Re: Known Compile problems with 2.4-test11

Patch below is for 2.4.0-test11, and works on my dualhead G450, 16MB, DDR. Because of there are no specs for this piece of hardware, currently: (1) BIOS have to initialize hardware. Although chip presents itself as G400, there is at least one additional PCI configuration register :-( Not talking about completely new RAMDAC portion, new memory interface, and so on... Hit them with big stick. (2) Second head does not work. No spec, no game... Maybe after I find some spare time. (3) DAC is limited to 500MHz. Mine goes up to 959MHz, but without datasheet I want to be conservative. It was very hard to get this one piece...

Re: Harddisk controller
From my personal experience I have not been able to get the kernel patches for 2.2* to work.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Re: 2Gb files
Don't know if this helps too much either, but I am running unstable(sid) and 2GB files work just fine.

Appreciated! When you recompiled libc, where the compiler looks for the kernel's header? Well the debian glibc packaging is quite cunning in that it looks for a directory like /usr/src/kernel-header, (installed by a kernel-header package which can be created at the same time as your kernel-image using make-kpkg) and uses that, (or stops if there is more than one like that), or if there is a LINUX_SOURCE variable set uses that. This seems to be used with gcc after an -isystem flag (for prepending to the system include path I think). So I was pretty sure it was looking in the right place. I mean: it might be the case that gcc is using /usr/include/linux (2.2.18) for the kernel's header instead of your /usr/src/linux/include/linux (2.4.3) To make sure this wasn't the case I did a #dpkg --force-depends -r libc6-dev so that there was no /usr/include/linux or /usr/include/asm . I then rebuilt and reinstalled libc6 and libc6-dev debs (no problems). So I think that for enable 2GB files you should copy all /usr/src/linux/include/linux to /usr/include/linux and then try to recompile glibc. Just incase the libc6-dev package I'd created had done something evil to the header files I linked include/linux and asm directly to the corresponding kernel header directories and rebuilt and installed fileutils (which has dd in it). But still no luck in creating 2GB files. Just my $0.02 cheers, david -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Slow Win2k after Debian install
On approximately Fri, Oct 04, 2002 at 06:47:39PM +0100, jerry k wrote:
I'm new to GNU/Linux Debian and am having a problem with installing to a
system running Win2k. I've done a lot of reading on the dual-boot subject
but haven't seen anything to make me believe there's anything wrong with my
setup. Basically, my partitions looked like this:
Primary: C: / hda1
Primary, extended {
D: / hda5
E: / hda6
F: / hda7
G: / hda8}
hda8 was fairly large and mostly unused so I deleted it using partition
magic in DOS and created hda8, 9 10 (for /, /home swap) using cfdisk.
Debian installed just fine :-) and i made a boot disk in the meantime
(rather than installing lilo) with the aim of dd'ing the bootsector to c:
and using winboot (or whatever they call it) for switching, at least until I
figure out lilo.conf.
The problem occurred when i booted up Windows. It took forever, maybe about
10 minutes with lots of disk activity, and when it had booted explorer was
slw; not annoyingly slow, catastrophicly slow, taking 2 minutes to show
a context menu. hda8/9/10 now showed up in Windows as Local Disk G:,
filesystem type unknown, and it became clear that the problem only occurs
when explorer needs to show G: in MyComputer, save dialogs and the like.
I have had a similar problem when dualbooting with XP. The problem is when you
create partitions within Windows Windows thinks that the said partitions are
Windows native so it goes and tries to mount the partitions even though they
have an ext2 filesystem. What you need to do is create the partitions from
within Linux, and Windows will not try to use the partitions anymore.
