some strange kernel message...

2001-02-16 Thread Marco Gaiarin

Apart that i've tried to compile 2.4.0 (won't compile) and 2.4.1 (won't
boot) in my ss10, i've some strange message from 2.2.18.

After some days of uptime (4-5) if i do "ps" i got:

{iommu_get_scsi_one_gflush} {___f_mmu_get_scsi_one}
Warning: /boot/System.map-2.2.18 does not match kernel data.

i have to pain?! ;)


Apart for this, sparc do the job very well.

Well, I lied. 'startx' still says the same:

giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X
server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.


But 'strace startx' doesn't. It stops with this output:

rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0

read(255, "", 2481) = 0
munmap(0x7001c000, 8192)= 0

'strace X' stops here:

Does that help any?

Get a cross-cable to connect the machines and try minicom or seyon
on the i386. The default serial settings are, IIRC, 9600 8N1.
The sparc console defaults to serial if you unplug the keyboard..
(check out the mail archives and the Sparc install howto. You 
might also want to check www.netbsd.org and the Doc/Sparc sections)

With Debian you don't need bootparam. Rarp and tftp will be enough.
The potato netboot images etc. can be found at your local debian
mirror under potato/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4cdm.

To inspect the disk later, you will have to build a kernel with
UFS and sun disklabel support. (unless the install kernel has them...)

It's been a while since I did this stuff, so I might me wrong
in some details, but I hope you get the general idea ;)

with minicom or seyon. Even cu should work. Settings: 9600 8N1, 
hardware flow control. And you need a null-modem cable.

Try the image from the boot-disks dir.  They worked perfectly for me.

Right now we just need people to test boot-floppies on sparc. I am going
to make a new release of boot-floppies for testing/woody soon (as soon
as I get new kernels built).

Test all the installs possible.

Well, it compiled fine. But X still doesn't work. I get the same error
messages as before. Even rebooting didn't help any (was just a really
little hope).

Any further suggestions? Maybe I'm missing something I don't think

That's probably been the problem. I installed libfreetype6-dev an hour

 freetype2.deb and freetype2-dev.deb is FreeType 1 packages.
 libfreetype6.deb and libfreetype6-dev.deb is FreeType2 packages.

 To compile xfree86_4.0.2 requires "FreeType2", so you sould use
libfreetype6-dev instead of freetype2-dev.
