Re: Re: installing debian on IBM 43P-150 (CHRP)

2006-04-06 Thread Keith Grimm
Hello 
I have read you web page on the 43p-150 and the bc Cd for chrp. I have 2
7248-26 carolina's and a 7043-26 PReP boxes. Any chance you have spun a
bootable/installable debian cd that works on prep machines?

Thanks
Keith

Re: SMART issues (Was: Lost interrupt, page allocation failure, and kernel oops)

2006-04-06 Thread Kaspar Fischer

Hi everybody,

In the meantime, I have found the culprit for the problem: it
was indeed a hardware problem and the IDE connector cable (the
one between the harddrive and the IDE card) seems to be
defect. After replacing it, everything works fine!

I first thought, it was the RAM but this does not seem to
be the case as I can compile the Linux kernel fine, and this
repeatedly, etc.

I am very glad to have fixed the problem and would like to
thank you, the readers and in particular, Michael Schmitz,
Rick Thomas, and Ken Moffat, very much for their help. I
would not have been able to fix it alone.

And I learned to look at error messages more carefully: the
SMART error message about ICRC error (**interface** CRC
error) actually told me where to search for the error, but
it took some time till I understood.

Thanks,
Kaspar

 Hi! I've done some hard work, even if i think there's somthing strange..
that simple pointer initialization shouldn't do all this. But i
shouldn't have make mistakes. Hope this helps.

At least, i hope the attempt will be appreciated.

I see the same hang on my PowerBook 5,9 (17" G4 HR). Note that I don't

The patch has a bit too much changes behind it to do a simple revert.


Please add the later commit from Paulus on top of this one (ff2e6d7427...)
and try that one (may be necessary to apply the relevant part manually). 


I'm having a bit of trouble with reverting patches and adding new stuff 
on top, unfortunately. Git is quite new to me. I installed it so I could 
do a bisection to figure this out.

First result was bogus, not sure about the second one (this one) yet.



I've also seen mention of a new radeonfb - do you have a radeon or nvidia
machine?


This is an ATi-based machine, Mobility 9600 or 9700. Not sure of the 
exact number. As others have already tried, it doesn't seem to help to 
switch to OpenFirmware framebuffer. The machine will lock up anyway :/

Where did this piece move in the new code?

- /* Clear MSR:EE */
- mfmsr r7
- rlwinm r0,r7,0,17,15
- mtmsr r0
-
- /* Check current_thread_info()->flags */
- rlwinm r4,r1,0,0,18
- lwz r4,TI_FLAGS(r4)
- andi. r0,r4,_TIF_NEED_RESCHED
- beq 1f
- mtmsr r7 /* out of line this ? */
- blr
-1:

Maybe this code was added back somewhere else in another commit around the
same time... in that case your bisect result would be bogus.

I've tried one of the tools you reported on my Powerbook. All it does is
set the nvram volume parameter different from the master volume. Maybe it
does something different on the mini - I can send you a debug nvsetenv
binary that dumps the entire nvram to check that. Dumping /dev/nvram
and comparing the binary blobs directly should even show differences
in other places of the nvram (I see two regions that differ, one of these
can be assigned to the XPRAM chunk).

Re: Can't see yaboot after 10.4.6 update!

1:
The cumbersome solution:
You could try to chroot into your Linux system, and then run 'ybin -v'
again.

With slight modifications these instructions might still be helpful
for doing that:



2:
If the following works this will be much less hassle than the above
solution:

:
"Here a simple reset of the openfirmware (Command-Option-P-R a the
starting of the ibook) does the trick to start again yaboot after a
MacOS X reinstallation."

Re: Re: can't boot 2.6.17-rc1

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

A bisection between 2.6.16 and 2.6.17-rc1 (current GIT tree), which
took quite a few reboots, thinks this is the bad guy:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a0652fc9a28c3ef8cd59264bfcb089c44d1b0e06

I see the same hang on my PowerBook 5,9 (17" G4 HR). Note that I don't
run Debian, but I thought I'd help out.
The patch has a bit too much changes behind it to do a simple revert.
Please CC me on any message after this, I'm not subscribed.

Regards,
Tony.

Don't know about howtos - you could post the relevant compiler errors,
including details on compiler, binutils and kernel version. I've had to
fix a couple of issues related to gcc and as getting increasingly picky
about syntax. During the transition from ARCH=ppc to ARCH=powerpc there's
been fun to have, too.

Well, 2.6.17 not booting seems well established now. What you can do to
track down the cause is called 'git bisection'. Google should have a few
instructions on that.

Re: can't boot 2.6.17-rc1

2006-04-06 Thread Enrico Cataldi

Hi all. 
On my system the kernel hangs during console_init.
Since its configuration comes from an oldconfig and others manual  
check, it should be right.

Hope this helps.
