RE: X11 crashing on 2.4.28
Dear listmembers, sorry for the delay. I'd really like to spend more time with the sparc issues if I could ;-). Replacing the XFree86 binary that comes with the regular distribution with the freshly build one that has been supplied by you solves the problem with X on my U60 / SMP / Creator 3d. So, it seems to me that my problem has been fixed by Richard (many thanks again) and I am looking forward for an official build to appear on the net prior to really using 2.4.28, because I do not want to get off sync with the regular distribution.

I have been neglectful in mentioning that this fix for 280384 fixes my original problem also.

klogd issue
Dear listmembers, quite a while ago I detected an error with klogd (I didn't know at that time). When in SMP-mode, klogd gets an issue with the getsyms call on my U60. It shows as follows (on boot): Dec 9 09:59:02 oekalux09 syslogd 1.4.1#16: restart. Dec 9 09:59:02 oekalux09 kernel: klogd 1.4.1#16, log source = /proc/kmsg started.

Dec 9 09:18:15 oekalux09 kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.4.26. Dec 9 09:18:15 oekalux09 kernel: Error reading kernel symbols - Cannot allocate memory Tracing deeper into this I found the erratic behaviour in the ksym_mod.c - file of sysklogd. The call to getsyms on line 238 what is actually a call to get_kernel_syms is returning a negative value. This is especially strange because the man-page of get_kernel_syms tells me that: Returns the number of symbols returned. There is no possible error return. However, I think this is not the function that is called but some kernel function that actually returns the value. I found something in modules.c, however, the #define that can be found there does not fit, neither does the sys_ before it. I am definitively lost here and appreciate any inputs.

Correct on all points except for sarge propigation.

USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
I recently inherited a Sun Ultra 5 from my company which I would like to use as a LAMP server. I downloaded the 13-CD sarge testing distribution (official snapshot 11/07/04) and got the system up and running normally with the Sun keyboard and mouse. I have it connected to a 4-port USB KVM switch, and I bought and installed a Belkin F5U219 3-port (2 external, 1 internal) USB 2.0 PCI card so that I can use the USB keyboard mouse instead of the Sun keyboard and mouse, which I would really like to get off of my desk. For the life of me, I cannot get the sparc to accept input from either the USB keyboard (Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) or the USB mouse (Kensington Expert Mouse Pro). When I plug in an external USB 2.0 CD-RW drive and type cdrecord --scanbus the CD-RW drive shows up just fine. Thus the USB subsystem appears to be functioning in general. On bootup, I also get plenty of messages indicating that the kernel found a USB keyboard and mouse. Under the double lines below is an excerpt from 'dmesg' that looks relevant to me. Does anyone out there know how to get a Sun Ultra 5 to accept input from a PC104 USB keyboard and a USB mouse? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. -Dan = Excerpt from 'dmesg': = PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 3.15.2 1998/11/10 10:35 Linux version 2.4.27-1-sparc64 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-7)) #1 Mon Aug 23 23:59:55 PDT 2004 ARCH: SUN4U ...

Sarge install using dumb terminal problems
Yet another question for this great list! After much help from everyone I have gotten past the installer bugs and got the base system installed, however when running Debian Configuration I cant tell which options I am selecting on the screen, lot of garbage characters appear and the enter and return keys seem to work ok but transmit a bunch of garbage characters at the end of transmitting a carriage return. i.e. when I set the root password and try to log in it keep saying my password is incorrect. I am using a Wyse 60 terminal in VT100 emulation mode. This setup works fine when maneuvering around in open boot or the installation process of Debain heck it even works with Solaris flawlessly. I only have this problem running Debian Configuration. Any ideas? Thanks again, JP
File does not seem executable
Hi all, Just trying to install Sarge or Woody on Ulta 30, and get the message File does not seem executable (or similar), when I reboot after install. Any thoughts? I have installed fine b4, but now, no luck. RH6.2 installs fine. ?

Re: USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
For the life of me, I cannot get the sparc to accept input from either the USB keyboard (Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) or the USB mouse (Kensington Expert Mouse Pro). What programs have you tried? What results did you get? the CD-RW drive shows up just fine. Thus the USB subsystem appears to be functioning in general. On bootup, I also get plenty of messages indicating that the kernel found a USB keyboard and mouse. Under the double lines below is an excerpt from 'dmesg' that looks relevant to me. Does anyone out there know how to get a Sun Ultra 5 to accept input from a PC104 USB keyboard and a USB mouse? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. The above info and the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices (or wherever you mount usbdevfs) and kernel / tool version numbers would probably be useful for anyone trying to help.

Would somebody kindly try to build the package? The solution you've proposed fails due to at least three different reasons: * The changes to the CC_FLAGS which the patch implements are inside the ifeq ($(UNAME),SunOS) ... endif block, so they would never be triggered on Debian. * The attempt to determine the architecture is done by looking at the result of 'uname -p' command. On Debian uname does not support a '-p' option. * Since you have forgot to create the 00list or 00list.sparc file in the debian/patches directory, the patch you describe does not even get applied during the build :-) The corrected patch looks like this: --snip diff -urNad brutefir-1.0/Makefile /tmp/dpep.9PBbmd/brutefir-1.0/Makefile --- brutefir-1.0/Makefile 2004-12-10 02:23:34.545793224 + +++ /tmp/dpep.9PBbmd/brutefir-1.0/Makefile 2004-12-10 02:31:29.741552488 + @@ -73,6 +73,9 @@ ifeq ($(UNAME_M),i686) BRUTEFIR_OBJS += $(BRUTEFIR_IA32_OBJS) endif +ifneq (,$(findstring sparc,$(UNAME_M))) +CC_FLAGS += -Wa,-xarch=v8plus +endif BRUTEFIR_LIBS += -ldl LDMULTIPLEDEFS = -Xlinker --allow-multiple-definition # assume that we have alsa, osss and jack --snip- You can find the corresponding dpatch scriplet at [0].
