Re: compile kernel 2.0.35 on Sparc?
Hi again... :-) Thank you very much for your reply. :-) > PS.: If you got problems with the 2.2.9 kernel mail again and I'll explain > how to compile a 2.0.35 kernel for Sparc. Well... I recently tried 2.2.10 and it was fine. BUT: I've to set up a diskless client here, that gets everything via NFS (from a Solaris server). Unfortunately, the nfsswap-patch seems not to get along with 2.2.10, so I wanted to give 2.0.35 a try... Or did you manage to get swap over NFS working with 2.2.10, which would be great, of course...? So... Waiting for your reply... :-))) -- cya ANDI

I recommend to try this one ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-sparc/base/kernel-image-2.2.9_2.2.9-2.deb It's in unstable but works pretty well (most of the Debian sparc developers run it).

compile kernel 2.0.35 on Sparc?
Hi, can everybody tell me how to compile kernel 2.0.35 on Sparc? I've Debian running here and have to compile my own kernel. "xconfig" was ok, but compiling fails with /usr/local/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h: In function `expand_stack': In file included from init/main.c:33: /usr/local/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:327: `RLIMIT_AS' undeclared (first use t his function) make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/linux' make: *** [build] Error 2 I go the kernel sources from kernel.org.

Good call. Stopping nscd fixed apt's problems. (I also noticed sendmail
wasn't running, whoops..)
Disabling nscd's hosts cache in /etc/nscd allowed apt and sendmail to
function normally while nscd is running.
Should this be reported as a nscd bug?
Thanks guys, for the assistance!
Michael.

Nope, that's just cool - can you get gdb hooked on that FTP process? That
might require some dark magic.. Bus Errors are bad news :>

Okay, from one of the child processes:

Do you want a copy of the trace?

Nope, that's harmless, look at the very end, the last couple lines of the
traces that contain exec(".../ftp") type lines

Bear with me here, I haven't done much C/Linux debugging before, but
this looks like the problem:
[snip]
ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B9600 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
I don't have gdb handy, but I'll get it and have a futher look if you
think it would help.

apt ftp method dying after upgrade
Hi there, I've just upgraded my SS5 to glibc 2.1.1 and kernel 2.2.10 from stock slink, I also upgraded apt to 0.3.6. During this process, apt has broken. Attempting to do an update or install produces the following error: E: Method ftp has died unexpectedly! It was Working Okay Before(tm) and network connectivity is also fine. I can ftp to the target mirror okay from the command line and as ususal, everything else appears to be working fine. Any suggestions? Thanks. Michael. -- ? Michael Gratton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] !
