RE: sblive 'n debian
I had no problem getting this card to run under Debian slink (kernel 2.0.36) or Debian potato (kernel 2.2.10). the install script doesn't work, but following the included directions was pretty simpleAlso...I had success with both the old driver (sblive.o) and the new one (emu10k1.o). I don't know how it compares to other cards, except that in Win98, midis sound a whole lot better...haven't tried any in linux, yet =:-] Josh Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Peter Moody Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 8:49 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: sblive 'n debian is there anyone out there who has gotten this card to run under debian? I'm currently running rh 6.0 for no other reason than because the install script for the sblive actually works for redhat. I had debian up and running for a while, but I couldn't get sound going and I got tired of havin 600 megs of mp3s (not to mention games) that wouldn't work (properly). someone told me that I had to flash the card or something, maybe run setserial or what not to get the card working properlly. _ANY_ help will be greatly appreciated. thanks. -peter -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
apt question
I'd like apt to look at my cd's before looking at the rest of the sites in my sorces.list, but while I can get it to look at one cd, I can't get it to look at the second (Official Debian CD's) If I use symlinks to repoint the Packages file to Packages.cd on the second CD, it will find the packages locally, but when I try to install, if they are on the first disk, it can't find them and errors out...is there a way to get it to ask to switch cd's like the multicd access method does? a patch perhaps? -- Josh Miller ICQ UIN: 4405266 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
WinNT boot code
A couple days ago I was installing Debian 2.1 and came across something that might cause people problems...My first partition is NTFS, and I'm running NT 4. When I was creating my / partition during the Debian install, I had the option to flag it active, so not thinking, I did. Upon rebooting, I got Invalid Partition Table Turns out, the WinNT boot code halts if you have more then one partition marked active, which I now had. Unmarking the partition solved the problem. I was just thinking it might be nice to put in a check for Microsoft boot code and warn you about that when you try to mark a second partition active, at least during the initial installation. If this is already documented...sorry, but I didn't see it =:-] -- Josh Miller ICQ UIN: 4405266 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
