Hi, Emanuele!

Sorry for the late reply -- I moved, switched jobs, started a new and
much better life... :-)

 Can you confirm that with a 2.6.16 kernel the problem is not
 reproducible? 

Yes, I can confirm that. linux-image-2.6.16-2-sparc64 worked well and
without the video=atyfb:off boot parameter.

 Does the machine completely fail to boot if you don't pass
 video=atyfb:off to the kernel? (ie: are you able to login somehow, for
 instance via ssh?).

Yes, it hangs very early in the boot process after the messages:
Remapping the kernel... done.
Booting Linux...

No harddisk activity after that, no ssh, no ping echo, no nothing.

Greetings,
 - Thomas

Ok, thanks; I did, and xorg is working fine. You have to set

Option  ReferenceClock29.500MHz

in the Device section of your xorg.conf though (this seems known information).

Also, apart from video=atyfb:off I gave the kernel a ide=nodma parameter 
because it complained about DMA timeouts soon after booting. (This, too, seems 
a known issue. Line added to my silo.conf: append=video=atyfb:off ide=nodma)

Afterwards I installed hdparm and found that UDMA3 is the fastest mode in that 
the kernel does not complain (so far, at least). I made this permanent by 
setting
hdparm_opts=-d1 -X udma3
in /etc/default/hdparm.

Maybe this is useful to the next guy installing Etch (or some other post-2.6.16 
kernel) on a Blade 150 (or 100).

Thanks to everyone,
 - Thomas

 Since you are the only person who reported such a problem so far, I 
 feel that severity is a bit too high, so I'm dropping it to 
 'important' for now. 

Sure, whatever you feel is in order.

 Do you have more than one videocard in this machine? 

No, only the onboard ATI card:

atyfb: 3D RAGE XL (Mach64 GR, PCI-33) [0x4752 rev 0x27]
atyfb: 8M SDRAM (1:1), 29.498928 MHz XTAL, 235 MHz PLL, 83 Mhz MCLK, 63 MHz XCLK
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 144x56
atyfb: fb0: ATY Mach64 frame buffer device on PCI

(This is from dmesg when running 2.6.16-17.)

Thanks,

 Please try booting it with the boot parameter video=atyfb:off, i.e. 
 instead of just pressing enter at the silo boot prompt type 
 
 Linux video=atyfb:off

Yes, that works.

Does this have any drawbacks regarding the use of xorg? (I haven't yet 
installed that...)

Bug#394097: libapache2-mod-auth-pam: doesnt work with Apache 2.1

Hallo, Robbert!

Robbert Kouprie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Please try adding AuthBasicAuthoritative Off to your configuration.
 
 My complete config is:
 
 Directory /var/www/protected
AuthType Basic
AuthName Please login
AuthPAM_Enabled on
AuthPAM_FallThrough off
AuthBasicAuthoritative off
require valid-user
 /Directory

Does not work for me. I get:

[Wed Nov 08 12:34:20 2006] [error] [client 192.168.250.2] No Authn provider 
configured
[Wed Nov 08 12:34:20 2006] [crit] [client 192.168.250.2] configuration error:  
couldn't check access.  No groups file?: /

As I understand the documentation this is the expected behaviour, as 
libapache2-auth-pam does not include an Apache2.2-style authn provider.

I only wonder how you still have it working... :-)

Mit schönem Gruß

 This did not work out of the box for me when I upgraded to apache2 
 2.2.3-3. After some trial and errors -- apache2 error messages did 
 not ring any bell -- it occurred that for auth_pam with Require 
 valid-user to work, the auth_basic and authz_user modules have to 
 be enabled.

Thanks, enabling the authz_user module together with AuthBasicAuthoritative 
off works.

I still think this is a workaround though (as I still get No Authn provider 
configured warnings)
and not a proper solution -- which would be a libapache2-authn-pam package, 
IMHO.

Not only do I get those warnings but also Internal Server Errors where I should 
get authorization failures (when I specify invalid credentials)...

2006-11-04 Thread Thomas Köllmann
Package: libapache2-mod-auth-pam
Version: 1.1.1-6.1
Followup-For: Bug #394097


If you still have mod-auth-pam working, could you please provide
some information on how to configure it?

On Apache 2.0.x I had working:

AuthPAM_Enabled on
AuthType Basic
AuthName DSPAM Control Center
Require valid-user
Satisfy All

Now, on Apache 2.2.x, I have to specify an additional
AuthBasicProvider for AuthType Basic to work, right? What would
I use there for mod-auth-pam?

Bug#358681: dspam should not depend upon procmail

2006-03-23 Thread Thomas Köllmann
Package: dspam
Version: 3.6.4-2+b1
Severity: normal


dspam works perfectly with maildrop as MDA instead of procmail.

Please make the package depend on either procmail or maildrop, or
maybe make it depend on sensible-mda. Thanks.
