 SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

I get this on i386 using kernel 2.2.10 with Debian 2.1. There is a
slight incompatibility between Debian 2.1's network initialisation
scripts and the 2.2.x kernels. The error is harmless and may be
ignored, as far as I know, though it would be nice if the scripts
could be updated to not do this. (It can't be too hard to write a
script that works without errors with 2.0.x or 2.2.x, can it?)

Re: booting old sparc with floppy

1999-09-20 Thread Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS 
Eric Delaunay:

 It seems the sparc2 is too slow to handle both reading and decompressing on 
 the
 fly :-((
 
 This test was made with silo to 0.8.6.

Can anyone explain why the reading and decompressing of the floppy has
to be handled as a real-time task that fails when the processor is too
slow to keep up? Is this a bug in SILO? Can it be fixed?

This error was there since the first 2.2.x kernel, that is 6 month
ago, but no want seem to care. I have seen many updates of the net*
package but the error remains. Is potato is supposed to ship with
2.2.x kernel or 2.0.x is still the default ?

Re: X 3.3.5, please test these servers

I just tried the xsun24 server and it did not work. The symptoms
were the same as with 3.3.4 server and as a final treat, while I
was stracing the X server the system crashed with Watchdog Reset
and gave me the good old OpenPROM OK prompt.

There is also a dependancy problem, 3.3.5 server needs 3.3.5 
server-common package.

The Sun box I am usign is a SS20 with two processors. It had 
uptime of about 100 days :-(.

Where to find?
I want to know the exact location of ftp.debian.org or 
ftp.netscape.com, because I searched there and cannot find.
Thanks, Paulo Henrique

As i mentioned - Just delete all network routing commands from
your /etc/init.d/network except the route for the default gateway

Netscape for some reason removed this, but you can find the bins in the
slink sources for sparc (look in slink/non-free/source).
