This behaviour is almost always caused by important jitter on the line. Try to do a ping a look at the average round-trip. Then look at the value that are quite outside the mean time. Look at how often they occurs and how big they are. I had around 40ms round-trip with jitter up to 3300ms. This cause echo on the line, delays and slow start - peers doesn't hear you the first 10 secondS. All are caused by a poor quality Internet connexion. > Do I have a QOS issue?

I'm seeing that, on sparc64-smp arch with debian etch, this patch causes a very strange sideeffect I was describing in my first mail. The boot hangs, the cursor (in the framebuffer) stops blinking, nothing is displayed, and the machine seems frozen until I hit a key or a button mouse (which is on sparc causing the same interruption), and then the machine resume the boot sequence as if nothing really happened. I've been able to isolate that line to be the origin of this behaviour but it could be as well a bug revealed by this modification.

Weird kernel 2.6.17.[67] behaviour
I got a perfectly workable kernel 2.6.17.1 using mkinitramfs on my U60. I applied 2 days ago the patches to update the kernel to the 2.6.17.7. And to my surprise when rebooting, the boot process hanged for now reason. More surprising is that when boot continues if I press one key on the keyboard or one button on the mouse. The hangs happens several times in the start process and each time the boot resume when I press a key or a button. I never saw such a behaviour and was looking forward the change that caused this. It is not the compiler since it is the same version used for building the 2.6.17.1 and this one is working. It is not the mkinitramfs tools since I tried the yaird to regenerate a new initrd and it hangs in the same way. Can you shed some lights on this dark corner of linux ?

Support for Hardware crypto accelerator 1000 from SUN
Hello lists readers, I have a PCI card from SUN labeled SUN-crypto accelerator 1000. Looking at the web, I found some mention of a linux driver from RedHat for old kernel (like 2.4.18). They seems to have been removed from newer kernel. What happened to those drivers ? Is there any support for this hardware under debian ?

Entropy Pool on U60
Hello, I observed some strange behaviour on my U60. Whenever I ask to generate a key (like using the dnssec-keygen), the system takes age to answer. stracing it show that is sits idle waiting for the entropy pool to fill up enough randomness to generate a key. I saw in the proc pool that the pool is filling byte by byte using Is there a way to fill up this pool with a daemon or something ? I didn't see any source of hardware randomness on the U60. Is there such a device ? Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Indeed they are. Does the patch assume that cpus are numbered in a row ? Now, I reverted the patch for ip_tables.c, ip6_tables.c and ebtables.c. Everything is working ok (11h uptime). Is this problem specific to the Ultra 60 or sparc arch ? Will a proper fix be issued for our machines ? Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

mkinitrd, udev, LVM and 2.6.13
Hi,
I tried to boot 2.6.13-rc3 yesterday only to realize that devfs was
removed from OPTIONS.
The solution is to use udev. However, I need an initrd to since the box
I used is full LVM (but the /boot partition).
mkinitrd does not takes care of the udev usage (or in a way I can't
figure).
Is there any dev done in mkinitrd to use the udev ?
I had a look at the feudora but they are using nash which is really
speciallized in this tasks and unavailable for debian.
Is there any workdaround to boot with lvm but without devfs ?

2.6.12.x-smp on U60
Hi, I tried for a few weeks to make my U60 2x300mhz with 1.5gb of ram to boot with 2.6.12 and 2.6.12.x. Unfortunately, if the kernel seems to boot ok, I got a kernel panic when doing a iptables load active. Inserting the connection tracking module provokes an unrecoverable kernel panic. The 2.6.11.6 kernel was perfectly fine. Does anyone had this problem ? Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
