ypbind failure
Hi! I ran into some nasty problem this morning.. I did a "apt-get dist-upgrade" on my woody installation. Now ypbind is unable to talk to our NIS server. I know i should blame myself for running woody on a machine i need to work with, so thats not the issue.. But where do i get information about bugs in woody? The bug database seems to only address the stable distro.

I/O problems on SPARC IPX
Hello When the processor is active, both the keyboard and mouse behave erraticly. When I compile, apt-get things and the such the mouse moves on its own, and the keyboard outputs strange characters. This happens both in text consoles and in X. It make multitasking very difficult =). Does anyone know, why, and can you help? Thank You, John F. Scipione [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can't get Seagate HD to be recognized by Debian installer
Hi I have a SparcStation 2 with a Seagate 2.1 GB hard drive. The debian 2.2 installer does not recognize the drive, not from the boot disk, nor from the cd. However, Debian 2.1, Solaris, Redhat Linux 6.2, Netbsd, and probe-scsi from the prom all do. When debian boots, it reports the cdrom, but not the hard disk. This I find very strange. Does anyone have any idea why, and is their a fix? Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank You, John F. Scipione [EMAIL PROTECTED]
