Generate OpenSSL CSR in Squeeze
Hello, We have an RSA key with no encryption password, and we need to generate a CSR using this key. However, when I try to generate a CSR, I get an error: # openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr Enter pass phrase for server.key: 32208:error:28069065:lib(40):UI_set_result:result too small:ui_lib.c:850:You must type in 4 to 8191 characters And if I put in a random password, I get this: unable to load Private Key 32208:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt:evp_enc.c:330: 32208:error:23077074:PKCS12 routines:PKCS12_pbe_crypt:pkcs12 cipherfinal error:p12_decr.c:97: 32208:error:2306A075:PKCS12 routines:PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i:pkcs12 pbe crypt error:p12_decr.c:123: 32208:error:0907B00D:PEM routines:PEM_READ_BIO_PRIVATEKEY:ASN1 lib:pem_pkey.c:125: I am using the Debian Squeeze (amd64) and the stock OpenSSL package (openssl_0.9.8o-4squeeze1_amd64).

While I don't know what may cause this behavior, I'd try to use GnuTLS' certtool(1) to generate the request, in the hope that it's unlikely that both OpenSSL and GnuTLS would've been broken in the same way. $ openssl --generate-request --load-privkey=server.key --outfile=server.csr […] Thanks. It turns out the key file in question is an encrypted key (not a plain RSA key as I thought). However, it was created with no password specified, and apparently OpenSSL doesn't stop you from doing this, but it can't read the encrypted key later if you chose not to set a password. A quick example: # openssl genrsa 4096 | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -out test.key Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus ...++ ..++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Enter Encryption Password: Verifying - Enter Encryption Password: I just hit ENTER when prompted for the password each time, so the password is blank. But then you get an error when you try to create a CSR using this key: # openssl req -new -key test.key -out test.csr Enter pass phrase for test.key: 328:error:28069065:lib(40):UI_set_result:result too small:ui_lib.c:850:You must type in 4 to 8191 characters Enter pass phrase for test.key: And now you're stuck. It just keeps asking for a password, and even ^C won't break out of this. You have to enter a junk password that's more than 4 characters, and that will force it to fail and abort. I think this behavior is very odd. - Dave -- Dave Parker Systems Administrator Utica College Integrated Information Technology Services (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Now I'm trying to find out whether this proliant works correctly with Debian (either squeeze or testing (or even unstable)). Server has HP P212/ZM and P410/256 controllers (I guess it needs two controllers to accomodate support 12 HDDs). I actually don't need any RAID functionality from these controllers (I'm going to use standard linux md soft-raid anyway). Does anybody use HP DL180 G6 with Debian here and can confirm that Debian works correctly on that server? Unfortunately google wasn't really helpful (at least for dl180 g6 debian, p212 debian and similar phrases). Hello, I just installed Squeeze on several HP DL360 G6 servers and it works fine. Each of these servers has the P410i controller with two physical disks configured in a RAID 1 mirror. Debian uses the built-in cciss driver and maps the RAID volume to /dev/cciss/c0d0. If you don't have a RAID volume set up, I would imagine it would map the first physical drive to /dev/cciss/c0d0, the next to /dev/cciss/c0d1, etc. One quick note, you will need the firmware for the network hardware in these machines. Download this file: ttp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-bnx2_0.28_all.deb Put the file on a thumbdrive and plug it into the server right before the installer detects the network hardware. Make sure you unplug it after the network hardware is set up, and before the installer goes on to detect the disks.

Network connection drops in Squeeze
Hello, I have an HP 6005 workstation with a fresh install of Debian Squeeze, and I am seeing some very strange networking behavior. The network connection seems to drop periodically, but it comes back if you hit a key on the keyboard plugged into the machine. Here's the general way it happens: 1. I am logged into the machine via SSH 2. I attempt to transfer a large file to or from the machine via SFTP 3. At some point during the transfer, my SSH session will just hang and all connectivity to the machine is lost (I can't ping it, start a new SSH session, etc.) 4. If I walk over to the physical machine and hit any key on the keyboard, all network connectivity immediately resumes. I can reproduce this with pretty good consistency. It seems to happen any time I am doing something fairly network intensive (large file transfer, X11 forwarding, etc.) This is a clean command-line-only install of Squeeze (64-bit) with the default kernel (2.6.32-5-amd64). The information for the onboard NIC is as follows: 3f:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5761 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3047 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 26 Memory at f020 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at f021 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [40] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [60] Vendor Specific Information: Len=6c ?

Re: To KVM or not to KVM
I think that the virtualization support in some CPUs is not compatible with KVM. I have an HP server with two dual-core Xeon model 5160 CPUs in it. According to Intel's website, this CPU has the VT-x extension for virtualization support, and I enabled virtualization support in the BIOS. However, QEMU says that the CPU does not support virtualization, and /proc/cpuinfo does not show the vmx extension (which KVM requires). - Dave On 11/11/2010 09:23 AM, David Baron wrote: I have a dual core intel processor with hyperthreading, etc. Virtualization options are set on in BIOS.

Stop dhclient from adding a default gateway
Hello,
I have a Debian Lenny box with two NICs, eth0 and eth1. eht1 is a
trunking interface and can be put onto any VLAN. Whenever eth1 is put
onto a VLAN, I want it to get an address from DHCP but I do *not* want
it to set a default gateway.
I set up a definition for each interface in dhclient.conf and explicitly
requested everything except routers. Here's an example using the
interface for VLAN 52:
interface vlan52 {
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, domain-name,
domain-name-servers, host-name;
}
I deleted everything else from the config file, so it's literally just
one big list of interface definitions like the one above. I also set up
two shell scripts per VLAN, one to set up a static route and the other
to delete the route, and set these scripts to run as post-up/pre-down
commands for the respective VLAN interface in /etc/network/interfaces,
like so:
# VLAN 52 - Library
iface vlan52 inet dhcp
vlan_raw_device eth1
post-up /etc/network/scripts/vlan52_add_route
pre-down /etc/network/scripts/vlan52_del_route
The scripts work and I get the static route, but I still get a default
route as well:
# ifup vlan52
Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config
Added VLAN with VID == 52 to IF -:eth1:-

By coincidence I have been hacking on these scripts today too... The dhclient-script sets the route. If you want to prevent it then you will have to either prevent dhclient-script from setting it or to remove it after it has been set. Thanks, Bob. I had looked at dhclient-script and realized that it was the culprit, but I was hoping to avoid hacking up that script. I tried adding a line to my post-up script to remove the default route, like so: route del -net 10.5.2.0/24 gw 0.0.0.0 dev vlan52 But this removes the static route instead! I don't know why it's behaving like that. It appears that I can delete both routes, but only in a certain order. I can only delete the default route once the static route is gone. And if I don't have any routes for that network, route won't let me add the static route unless a default route is already there. I have to add the default route first, and then I can add the static one. So, if I stop dhclient from adding the default route, it seems like this would prevent my post-up script from being able to add the static route. I'm very confused by this. Does the kernel absolutely require a default route for every network the host is on? Because that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

I do trust everyone currently on the network. Or is it still a good idea. I'll enable it for another level of security, but just wondering how necessary this is for a small home network? The encrypt passwords option specifies whether or not Samba expects plain-text or encrypted passwords to be transmitted from the client, and it also affects how those passwords are stored in the smbpasswd file. As I understand it, encrypted passwords are required in order for Samba to work correctly with modern version of Windows (2000 and newer).

He seems to indicate that the passwordless login works just fine unless he tries to run a command through the ssh command line. I don't know why that would make a difference. Big difference for me. As I said in my original post, certain computational parallelized codes (from major supercomputer centers, latest versions) do not work unless the two machines talking to one another also know themselves. Usually, the two machines are my desktop (let say deb32) and my parallel computer (let say deb64) talking to one another via a router.The only way I found (perhaps suggested by the author of the code, I don't remember) to login passwordless (my arrangement is also passfraseless) to the parallel computer - and vice versa - while requesting the date, is to take the deb32 keys from deb64 and append them to those of deb32 itself, and vice versa. I admit that most codes do not care about that, but it happens that I am using at this very moment a code that has such idiosyncrasy. When I said there must be a simpler way, I meant to make that appending intrinsic in the configuration of ssh. Otherwise, I have to stay to ssh if I want (as I need) also to access supercomputers. I am surprised that others are able to login while running a command by simply sending one-way the keys. As I am no system expert, I assume that I am not setting up correctly ssh. regards francesco Francesco, If I understand you correctly, you are trying to ssh from your PC running 32-bit Lenny to a node in a parallel computing cluster running 64-bit Lenny. Is this correct? I'm not sure why a simple one-way shared key would not work if you are trying to run a command on the parallel computer from your PC. You shouldn't need two-way authentication unless the parallel computer needs to run something on your machine using the same tunnel. But I might be misunderstanding how you have things set up. - Dave P.S.

Re: UNIX Logins by Proxy Over the Web
The way I imagine it, when a client clicks a link, he/she triggers the server to ssh to an account on the UNIX system where they begin running my application by default, in other words, that's all you can do there.

Could you have a web form which collects all the necessary information from the user, and then sends it to the UNIX server in a file which your application can parse? That way, users would not be interacting with the UNIX server at all. - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Department of Integrated Information Technology Services Data Processing Office (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

LDAP Authentication
Hello, I have a box running Lenny which I am trying to configure to use LDAP (as opposed to local) user authentication. Both nss_ldap and pam_ldap are installed from the current packages. The server it is authenticating against is a Sun LDAP server which stores passwords as SHA2 hashes by default. I am not able to get LDAP logins working on this box, and the problem appears to be that there is no support for SHA2 passwords in nss_ldap or pam_ldap. Does anyone know if this is correct? I have tried setting pam_password to 'clear', 'crypt', 'ad', and 'exop' with no luck. (There does not seem to be any 'sha' or 'sha2' option.) If we change the password from SHA2 to a UNIX crypt hash on the server and set pam_password to 'crypt' in /etc/libnss-ldap.conf, then the LDAP authentication works correctly. I haven't had any luck finding answers on Google, and I can't seem to find much documentation on using nss_ldap or pam_ldap with SHA2. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I spent several days Googling and troubleshooting it until I finally gave up and installed a PCI NIC I knew would work. The problem seemed to boil down to the fact that the forcedeth driver was not able to query to NIC properly to get its MAC address, so it would just assign a random MAC address to it instead. Because of this, the NIC got a different device designation (eth0, eth1, etc.) each time the computer booted, and it wasn't possible to use udev to fix it since the MAC address was always different. One of my Google searches brought up a post that said this was fixed in the forcedeth driver in testing, but I didn't try it. - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Department of Integrated Information Technology Services Data Processing Office (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: why linux?
Eric A. Bonney wrote: You know...I have been giving this thread alot of thought. I think the issue is that we the end user expect to much from Linux in general and I don't think that the average person thinks of certain things. Like, how long have you been using Windows? I know I have been using Windows for basically my entire adult life, yet I just started using Linux a little over a month ago. I realize that things are going to be much more difficult in Linux, some because Linux is not as user friendly as Windows, but mostly because it is new to me. This is very true. I think an awful lot of people decide to try Linux with the expectation that it will be a free version of Windows, which is certainly not the case. But as far as Linux not being as user friendly as Windows, I think that is open to broad interpretation. Windows is user friendly in that it greatly limits your choices, and it does a lot of things for you. Microsoft has made most of the decisions for you, like what the desktop environment will look like, and you just live with those decisions. To me, Debian is far more user friendly because I, as the user, get to choose exactly what I want to use and how I want to install it. If I need something quick, it's as simple as an apt-get install If I want to seriously fine-tune something, I can compile it from source. This, to me, is far more user friendly. And if I don't want something, I don't install it. When I first started using Windows way back when, it was difficult to do much of anything also. I think, we the new user of Linux, need to expect issues and things to be more difficult, but that's what this mailing list is for, that is what IRC is for. I have had nothing but great experiences with both of these and usually I am able to get my issues resolved with help from the folks there and with some research on my own. It all boils down to the fact that we have to be willing to put forth a little bit of work ourselves if we want things to work properly, even in Windows. Exactly. You can't go into it thinking I've got an hour to kill, I think I'll install Linux and figure out how it works. It takes time, but once you learn the ropes, the rewards are worth the effort. - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Department of Integrated Information Technology Services Data Processing Office (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Regardless of all the kernel naming confusion, I guess this comes down to the fact that your kernel supports SMP. This means it supports multiple processors, multiple cores, and hyper threading.

I found the cause of the problem late last night, but I still can't explain it. The cause appears to be the contents of the ~/.xsession file. I noticed that I was able to log in to kdm as another regular user, and the only difference between the two accounts was that mythtv had a .xsession file and the other user did not. When I copied mythtv's .xsession to the other user's home directory, that account experienced the same problems. The ~/.xsession file for mythtv contained two lines: fvwm DISPLAY=:0.0 fvwm-root /home/mythtv/mythtv_startup.png The first line starts the fvwm window manager, and the second line replaces the background image with a fullscreen MythTV logo. I tried removing the second line, but that did not solve the problem. Then I removed the from the fvwm line and it worked. The apparent cause of all of this was the fact that the window manager was being started in the background. It's not just fvwm, because I tried twm and that failed as well, but just twm worked fine. The really strange thing is that this .xsession file hasn't been changed in quite some time, and this never caused a problem before. Thanks to everyone for your advice and suggestions. Does anyone have any ideas about how to make this behave like it used to? Thanks!

X Authentication Problem
Hello, I have a MythTV box running Debian Sarge. Last night I had to reboot it, which has never caused a problem before, but now the mythtv user cannot authenticate with X and get access to display :0.0. I am using kdm and it usually logs the mythtv user in automatically when the X server starts, but now I get a bunch of these errors in /var/log/kdm.log: AUDIT: Tue Mar 6 22:36:07 2007: 2830 X: client 1 rejected from local host Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Tue Mar 6 22:36:07 2007: 2830 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 I have Googled this problem and found several posts that said to delete the user's .Xauthority file, but this did not work. The next time I try to log in as mythtv, it recreates the file but it is empty. I have also tried using xauth to generate a new file, but it does not work: $ xauth generate :0 . Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xauth: (argv):1: unable to open display :0. Trying this as root gets the same error. My regular user account on the box is able to log in and use X just fine, so I tried copying my .Xauthority file to the mythtv user's home directory, but this did not work. This is very frustrating. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks!

Compiling flops.c

Weird cups problems
Hello, I am running Debian Etch, and I have recently upgraded cups on my system. Aside from all of the other problems which have already been reported with the new version of cups, I have one I can't seem to find much information on. Whenever I start cups, it puts several random network printers located in other people's offices into my /etc/printcap file and they show up when I go to localhost:631. I do not actually have access to these printers, I can't delete them from within the web interface. When I try to delete them, the Delete Printer button is a link to IP address of the printer, not to localhost. For example, my IP address 10.3.1.40, and one of these printers show up as i9900 and the device URI is ipp://ip-3-1-216.utica.edu:631/printers/i9900. The Delete Printer button is a link to http://ip-3-1-216.utica.edu:631/admin/?op=delete-printerprinter_name=i9900; and I get a Forbidden error when it tried to connect to 10.3.1.216. I can't delete the /etc/printcap file because it just comes back the next time I restart cups. I have removed and purged all cups packages, deleted the /etc/cups and /var/run/cups directories and the /etc/printcap file, reinstalled, and the same thing happens. I have edited /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, turned browsing off and restarted cups, but it continues to find these same printers and place them into the file. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is cups just plain broken right now, or can this be corrected? Thanks!

Re: Weird cups problems
Thanks for your reply, George. Whenever I start cups, it puts several random network printers located in other people's offices into my /etc/printcap file and they show up when I go to localhost:631. There is an option in the config file to stop this happening (can't remember which one.) Reading through the documentation, the Browsing option seemed to apply to this, so I turned it off but it had no effect. I do not actually have access to these printers, I can't delete them from within the web interface. When I try to delete them, the Delete Printer button is a link to IP address of the printer, not to localhost. For example, my IP address 10.3.1.40, and one of these printers show up as i9900 and the device URI is ipp://ip-3-1-216.utica.edu:631/printers/i9900. The Delete Printer button is a link to http://ip-3-1-216.utica.edu:631/admin/?op=delete-printerprinter_name=i9900; and I get a Forbidden error when it tried to connect to 10.3.1.216. Your issue is probably similar to this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323796 If so, you can get around it by entering URL by hand and I tried manually altering the URL to go to localhost and it seemed to work, but the printer was still in the list when I went back to the Printers screen. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is cups just plain broken right now, or can this be corrected? Dude, if this is your biggest problem with cups right now then you are lucky. Apparently it is really broken in Testing/Unstable for some people at the moment. Not my biggest problem, just my latest one. :-) Hope this helps, Indeed it did.

Xorg and Intel 945G problem
Hello, I have a Dell GX620 with an integrated Intel 945G graphics chipset, and I am attempting to run Debian sid amd64 on it. I used 'X -configure' to create an xorg.conf file, in which it creates the following Device section: Section Device ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: i: integer, f: float, bool: True/False, ### string: String, freq: f Hz/kHz/MHz ### [arg]: arg optional #Option NoAccel # [bool] #Option SWcursor # [bool] #Option ColorKey # i #Option CacheLines# i #Option Dac6Bit # [bool] #Option DRI # [bool] #Option NoDDC # [bool] #Option ShowCache # [bool] #Option XvMCSurfaces # i #Option PageFlip # [bool] Identifier Card0 Driver i810 VendorName Intel Corporation BoardName 945G Integrated Graphics Controller BusID PCI:0:2:0 EndSection However, when I try to start X using this configuration, I get the following message and it dies: (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found Googling on this has revealed a variety of issues, but most of them did not appear to be the cause of this. What seems to be causing this is the fact that the onboard display is apparently divided into two distinct devices: ip-3-1-216:~# lspci | grep 'Graphics' :00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 945G/P PCI Express Graphics Port (rev 02) :00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) :00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) I tried adding a second Device section to the config file and changing the bus to PCI:0:2:1 but the result is still the same. When I was using etch, Xorg worked just fine. I upgraded to sid so I could install KDE, and that's when Xorg broke. Does anyone have any ideas about how this can be solved? Thanks!

Re: Debian for AMD64
Have most packages been ported to the amd64 architecture, or is there a limited selection? Check out http://buildd.debian.org/stats/ Yes, most packages have been ported. I found the amd64 testing version here: http://amd64.debian.net/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/beta2/images/ But I wasn't sure if most packages had been ported to use the 64-bit OS. Any problems there? AMD64 is now an official Debian port. At least unstable should be as usable as any other port. AFAIK testing is still not completely built. Guys, Thanks for the responses, this is all very helpful! I read through the documentation and most of it makes sense. Running a few apps in a 32-bit chroot isn't a big deal. The only part of the how-to that I didn't understand was the installer part. Why do you need to set up a 64-bit chroot environment before installing the base OS? Thanks!

Debian for AMD64
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has used the AMD64 testing version of Debian on a 64-bit Pentium D processor, and if there was any word on how stable it is? I may be getting a new PC here at work with a Pentium D in it, but if I don't run 64-bit Debian on it, I might as well stick with my 32-bit P4 that's working just fine. Thanks!

Re: Debian for AMD64
Been running Sarge for a year on a genuine AMD Opteron. Have Debian unstable on several Opterons, a dual Xeon and Pentium D. The Pentium D feels faster but may have a faster clock speed / dynamically faster memory / peripherals. Not been running these for very long at all - but no obvious problems. AMD64 - no problem :) The caveat is what level of package churn you can tolerate - unstable moves very quickly, testing less so, stable hardly at all. Pick one and stick with it :) Andy Thanks for the info! That leads me to my next question... Have most packages been ported to the amd64 architecture, or is there a limited selection?

Re: Permanently swapping a key
I have an old laptop which I installed Debian on, but then discovered that the control key (CTRL) does not work at all. I can solve this by swapping control with the unused Windows key and using that key instead. I was able to reassign CTRL to the Windows key in X using xmodmap as follows (Super_L is the unused Windows key): xmodmap -e remove Control = Control_L xmodmap -e remove Control = Control_R xmodmap -e remove mod4 = Super_L xmodmap -e keycode 115 = Super_L xmodmap -e add Control = Super_L The problem is that this only works in X, and I would like to permanently reassign CTRL to the Windows key for console mode as well. I was able to get it to remap these keys on boot, both in X and in the console. In case anyone else is interested, this is what I did (I'll indent commands and file contents for readability): First, to remap the control key to the Windows key in X every time the X server is started, I added a new script to the /etc/X11/Xsession.d directory (I called it 60x11-custom-keys) containing the following: # Set Windows key (Super_L) to be CTRL (Control) xmodmap -e remove Control = Control_L xmodmap -e remove Control = Control_R xmodmap -e remove mod4 = Super_L xmodmap -e keycode 115 = Super_L xmodmap -e add Control = Super_L Second, I modified the default console keymap file /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz (I backed up the original, of course). I uncompressed the file and edited it: gunzip /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz vi /etc/console/boottime.kmap Then I changed the following lines: keycode 29 = Control keycode 97 = Control keycode 125 = keycode 126 = To: keycode 29 = Help altgr control keycode 29 = VoidSymbol shift alt keycode 29 = VoidSymbol keycode 97 = Help altgr control keycode 97 = VoidSymbol shift alt keycode 97 = VoidSymbol keycode 125 = Control keycode 126 = Control I then gzipped the file again and reloaded it: gzip /etc/console/boottime.kmap loadkeys /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz And now my Windows key in my CTRL key all the time. - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Department of Integrated Information Technology Services Data Processing Office (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Promise Ultra133 TX2
Hello, Has anyone ever gotten the Promise Ultra133 TX2 IDE controller card to work well in sarge? I tried, but I/O with the drive attached to it was unstable at best, and eventually it just didn't work at all. I ended up with all sorts of CRC errors in my logs, and the drive would only mount read-only. I took out the card and connected the drive directly to the motherboard and it works fine. I was using the card because I the drive supports ATA100 and I was hoping to take advantage of that.

Re: Promise card
Thanks for your reply. It's probably not worth having you switch out your cards right now, but the offer is appreciated. What kind of drives do you have connected to your Ultra 100 cards? I should have mentioned before that this was a Western Digital 120 GB drive w/ 8 MB buffer, connected to the Ultra 133 as the primary master. It was recognized as /dev/hde when Debian booted, but it was really a game of chance as to whether or not it would be writable or even mountable. The filesystem was a single JFS partition (/dev/hde1), it's the data drive for MythTV. Thanks, Dave Parker uniqx wrote: I know you asked about the 133, but I am using the Promise Ultra 100 --on two debian systems -- and they work great.
