2005-06-09 Thread Harold Stevenson

Hey Justin,

I am trying to get Darwin X  windows up and running. Do you have any 
suggestions or know where I can get some help in putting it together! 
Thank you.

I haven't heard any reports that they occur in 2.6.11, and
I imagine there are people using that combination, so if 
I was in your shoes I would try that. I do have a box with
a VIA rhine card, I will fire it up and see if I can a) reproduce
the problem in 2.6.8-16, b) if it goes away in 2.6.11-5 and c)
get some fixes available for 2.6.8. But its not the D Link card
in question, so I am not sure if I am in a position to test
if a given kernel works.

On a brighter note, I have been unable to reproduce the nefilter
bug I mumbled about in my previous post, so that appears to
have been a false alarm.

Sounds like a RC bug, so I'm setting it's severity to grave.

Too bad this bug didn't get realized when -16 was in unstable...
looks like it's too late to fix this for 3.1r0.


True, there was some late minute package shiffling which meant that -16
ended up going straight into sarge. Unfortunately now we have this bug.
A similar thing seems to have happened with 2.4.27 and some neftilter
symbols. It partly my fault (in the sense that I uploaded the packages)
and partly a process issue. I do appologise for any inconvenience and
I'll try and get updates together over the next few days. But we have
clearly missed the boat for 3.1r0.


Hi Horms:

Thanks for acknowledging the via-rhine problem that has gotten into 3.1r0.
For Debian sarge users it sounds like you have plans to fix version 2.6.8-16
which is excellent. But until that happens, and for on-going Debian testing
users like me what kernel 2.6 solution do you recommend for all those who
require via-rhine for their networking?  For example, do you (or anybody
else paying attention to this bug thread) know whether the via-rhine
problems also occur for kernel-image-2.6.11 (currently in unstable)?

Bug#311357: Upgrade of 386 version of the 2.6.8 kernel breaks via-rhine

2005-06-04 Thread Alan W. Irwin

This is a confirmation of the bad problem with the via-rhine module
for the latest version of the 386 version of the 2.6.8 kernel.

I "upgraded" today from kernel-image-2.6.8.2-386 version 2.6.8-13 to
2.6.8-16, and my network card (D-link 10/100 DFE-530TX) that is controlled
by the via-rhine module immediately quit working.  This card/via-rhine
module pair has been working for me without problems for 5 years under
Debian until now.

Since this is such a heavily used networking module, I consider it is
critical to fix this recently introduced problem before the release.
