How to get rid of sungem at boot time?
Hi All 2.6.12, TitaniumIV, unstable. This Debian boot system seems to be obsessed to find my ethernet crap at boot time: I want to load my airport drivers, and only those, at boot time, and not the ethernet crap, and I set /etc/network/interfaces accordingly: Excerpt: __ # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # wireless orinoco: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp pre-up /home/shorty/scripts/firewall.sh pre-up modprobe airport [ ... ] # START/STOP WEP DRIVERS: pre-up modprobe arc4 pre-up modprobe crc32c post-down rmmod arc4 post-down rmmod crc32c post-down rmmod libcrc32c # END WEP DRIVERS [ ... ] But nearly every reboot the system somehow loads these sungem(_phy) drivers, that, as far as I can see, are responsible for the mess following when the system is trying to load unsuccessfully eth0 (airport) according to the interfaces file above. Excerpt from /var/log/kern.log from, IINM, boot time, mentioning sungem: - try `ip1394' Oct 12 21:42:43 debby kernel: [ 48.217962] ohci1394: $Rev: 1250 $ Ben Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 12 21:42:43 debby kernel: [ 48.246573] ohci1394: fw-host0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 1000!

apt (intentionally?) brain dead?
Hi All Once upon, IIRC, there were times when apt did very intelligently automatically what I have to do now myself: When I tried to install a package, apt-get/aptitude calculated the dependencies on other packages for the one I wanted to install and then installed the whole bunch of packages necessary for the installation of the one i needed. It seems times have changed: Either apt/aptitude is braindead and on the brink of becoming unusable, or, alternatively, the Debian folks intentionally changed the software in a way where apt-get does not do any more what it did some time ago. In the latter case the bug (again: It's not a bug: I call it brain dead) would be an intentionally designed feature. Please look at this (for better readability I slightly edited the following): [root@ 19:04:02]# apt-get --simulate install gconf2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... 0% Building dependency tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gconf2: Depends: gconf2-common (= 2.10.1-6) but it is not going to be installed Conflicts: libgconf2-4 ( 2.10.1-3) but 2.10.1-1 is to be installed gnome-core: Depends: bug-buddy (= 2.10.0) but 2.8.0-3 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies.

I already completely removed discover to fix this: sungem is your built-in ethernet. It show up on the PCI bus, thus hotplug will automatically load the driver. Besides, it's a good thing anyway as the sungem driver will deal with power management of the chip even when you are not using it, for example, for sleep mode. It's just a wrong way of thinking that you should remove drivers for HW you do not use in fact :) The problem here is assuming any kind of stability of the ethX numbers. This can't work. Ever. You need some other ways of identifying your interfaces. I don't know if debian network configure scripts provide any such thing though. apt-get remove discover1-data discover1 libdiscover1 but to no avail so far ...

Just in case: No, sungem is not loaded via /etc/modules. Ah yes, nearly forgot that: Loading my airport card manually after booting works like charm, after unloading the airport etc./sungem(_phy) drivers. So it seems it's simply a lousy boot time set up being responsible for the mess airport isn't (yet) auto-detected by hotplug (soon). When that will happen, your airport driver will also be automagically loaded and there is no way to know which one will end up eth0 and which one will end up eth1. Again: My primary target is to get *sensibly* rid of sungem and sungem_phy being loaded at boot time. I'm sure if you put your machine on the floor, then jump on it several times until it splits in at least 3 or 4 pieces, sungem will no longer be loaded at boot time.
