Kernel hangs on sound module
Using the debian kernel image 2.4.18 (or 16, 17, etc) I try and insert the module for my sound card (es1371), the kernel hangs. No oops, no messages anywhere, other than a being told loading the module was a success. I have to press the reboot switch to get the machine going again. I pulled out my es1371 sound card and turn onboard audio back on (via82cxxx_audio). When the module is inserted, the kernel hangs again. The last line I see is ac97_codec : AC97 Audio Codec, ID : 0x4943:0x4511 (ICE1232). No other modules are causing problems. So I compiled my own 2.4.19 kernel and built via82cxxx_audio into the kernel. The kernel again hangs when it reaches the sound card. This machine has been running woody for over a year without problems. When woody was released I installed a new HD and a clean new copy of woody. I think this problem happend then, but I rebooted and it went away. I've rebooted many times since then, same kernel, and never had this issue. Now it won't go away. The only other symptom of a problem I have found is that if I tried and boot using the debian kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4, the kernel hangs when partition check appears on the screen. It seems like the partition check is finished, but it just hangs there. The es1371 sound card is now working happily in another woody machine. My onboard sound card works fine if I boot into windows XP (XP is on a different HD). Some information about my system is below. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

XMMS bug
Running debian woody 2.4.12 I use XMMS all the time and have never had a problem with it. Today I decided to play around with plug-ins so I did a apt-get install `apt-cache search xmms plugin | cut -f1 --delimiter=\ |sed s#smpeg-xmms##` to get all the plugin packages. I did the sed part since smpeg-xmms wouldn't install because libsdl1.2 wasn't availible. Once all the packages are installed and I try to run xmms I get a segmentation fault. If I do remove with the command above to remove all plug ins, then xmms runs fine. I don't have time right now to go through each plug in to see which crashes xmms, but I was wondering if anyone else has thing problem. Steven
Re: dpkg hiding packages?
how does those tools should be used then? presently, if I want to find out application XYZ is available I dpkg -l '*XYZ*' and check the result. if i want something from the list, i then apt-get XYZ-whatever thanks Atleast on my system, dpkg -l XYZ will look for a package already on my system by that name. If I want to know about a package XYZ that isn't on my system I use apt-cache search XYZ then do apt-get install XYZ If I want the details on package XYZ, before I install it, I do apt-cache show XYZ.

Lexmark E210 Printer
I am runing Woody, kernel 2.4.9, using CUPS for printing. I just got a Lexmark E210 laser printer which is supported under linux. They want you to install their ghostscript rpm(or source) and then a cups ppd to use the printer. I have not been able to get the ghostscript package to work under debian. I've used Alien - I then had to use dpkg to force the remove of gs, and then I installed the lemark ghostscript package (the lexmark package conflicted with gs). The alien'ed package doesn't work properly in place of the debian gs package, apt/dpkg become broken because they want to re-install gs. I've tried installing the Lexmark ghostscript from source but it won't compile and if it did I think I'd have the same dependancy problems. Any suggestions?
Re: ne driver in kernel 2.2
Does anyone have any tips to getting a no-name ISA NE?000 clone working with Sid? I does work fine as I rebooted to Mandrake and used it... Is it a PNP card? If so you need to use the isapnp tools. Otherwise the card should have jumpers on it and you can set them to whatever IO and IRQ you want and ignore everything below. Run $ pnpdump -c -o isaconfig You may have to edit the file isaconfig, commenting out the line (ISOLATE PRESERVE) Then run $ isapnp isaconfig Then try $ modprobe ne io=0x where the io is the number that pnpdump reports in the isaconfig file.

Re: woody and php4
I don't have that problem. I installed php4 and edited the apache conf file to enable php4 (the module and the extenions), it worked right away. Now the php4-mysql isn't in woody, but I just grabbed the sid version and its working just fine.

Re: /etc/network/interfaces file
You can read man interfaces for the full details, but this is what it
should be...
# Configure ethernet interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.10.10.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.10.10.255
The auto eth1 tells it to start on boot up, the iface configures eth1
as a inet (TCP/IP) static address. Then of course the next lines are
what that address should be.

Remote logins
Hi, I'm running a Debian testing and another machine with stable. I'm trying to setup the machine so only certain users can login in remotely with the sshd, right now any user can. After poking around /etc/security/access.conf seems to be what I want to edit. But I can't seem to get it working and I don't see any other instructions for it, other than the comments in the file. After reading it seems to me that doing - : ALL : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL should stop everyone from logging in remotely, however it seems to have no effect. Either the above is wrong or something needs to be reset for the changes to take affect. The entire system has been rebooted so I can't see that being it. Does the program login have to be edited in some fashion? Or is the directory /etc/security the wrong place to be looking? Steven

Re: IRQ: how to find out which is to be used?
To find which IRQ a ISA PnP card is using, you need to use the ISA PnP
tools. I think it might even be installed with a default debian setup.
run pnpdump and it will scan for cards and tell you everything you need
to know about the device to get it running.
Of course refer to the manfiles (man pnpdump ; man isapnp) or the isapnp
website http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/
Here is part of the results pnpdump returns for me (I have one ISA NIC)
(CONFIGURE PNP0060/5931815 (LD 0
# Compatible device id PNP80d6
# Logical device decodes 10 bit IO address lines
# Minimum IO base address 0x0200
# Maximum IO base address 0x03e0
# IO base alignment 32 bytes
# Number of IO addresses required: 32
# (IO 0 (SIZE 32) (BASE 0x0200) (CHECK))
# IRQ 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 or 15.
# High true, edge sensitive interrupt
# (INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E)))
(NAME PNP0060/5931815[0]{NE2000 PLUG PLAY ETHERNET CARD})
If you just want to know the IRQ (INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E))) is all you
need to find. My card is on IRQ 3.

I have internal modem (real one, it works, the question is not about

It is ISA PnP card, can use different IRQs.

tools?
the only way I can do it now is boot windows and peek into control
panel|system (btw it uses either 9 or 11)
Have you taken a look at dmesg yet? I know it shows the irq's
of my network cards. Also you can cat /proc/interupts.
boot messages:
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
so it's completely useless, it just sets it to 'standard' values, I
have to manually set it to proper IRQ (I put a line into
/etc/serial.conf)
/proc/interrupts:
the same, it just shows whatever I set. AFAIK it only shows actually
received interrupts, so unless I really use the modem it wouldn't show
anything, and to use modem I need to know interrupts.
isn't there a way to find that out? I don't know how windows do it but
they are able to figure it out somehow.

Re: eth0 on kernel 2.2.17
eth0 isn't suppose to be in /dev If your driver is loaded properly then all you have to do is ifconfig eth0 ipaddress netmask up to configure the device and get it running. Do man ifconfig for details. To have debian configure it automatically on boot up edit /etc/network/interfaces. I would point you to the howto for detail, however I can't remember where the right one is off hand.

I have no hdc and hdd however its probing for them, why? This takes a fair bit of time since there are no HDs there and I have never seen this before (although I don't have much experience :-) One last thing my HD has that might be causing a problem is that is has EZ-BIOS from Maxtor installed (this loads before lilo). Its not something I need, however I can't get rid of it. It was installed long ago when this machine had another HD and needed EZ-BIOS to recognize the 10GB HD. I removed the Maxtor HD awhile ago, however EZ-BIOS won't uninstall because it can no longer find a Maxtor HD attached to the computer.
