Re: kernel woes
Schaefer, Robert (PS) wrote: A couple of things jump out to me, and a suggestion. First, you're mounting /dev/hda1 as your root partition, which if true, you're then saying your kernel images are in the root directory. (They're usually found in /boot) If, on the other hand, you're using a smaller partition to boot from in /dev/hda1, then your root partition is incorrect, but your image locations are correct. One thing you can do to check this is to type the following command at the silo prompt: ls / This will show you what's at the root of the current partition. You can also do an ls on /boot as well to see if your image files are there. If they're in /boot rather than /, you can boot into them as well. I think the command is to simply type the path and name of the image you want to boot with, followed by any options. For example: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25.042904 Would boot the first image if its in /boot rather than /. Double check the silo man pages for the correct format, I'm not sure if its completely correct. Other than that, at this point I don't know. OK, so progress has been made. I needed to add the /boot/ part to the line, and discovered I had a typo in the 2.4.25 kernel line to top if off. Thanks for the responses that led to the fix! But..when booting into 2.4.25, I am still unable to access anything outbound. Inbound connections are fine, and when I boot back to the stock 2.4.18 kernel, all is good. Any idea what this could be?

One way to test this is simply to run X as root. definitly X, I tried to run 'X' as root, the result is the same. Okay, it looks like the sunffb driver is definitely busted in testing and unstable. Is this minus the patches that I sent you? It's minus the one that wouldn't compile. The other one is part of the package version the submitter is using: * Apply patch by David S.

However, the missing symbols that are being complained have to do with DRI and drm, not XAA or Render. -- G.

Re: 2.6.x with no X on a U5

I dug about in the archives and found this article quite useful. http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2004/debian-sparc-200402/msg00073.html X still doesn't work as well as it does under a 2.4 kernel but it is more or less there. I've been away from my desk for weeks now, but using Euan's suggestion above and the patch from Ben referenced in the link, I was able to get X to at least start. (Unstable, U5, 2.6.5, Built-in ATI chipset) Now I'm left with just two problems. First, I can't seem to get my poor mouse to work. I've got a Type 5c and have these entries in my XF86Config-4: Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol BusMouse EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Mouse Driver mouse Option SendCoreEventstrue Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol ImPS/2 EndSection My full config XF86Config and kernel config files are here: http://www.valites.net/kernel_config I seem to remember reading in the archives there were known issues with Ultras and mice, but I can't find the post now. Secondly, I don't have any console fonts. From the time the machine boots with the Booting Linux... message until X starts, all I see is the first 6 messages about uncompressing the kernel on the white prom background. I'm sure this is a kernel config mistake, but I can't seem to find what I left out. I must be going blind would appreciate if someone could point out what I'm missing. -- Mark T.

Arnos firewall script
Anyone tried using this script? I'm trying to use it on an Ultra5 running Woody but keep getting errors like: iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table 'nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. . . iptables: Invalid argument . . iptables: No chain/target/match by that name my searches on google suggested insmod iptables.o, which didn't work, since i guess the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ are named differently... i.e. ip_tables.o. but trying to insmod ip_tables.o gives me: insmod: a module named ip_tables already exists so neeless to say, i'm a bit stumped... all i want is a simple firewall script, and this seemed like a solution... if anyone can suggest a remedy or suggest other scripts they've had success with on sparc, I'd look forward to the input. thanks, Joubin
Re: Arnos firewall script
I haven't looked at that script in particular, but having just setup an iptables firewall on my own U5 recerntly, I'd wager the script has -m limit lines within. Unfortunately, it looks like the limit module is broken for the ultrasparcs, so you'll need to remove/modify those line to remove the reference to the limit module. - Jeff Joubin Moshrefzadeh wrote: Anyone tried using this script?

Re: Arnos firewall script
Sorry Jeff, meant to reply-all so the list would also see... I tried removing all references to -m limit --limit ... in the script but I still get the same errors... If it helps, I had the same problems with anothe script I got off the net as well. so I'm assuming its something to do with my iptables setup. - Original Message - From: Jeff Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, April 30, 2004 12:20 pm Subject: Re: Arnos firewall script I haven't looked at that script in particular, but having just setup an iptables firewall on my own U5 recerntly, I'd wager the script has -m limit lines within.
