Re: sblive
I was having similar problems until I tried creative's drivers. You can get them at http://opensource.creative.com Just compile you kernel with modular sound support and support for the OSS sound modules without selecting the emu10k1 module.

Problems with I/O to Syquest Sparq
I am trying to acces my parallel Syquest Sparq 1GB drive. I'm running kernel 2.4.2 with the epat, pd, and paride compiled as modules. The BIOS is set to use EPP and I'm mounting /dev/pda1. Now I can mount /dev/pda1 no problem and I can do an 'ls' and get output no problem. However when I try to erase anything from or write anything to the drive the process goes into an uninteruptible sleep mode (ps shows D) which cannot be killed. Rebooting is not possible either. dmesg shows the following message over and over again: pda: do_pd_write_drq: status = 0x10050 = SEEK READY TMO Does anybody know what is happening?

LI at boot after making \boot reiserfs
I seem to have messed up now. I just made all my partitions except for / reiserfs (this includes /boot). Now when I try to boot the computer Lilo doesn't get past LI and just sits there. Of course I do not have a rescue disk that will allow me to mount a reiser partition, so I'm stuck. I assume that I would have to rerun lilo to get out of this, however since lilo can't read /boot/boot.d it cannot update. Also of importance was thæt I forgot to add the notail option for /boot in fstab, however I did change this after I rebooted with standard rescue disk.

Re: Web based administration, how?
It is probably webmin, which can be invoked by typing http://localhost:1 in your webbrowser. Pascal On Wed, Oct 11, 2000 at 11:24:51PM -0400, Rafael E.

glibc dependencies problem
Hi, I tried installing the kde2 packages from the woody tree into my potato distribution and it seems to have upgraded the glibc. The install was faulty otherwise too. Some of the packages couldn't be configures due to independencies (not sure what failed anymore). Now I'm trying to get my system back to where it was before but that seems to be a problem. First of all ldconfig has disappeared but apt-get tells me that package ldso is installed. Next whenever I try to do anything with apt-get it now gives me the dependency problems for glibc versions. Here is an output of the program: mems159:/home/paashaas# apt-get install ldso Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, ldso is already the newest version You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: abbrowser: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.93) but 2.1.3-10 is to be installed amor: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.93) but 2.1.3-10 is to be installed .. E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I someone has a suggestion.
