Major breakage in Slink..
I've just noticed a few things while installing Debian on my IPX. debhelper is missing several files (dh_list and a couple others) bug won't file bug reports setserial crashes the console (bad if you're running a serial console) setserial tries to initialise to Lintel IRQ settings on sparc (on kernel 2.2.13) something causes a kernel panic/OOPS having to do with the serial ports (in potato) 'login' can't change tty permissions, and man can't change its cat page permissions. And probably others that I haven't yet noticed. What needs to be done to fix stuff? -- Ferret no baka

Upgrade to potato's debhelper. bug won't file bug reports Make sure you are running the latest one from potato. Also, there appears to be problems with -icanon on older sparc kernels, which `bug' uses. setserial crashes the console (bad if you're running a serial console) setserial tries to initialise to Lintel IRQ settings on sparc dpkg --purge setserial Setserial makes little sense on stock sparc systems.

[snip] (upgrade stuff to potato's version) apt-move wanted too much stuff upgraded (actually broke some things), so I grabbed source and tweaked dependencies.

Yeah. : (on kernel 2.2.13) something causes a kernel panic/OOPS having to do with the serial ports Haven't noticed this. Perhaps emailing sparclinux@vger.rutgers.edu would be of more help. Mmmm. I have a full console log of one of the 'nice sessions'. Basically go ahead and explain that I'm running a serial console, then send the .config (if I can recreate it) and the console log as attachments?

Oh, now that I'm actually AWAKE (g), it was saying 'function not implimented'.

I have a full console log of one of the 'nice sessions'. Basically go ahead and explain that I'm running a serial console, then send the .config (if I can recreate it) and the console log as attachments? Yes, please. So are you running the kernel-image-2.2.13 package, or your own compile? If your own, have you tried the package?

Oh, now that I'm actually AWAKE (g), it was saying 'function not implimented'. Sounds like you lack a feature in your kernel. Maybe the above would help. -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'
