intel scsi controller srczcr
> > Pretty new to linux here, so bear with me. Ok. I have to get debian on this machine with this raid controller - no other drives in the box. It will be the first linux box for this company and I've been the linux evangelist here... and I'm needing help. I've pretty much given up on getting drivers/modules for this controller for current kernels, but if anyone has any, that would be great. This email is instead to pursue the other line of action: using the disks provided by intel to get a base system up and running and then upgrade the kernel from there. That still has problems. The intel controller comes with a cd that makes a set of install floppies: rescue, root and driver modules for the controller. They are at kernel 2.2.19-compact. I boot with the rescue disk, partition the drive, install root, swap and lilo on a boot partition. The problem comes with installing a base system from that. I've tried to find the base system for that kernel online - but archive.debian.org is down and I'm not finding others. I did find an iso of potato that I burned to CD but it was the wrong kernel apparently - 2.2.26 I also tried to apt upgrade with a sources.list I created, but apt isn't installed yet. Any help getting a base system on that? Or how to upgrade with the little bit that is loaded? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Yeah, me too. Usually the safest thing is to wait a week or two and try again, but I usually end up with some kind of dependency tangle right when I need to install some new package or other. So I have to hack through it to get things working again. (I should figure out how to de-update and just step back a notch, but I'm too lazy.) Broken ALSA packages a bit back, for example. I had to get the source and hack one of the scripts just to finish doing an install. Annoying. But it does happen. That's why they call it "Unstable" or "Testing" after all. I just take comfort from remembering how much worse this was with an RPM-based distro.

Correct these problems by May 18, 2004 for I will have to report you as a hacker. Welcome to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] mailing list. This is a public, non-moderated list for the discussion of use and support of the Debian operating system [2]. "apt" is a package within the Debian operating system. It contains tools which facilitate the installation, removal, and manipulation of other software applications within a Debian system. To remove apt [3] from your Debian system, from a root prompt execute: # apt-get --purge remove apt You will see a warning message indicating that the operation you are about to perform is dangerous and could leave your Debian system inoperable. You should not proceed unless you are certain you understand what you are doing. To remove an extraneous Filesystems from your computer I recommend you install the parted [4] package. For a thorough discussion of the use and limitations of parted, see also the parted-doc [5] package. As an interim solution you may wish to consult the manual for the "dd" command. To destroy an extraneous Filesystem and its contents, I believe from a root prompt you might execute: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hd[a][n] Where for [a][n] is substituted the alphanumeric-numeric pair denoting the hard disk partition on which the extraneous Filesystem resides. **Warning** This will destroy all data in and including the Filesystem residing on the specified partition. Please note that executing either of these commands against the Filesystem containing your Debian system may leave your Debian system unbootable or otherwise inoperable. It is seriously recommended that you not do this unless you are certain you understand what you doing.

Is there any sort of Linux analysis tool that works in the command mode that might tell me what is wrong with the copies I am making? These disks are not copy-protected at all and one can use the comm server to make new copies but this is not as convenient as using a computer to manage backups. It would be nice to be able to mount the disks, but being able to make a binary copy to and from an image would be fine, also. Also, the problem may lie in the way I use superformat to format a totally blank diskette. I do: superformat /dev/fd0 --verify_later sect=18 cyl=80 I think what I need is to format all the tracks with no FAT. The PDP-11 disk has a different FAT structure, at least that is what I think is happening. There may be nothing wrong with the copiewd image, or with the disk once you copy the image onto it. Formatting (with, or without the FAT) is irrelavant since copying back the image with dd will overwrite the formatting. The question is: Why do you think that you should be able to boot a PC with software written for a PDP-11? I don't even know if what you have is a bootable disk, but even if it is it would only boot on a PDP-11. BTW the last time I worked with a PDP-11 wan an 11/15 and that was back when I was in college in the late 1970's. I can't even find a PDP-11 for sale on E-Bay.

No, but when I installed KNOPPMYTH, based upon KNOPPIX, the other day I saw that directory tree there. The system was a strange mix of distro components. I can see why people who install KNOPPIX have trouble maintaining or upgrading it. It is a really sweet live cd booting system. But not so good for a long term installation.

I think you may have been lucky that the kernel on your sid and sarge boxes were the same. Because the initial ram disk (initrd) contains kernel modules which the kernel will load at boot time.

For example, > > $ modprobe eth0 > FATAL: Module eth0 not found. You are mistaken about what is a kernel module and what is a kernel device. The eth0 name is a kernel device. It is a networking device name the kernel uses identify the first network interface card (nic). It is not a module name. Kernel module names identify software drivers for particular types of devices. Such as e100 for an Intel or 8139too for a realtek. Kernel modules can be loaded with 'modprobe', not devices. What are you trying to get working? Both networking and sound? What is the output of 'lspci'. lspci That is the critical information to determine what you need to do here. If I assume right from your notes above you need to load the following into /etc/modules. modprobe i810_audio && echo i810_audio >> /etc/modules modprobe 3c59x && echo 3c59x >> /etc/modules The above should do it. Or use the 'modconf' command to do basically the above inside of a guided environment. modconf Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

(provide us with the output of 'uname -a') I think he is using a kernel older than 2.4.19. Probably 2.4.18? I guess that because 2.4.18 does not include an e1000 driver. The e1000 driver was introduced into the 2.4.19 kernel. > It sounds like you may be using a kernel that was configured without > that module. You can install a new kernel easily with apt, but first > we'll need to know a bit more about your system. I believe the e1000 driver was introduced in the 2.4.19 kernel. So the 2.4.18 from woody would not have it by default. Of course it could be compiled for 2.4.18 as a module. But using a newer kernel which included it already would be easiest to recommend. It is usually about here where I suggest getting the kernel from the woody-proposed-updates area. A not quite official update area and very useful. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody-proposed-updates main contrib I would not upgrade from there. Just install the kernel that you want, then comment that line out for the future. I always install the kernel tuned for my architecture, k7 for an athlon, and so forth.

If you use aptitude (and possibly apt-get upgrade as well) you can configure to ensure you are given the opportunity to abort the upgrade if there are grave bugs in any packages. You can then limit the upgrade to the unaffected packages. I don't regard myself as any sort of expert but have been tracking unstable since December; apart from one calamity born of my ignorance, I've had a fully functioning system ever since. If things are broken in unstable you only need to carry on with your working version of any package until the upgraded one is fixed. Fixes in sarge generally take a lot longer than in sid.

Apparently only p and P print *anything* if -n is in effect; which means no other command has any visible side effects; you can only store the result in hold space, until you print it with p.

system.kdeglobals - which package?
Howdy, I've wound up in a situation where I don't have the file /etc/kde3/system.kdeglobals for some reason (likely I lost it in that recent snafu with kdelibs4 postinst deleting it). The problem is I can't figure out how to get it back. It's not owned by anything (which one would expect of a conffile), but it also doesn't appear to be listed as a conffile for anything. Apparently it used to be a conffile from one of the kdelibs packages (kdelibs, kdelibs4, kdelibs-data, etc... don't remember which). So where does it come from, and more importantly, how do I get it back? (BTW, running Debian-unstable, originally installed from a testing mini-cd using d-i from 4/13/2004).

Put yourself in the other position. I have a .deb file from Debian. I want to install it on a RH system. Should I insist that you must use dpkg to install it there? That would be just as silly as insisting the reverse. A native packaging is always best. A real example might help. On Debian only one MTA (mail transport agents) can be installed at the same time. Installing a different one pushes out the previous one. This makes it easy to switch between MTAs. Just install a different one. Have sendmail installed? Install postfix. Sendmail is removed as Postfix is added leaving Postfix as the active MTA. Want to go back? Install the previous MTA of choice. Everything works. It is very nice. On later RH they use the alternatives for /usr/sbin/mta making it a symlink to the currently active MTA such as one of sendmail or postfix. It is possible to have multiple MTAs installed but only one of them active[1]. This is a completely different method of managing the current MTA. And after installation you must adjust the alternatives and other things or your desired selected MTA is not configured. On RH 7.3 (don't know about later versions) postfix has a lower priority than sendmail for example. Installing a package from a different system will not be written to handle the other system's management methods. This is completely outside the scope of just a package installation tool like dpkg or rpm or even a dependency aware tool like apt or yum but encompasses the larger problem of system policy. There are issues of naming conventions and other such things to be taken into consideration. I feel that the system policy which describes how packages interoperate is where Debian is clearly ahead of the competition. Bob [1] Why have multiple MTAs installed? Only one can really be active. It just causes problems. But this is legacy from RH usage. On RH at bare metal install time is the only time you can guarantee the dependencies are all resolvable. So RH users have been encouraged to install everything from the CD at installation time regardless of the sensibility of that because later they won't be able to do so. This required RH to facilitate this using the Debian alternatives as a way to have multiple MTAs installed at the same time but only one operating. I see that as a hack on a hack. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We have a rack of I forget which part number of HP Netserver 2000 machines and they run the stock Debian woody kernels fine. However, we have upgraded them to later kernels in order to generally upgrade and simplify networking. There is a choice of networking available, either Intel or Broadcom, and depending upon what you have you may want to make modifications. If Intel then you want to use the e100 driver if possible. It is an add-on module in the 2.4.18 kernel. In later kernels it is in the stock linux distribution. The eepro100 is available in 2.4.18. But the eepro100 driver has some known issues under heavy load which can drop it offline. Restarting networking with the eepro100 puts it back online but best to use the e100 and avoid the problem. The Broadcom in the 2.4.18 kernel needs the bcm5700 driver compiled as an add-on module. In later kernels it is available in the stock linux kernel as the tg3 module.

Well, that's all rather misleading, I think. Nothing ever makes it "into stable." When stable is stable, stable stays stable. When was the last time a package made it from Sid into Woody? The descriptions of the Debian Way make it sound like that happens, but it doesn't. Packages "make it into stable" all at once, and after they're there, they're frozen in time forever.

Keyboard and locale problems
Hi, I have just done a hard disc install of Knoppix 3.3 which gives me Debian 2.4.24-xfs. I am having problems with my graphics card (Matrox MGA Millenium) and so cannot run a GUI on the box itself. This means that I miss out on all the graphical configuration tools which come with the KDE desktop, and I have to manage the system remotely using an X-Server on my Windows PC.

Keyboard and locale problems
Hi, I have just done a hard disc install of Knoppix 3.3 which gives me Debian 2.4.24-xfs. I am having problems with my graphics card (Matrox MGA Millenium) and so cannot run a GUI on the box itself. This means that I miss out on all the graphical configuration tools which come with the KDE desktop, and I have to manage the system remotely using an X-Server on my Windows PC. First problem - can't find any obvious X (or even non-X) configuration tool widgets to automate configuration (such as found under KDE or like 'linuxconf' under RedHat). Second problem - I am stuck with a US keyboard layout and a UK keyboard. I am trying to change the default 'locale' settings in /etc/sysconfig, but I can't seem to get the settings right.

Hi all folks, Debian unstable FreeBSD 5.2 I used "burncd" burning data files on a CDRW as root on a FreeBSD box. After burning, files can be copied from CDRW to any directory on the FreeBSD box. But they can't be copied to Debian box, saying that I have no permission to copy files. However in fact the files are copied to Debian box. On the Debian box I tried to mount the CDRW as root as well as user with the same result.

intel scsi controller srczcr
Hello, Posted this yesterday but can’t find it or any response – sorry if I missed it or the spam filter ate it. Pretty new to linux here, so bear with me. Trying to install on a server with intel scsi controller srczcr. I’m using woody/debian3.0r1 cd image to get started. I try this with no boot arguments or by specifying kernel 2.4 using bf24 – same result. The bios recognizes the scsi and I have the raid configured as required. Of course it is not recognized. I try to load the module for the driver using either a cd built from the intel scsi cd or downloaded from intel support (link below) but on either case, the install routine says ‘can’t load the floppy’. The message from dbootstrap says ‘unable to mount the floppy, can’t continue’. The floppy is accessed. Using the little shell on alt-f2, I can cd to the floppy, but it appears empty (might be my ignorance here, all that is listed is root created today when I ls –al). Thanks – any help is appreciated.

Hi, I found some information on getting the tablet to work in the console via gpm[1], however most of the links are broken. This includes information on setting the correct repeater, allowing you to use the gpm repeater device under X. There is further information about the correct GPM types at[2]. This seems to suggest that `mainstream' gpm has the correct driver built-in, although it mentions that a modified X driver is needed to make sense of the repeater. If you cannot obtain a pre-built, modified X driver for your computer architecture that you are willing to trust, you will need the source for the driver and the X source in order to build it. I doubt that versions 2.6.x (x > 3) provide any more support for the tablet than 2.6.3 does, but I have not checked this myself. You need to scour the changelogs at a mirror of www.kernel.org to be sure.

'*' is a metacharacter to the shell: if you'd happened to have any files in the current directory whose names started with '^ii.' for whatever reason, or if you had the shell option 'nullglob' set, then "grep ^ii.*" would have gone wrong. You may feel this is unlikely, but it's good style to quote metacharacters nonetheless. There are no metacharacters in ^ii alone, so quoting there is unnecessary. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That applies to Debian packages, but not to third-party products being ported to Debian. The usual approach for those is to build for stable and deal with other problems if and when they arise. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The original poster mentioned some locale-related warnings which weren't fatal; your problems are fatal but entirely different. It looks rather as if locale-gen is running out of memory and being killed by the kernel? Check your syslog.

I use it when nothing else will do (purely a personal dislike of big apps that take minutes to open). I've just checked and it works fine on two of my sid boxes, one with 1.1.1-1 and the other with 1.1.1-2 and both work correctly.

Root: mkinitrd ... Permission denied. (?)
Hi, at the risk of being tiresome (to myself if no one else) ... I apt-graded to kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 successfully, but after the next dist-upgrade - which 'upgraded' the kernel-image - I found reboot gave me a kernel panic "VFS: Cannot open root device "hdb5" or unknown-block (0,0) Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" Googling around has suggested that 2.6.5 has changed the parsing of the "root= " boot argument. I rebooted with the rescue disk (2.4.8-bf2.4), which is missing its modules dependency file (modules.dep), but now find "Tux:~# /usr/sbin/mkinitrd -m /boot/initrd.img-2.6.5-1-686 -o 2.6.5custom /usr/sbin/mkinitrd line 1: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.5-1-686: Permission denied" What am I missing here ?
