 1.4.25 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdiscover11.5-9hardware identification library -- debconf information: discover/manage_cdrom_devices: true discover/cdrom_base_mountpoint: / discover/cdrom_base_mountpoint_error: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi,
the kernel + initrd generated by D-I is far to big for a floppy and
there is probably noone that has neither cdrom nor netboot for a amd64.
I would say floppy support for amd64 is not worth the time needed to make
it happen and then we don#t need busybox-cvs-floppy-udeb.
Closing on Bastian Blanks request.

These irrelevant umount messages do not cause the problem. base-installer is reporting earlier errors, and we always have to ask people to go and look further back in the log rather than just giving us the last couple of lines. If the umount failures were a problem, then you'd only see the first one before it fell over, not all three.

It's another problem. Just after the first reboot after the installation keys like 'é' are displayed correctly but if you boot again 'é' are displayed 'õ' Same problem for all special characters. Seems that a script is played at the first reboot but not for the others reboot. But it must be something more ##!## because only kernel 2.6 is affected by this. 3) during the first reboot after installation a check forced is done for not cleanly unmounted partition and you have to reboot after the check. ok after the check so not to serious (problem only with etx2, reiserfs is ok) These problems are easy to reproduce at least on beta 4 and on snapshot 20040610.

Bug#250677: more info needed
Finn-Arne Johansen wrote: I found the bastard :) It's the triflex driver. loading everything else except the triflex solves the problem. My next question is, would it be possible to do a lspci , and by default only load the drivers that are found (like it does on scsi), and then if things still fails, load the others. leaving out triflex from beeing autoloaded will sure hurt some people. I don't know if lspci has enough info to tell what ide chipset drivers are needed, or not. The failure modes if they're loaded are generally things like disk read/write errors or hangs though, and the inability to load more of them after the ide-probe module is loaded makes it harder too. Especially because you seem to have a triflex controller.. Of course maybe the triflex driver is not needed to avoid problems like thse I described, and only turns on DMA or something else, and does a bad job of it. If so we could just skip it. One other problem is that AFAIK the standard debian initrd (in sarge, maybe you're doing skolelinux/woody stuff though) loads all of these drivers unconditionally, just like d-i does, so even if it's fixed in d-i the installed system may be unable to boot. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#254035: installation-reports: Partitioning - need option to skip it and just choose existing partitions
Package: installation-reports Severity: important -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C This is based on Test Candidate 1 for the i386 Sarge installer. The iso file was downloaded 6/12/04 Here's the issue. I use a 3rd party program to partition my disks (Bootit NG), and wish to completely skip the Debian partitioning step, and just move on to simply selecting and formatting existing partitions for root, swap etc. With the old installer I was always able to do this with no problem. With the new installer, I can't find a way to do the following (as an example): 1) Leave my partition table(s) completely alone - don't touch them 2) Format /dev/hda3 and use it as root partition 3) Format /dev/hda5 and use it as the swap partition 4) Continue with installation I tried manual partitioning and both expert and normal modes. It always comes down to complaining that no root partition has been designated. I'd be happy to designate it, but I can't find where to do it. And it won't let me get past the partitioning step without it. What is need is a menu choice right up front as follows: Skip partitioning and designate existing partitions to use. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The above hint should take effect with tomorrow's britney run, with the effect that the 2.6.6 kernel-image packages for i386 will be removed from sarge at dinstall on the 14th, and will be held out pending resolution of this RC bug. Ok, we'll have to rebuild the netinst CDs to take advantage of it. I'm leaning toward calling that tc2 and fixing the sparc64 issue at the same time. Are there any RC issues with the 2.6.5 kernels that warrant keeping a close watch on this issue going forward? Are there other architectures that would be affected by this bug? 2.6.5 seemed good when d-i was using it. Unlike 2.6.3, it doesn't crash on boot after the initial install. Of course it probably has lots of problems, and 2.6.6 probably fixes lots of problems, adds better SATA support etc. You just can't win.

Tell it to format the partition and mount it as root. Repeat for other partitions. The text at the top of the partition table even tells you that you can do this: This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points.

The iso file was downloaded 6/12/04 Here's the issue. I use a 3rd party program to partition my disks (Bootit NG), and wish to completely skip the Debian partitioning step, and just move on to simply selecting and formatting existing partitions for root, swap etc. With the old installer I was always able to do this with no problem. With the new installer, I can't find a way to do the following (as an example): 1) Leave my partition table(s) completely alone - don't touch them 2) Format /dev/hda3 and use it as root partition 3) Format /dev/hda5 and use it as the swap partition 4) Continue with installation I tried manual partitioning and both expert and normal modes. It always comes down to complaining that no root partition has been designated. I'd be happy to designate it, but I can't find where to do it. And it won't let me get past the partitioning step without it.

Sarge Test Candidate 1 broke WinXP on my triple-boot i386
Until last night I had an i386 triple-boot system with Win98, WinXP, and Mandrake. LILO in the MBR would boot either Linux or the NT boot loader (which LILO labeled Windows), which lived in the first partition I believe. The NT boot loader would then boot either Win98, in the FAT32 first partition (C:), or WinXP, in the NTFS second partition (D:). Last night I installed Debian sarge Test Candidate 1 net installer. Everything seemed to go fine. I deleted the Mandrake partitions and allowed the installer to automatically create the Debian partitions in the newly freed space. The GRUB install said I had one other OS, Windows NT/2000/XP, which I assume meant the NT boot loader in the first partition. When the system rebooted I did not immediately boot Debian to continue the install. Instead, I asked GRUB to boot Windows, which correctly booted the NT boot loader. When I asked the NT boot loader to boot WinXP, however, XP errored out with a message saying that Windows root\system32\hal.dll was missing or corrupt. (Oddly, Win98 still boots fine from the NT boot loader.) I find it hard to believe that the Debian installer really did trash my system32\hal.dll file. In fact, I used the XP install disk's recovery console (i.e. DOS) to look for the file, and it's still there. The XP partition (D:, NTFS) as a whole looks just fine. Another possibility is that the NT boot loader was damaged and it's now looking in the wrong place for XP. But why does it still boot Win98, then? Very odd. And very annoying, because the only way I know to fix it is to reinstall XP, after first copying everything I care about from the XP partition to the Win98 partition using DOS. I suspect that all I really need to do is repair the NT boot loader, but I have no idea how. Further, my efforts at repairing XP have somehow removed GRUB, so the system now boots straight to the NT boot loader, so even if I fix XP, I'll need to reinstall Debian, which will presumably nuke XP again! Any help very much appreciated. Franz Amador [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The installation should remind users to set the appropriate PROM
variables after rebooting. Otherwise, they could easily get stuck with
an unbootable system.
The following patch should do the trick. Since the PROM needs SCSI
bus/ID/LUN identifiers, some /proc parsing is required. That section
has been tested and works properly, but the debconf call is broken in
some way that I hope is obvious to others. (My debconf knowledge is,
uh, minimal.)

Re: Debian Sarge on oldworld Powermac?
On Fri, Jun 11, 2004 at 07:16:08PM +0200, Ralf Schlatterbeck wrote: The floppy booting is a *very* erroneous process, I was usually successful booting from a floppy only after 5-6 tries. The floppy driver in OF 1.0.5 doesn't have very good error handling. It chokes on the slightest errors, even if the MacOS can read every bit. One thing that sometimes helps is to only use freshly formatted floppies. Also once the mac-OS is gone, the boot floppies don't seem to boot anymore? So this is not a viable option, especially since I don't have any mac-OS disks to restart a system that doesnt have mac-OS on the hard drive. The problem here is that once you setup quik (bootloader) in Linux, it changes to OF config to boot directly from the hard drive, which prevents it from doing the normal search for bootable devices. The problem is that the search is actually done by the Apple ROM (/AAPL,ROM in OF), which is the default boot device. They didn't fix this until the version of OF found in newworld models. What I've achieved so far: - Booting into open firmware prompt with a serial line The 7600 actually supports doing OF on the internal video and ADB keyboard fairly well. However, it's likely to start up in some unusual video settings, so you need a good monitor. Just set the input-device to 'kbd' and the output-device to '/chaos/control'. - Booting a self-compiled kernel off my internal network using bootp. I've probably set up everything correctly on the server side (I've successfully done a woody network install with an X86 based IBM X31 laptop with a similar server-side dhcp/tftpd setup) but the open firmware won't start the kernel. According to messages it initializes text and data segment but fails on bss. Looks like the BSD people are able to boot oldworld via network, I'd really like to do this with linux, too. Note that a COFF instead of ELF kernel is needed for this to work. This used to work. In fact, network booting worked before hard drives. My questions: - What magic incantations are needed for making open firmware 1.0.5 boot a linux image across the network? I seem to recall that it was pretty picky about the bootp server. Of course, you also need a COFF image. The netbsd folks have some pretty good info about network boots. Take a look at some of the boot related sections of http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html for more details, including things like some of the syntax quirks of older models (and the 7600 is one of the oldest with OF). Just remember that you'll want vmlinux.coff anywhere they talk about ofwboot.xcf. - What magic incantation do I need for building a kernel (or are there pre-built COFF Kernels available for Debian sarge?) It used to just work. The kernel build process can build a vmlinux.coff, though from the complaints I've seen on some of the lists recently, I wouldn't be surprised if that got broken. It doesn't get used much. - Or is there some magic for booting from CDROM with open firmware 1.0.5? I don't think OF 1.0.5 is capable of booting directly from a CDROM. I never saw any evidence of it, and I'm sure someone would have gotten it to work if it was possible. The way to boot Linux from a CDROM on an oldworld Mac is with miboot, which is also what the Debian boot floppies use (I think). The image with miboot looks like a normal copy of MacOS to the ROM, but it then proceeds to load a Linux kernel and boot it. The only problem is that while you only need an HFS filesystem with miboot for a floppy, you need drivers to write to the CDROM with miboot in order to make a bootable CD. Commercial Linux vendors use a commercial driver (available with Toast and other similar products), but we can't do that. There is enough information available from Apple to write an open source driver, but since this would be about the only use of it, noone has done it. - Pointers to additional sources of information welcome. Well, the netbsd.org page has a lot more info about OF on these old boxes than any Linux page. If you search on Apple's developer site, there is a reasonable amount of info about OF and some of the older boot methods, but I'm not sure how helpful that would be. I'm not sure if it goes back far enough, but you may find something useful in the old linuxppc mailing list archives. Take a look at http://lists.linuxppc.org/ for that. If you can find a decent archive of the old linux-pmac list, that would be old enough to go back to when everyone had to deal with this crap, because bootx and miboot didn't exist yet, and there was only OF 1.0.5 in PCI powermacs.

Bug#254054: Patch for the x86 architecture
Hi, I'm sorry that I did not see it before sending the bug report... Obviously, it simply a matter to modify the /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/ in the intird file system in such a way that the libdb4.2 package is installed. I only modified the sarge script in the above directory, and only added the needed package to the list for the 386 architecture. That because I have no way to try other release and/or architectures. You'll find the patch for the /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/sarge script attached to this mail.

Bug#248627: Debian Installer version 4 - Installation report
I've done some further testing according to your suggestions and it was successful. With the images I tested when I sent my last update (latest version was from May 26th 2004) even an ifup/ifdown didn't solve the issue with the Xircom REM56G-100 and an /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart also didn't solve it. The card uses the correct module according to the pcmcia for linux project website. It is the xirc2ps_cs. In /var/log/syslog I could find five DHCPDISCOVER messages and then the entry No DHCPOFFERS received and No working leases in persistent database. (When I boot with a current Knoppix version on the same machine I get an IP-address, so the DHCP server is working fine). I've added the syslog extract below.

I dont either, but I'm thinking maybe it would be a better approach to preload the needed, and if that fails, give the user a choice of loading the needed herself. I know a lot of people would have given up the process I went through. The reason i continued, was that i found that it worked with woody, but I rely needed a thin-client server in my Skolelinux test lab. Especially because you seem to have a triflex controller.. Of course maybe the triflex driver is not needed to avoid problems like thse I described, and only turns on DMA or something else, and does a bad job of it. If so we could just skip it. Yes I have a triflex controller. But the triflex module is not listed in the modules.pcimap. SO meybe we should leave the triflex out ? One other problem is that AFAIK the standard debian initrd (in sarge, maybe you're doing skolelinux/woody stuff though) loads all of these drivers unconditionally, just like d-i does, so even if it's fixed in d-i the installed system may be unable to boot. I'll test a sarge CD on the box later. I think I did an upgrade on the box the other week, but maybe i didn't make a new initrd. BUt the initrd from skolelinux loads the module. I have not tested if it works with the module loaded. I'll check download 686-smp, and restart and check . -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#254073: tc1 fail on hppa
* Kyle McMartin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-06-12 15:37]: Everything worked fine until installing the base system. It attempted to install kernel-image-2.4.26-64-smp, which is a parisc64 kernel. This resulted in depmod failing, and hence, the install failing. The correct kernel to have installed on this machine would have been 2.4.26-32-smp. Did it show you a list of kernels to install or just install one without asking? Do you have the syslog file from the installation? -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I was loading lvm-config. Without lvm-config, it worked fine. The issue of hanging at 56% during Starting up the partitioner. Please wait after vg lv creation is still an open issue. I have not been able to determine why it sometimes hangs and other times it does not. Bottom line: We now have a successful install with lvm, and have successfully resized varlv /var, a ReiserFS, without umounting the filesystem. I am pleased.

Bug#254035: installation-reports: Partitioning - need option toskip it and just choose existing partitions
Joey Hess wrote: Tom Pfeifer wrote: With the new installer, I can't find a way to do the following (as an example): 1) Leave my partition table(s) completely alone - don't touch them 2) Format /dev/hda3 and use it as root partition 3) Format /dev/hda5 and use it as the swap partition 4) Continue with installation I tried manual partitioning and both expert and normal modes. It always comes down to complaining that no root partition has been designated. I'd be happy to designate it, but I can't find where to do it. And it won't let me get past the partitioning step without it. I don't understand your confusion. When you get to the partition table, select the partition you want to use for your root partition. Tell it to format the partition and mount it as root. Repeat for other partitions. The text at the top of the partition table even tells you that you can do this: This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. Select a partition to modify its settings (file system, ^^^ mount point, etc.), a free space to create partitions, or a device to ^^^ initialise its partition table. Did you read that text? Yes I read that text, and I can tell you now exactly what confused me. When you choose to format a partition as the usage method, the menu item to select a mount point does not appear at all until *after* you choose a file system. Maybe that seems logical to everyone else, but it wasn't to me. I was looking for the mount point choice up front. But if that was somehow more clear, this bug report wouldn't have happened. I just missed it. FWIW, the rest of the install went smoothly. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Trying to installing an old mac68k
Hi! As some of you know, I was trying to install a Macintosh LC III yesterday. Some specs of this machine: CPU: 68030 FPU: 68882 Ram: 12Mb Now, I know the installer requires a minimum of 24Mb/32Mb, but I was still willing to find out how far I could get with it. I installed Penguin 19, so that I could boot Debian from inside MacOS, and then booted the daily image kernel (2.2.something). It booted alright, but had problems with the RAMDisk. For starters, it was too big (13Mb) so it would never fit into the 12Mb of the machine. We tried resizing the filesystem, passing the ramdisk size as a parameter for the kernel, OR the mem size, but we always got the same error. It's an OOPS. I have the screenshot on a digital camera. These are the lines I copied from the screen: Data write fault at 0x00AFF000 in Super Data (pc=0x214FC) Bad Kernel BUSERR (...) Process Swapper (pid=1, stackpage=001bf000) (...) If it's worth, I can post the screenshot. Ok, now, is there a chance that debian-installer might work on this? :) Love, Marga. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This basically says the kernel tried to write somwhere beyond the end of the physical RAM (I guess when expanding the initrd), which triggered the swapper process, which in turn fails because it can only map userspace memory pages. If it's worth, I can post the screenshot. Ok, now, is there a chance that debian-installer might work on this? :) I doubt it. The ramdisk would have to be substantially smaller in order to leave enough RAM for the userland processes. The minimum configuration which was reported to work so far was 16 MB, with removing much stuff in the ramdisk manually while the install was running.

Re: Debian Sarge on oldworld Powermac?

[...] Don't be afraid to use it two or three times on an old floppy drive that is badly gummed up with dust and crud. You'll see a marvelous improvement in the error rate in the boot-from-floppy process. Thanks for the Tip. I have found out now, that swapping drives is really easy. One of the four drives is in better shape than the others and I can get a more-or-less reliable boot with them. Now another problem surfaces: The hard-disk drive is only found sometimes when booting woody from floppy. With MacOS there is no problem. Anybody seen this, is a cure available? Maybe the disk is not spun up? I have not tried the sarge installer yet. The best way I've found to boot OldWorld Macs is with BootX, a little I already mentioned, that MacOS is not an option. I want to donate the whole disk to Linux and I'm unsure about the licensing: I inherited these boxes with a MacOs 8.6 installed but I don't have any boot-disks. So I want a Linux-only solution...
