Re: [expert] setting IRQ on a pci card
Hoyt, Actually I posted a message to the group asking if anyone had seen an error message I FINALLY got. There was only one message of it in Google and it seemed to point to DMA. Todd being the helpful soul he is found the error message in the kernel (/usr/src/linux/char/devices/drm_40/i810_dma.c). I did some comparison between the stock Win4Lin kernel used in 8.1 and 8.2 and found that somewhere around 2.4.10 (I read the changelogs from 2.4.8 to 2.4.18 ) DRM 4.1 was added to the kernel. BUT the old DRM was still there. Posted it back Todd noticed that the config file had a mention of using old DRM and I started playing with Kernel configs. Don't know who to tell about this or where to place a bug report. It seems to be inherent in the kernel not Mandrake. I installed RH 7.3 and FreeBSD on partitions on this box and RH is even flakier than Mandrake. FreeBSD doesn't use DRM 4.1 and sits there like a rock. Put 2 and 2 together crossed my fingers Patched a kernel myself and ... it worked. Can't say how long it will stay up yet. It's been hovering around 100 daytime in the valley and I've been shutting the box off during the day for it's/my sake. Really glad this helped. This to me means 3 chipsets that the new DRM doesn't work well with. Intel i810, i815 and the AMD chipset you have. Both my boxes, one with the i810 chipset and one with the i815 have gone solid. This is why my servers all run 2.2.20.

Re: [expert] trouble with libopenssl0 upgrade
Two thoughts. 1. Don't use Fvh or Uvh with a kernel do ivh always install never upgrade. 2 Did you get a httpd.conf.rpmnew when you upgraded ssl?

If I am doing an *Upgrade* on a package, I use the U switch, and, if I want to freshen up, I take a bath, i.e. what the hell doesfreshen mean with regards to upgrading software?

Is this normal? Dale Huckeby Hi! I have a couple of suggestions. The fisrt is a mattere if nettiquite. When sending a message to a list such as this one, and it is not related to another message, please send a _New_ message, rather than _Reply_-ing or _Forward_-ing a message from the list, then changing the subject line. The resason for this is that replying to a message takes some of the header information from that message that the more featureful mail readers use for threading messages, and it effectively Breaks the thread It can be quite frustrating. On to your problem. It is a good idea to check your iso filesytem images for errors before you burn them. You can run `md5sum` on the iso image file, for example. Compare this with the md5sum that Mandrake has published for the image you are downloading. If they are not the same, your image has some problems. If you have a damaged iso image, clearly, downloading the whole thing will be a huge pain due to it's size, so I reccommend just fixing the one you have by re-synchronizing it using rsync, which will actually repair the damaged image by compareing it with a presumed-good image on a remote server using a rolling-dual-crc check of the file, and transferring only the parts that are different. The mathematics involved are quite clever, and it produces very good results. You just need to find a server that you can get a good connection to and that offers a public rsync service of the Mandrake iso images, and you'll be off to the races. :^) Something like: (sorry it's one long line...) rsync -avP --progress --stats rsync://ftp.proxad.net:873/mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.0beta2-CD* /local/path/to-put-isos/ should do nicely, though you may have differnt luck... That mirror also has some md5sum file called md5sums.9.0 in the same directory as the iso images, you may want to get that as well, to do the comparison before you turn your cds.

[expert] Mandrake 8.2 PPC panic on 8600
Hello, I have been using PPC Linux on an Macintosh 8600 for a few years, but the rest of my network has moved to Mandrake 8.2 for Intel. Recently, I took the plunge and converted the 8600 to Mandrake also. The install was a little bumpy, but after a few tries, I managed to get things up and running. Unfortunately, every several hours the kernel panics. No logs are written to disk, so I can't paste a traceback here. After 180s, the box reboots back into Linux. The one time I saw the panic in action, the screen showed Task as swapper... if that is useful for anyone. There are no particularly interesting processes running on the box; the heaviest load it is under is providing resolving DNS service for about 10 other machines. The unit has 192M RAM, plenty of disk and swap. I doubt it is a hardware problem because MacOS 9 runs without crashing, and this problem did not occur under PPC Linux even when the machine was left running for months between reboots. My next idea is to put a dedicated monitor on the 8600 running top, and hope that I see something interesting happen before the next panic. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks, David.

Sorry. I'd heard the term, but didn't quite realize what it meant. On to your problem. It is a good idea to check your iso filesytem images for errors before you burn them. You can run `md5sum` on the iso image file, for example. Compare this with the md5sum that Mandrake has published for the image you are downloading. If they are not the same, your image has some problems. If you have a damaged iso image, clearly, downloading the whole thing will be a huge pain due to it's size, so I reccommend just fixing the one you have by re-synchronizing it using rsync, which will actually repair the damaged image by compareing it with a presumed-good image on a remote server using a rolling-dual-crc check of the file, and transferring only the parts that are different. The mathematics involved are quite clever, and it produces very good results. You just need to find a server that you can get a good connection to and that offers a public rsync service of the Mandrake iso images, and you'll be off to the races. :^) Something like: (sorry it's one long line...) rsync -avP --progress --stats rsync://ftp.proxad.net:873/mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.0beta2-CD* /local/path/to-put-isos/ should do nicely, though you may have differnt luck... That mirror also has some md5sum file called md5sums.9.0 in the same directory as the iso images, you may want to get that as well, to do the comparison before you turn your cds.

Re: [expert] trouble with libopenssl0 upgrade
The problem turned out to be with mod_ssl-2.8.5-3.1mdk. I uninstalled 2.8.5-3.1mdk and reinstalled 2.8.5-2.1mdk and that got the server running again. I don't know why the upgrade crashed the server.

Re: [expert] Fwd: memory leak
total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 753750 2 0 11504 -/+ buffers/cache:234518 Swap: 784 0784 Well, that seems reasonable. Cached RAM is pretty high, but that just depends on prior activity - for instance using gcc a lot or other big jobs, the cache will get utilized to remember those pages because they may be pressed into service again (like another gcc run). But if processes come along and request RAM, the OS will just reuse what's in buffers and cache. So, your memory isn't 'gone' it is just allocated in case something comes along again that needs it. Buffers (i.e., disk cache) get reused for process memory if there isn't disk activity going on -- if there's plenty of memory available elsewhere, buffers tend to not take up that much space, unless there's a lot of recent disk activity. For instance if you get up in the morning you may notice a large number in buffers first thing in the morning. That's because 'locate' was just run a few hours before -- and that works the disk.
