[expert] Suspected FS corruption bug
Hi, I'm beginning to suspect that there may be a bug in the stock mandrake kernel that causes file system corruption. (I installed mandrake7.0 almost a week ago now.) Eg. I downloaded star office to my home directory and then su'd and copy'd the file to the directory I wanted to install it in. I untarred it and installed it; had some problems with kde integration so figured I'd just reinstall it. ( I was tired ok! ) However the second time I untarred it I got crc errors. So I copied it back from my home dir and untarred it and it worked. However half way through the install I got crc errors while extracting files (I had previously removed the old install and setup directories so there were no preexisting files there). So I downloaded it again and it worked fine for about two hours then some lib's started getting corrupted and it refused to load, it would immediately segfault. So I completely deleted it and the install directory and untarred it again and ran it and got crc errors. Anyways I ended up downloading it again and reinstalling it. Then I was tired so I shutdown the computer normally with "shutdown -h now" I waited until it was done and went to bed. When I fired up the computer today I got alot of errors on the root drive and a nasty fsck. If this is fs corruption as a result of a bug in the kernel or something else is there a way that I can specifically test this?

[expert] Bug in dynamic linker
Hi, I've just upgraded to 7.0 (from 6.1) and I've been trying to get my
Unreal Tournament server running again. However, the system just won't
have it. Here's the error message:
[root@sl6ww System]# ./ucc server
BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 57: elf_get_dynamic_info:
Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!
The UnrealTournament executable doesn't run either, though it never really
could load the game completely. However, now it just crashes the instant
it is run:
[root@sl6ww System]# ./UnrealTournament
elf_core_dump: file-f_pos (94299) != offset (94208)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
But, that's beside the point... I just need the dedicated server 'ucc' to
work. Looking on deja.com others have had this bug effecting staroffice
and something 'just after init.'
ld output:
[root@sl6ww System]# ldd ucc
BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 57: elf_get_dynamic_info:
Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!
ldd: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 exited with unknown exit code (127)

write(2, "! \"bad dynamic tag\"", 19! "bad dynamic tag") = 19
write(2, "\' failed!\n", 10' failed!
)= 10
_exit(127) = ?
Ok, maybe that info is useless on this list and should go to the unreal/ld
people. Anyway, how can I fix such a problem? How do I install a working
version of ld.so? Can I just go and install the rpm from mandrake 6.1
again, or will that couse problems? Thanks.
Oh yeah, the version of ld.so currently installed is 1.9.5 release 13mdk.

If it doesn't repair or errors out of the fscks no matter what, your Hdd is due for that last ride If it repairs but immediately shows errors when you boot it or after two or three boots then perhaps there is a bug everyone wants to know about. However this is the most unlikely of the three since the routines that handle the filesystem are the nearly the oldest and certainly most stable of all and only the drivers are updated.

I'm beginning to suspect that there may be a bug in the stock mandrake kernel that causes file system corruption. (I installed mandrake7.0 almost a week ago now.) Eg. I downloaded star office to my home directory and then su'd and copy'd the file to the directory I wanted to install it in. I untarred it and installed it; had some problems with kde integration so figured I'd just reinstall it. ( I was tired ok! ) However the second time I untarred it I got crc errors. So I copied it back from my home dir and untarred it and it worked. However half way through the install I got crc errors while extracting files (I had previously removed the old install and setup directories so there were no preexisting files there). So I downloaded it again and it worked fine for about two hours then some lib's started getting corrupted and it refused to load, it would immediately segfault. So I completely deleted it and the install directory and untarred it again and ran it and got crc errors. Anyways I ended up downloading it again and reinstalling it. Then I was tired so I shutdown the computer normally with "shutdown -h now" I waited until it was done and went to bed. When I fired up the computer today I got alot of errors on the root drive and a nasty fsck. If this is fs corruption as a result of a bug in the kernel or something else is there a way that I can specifically test this?

Actually, I did an upgrade from Helios to Air this morning; my SBLive! worked, as you predicted, automatically. There were a couple of other anomalies, though: 1. The graphical config of X Window was flaky. It kept telling me my configuration was wrong (I have an Optiquest V95 and a Creative GraphicsBlaster RIVA TNT w/ 16 mb memory). Somehow, I finally got it to accept settings that were much more modest than what my monitor card are capable of. But, when I booted, my X server kept crashing before it could launch, due to an "improper configuration." Replacing the upgrade-generated XF86Config with the backup of my old one cured the problem. I'm now running at 1280x1024 @ 32bpp, just like I have since my original Venus install, although the Air graphical install said my system was incapable of such a resolution (interestingly, when the X server crashed after my 1st boot of the upgrade, it told me that my system was incapable of 24 bpp, which is the depth the installer forced me to choose, i.e., no greater depth would be accepted). 2. In /var/log/messages, the following message repeats ad infinitum: starbaby kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0 I assume this is due to Supermount. I can use the floppy. It's lioght stays on all the time, so I unmounted it. 3. Although I use Gnome/sawmill, root and my wife use KDE. KFM crashes _alot_ now, although it never did before. 4. My mouse is no konger working in the console, although gpm is running. I'm wondering if upgrading, as opposed to a fresh install, led to these problems. /b - Barry Marler Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology University of Georgia (706)542-0742 (706)542-0059 (fax)

I have an older colorado 250mb qic80 tape drive and cannot seem to get it working under linux (works fine under w98, was working fine on the win3.1 box I swiped it from, it is on the supported hardware list). when i do an insmod, nothing happens [root@linux1 alex]# insmod ftape [root@linux1 alex]# mt rewind /dev/tape: No such file or directory [root@linux1 alex]# mt -f /dev/ftape rewind /dev/ftape: No such device [root@linux1 alex]# ls -la /dev/ftape lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 Jan 9 16:09 /dev/ftape - rft0 [root@linux1 alex]# ls -la /dev/rft0 lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 Jan 9 17:24 /dev/rft0 - qft0 [root@linux1 alex]# ls -la /dev/qft0 crw---1 root root 27, 0 Jan 9 17:24 /dev/qft0 [root@linux1 alex]# modprobe -c # This file was generated by: modprobe -c (2.1.121) path[misc]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[pcmcia]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[video]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[fc4]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[sound]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[ipv6]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[ipv4]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[cdrom]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[block]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[scsi]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[net]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[fs]=/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk path[misc]=/lib/modules/default path[pcmcia]=/lib/modules/default path[video]=/lib/modules/default path[fc4]=/lib/modules/default path[sound]=/lib/modules/default path[ipv6]=/lib/modules/default path[ipv4]=/lib/modules/default path[cdrom]=/lib/modules/default path[block]=/lib/modules/default path[scsi]=/lib/modules/default path[net]=/lib/modules/default path[fs]=/lib/modules/default path[misc]=/lib/modules path[pcmcia]=/lib/modules path[video]=/lib/modules path[fc4]=/lib/modules path[sound]=/lib/modules path[ipv6]=/lib/modules path[ipv4]=/lib/modules path[cdrom]=/lib/modules path[block]=/lib/modules path[scsi]=/lib/modules path[net]=/lib/modules path[fs]=/lib/modules # Aliases alias eth0 tulip alias midi awe_wave alias sound sb alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias binfmt-2 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-0107 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-204 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-263 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-264 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-267 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-387 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-332 iBCS alias binfmt-310 binfmt_java alias block-major-1 rd alias block-major-2 floppy alias block-major-3 ide-probe alias block-major-7 loop alias block-major-8 sd_mod alias block-major-11 sr_mod alias block-major-13 xd alias block-major-15 cdu31a alias block-major-16 gscd alias block-major-17 optcd alias block-major-18 sjcd alias block-major-20 mcdx alias block-major-22 ide-probe alias block-major-23 mcd alias block-major-24 sonycd535 alias block-major-25 sbpcd alias block-major-26 sbpcd alias block-major-27 sbpcd alias block-major-29 aztcd alias block-major-32 cm206 alias block-major-33 ide-probe alias block-major-34 ide-probe alias char-major-4 serial alias char-major-5 serial alias char-major-6 lp alias char-major-9 st alias char-major-10 misc alias char-major-10-0 busmouse alias char-major-10-1 psaux alias char-major-10-2 msbusmouse alias char-major-10-3 atixlmouse alias char-major-10-4 amigamouse alias char-major-10-5 atarimouse alias char-major-10-130 wdt alias char-major-10-131 wdt alias char-major-10-135 off alias char-major-10-139 openprom alias char-major-14 sound alias char-major-19 cyclades alias char-major-20 cyclades alias char-major-21 sg alias char-major-27 ftape alias char-major-34 scc alias char-major-35 tclmidi alias char-major-36 netlink alias char-major-37 ide-tape alias char-major-48 riscom8 alias char-major-49 riscom8 alias char-major-63 kdebug alias dos msdos alias dummy0 dummy alias dummy1 dummy alias eth0 off alias iso9660 isofs alias md-personality-1 linear I have tried including ftape directly in the kernel, but that gives the same results on a mt command.

Re: [expert] What is going on?
Ronyou've certainly got a point. I've installed Air (7.0) on three machines and attempted to install it on a fourth. I've since removed it from the first machine as that was just a dry run on a machine with some disc space, to test the release for major install problems before I committed my main system to the new release. I next installed Air (7.0) on my main machine, in an extra partition to further test it. Then, when I experienced no problems, I installed it over 6.1 on that machine and am now using Air (7.0) as my main system. Next I installed Air (7.0) over Helios (6.1) on my modem server and had to remove it and reinstall 6.1 because of problems with 7.0's ppp. Finally I attempted an Air (7.0) install on my wife's machine over her Venus (6.0) installation. It failed at the point of initializing the cdrom. I made a boot disc to use the text install and it failed too, at initializing the cdrom. I then installed Helios (6.1) on that machine (to see if it would have any problems) without a hitch. So, I agree that there are definitely major problems with the Air (7.0) release.

Even a few chat sessions online to plan the testing/standards/objectives, to imagineer it if you will, would improve the relations between Mandrake and some of the testers and users which seem to be becoming strained in the headlong rush to move product. Quality of what is moved is equally important to getting it on the shelf. Of course. Above all, satisfied customers are the only route to success. It really is just that simple. BUT, first you have to learn to listen and expand your inventory of perspectives. I have no alternative but to wait for L-M 7.1. 7.0 was just some kind of botched rehearsal. -- Regards, Ron.

If on the off chance you don't see the "alias sound emu10k1" in your conf.modules on the first boot contact me so i can find out what went wrong please. Actually, I did an upgrade from Helios to Air this morning; my SBLive! worked, as you predicted, automatically. There were a couple of other anomalies, though: Good, i thought Chmouel and Pixel did a nasty hack to make me crazy :) 1. The graphical config of X Window was flaky. It kept telling me my configuration was wrong (I have an Optiquest V95 and a Creative GraphicsBlaster RIVA TNT w/ 16 mb memory). Somehow, I finally got it to accept settings that were much more modest than what my monitor card are capable of. But, when I booted, my X server kept crashing before it could launch, due to an "improper configuration." Replacing the upgrade-generated XF86Config with the backup of my old one cured the problem. I'm now running at 1280x1024 @ 32bpp, just like I have since my original Venus install, although the Air graphical install said my system was incapable of such a resolution (interestingly, when the X server crashed after my 1st boot of the upgrade, it told me that my system was incapable of 24 bpp, which is the depth the installer forced me to choose, i.e., no greater depth would be accepted). could you diff them please, or just send em both to Pixel 2. In /var/log/messages, the following message repeats ad infinitum: starbaby kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0 I assume this is due to Supermount. I can use the floppy. It's lioght stays on all the time, so I unmounted it. While Chmouel was at LSB i hacked those error messages off to syslog insstead of console. I don't remeber why they were put back exactly, good-reason or oversight one of the two :/ 3. Although I use Gnome/sawmill, root and my wife use KDE. KFM crashes _alot_ now, although it never did before. File a bug report on Package: kdebase It's the easiest fastest way tobe sure David sees it 4. My mouse is no konger working in the console, although gpm is running. Hmm i forget what info pixel needs for this :) Do you start runlevel 5? (XFree, maybe imwheel tweeks my mouse and i have to restart gpm after X) serial ps/2 or usb? (and all that other type tuff) I'm wondering if upgrading, as opposed to a fresh install, led to these problems. /b - Barry Marler Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology University of Georgia (706)542-0742 (706)542-0059 (fax) -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon

[expert] Missing 'egcs' in egcs packages for Mandrake 7.0!!
Has anyone else installed the egcs packages in Mandrake 7.0, and actually gotten the program 'egcs' to be installed? I've looked in all of the egcs-* packages, and have been unable to find 'egcs'! I had Redhat 6.1 installed on my machine, previous to doing a clean install of Mandrake 7.0, and had no problems using egcs. In fact, I used the kpackage manager tool to look at the contents of the egcs packages on the RedHat 6.1 CD, and the program /usr/bin/egcs is included, whereas for Mandrake 7.0, it is NOT! Should I install the RedHat 6.1 versions of egcs into Mandrake 7.0? I'm a little hesitant because I don't want to break anything! Any clues would be appreciated ... Thanks, Tom
