(woody). Oh, I did not know that! No, atm I do not have any working installation, since I had too less time to do a proper install (I got stuck somewhere in the woody install, but by my own fault). I thought this weird behaviour would have only affected one or two versions of XFree86 4.x, and unluckily the one which made it into SuSE PPC 7.1 (like gmc, or do you like gnome sessions crashing right from the start..). I assumed Debian wouldn't have this problem because of the steady updating. And at the time, no one else than me reported this problem btw. > I thought it was a CyberstormPPC + CVisionPPC problem. > If only I knew what :-) Well, so it seems to be a more besetting problem. But it seems as it would only affect A4000 users. I don't know anything about the XFree86 drivers, someone more knowledged has to jump into the breach. But, if updating to XFree86 4.2.x doesn't help, downgrading certainly would.. -- All the best, Andi |

Hi! Sorry I can't help you but I have the same problem. I have tried several distributions, like LinuxPPC-2000(Q4), Debian, MkLinux and now Mandrake 8.0-PPC, but on every I got the problem you described. Mostly I also got these crasches if I switch from X to console (pressing ctrl-alt-Fx). These crashes do also apear if only X runs (no Gnome, KDE or so). I have posted my X problems many month ago. I have tried many kernels up to 2.4.14 and played a lot with XF86Config-4. Nothing helps. I think there is something in the kernel (maybe the pci-stuff) that does not work properly with CSPPC/CVPPC combination. Maybe some of the other guys can fix this, because there is realy a problem.

Hi, I seem unable to access my ffs amiga partition from within Linux. I have previously successfully updated my XF86Config using this method (ie copying from an Amiga partition) but now seem unable to access any extra files on my amiga ffs partition. I have placed some files ready to copy across and deleted some unwanted stuff, when I access the partition through linux I am still seeing the files that used to be there and not what is currently available. How do I get linux to rescan the partition to update the files that are now present. The uncanny thing is that I can load in a file and edit it even though it isn't really there according to my amiga partition? I can't fathom this out, any help would be great.

Soemtimes even normal switching from X to a console (while X is still running) with Alt-Fx brings up this effect. Though I mostly still had heartbeat. I then guessed it could maybe be possible to login remotly and do a normal shutdown, but did not try that. But if even heartbeat fails, tough! > I tried using different kernels (2.4.4, 2.4.9) and drivers (glint, fbdev).

Some months ago, I had a problem with 'glint" and it was the only working=

Hello!
I have problem installing Debian on my system. I have Debian on a CD (quite
old version from 1999) which I had installed on my Amiga before my old HD
crashed. Now I have PowerFlyer from Elbox and 30GB HD. When I try to
install Debian at the point I want to use "mke2fs -c /dev/hda4 /mnt/root" I
get a message:
mke2fs 1.12, 9-Jul-98 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
mke2fs: bad blocks count - /mnt/root
Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

If your distro's glibc (or its corresponding devel package) doesn't ship
them, it's broken.

Is this about /usr/include/{asm,linux} ? =
Yes, I've read it needs those dirs pointing to where the respective sou=
rces are
Those shouldn't be symlinks at
all but normal directories containing normal files, generated by and
shipped with glibc.
I have glibc installed and I still don't have such directories, when I tr=
y to compile an app I got error :
:linux/limits.h no such file directory"
So I figured out something is missing.

Is this about /usr/include/{asm,linux} ? Those shouldn't be symlinks at
all but normal directories containing normal files, generated by and
shipped with glibc.
If you are interested in the reasons, search the web, but the bottom
line is: if they are symlinks into a kernel source, things will randomly
and mysteriously break.

Hi, I am trying to compile some apps, because the LinuxPPC 2000 installer did= n't install kernel-source, I don't have a link named linux pointing to th= e sources, my questions are: It is possible to recreate this link ? If it= is, how ? Which kernel sources are appropriate, I have kernel 2.4.9, but I didn't s= ee any kernel-sources in the apus site, I downloaded kernel-headers versi= on 2.4.17-3, and installed them under /usr/src. Can I use any ppc kernel-source to compile my apps , or Should I get a ke= rnel version 2.4.9 ? In apus, is this the correct procedure ? As you can see I am not sure what to do and if I can save myself from a h= uge useless download, that may not work ... = Regards, Rick = |
