great news - can you give me your new dmesg output (dont need to reboot 
etc, shoudl be able to run 'dmesg' command under Linux and dump the outout
to an AFFS partition and then email the info to me when you next enter
AmigaOS world - as you dont have networking under APUS)

regarding Ethernet PCMCI (APNE driver) I'm aware of some new issue with 
this - could you try the most recent (date string) 2.4.13 kernel
and the 2.4.17 kernel.  we're looking/working on the APNE - unfortunately,
as is often the case, I dont have such a card anymore - having sold it 
last year :-|

Corrected :) Thanks for advice! I wasn't aware that I have incorrect

You were right. If I remove PCMCIA Eth Card Debian boots without any
problems! I can login and work :) Any solutions? New kernel image on
sourceforge or do I need to recompile the kernel myself?

hi,

> Here is my dmesg from 2.4.20 kernel (as Alan Buxey asked for it at
> sourceforge). This kernel doesn't work for me. I use 2.4.9. 

right, lets start by making sure you use the right bootstrap commands.

--keep-video nobats noscsi
^^^^^^^^^^^^

no. why do you have this? this was an old kludge for the CyberVision3D 
card. you dont need this.

 60nsRAM

no, this isnt correct either. as you can see with the line below

APUS: BATs=0, BUS=60MHz, RAM=70ns, PCI bridge=1

this shows it still at 70ns

the command you want is  60nsram   all in lower case.


as for the kernel itself - looks like serious ooops at the PCMCIA code - 
do you *have* a PCMCIA ethernet card?  If so, could you please
remove it and see how the kernel boots. if it gets to you being able ot 
log in, then we can pinpoint this issue

by the way, do you want better IO speeds, better sound and dont need AGA?
if so, add

video=amifb:off    to your command line

..troubles, fixes and future growth

[Alan B. <A.L...@lb...>]

hi,

I'm sorry that i havent written here for a while... but i have been 
keeping in touch with whats being asked,

firstly, thankyou for the breakdown of issues with certain kernels.
I have witnessed some of these behaviours myself and am keen to engage in 
further information with respect to issues. I'd really like everyone to 
love forwards to the most stable and recent of kernels. but this either 
has to be identified, or compiled.

there are other things to be seen to etc, and i'm hoping to get things 
back on schedule here... having moved, changed jobs etc I havent been able
to clear older things.

on a better note, however, I now have a MediatorSX PCI board for my A1200.
dont get too excited just yet - i have yet to get into devel discussions
with Elbox, but i propose the resulting code will either be precompiled
module, or built into the kernel.  I will hopefully be joining
in discussions with our other developers to get this board working
and usable under APUS as soon as i can.  thanks for the offers
of paying for one of us to get a board....i was asking for such actions
way back last year...but time eventually caught up with me and i have 
bought one myself.  one other reason for me to get this working is that 
i'm back onto AGA under APUS in the meantime!! ;-)

So which kernel would you recommend?

I think this would be more appropriate for a Debian list like
debian-user, but anyway: The pine license doesn't allow Debian to
redistribute binaries. You need to get the source and build it yourself,
google for 'Debian pine'.

Could be RAM I guess, but AFAIR older 2.4 APUS kernels used to be rather
unstable.


I hope someone else can answer your other question(s).

Pine for Debian and other problems

[<baz...@po...>]

Hi,

As nobody answers my silly questions I started to install Debian over the
net (again as yesterday it crashed and PCMCIA eth card stopped working).
System is installed now but with very few packets :(. The first question: is
it possible to install PINE in Debian?? If I use 'apt-get install pine' I
get message saying that apropriate package cannot be found due to some...
circumstances. Another problem is that my PPC card is probably broken.
During install I got few messages like that:
Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11
NP: (...)
MSR: (..)
DAR: (...)
TASK= (...) 'sed' last syyscall: 3

Instead of task 'sed' it's sometimes 'grep'. I use 2.4.9 kernel (any newer
doesn't work on my config). The question is - buggy kernel or hardware
failure of memory, CPU etc.??
Third thing is gpm - I installed it and configured properly (when I use test
form 'gpmconfig' mouse works fine but after finishing 'gpmconfig' script and
restarting gpm server I can't use mouse). I noticed that gpm gets a lot of
CPU (I checked with 'top') but mouse does't work. Any ideas??

Where can I find Dialdcontrol? It doesn't seem to be part of Debian3.0.

A while ago I had a chat with a guy on NetBSD. He said that there existed
a Repulse driver(68k) in NetBSD and suggested that I could try to port
this to Debian(PPC), but my knowledge in programming is poor, so I'm wonder=
ing
if anyone in the LinuxAPUS community would be interested in this?

I've got the same problem, but I think it's a matter of pppd launch string
even if I haven't managed to find out the right one yet.
I don't think it's a kernel issue either, as I'm using 2.4.9 (problems with
2.4.20 as well...).
Anyway, I can't connect with pon, wvdial, kppp, gnome dialer, *but *I can

Don't ask me why, but it works :)

BTW, there's a strange bug (?) in modem handling: if I launch an app such as
psi (jabber client) or opera and /then/ I try to go online, 80% of times
the whole system freezes while running pppd and I have to ctrl+/A/+/A/

[Willy <wca...@no...>]

Hi,

I try to use the glint driver for the permedia2, but it does'nt work and =
i
don't know what to do. Each time i use startx, the screen becomes black,i
hear a sound and i return to the console. But when i compile the kernel
without the CONFIG_FB_PM2_FIFO_DISCONNECT set to Yes, the keyboard stop
working after the sound and i have to do a reset.

I hope the informations i join below will help you to find the problem.

Thanks for your help, Willy.

If you can, try 2.2.10 kernel. I know it is old, but IMHO it's last usable
APUS kernel. The rest is unstable and really buggy.

Pon is buggy??

[Björn J. <kh...@te...>]

Hi.

I still have problems going off the net with Debian3.0.
When I try pon provider, nothing happens. I did this
with the 2.4.18 kernel.

I also tried an earlier kernel(2.4.17 or something?)
and KPPP could sense that I had a modem connected
(with the 2.4.18 the whole system crashes...)
But once again, when I tried pon provider nothing
happens, so I assume that PON is buggy in Debian3.0.
Is there some other program I can use?

Btw. I have tried the 2.4.20 kernel and this kernel
won't even boot on my system.

Maybe you should better post that on -apus-devel, but I guess that everyo=
ne is
reading both lists anyway.

So, why don't you have a go at it yourself. I am
sure you will learn a lot about the linux kernel itself. There are some g=
ood
documents out there, or you may also consider buying a book, for instance
"understanding the linux kernel" (o'reilly) though it is based on kernel
version 2.2 (at least the one I have, maybe theres a new one outthere
already). There has also been a book about writing linux device drivers, =
AFAIK
also o'reilly.

Hi!

I've had a discussion with Klaus Heinz at NetBSD, and he thinks it's possib=
le
to port the Repulse sounddriver to PPC. Now I want to know if there is any=
one
in the LinuxAPUS community which is willing to do this. Any volunteers?

A bit more info wouldn't hurt at all! What says the X error log
"/var/log/XFree86.0.log" (please
attach it), which kernel version do you use (I guess 2.2.10 or 2.4.20 which do
not have pci support compiled in), and what does the XF86Config in question
look like (especially the "Device" section).

But in general, glint would be the driver to use if you want hardware
acceleration
(which is, I guess, the one you are using, since you seem to have given a PCI bus ID).
