USB Keyboard drives me crazy
Hi thereModule Size Used byNot tainted ...Im owning a good old Sparc 10 Ultra Workstation, and after a few month catching dust I decided to use it as an Workstation. Not knowing in what I got myself into. I only wanted this stupid Logitech USB Keyboard to work, so I put in an USB 1.1 add-on card here is the output of lspci :00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.

V120 install issue
Hi! I am trying to install Debian Linux 3.0_r3 on two Sun Fire V120s. On one the install works just fine... On the second the installation stalls, it seems the SCSI bus doesn't work properly: sym0:0:0: ABORT operation started. sym0:0:0: ABORT operation timed-out. sym0:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation started. sym0:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation timed-out. sym0:0:0: BUS RESET operation started. sym0:0:0: BUS RESET operation timed-out. sym0:0:0: HOST RESET operation started. sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset. I have tried the hard disks from one box to the other, and this works fine... Could it be that somewhere along the line that the firmware for the SCSI chip got updated? If so, how do I go about checking this, and updating it? Thanks for any help, Joel

im using: Linux pegasus 2.4.25 #4 SMP Sun Jul 4 18:45:51 CEST 2004 sparc64 GNU/Linux which I made myself Unrelated, but why do people use SMP kernes on uniprocessor machines these days? It's not the first time I see that in a short time. Nico -- Nicolas Will http://rdo.homelinux.org/
Re: USB Keyboard drives me crazy
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices Also, you might want to use a 2.6 kernel. I don't know about debian's kernels, but a well patched 2.6.8 (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r12) does the job great on my ultra10 because all the remaining issues (that I know of) are SCSI and SMP related... I seem to recall the reason I started using 2.6 was keyboard related (and I use a USB keyboard)...

klogd-issue with System.map / size limitation for memory allocation on SMP-kernel
Dear listmembers, If this is a bounce - sorry - it seemed to be impossible to get that email to the list! a new week, (propably ...) new luck. I used to ask for the (apparent) klogd - issue. After some debugging work I figured out (by the help of Richard Mortimer) that I am hitting on a SMP problem. The allocation of sufficient memory for reading System.map fails. The error happens within the function sys_get_kernel_symbols. I had been wrongly looking into linux/kernel/modules.c at first, but today I modified linux/arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c, and I found it. What I found is that the allocation works up to 1820 elements of the size 72 Bytes, however, we would need a tiny little more (1843 in my case, please take a look into the attachement). Nevertheless: I cannot understand this, this must be related to some limitations to - well, to what? I want 132696 byte of ram, but get only 1820*72=131040. Am I right to assume a limit 2^17 here - for whatever reason I do not know. Please take a look into the attached excerpt of /var/log/messages and the patch I have been integrating into linux/arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c Can this be modified by changing some kernel parameters? Where does this limitation stem from? Many thanks for any inputs, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- HARMAN BECKER AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS Dr.-Ing.
