SCSI times out with Jaz drive

1997-06-28 Thread Martin Brundage

I am having a problem with my new Jaz drive on my 6X86 p200+ system
with Debian 1.2. When I do a recursive copy of a large number of files
to an IDE drive my AHA-2940 times out occasionally, although it seems
to always recover and finish the copy.  I am using stock 2.0.27 kernel
with all SCSI options (except tape support) compiled into the kernel.
Has anyone seen this problem?

See below for the console output.  Thanks for any info.

Marty

I've had very good results with ddd and gdb, which should be sufficient
for user-space debugging.  For debugging driver code I have used this
combination with gdbstub (ftp://ftp.gcom.com/pub/linux/src/gdbstub/) and
an old 486 as a remote debugger.

Re: IP Masq

Michl, you need the ipfwadm utility. (http://www.xos.nl/linux/ipfwadm/)
Also see a July 1996 LJ article on this subject.

Hmm, having some problems.  For IP Masq to work on a debian machine, and
to have all the ip_masq* modules included, what do I pick in the kernel
config?  I have always assumed you only need to turn on ip
forwarding/gatewaying (CONFIG_IP_FORWARD) in the kernel config to have all
the IP_masq modules installed and have ip_masq active in the kernel.  But,
when I install the new kernel  and do a modprobe for any of the ip_masq*.o
modules they do not exist.  ???

PPP tutorial (was Re: Why is PPP so screwed up!?!?!)

Now, as things seem to stand now, the ppp part seems like almost an after-
thought (as far as its importance to the effective operation of dselect 
goes). The base install seems to be more targeted to people with: A) a
live internet connection, B) Debian on CD, or C) The Debian distribution
on another filesystem or NFS. However, like I mentioned, of the people I 
deal with each day, about 5% of the Debian newbies fall into that group.
It seems appropriate to mention Occam's Razor at this point, y'know?

Joe,

I agree the installation and setup needs more polish in this and other
areas. In the meantime, however, you might want to check out a the
tutorial on PPP setup in the latest Linux Journal (April issue).
