Hi,
Just to let you know: on 9 december, MPlayer 1.0-pre3 was released and
rereleased (the first version didn't even compile on any big-endian
architecture.)
It looks like the colour problems of the previous version have been
fixed (mlib is mentioned in the long changelog), but stability is

Thanks! I compiled a tftpboot.img using a kernel with an adjusted
version of your .config, and it seems to recognize the StorEdge D1000

I'm the package maintainer of wmtune, a tiny radio tuner which
makes use of the Video4Linux kernel API. I decided to upload it
for "Architecture: any" and to resolve porting problems (like

should fix other platforms later..)

Cable and ethernet should be ok. Solaris 9 on the same box works fine.

Hi,
When my Ultra 5 is receiving files (ftp/ssh etc..) at large speeds
(800kB/s), the network interface can randomly lock up.
I can either wait a minute to let it reset itself, or ifdown/ifup eth0
manually. If I let it wait, this is in the syslog:

I'm the happy owner of a Sun Ultra 5, dual-booting (boot disk:a and disk:b)

I have an Ultra 5, still trying to get it dualbooting between
Solaris 9 and Woody from one IDE disk. As long as no one has a r
oot=/dev/hda4' just starts the installer from scratch
over again.. :(
I have thought of using 'partition=1', but in that case I think I might not be
able to boot Solaris anymore.
Thanks for any help.
