thanks for the link to the kernel deb ! my quadra 630 finally works now at the console.
but i had to reload/reinstall the keyboard maps: "loadkeys us" to test/reload and "install keymap" to install it. this because all the keys were wrong i could not even log in. but logging in via ethernet then i did the above and got console to work, with the new kernel deb. it is still i think pretty buggy though appears to be more stable than before, last kernel i tried 2 months ago, this time i was up for about 4 hours before it got to thrashing too badly. i was unable with a great patience to shut it down. seems to be some memory issues, swapping itself or the program i was running that wanted the swapping i am not sure, but it wasn't swapping so heavily that it should be thrashing to a standstill. (i put in the shutdown command and it tried but hung with drive errors, although rebooting appears no problem, only with running this perl script in 2.6.18 that uses 50mB of memory) i would say more detail but it would probably confuse you without a clear simple example. anyway i still am not sure my disk drive is perfectly fine, am planning replacement. (there are some errors from the drive at startup, although i don't get them with kernel 2.2, who knows ??) since there are still some 300 odd kernel bugs (down from 700 a few months ago) in all debian, i don't expect too much yet. I am still running a mixed install of sarge and etch, only parts of etch i need. mostly this because i want to be able to run 2.2 kernel as fallback. actually am using the 68k very little (for fear the disk is about to fail). also need more memory and not sure i want to spend $ or if it would really help (have 36mB now and the machine maxes out at 68, the only really good thing about it is it does use ide hd). brian ps FYI the "current" version of perl is actually getting on close to 2 years old. there are about 12MB of modules update, even with the upstream fresh build or etch (i know i have been building and consistentizing it on all my machines the last few month, BTW it builds fine with gcc295/linux2.4 or macos10.2/gcc3.3, but - ) which takes almost as long to build install as the whole source. is anything to be done about that ?? anyway i downloaded the 12mB ok the ethernet did not crash (mine 68k is ASANTE/LCIII/Nubus, not Sonic - slow but stabler maybe ??). but when i was trying to run the updates when i got it stucking. maybe i have to split it up or/and do some partly by hand. or i could try the old kernel and see if that hangs too...

There isn't one yet. But, if you can live without serial drivers, hardware clock, IOP ADB, PMU ADB, IIsi ADB and 5380 SCSI, you're laughing. I'm going to get the status page working again so that you can easily see which models are affected. In a nutshell, quadras work OK. Christian's kernel is as good as it gets: http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/linux-image/linux-image-2.6.18-4-mac_2.6.18.dfsg.1-11_m68k.deb -f > > Cheers, > Laurent > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
