[expert] writing to / reading from ISA Card using outw/inw
Dear Mandrake-Experts
I have an PnP-ISA-Card installed in my PC, but do have problems
reading/writing from/to the card.
/proc/isapnp says:
Card 1 'BUR0020:BUR PCIO' PnP version 1.0
Logical device 0 'BUR:Unknown'
Supported registers 0x2
Device is active
Active port 0x220
Active IRQ 5
Active DMA ,0
Resources 0
Priority acceptable
Port 0x200-0xffe0, align 0x1f, size 0x20, 16-bit address decoding IRQ
3,4,5,6,7,2/9,10,11,12,14,15 High-Edge
My interpretation is that the Base Address is 0x220.
I'm using ioperm to get permission to read/write to the card as follows
(I'm root):
int initPort()
{
if(iIOAddr == 0) //iIOAddr is 0x220
return 1;
return ioperm(iIOAddr, 0x20, 1);
}
Reading(writing is done as follows:
void readIOw(uint16 iOffset, uint16 *iVal) {
if (iVal == NULL) {
printf(readIOw: can't write to null pointer\n);
return;
}
*iVal = inw(iIOAddr + iOffset);
//usleep(1);
}
void writeIOw(uint16 iOffset, uint16 iVal) {
outw(iVal, iIOAddr + iOffset);
//usleep(1);
}
Well, to be short, it doesn't work. readIOw always returns 0x, which
shouldn't be.
The same Card works fine under Tornado/vxWorks using the same
mechanisms. Therefore the I think the addresses are correct and it might
be a Linux realated problem.
Any help is really welcome

RE: [expert] Firewall/Gateway ?
Hmm, for blocking of IM's take a look at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/gov/features/tips/t_blocking_instant_messengers_gov.html Best idea would be IMHO to block the login server e.g. login.oscar.aol.com in your firewall scripts, blocking the ports will not work. Your idea will work, you will just have to configure the firewall a little bit ;-) but on the other side, if the Novell Server is running BorderManager this can be done directly on the Novell Server.

[expert] LM8: ext2 fs corruption bug
Hello, I never received an answer to http://www.mail-archive.com/expert@linux-mandrake.com/msg36254.html I know there is an ext2 fs corruption bug in kernels prior to 2.4.4pre2. It is described as affecting filesystems under heavy load. I am concerned about this. I just read on mandrake-forum that there will be no official 2.4.4 kernel update. Judging from the discussion on 2.4.4 elsewhere it appears to be another release in the 2.4-series kernel with problems. I am starting to believe that the 2.4 kernel in general has not yet stabilized. I downloaded and installed 2.4.4 myself and it appears to have broken some apm-related code. My thinkpad freezes frequently when coming OUT of suspend mode. Also, I notice that dvd playback appears smoother under 2.2.19 than 2.4.3/4. Can anyone clarify, or offer suggestions? thank you! Steven Marcus __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[expert] Software RAID on root fs
Hello,
I am planning on Trying to configure my linux box as a (Software) RAID 1 box.
The only problem I saw was that you cannot just make your root filesystem
("/") as a RAID. Why is that (what's the point of having RAID if your root
filesystem is not redundant).
I noticed that there are several work arounds on the internet. Has anyone
ever tried this? Please let me know. Any information on (software) RAID is
welcome because I never did this before.

Re: [expert] processor family
Just do a uname -a. It will tell you which processor family it is. I have a AMD-K6-500 which is i586 (So yours probably to). I once tried to install i686.rpm packages but rpm refused it because I it was complaining about invalid architecture. I believe it is possible to put K6 i.s.o. i586 or something like that in your configuration file but I never tried that. I never compile the kernel anymore because it is almost all modules now and everything works 100% for me without compiling. I just install the binary kernel/modules.

Re: [expert] XFree 4.0.1 on Mandrake 7.1 with RPM
This means you have to upgrade to a version of rpm that is greater or equals to rpm 3.0.3-1. So upgade to rpm 3.0.5 for example. I upgraded from a initscript-4.9x to a 5.2x release without any problems on a Redhat system but did not try this on mandrake yet. I think Mandrake is just redhat with some additions so in theory it should work. But did not test it yet.

Re: [expert] giving up (for now) compiling packages
I am wondering how much speed you gain installing i686 instead of i586 packages. I now my AMD-K6-2 500Mhz refuses to run i686 packages but i586 work fine for me (when I do uname -a linux tells me I run a i586 and rpm is smart enough to deny installation of any i686.rpm). So maybe i686 packages only work on certain systems. If you gain a lot of speed from your i686 it is woth the trouble but if it is only a few percent maybe it is a good idea to stick with i586 packages. Maybe those "invalid character 45" errors you got are causing all the trouble. From all my experiments with linux I learned one thing: Playing with glibc = playing with fire (since a lot of application are using glibc). But if you fixed your problem I am still intrested to hear from you what it was.

I have replaced my glibc build - it built, but with a bunch of "invalid character 45" errors that make me a bit nervous about the integrity of the resultant i686.rpms. I have replaced a lot of things with the i586.rpms. One thing that I cannot get to work, no matter what, is the menu package. It installs fine (menu-2.1.5-28mdk OR menu-2.1.5-30mdk) but crash bigtime whenever "update-menus" is called. EVERY time something tries to make use of "update-menus" upon install results in segfault (core dump). Every time. It did this with the src build I compiled. It does it with each binary rpm I try. Does anyone have a functional 7.2beta menu rpm? I have gone back and made sure to RE-install the other rpms that are listed as dependencies for menu to no avail. It doesn't work. praedor Don't envy the loops you've been jumping thru with this. There was a 'bug' of a sort in glibc-2.1.3 concerning 'invalid character 45' errors and, for example, 'full-config-sysdirs'. Essentially, each instance needed to be converted to full_config_sysdirs. Do you have the offending output? There was a patch out for glibc specifically directed toward the invalid character 45 problem.
