network configuration problem
Hello everybody I just have installed the base system on a computer and network is not reachable While I was installing the base system the install stript started to loop on configure network. The next step was always configure network.. So I just was choosing the next item in the list to do and after each I was getting that the default next step is configure network. In this fashion I reached the reboot option and the computer booted into linux everything works accept network... The card (which is a strange one) Cabletron E21xx appears to be detected correctly (the card works form windows so I know it is not a hardware problem). ifconfig tells me that the network interface is up... route gives correct routing table but takes a long time to do that (10-20min). I noticed that ifconfig says that I have no RX packets only TX. I recompiled kernel and built the driver into the kernel (thought that the module does not work) --- the same result... Any suggestions are appreciated. (please do not offer to chagen the net-card, it is not an option at this point) Thank you very much Lazar
more network problems
Hello everybody earlier today Ihave posted a message about problems configuring network card. Basically the situation is that the computer does not see the network however, if someone pings my computer I see number of receive errors increase as reported by ifconfig If I try to ping other computer, I see number of transmit error increase I also see that number of interrupts serviced increases as some pings me or I ping someone (from /proc/interrupts) It seems to me that the card itself is working (and it works underwin) but Iwant and need linux!!! Could someone tell me what is going on? and how to fix it ? Lazar PS I have fresh install of 2.2.19-compact distribution with cabletron network card.
Dual Serial port
Hello everybody! Most probably this is a strange question but I thought maybe some one knows the answer... As far as I understand a regular 25 pin serial port has 2 serial ports built-in on one chip. All serial lines which are needed for most communitcation devices (TxD RTS DTR RxD CTS DSR DCD RI) are doubled! The secondary ones are almost completely specified by the RS232 (STxD SRTS SDTR SRxD SCTS SDCD) one would need to choose SDSR and SRI and I think that is possible with some pins left. With that, it implyes that it is possible to operate 2 serial devices on a single serial port prived there is driver support for it and one will have to build a cable-splitter to split primary and secondary serial lines to go to separate devices. That are your thoughts? Are there any resticions in the way the data is stored inside the serial port itself? Thank you Lazar

Serial Port problems
Hello everybody I have a strange (maybe not) problem with serial port (I think) I have tried to install genpower to monitor a UPS. The deamon can see the cable but I get this error after I start genpowerd: Aiee: scheduling in interrupt 001113ed this message repeats indefinitely on the consol and I have to press reset button to reboot the system. On my different machine genpower works just fine. The difference (which might be important) between the machines is the kernel version. The system where I want to have UPS is an older one with kernel 2.0.38. The question is what causes this problem and can it be resolved. (Unfortunately, upgrating to 2.2.x kernel is not an ooption at this point) I would like to explore any possibilities before deciding to upgrade... Thank you Lazar

Re: Voodoo Banshee ANYBODY?
It starts to flicker only after I try startx when I kill it flickering does not disappear (have to reboot to fix that). Moreover, when I boot to Windows98 after that, it thinks that the card supports only 16 colors at 640x480 so I have to reconfigure windows everytime I try Xwin with linux and decide to boot to win98.

Re: not all packages showing up with dpkg -l?
Maybe it is because the name of the package is foo_16a, not foo Maciej Let me explain: of recent, I've noticed that for certain Maciej (few) packages if I do dpkg -l foo and it produces no Maciej matches/output, a subsequent apt-get install foo *WILL* Maciej find and install the desired package. So if this package Maciej exists, why isn't it listed in dpkg -l foo???

problems with netscape
Hello everybody I have 2 strange problems with netscape communicator 4.73 1. It renders some web pages 50 to 100 times slower than Internet exploer on win 98 on the same machine! (I have Pentium-75). I am not sure that it is configuration problem, I am afraid it is a feature of netscape. I use Linux 99.999% of the time and it is annoing to reboot to windows for internet browsing... 2. Actually, I have 2 similar machines running Linux on both of them 99.99% of the time. I have noticed that if I try to run netscape from my other machine via network, it actually starts on my local machine. I am not crazy If I have netscape running on machine I am sitting at and connect to the second via ssh and start netscape there, what I get is the second netscape running on my local machine. how do I know that? I see which files it can access and when I do exit both netscape windows are closed. However, if I do not have netscape running on my local computer and just do ssh and start netscape from there, I do get what I want. Could some one explain how that can possibly happen? I repeat, I am not crazy, it is happening for a fact, the question is how? Thank you Lazar
Re: autosetting time
I have a similar situaltion with my p75. It sets date to somethere in 2094... cool ah? what I do is boot to DOS, set correct date and use loadlin to load linux. If I boot directly to linux and correct the date, time will decrease and as I found out not all programs like that. (you mount a partition in 2094 and write to it in 2000.) Anyway, I can probably understand why 1999 is followed by 1980 (or 1984) but how it happened that after 1999 there is 2094? They tryed to make a Y2K compiant bios and could not? beats me... Just a thought, Lazar On Fri, 8 Dec 2000, Robert Guthrie wrote: I actually use chrony, which is a good-enough solution for my wierd setup: One machine (a tyan motherboard with a cyrix p150+) has a non-y2k compliant bios, which sets the date to 198x every time it's rebooted. I'm not connected to the internet fulltime, so I have cronyd running on a 486 (which IS y2k compliant... go figure), and when my cyrix machine reboots, it queries the 486 in the boot sequence and resets the date to a fairly good date. It's not the most accurate, nor is it probably the best package under most circumstances, but it has it's place. Mostly, it was easy to set up my own time server.

Re: Problems setting DMA
I have a similar problem. Maybe even worse.. If I change the way the hard
drives are connected (like swap hda and hdb), changin the master/slave
jumpers, the system does not boot at all...
I had to find, what it seems a unique configuration in which it boots, but
no DMA on the second IDE channel. I could turn DMA on with hdparam and as
soon as I accessed the disk, it was disabled as in your case...
I gave-up... I blame it on the stupid PIIX (Triton) chip, I have...
Or maybe I am stupid, which is possible too :-)
Anyway, I am following this thread with interest... :-)
Then I'll run a program that requires a disk read, such as, for example,
find /
It locks for a while (about ten seconds) then I run dmesg. The last
lines are self-explanative:
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdc: DMA disabled
ide1: reset: success
The system disables DMA. It gives me an IRQ timeout.
BIOS is fine. Everything is fine but DMA. What should I do? Break my
MotherBoard in half? :-))
I've already tried hdparm -c 0, -c 1, -c 2, -c 3. I've also tried hdparm
-u 1. Results: Still no DMA.
Wierd, eh?
Re: tuning scsi performance?
Is it possible that simply either capture or output (or both) buffers are too small? what are you using to capture video? i had major frame droppings on 7200RPM ultra 2 scsi with dual celeron 466 and 256MB of ram .. using BT848 ..the drivers just aren't good enough for high fps capture(more then say 10fps) ...ive yet to try it with my new p3-800 10k rpm drive and 512MB ram but i expect the same results. nate jjlupa I'm trying to do some video capture but keep dropping frames even jjlupa though I'm on a U2W (2940) system.

Linux searches for the correct System.map, which gets generated during
the Linux build process, in /boot/System.map-suffix. Where suffix
is the suffix, which the linux image itself has.
For example:
If your Linux image is in /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-foobar-pre2, your
System.map should be /boot/System.map-2.2.17-foobar-pre2.
Have you compiled Linux yourself and forgotten to copy the System.map?
The kernel-deb's generated by kernel-package manage the System.maps
automatically.
Yes, it happend after I compiled the kernel, and yes, I see that size
of /boot/System.map-2.2.17 is different from that of
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/System.map
If I understand you correctly, after compiling the kernel, I have to copy
/kernel-source-2.2.17/System.map to /boot/System.map-2.2.17.
Could you confirm that I am correct, as I have never done that before and
never had that error (or warning)?
Thank you,
Lazar

IRQ and PS/2
Hi everybody, I have run out of IRQs. Well, actually I have one left (IRQ12), but it is reserved for PS/2 bus. I do not have a manual for my motherboard, so I do not know how to disable the ps/2 bus. I have a regular serial mouse and AT-type (5-pin) keyboard. The motherboard also has something called PS/2 mouse header pins.

IRQ and PS/2
Hi Everybody, Thank you for all your replys, however, I think that I did not describe the situation correctly. I have an older type pentium with AT-style board ( i think it is called that way, it has one 5-pin keyboard connector). I do not recall seeing anything in BIOS related to PS/2 bus (I will check), I can disable/enable com and lpt ports.. Well, I will check it again. The motherboard itself has four pins sticking out and it says PS/2 mouse. So I thought, I could find some socket with 4 pins on one side and 6 on the other (a 6-pin PS mouse connector) and put the mouse on it. But I had never seen such adapters. Do they exist? (sounds like an academic-style question...) I can not put a network card in because of that. :( Have a mouse and a modem, 2-channel IDE, video, sound and a video capture card. That is it.

Basically, in your /etc/ppp/ip-up script (for bo, aka Debian 1.3.x) or in some file in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ (for hamm, aka Debian 2.0 - you'd probably be best off putting this in a new file, something like /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/local_updatepage) put the following: m4 -Dipaddr=$PPP_LOCAL /tmp/newip.html EOD HTMLHEADNew ip address ipaddr/HEAD BODYH1New address is: ipaddr/H1 PNew address ipaddr obtained on syscmd(date)/P/BODY/HTML EOD HOME=/root ftp my.webspace.provider EOD send /tmp/newip.html public_html/newip.html EOD (In bo, use $4 instead of $PPP_LOCAL in the top line) Then, in /root you need to create a .netrc file giving your username and password for whatever machine you're putting this webpage on. The syntax is: machine my.webspace.provider login myusername password mypassword Then, remember to set all the permissions correctly: chmod 0600 /root/.netrc chmod a+rx /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/local_updatepage # or whatever # Remember, use /etc/ppp/ip-up on bo.

PON on REQUEST
Greeting everyone, Very often, I have to work on my home computer from other places and I do not want to have my home computer on-line all the time.

Re: Can't boot past the Takaya
Hi Bill, I had the same problem with Takaya 16x CDROM. I do not know if it a problem with the device, but the problem was and is that hdb is detected twice and hdc is not detected at all. So, I connected the CDROM to the secondary IDE channel and left it as slave. It works.

Re: More CDROM troubles
Hi George, I had the same problem. In my case I have noticed that the slave device on the primary channel was detectes twice duriong boot-up. So I connected the cd-rom to the secondary channel and everything works fine. You can check with dmesg what it probes. Again, in my case it was and STILL IS hda hdb hdb - instead of hdc! Is it a bug? hdd It never detects the master device on the secondary channel, thus my cdrom is connected as a slave on the secondary( without any master devices on it which contradicts to IDE specifications..) CDROM is accessible from linux and dos. I do not know what the problem is. Regards, ZORO On Sat, 29 Aug 1998, George Bonser wrote: Just a note ...

Re:[fixed]New installation problem
Hello everyone, Good news and questions: I have connected the cdrom to the secondary channel as a slave drive and everything works. I have hard disk on primary ( master) and no other devices are connected to the controller. Probably bad news (or question). I have noticed that during boot, it never probes hdc device. Instead, hdb is probed twice! The messages, that I see are the following ... ide: i82371 PIIX(Triton) onPCI bus 0 function 57 ide0: BM-DMA at 0x3000-0x3007 ide1: BM-DMA at 0x3008-0x300f hda: Maxtor 82559A4,2441MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=628/128/63, DMA hdb: probing STATUS instead of ALLSTATUS hdb: probing STATUS instead of ALLSTATUS hdd: DF7910C(-D0161 ), ATAPI CDROM drive I do not feel qualified to judge whether it is right or wrong, but it looks strange.

The general layout of this file is described in man 5 termcap, where it says: Although there is no defined order, it is suggested to write first boolean, then numeric and at last string capa bilities, each sorted alphabetically without looking at lower or upper spelling. Arranging the entries in this order will probably do the trick. Thank you. It worked. Although, I must say, the order does matter and 'string' must go before 'boolean'.
