A bizarre problem in the boot scripts

2006-05-24 Thread Leopold Palomo Avellaneda
Hi,

I have a problem with a Dell poweredge 1800. My box has the Sata Raid 
controller from Dell and the linux support is on the recent kernels >2.6.10 
and >2.4.27, I think ...at least, the sarge cd inst doesn't recognize the 
controller and the hds.

I installed a Sarge and configured the raid system and put a 2.6.12 from 
testing (some months ago). More or less, all was working like a charm during 
this weeks. Howeber, I had big electrify cut and the server was poweroff 
suddenly.

My problems began then. Although I did all the fsck tests and no problem, the 
system when reboots stop in some point of the initscripts, after mount all 
the partitions without any error. After many tests and no success and 
installed a installed a 2.6.16 from backports but nothing was solved. I'm 
really desperately because I really don't know how to solve this issue. 

The only way that I have to boot is to boot from a cd, comment the /usr 
partition on the fstab, reboot the box, then an error on the rcS scripts 
occurs, but continues. Log in to the box, mount the /usr partition, an do a 
rc 2, and then all is ok.

I'm not a senior in the system administration but I understand that the boot 
procedure begins to execute all the scripts (in alphabetically order SXX) on 
the /etc/rcS.d/ directory and after, depending on the inittab mode, goes to 
the /etc/rcX.d/ directory and executes the rest of the scripts. Is this 
correct this explication?

Otherwise, I would like to ask how I can know what is happens? I have modified 
almost all the boot scripts putting flags saying echo "I' doing this .." and 
my box is hanged in the bootmisc.sh script. There's a deadlock in this point, 
in the bootclean mountall but I don't understand what is happens. I don't 
know if is about the udev of the > 2.6.12 kernels and the mountvirtfs, or 
what. I really have NO idea. Please, could someone tell me at least how can I 
try to find the dammed problem?

Thank's in advance,

Leo

Pd please, CC to me, I'm not in this list :-(

Udev, hotplug dispatcher

2006-02-08 Thread Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda
Hi,

I'm having a problem with the udev and I'm really lost. I had I box that I 
upgrade from stable to tesing/sid (I like very much kde 3.5 ...). However, I 
realized that after the upgrade I had I problem with the kernels 2.6.12 and 
2.6.15. (also 2.6.8) When I rebooted the box, then the udev service cannot 
start and I have to do manually ctrl+c and when the boot is finished, then I 
can start the service. After some ideas and help from the debian-kde list [1] 
I finally decided to begin from zero and reinstall the complete box.

I could  install without any problems but if I update the kernel to the 
2.6.12, then the udev is stopping again in the same point. And I say 
stopping, not doing a pause of 60 seconds...

I have looked in google, list, etc and I really don't know how to solve this. 
I have found  (in slackware list) that is a problem with the rules files that 
detect bas terminals, but no solutions.  Please, could someone light me and 
give me some idea about this bizarre problem.

Regards,

Leo

Fetchmail + spamassassin + exim

2005-07-25 Thread Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda
Hi,

some time ago I installed a little server at home to use it as firewall and 
mailserver. I got the mail using fetchmail, scanned with spamassassin and the 
delivered and filter with exim. Something that a lot of pages have explained. 
I'm using sarge in a P100 with 64Mb of ram. Little server!!!.

In general, allworks quiet well, and also I can have mail directly. But 
sometimes (and now, every day) I have frozen messages, and I don't know why, 
because this frozen messages exim cannot delivered it to a local account!!.

One typical log is:

I have found this error in one spamassassin bug report, but in teory is was 
solved by upstream one year ago. I don't understand what happens and I don't 
know if it's a bug in exim or spamassassin, so I don't know where to report 
it.

Someone have some idea about what could I do?

thank's in advance,

Leo
