Hello, I got a new SCSI disk and want to use it for Linux on the A4000, I compile the latest 2.4.14 kernel and try to use the internal controller with no chance, /dev/sda is unusable. Is the SCSI controller usable with the latest kernels ? -- Jean-Paul Pozzi \\\ ___________________ \\\ / \\\ / A2000-060 64M CV3D \\\ / A4000-060 PPC 96M CyberPPC \\\ / \\\/ |

Ok, I solved the problem about modules loading (I had set the wrong aliases), and then browsed the whole ml archive. Most of the postings just tell to have a look at the FAQ, which at the moment is unreachable; anyway, from a couple of mails I understood (or, at least, believed it) that I had to add a "video=amifb:vga" or "mode:000011" to the bootstrap command line, then cycle the login prompts and at last enjoy my (almost) full rate sound. Well, it didn't work. I tried many combinations and positions but nothing. However, I noticed an interesting (?) thing: cat /dev/sndstat outputs that I'm using 8bit sound always, except after loading an Mp3 with XMMS or playing a sample (I tried to install Zangband's...).

First of all, you don't ever have to log in as root, nor should you. man su. You can have modules loaded at startup by putting their names into /etc/modules. The more elegant way is to have them be loaded on demand by defining aliases in /etc/modules.conf (maybe your distro is so old that it's still called /etc/conf.modules). Again, this has been discussed here. > PS: Maybe it's OT, but I noticed that I do not suffer anymore from BVPPC > overheating problems when using Linux. Does this mean anything to anyone?

I am new to this list, and to Linux too... (I guess I could be described = as a complete newbie) Anyway, I managed to install LinuxPPC 1999 Q3 and to have everything up & running almost without any help, apart from the howtos I found on the web= =2E I even managed to play around with modules (er.. more or less, that is), but: 1) after loading dmasound and starting XMMS, even with the highest divisi= on rate (1:4) and with an 8bit play, the output is sllllloooooooowwwww (whil= e with any amiga PPC mp3 player everything is perfect) 2) is there a way (any!) to have non-compiled modules loaded on startup? Each time I want to go online I have to login as root, load amiga_ser and then relogin as user... Thanks & bye M=A7K Config: A1200 BlizzardPPC 603e+@200MHz/040@25MHz BVisionPPC no soundcard OS3.5/RedHat6.1 (with both Gnome & KDE running fine) PS: Maybe it's OT, but I noticed that I do not suffer anymore from BVPPC overheating problems when using Linux.

Hi Roman, >> There is no extra initialization program in my startup-sequence, >> user-startup, WBStartup.... that I know of. >What about drivers for the pci cards? Good point. Deactivated Voodoo3 CGFX-driver and Terratec mixer. Unfortunately no success. Last thing bootstrap does is writeing "Inhibiting all filesystems: CD0: RAM: DF0: HD1: HD2: HD0:" as before (installing the G-Rex 4000D) but then it freezes the computer. Question is: Is this a problem of bootstrap or Linux/APUS kernel? Are the sources of bootstrap available anywhere? Bye Herby |

Hi everyone, I asked this question already last week, but I got no answer and I thought either I made a mistake when writing, or I'm just out of luck. Question is: Since installing my G-Rex A4000D daughterboard in my A4000, Linux/Apus refuses to boot. It locks during booting - no heartbeat, nothing. I used Kernel 2.4.4 and 2.4.9 from the Linux/Apus site with the following parameters: bootstrap --apus -k vmapus-2.4.9 root=/dev/hda4 60nsram video=amifb:pal-lace I don't expect PCI cards (Voodoo3, Terratec..) to work, but I thought Apus should at least be able to boot using an AGA video mode. Is this a normal behaviour and I need a kernel which explicitly supports the G-Rex or have I made an obvious mistake (besides installing the G-Rex 8)). TIA Bye Herby |
