Re: Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: multible partitions?
ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device ieee1394: sbp2: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048] What's missing here is crucial: there should be a SCSI device registered here, usually sda. Not having anything SCSI related here is odd. What happens in the kernel log when you try a mac-fdisk -l /dev/sda at this stage? Unluckily I just have cfdisk, fdisk and sfdisk, but not the mac-fdisk. The first mentioned ones do not produce any output. Install mac-fdisk (or parted) if you want to deal with Mac partitioned disks (that's what your disk is, right?). Did you unplug or power down the firewire disk in between? Yes, I tried resetting by unplugging, replugging and powering down several times. That might've unregistered any firewire scsi device registered in the first step. Repeat the whole procedure without powering down the firewire disk, and send the log by PM please. and found the first 'SCSI' device ever in the system. Which is odd, because the firewire sbp2 driver ought to have located your firewire disk before, making this one sdb. I checked USB stick and FW drive at the same time. When the stick is attached and mounted: fdisk -l /dev/sda shows the usb stick, fdisk -l /dev/sdb gives no output So the FW disk seems to be ignored completely. Seems like it. Might be interesting to see what usb-storage has to tell here - deregistering the sda1 disk perhaps. Or maybe it got automatically mounted and not hasn't been unmounted yet (check the output of 'mount' before unplugging it). Yes - here I unplugged the USB stick. What happens in the kernel log when the stick is unplugged? Are any partitions from the stick still mounted? What kernel version does this happen on? Any difference if you plug in the firewire disk _after_ the kernel has booted up? The kernel is 2.4.27. I noticed no diffenence Never tried firewire with a 2.4 kernel. I'd recommend switching to 2.6 instead. Another strange thing: I read cat /proc/partitions: with the FW disk and USB stick attached - and then removed the USB stick. There was no change in output at cat /proc/partitions - exactly the same values, which IMHO are correct for the stick and not for the disk: That is definitely not supposed to happen - unless the kernel still has partitions mounted from the stick, or other I/O ops pending. Again, check the 'mount' output. My (2.1.11) kernel removes the /proc/partition entries for the USB stick upon unplugging. The entries still being present means the kernel still has the stick registered, and subsequent I/O fails since it actually was removed. Either the device removal notification does not get through, or the kernel holds on to the device because there are still channels open on it. The mount table and the kernel log should have some clues there. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Sound in g4
With ALSA/Debian I have the issue that I have to add snd to /etc/modules manually. /etc/init.d/alsa won't do anything otherwise, as /proc/asound does not exist.

Help Installing on a Blue and White G3
Hi everybody, I have been a long time debian user and i recently decided to attempt to install sarge on an old Mac Blue and White G3. This so far it seems that i don't have the where-with-all to succede in doing this. I downloaded the PPC install discs and booted from those CDs but when i get to Yaboot it had some kind of error reading the yaboot.conf and whatever i try to boot the installer it fails. What exactly do i need to do to start the installer? I went over and over the install guide and can't figure out what is going wrong. -Jeff

Kuser reports that indeed I am a part of the admin and audio group, so I am guessing I did that right, please let me know if I did not. all you need to do is to 'adduser username group', and log in again. you can use 'groups' to list the groups you are part of, and a similar 'deluser username group' to remove a user from a group. on a desktop sarge install, it gives the following $ groups piem dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev except if you installed gnome or other packages (alsa?) after creating your user. then you will want to add yourself to the above groups. the 'plugdev' group is to have group-volume-manager automount your devices. the group 'src' is also useful to compile kernels in /usr/src as a user. and the 'adm' one sometimes, to read the syslogs. bye, piem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
