[Fwd: Patch troubles]
--- Begin Message --- Thanks for your post. After starting with a clean kernel source and following your instructions, the patch attempt still results in scads of skipped hunks and .rej files. It seems clear there is a major problem somewhere. I'm sure I haven't looked far enough to learn how to correct the .rej files or guess the underlying problem, but I just don't have the time. I'll wait for the 2.1 kernel to graduate to stable. Thanks again. -- C.L. Daugaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Peter S Galbraith wrote: > > "Curtis L.

Patch troubles
I'm not an utter newbie, but I feel like it right now. I have a patch (to support certain hardware) against 2.0.30 that I've successfully applied. Good. But I guess I'm just clueless about how to apply the pre-patch 2.0.31-1 through 2.0.31-7 (to gain support for the LS-120 drive). I've checked the Kernel HowTo, documentation in the kernel sources, directories from which the patches were downloaded, man page for patch, etc., but I the patches don't succeed. Even after a fresh reinstall of the sources, patch repeatedly alerts me that it thinks I'm trying to reapply a patch. So I guess my questions come to this: 1. What is needed to apply the pre-patches mentioned above? 2. Should the patch against 2.0.30 be applied before or after the pre-patches? My thanks to anyone who can help. -- C.L.

Debian support for Ultra ATA controller cards
I have been unable to find out whether drivers are available or under development for this new generation of IDE cards. I have a Promise Ultra33 and Debian 1.3 will not recognize the drives on the card during installation. Anyone out there have any info? Thanks. -- C.L.

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately upon checking I find that I already have modutils 2.1.34-5 installed. Best regards, Curt C.L.

FIXED POST: Two problems after upgrade to Debian 1.3
My apologies to the debian-user list for my faulty original post. I had just installed Netscape 4.0 and forgot to disable HTML in its mail package (which is enabled by default). Let me try again. Can someone enlighten me on the following, which I can't seem to solve with the available documentation? 1) Irqtune was working for me under v.1.2, but though my configured hardware is the same I now get an error message. Here is the message at boot time: " irqtune: setting system IRQ priority to 3/14 irqtune: insmod failed on '/usr/lib/hwtools/irqtune_mod.o' " Should I ignore the second message and assume the priority has been set? (Netscape does crash now and then, one of the symptoms irqtune is said to address.) 2) The second problem concerning syslogd hanging has been solved in a posted response to my original defective post. Thanks again. Curt C.L. Daugaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Two problems after upgrade to Debian 1.3
Can someone enlighten me on two problems? I can't seem to solve them with the available documentation 1) Irqtune was working for me under v.1.2, but though my configured hardware is the same I now get an error message. Here is the message at boot time: " irqtune: setting system IRQ priority to 3/14 irqtune: insmod failed on '/usr/lib/hwtools/irqtune_mod.o' " Should I ignore the second message and assume the priority has been set? (Netscape does crash now and then.) 2) On boot up when syslogd starts it hangs for about 8 to 10 seconds. Not a problem I guess, but it didn'tused to do it. My thanks to anyone who can help.

Re: gpm, X-Windows, MS Serial mouse
My thanks to several of you who responded to my post. You all corrected my mistake of thinking I could not specify the (preferred) /dev/ttySx in both gpm and the X-server. After correcting the config and rebooting I'm able to start and restart X without killing gpm. Regards, -- C.L. Daugaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] __
gpm, X-Windows, MS Serial mouse
Before I changed to Debian, I could swear that under Slackware I was able to use my MS serial mouse in X-Windows without first killing gpm. No more. X refuses to start, complaining "device in use." I've tried everything I can think of based on the documentation for gpm, including invoking the -M option and pointing the XF86Config file to /dev/gpmdata. My current serial settings: gpm set to /dev/cua2 and XF86Config to /dev/ttyS2. Can anybody tell me the secret? Thanks. C.L. Daugaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] __
