Re: Orinoco Dirver with monitor support

I had no difficulties applying the Kismet patch to the Debian 2.6.9 kernel sources. The kernel built fine, and monitor mode works. Scanning does not, work, though, and after running in monitor mode the Airport modules need to be removed and re-inserted before wireless will function normally.

Re: errors when compiling 2.6 kernel source
I tried compiling a 2.6 kernel from sources (2.6.11 from kernel.org to be exact), and I got the following: What's causing this ? That looks like the swim3 driver.

Re: Best way to create a swap partition
I tried using fdisk. Contrary to fdisk on x86/alpha I could not change Don't - use mac-fdisk, or parted. the partition type of an existing partion. So I deleted an unused one and tried to recreate it. But I am never asked for a partition type, I always get a Linux native. When I use C instead of c I can set a partition type, but there is no help on what I can choose here, fdisk simply accepts anything, it appears. The 'C' sounds like mac-fdisk, but the 'Linux native' isn't the partition type nor name - you got that from the last column in the partition listing? That column will always read 'Linux native' for Unix partitions, (unless their name happens to be 'swap'). The partition type/name thing is confusing, thanks Apple. The logic is as follows: The partition type describes what the partition is supposed to be used for - partition map, drivers, HFS or Unix data partitions. For Linux, we hijacked the A/UX partition type (assuming MacOS knows not to touch those). The partition type could be anything, perhaps, I've never tried that (and I've been using mac-fdisk on m68k and ppc since its rewrite from the MkLinux pdisk tool). Having fixed the type of a Linux partition (Apple_UNIX_SVR2) we still need to specify what particular use the partition is meant for. There's two choices, basically: filesystem, or swap (or LVM, as it later turned out). Currently, everything except 'swap' is interpreted as filesystem use, tagged 'Linux native'. You can name the filesystem partitions anything you like. Who cares about these distinctions? Honestly, it really doesn't matter except for the (old) installer. There's nothing wrong with using an unused partition of type Apple_HFS or Apple_Free for swap. There's more than one way to do it ... So: How do I create a swap partion on ppc? Using 'c', and 'swap' for the name. Then, mkswap -V1 /dev/whatever. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hda: lost interrupt starting with 2.6.8
Hello,
Starting with kernel 2.6.8 my iBook2 hangs during boot.
2.6.7 runs perfectly.
With the same config I had on 2.6.7 it just hangs at
adb: starting probe task...
But with the default debian kernel config it gets further,
but during the ide-pmac initialization just generates a
long stream of
hda: lost interrupt
Doing some searches on-line I've found a handful of people
with the same type of error. We've all been waiting at
2.6.7 hoping the problem would fix itself...
I've tried 2.6.8.1, 2.6.9, 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 all
with the same results.
Is there a good way to track down what's causing this
error?
Thanks

Re: will linus work on ppc dev now?
Linus is mostly using the G5, not really using it for developpement of ppc/ppc64 specific support, this is still in the hand of the good old team lead by Paul Mackerras :) i was thinking also that its not the 'port' thats the problem but more the lack of specs to support peripherals. powerpc chips are open spec i believe and IBM has an interest in the platform being stable in linux but they dont give a rats about airport extreme or DRI etc. which leads me into thinking that i cant see linus hacking airport extreme or doing some big X development. It has nothing to do with IBM's involvement. In fact, if you look closely at the DRI lists, you'll see some IBM folks involved ;) DRI for r300 is beeing worked one based on reverse engineering (paulus got bzflag working nicely on his G5 the other day) . Airport Extreme is a different matter, it's more complex and we all have alternate solutions, so nobody is spending time of that, but you are welcome to do so :) Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Powerbook5,6 longer list of what does not work...
Hi list ! I read the initiated by Antonio-M Corbi Bellot, and I am afraid that the list he provided is incomplete. So far, after about 3 weeks of fiddling with the various machine's settings, I have kind of acertained that the following hardware does not work (even with 2.6.11.2) : - Soundcard : it is recognized, but I am unable to play any sound, - Trackpad (we all know that now !!), - Keyboard (the fn key does not work, it does not modify the keycode of any key when held down), - PCMCIA (I am not sure about that one, but the none of my PCMCIA hardware works on the cardbus slot...)

It has nothing to do with IBM's involvement. In fact, if you look closely at the DRI lists, you'll see some IBM folks involved ;) im not saying they arent involved. my point was more they ship ppc based servers - so core stability would be my goal if i was them not bells and whistles.

Airport Extreme is a different matter, it's more complex and we all have alternate solutions, so nobody is spending time of that, but you are welcome to do so :) send me an airport express and then teach me some kernel coding and ill get to it... i would prefer someone to just sync some scanning code in for orinoco and make something official.

2.6.8 kernel compile failing on PowerMac G4/350
I am running Sarge (official test release 2004-11-18) on a PowerMac G4/350 (new Jan 2000). I believe this is the machine with the motherboard from the blue white G3s with a G4 just stuck in there (Yikes motherboard?). A couple days ago, I upgraded the kernel using the kernel-image-2.6.8-9-powerpc.deb package from the Debian FTP site. I installed the 2.6.8 kernel source deb that came on the Sarge distro CDs. When I attempt to compile, the process exits abnormally as follows: CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 sound/built-in.o(.init.text+0xb68): In function `dmasound_awacs_init': : undefined reference to `pmac_xpram_read' make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8' make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2 g4-debian:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8# The entire compile sequence (or at least the part that was captured in the scrollback buffer for my terminal window) can be viewed at http://home.comcast.net/~dejonsen/compile.htm The .config file for this compile attempt can be viewed at http://home.comcast.net/~dejonsen/config.htm Just for the heck of it, a log file containing all of the boot messages, including lots of complaining about the firewire interface (subject of a future inquiry) can be viewed at http://home.comcast.net/~dejonsen/bootlog.htm Any suggestions on fixing the compile problem would be greatly appreciated.

sound on albook
I just installed a sarge netinst daily image, it works fine but there are a few problems: - sound is not working, there is no /dev/dsp, I am using the standard 2.6.8 kernel from testing, what should I do, recompile the kernel, get a more recent one, etc? - how can I have the Command/Apple key behave as Alt instead of the Option key?

I think Vojtech will do a minimum fix soon as soon as he gets access to the HW (should happen next week I think). Later on, I'll try to figure out the gesture thing and other fancy stuff, at least once I have some physical access to my friend's box (read: when Apple delivers). - Keyboard (the fn key does not work, it does not modify the keycode of any key when held down), Interesting. Probably the new USB keyboard requires software handling of the Fn key... That would suck tho, unless we hide something in the driver. - PCMCIA (I am not sure about that one, but the none of my PCMCIA hardware works on the cardbus slot...) That should be fairly simple to fix as well. That's about it... Does sleep works ? If not, I expect it not to be too difficult to fix either...
