Re: Quake3 hangs after GL Initialisation
Have you tried running without sound? You should also try killing esd and any other processes using up your /dev/dsps. If sound init fails Q3 does hang after switching resolution, so I think sound is your problem. Aq.

The problem is caused by some problems in the libpam* packages. To boot into single user mode, if you're using lilo, just append s to the end of your image name when you boot, like: LILO: linux s It will then boot and ask you for root password, which will work.

Re: Help!!! Ethernet card hell!
I don't know what could be wrong with your ethernet card, but it can't be Debian's fault, coz the network driver modules are part of the linux kernel. Perhaps you should just compile your own kernel. It could just be a loose cable or something :) I know that the natsemi.o module exists in the current kernel version 2.4.5 (and probably in many other versions before that). You need CONFIG_NATSEMI=m in your kernel config. Cheers, Aq. On 23 Jun 2001 11:42:19 -0400, Aaron Traas wrote: Overall, I love Debian as an OS.

I am unable to get 2.2r3 because A) my CDRW on my Windoze box just died, and B) I can't get this machine to work with any ethernet card I have, so installing over the network is not an option. I've tried absolutely everything on the Tulip variants... all versions of the driver included (ng_tulip, old_tulip, tulip) in various ways. Most recently, I got one of the variants of the tulip to work by installing a clean system, and entering the following commands: insmod tulip ifconfig eth0 inet 10.1.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255 ifconfig eth0 up ping 10.1.1.1 And everything worked fine! It was great! So I decided to re-install the system, and configure everything I wanted. I selected the tulip driver, and it loaded. I entered the same information above, along with a default gateway and DNS server address. The install finished, and I tried to ping the same address. It timed out. I tried various things, including rmmoding the driver, and insmoding it, and redoing everything with ifconfig, but nothing works. I'd like to know what is going on here. I know for the fact the card was working just a few minutes ago. I also know that all of the cards I have work well under both Red Hat and Mandrake, which I used prior to Debian and got sick of. Also, what driver am I supposed to use for the Netgear FA311? In other distros, it uses natsemi.o, which is not present in Debian 2.2r2. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Re: Compiling same kernel
It is a little different, Debian has this package called kernel-package (apt-get install it) which contains a script called make-kpkg to create debian packages from kernel source. The usual procedure is this: - download the kernel source for 2.2.17 - unpack it into /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 - create symlink from /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 to /usr/src/linux (housekeeping) - do your sound card patching or whatever you wanted to do here - cd /usr/src/linux - make menuconfig (or xconfig or whichever you prefer) - make-kpkg kernel-image this would create kernel-image-2.2.17-???.deb in /usr/src Then just dpkg -i the package.

There is support for most chipsets, and it usually auto detects UDMA support if you have the right chipset support compiled. Make sure you are using an 80w IDE cable as well, you need that for UDMA(66).

Re: UDMA66 doesn't work
Yeh you need a special IDE cable, though if your motherboard supports UDMA mode 4 or 5 it *should* already come with one (or more). it's got finer cables than a normal 40w IDE cables, and usually colour coded black, gray, blue for IDE master, slave, motherboard.

There is support for most chipsets, and it usually auto detects UDMA support if you have the right chipset support compiled. Make sure you are using an 80w IDE cable as well, you need that for UDMA(66). You might need the append=idebus=66 ide0=ata66 line in you lilo.conf (assuming you use lilo and your hdd is on ide0) if it doesn't auto detect. Hope that helps. Aq. Another note: When i start my BIOS says: Primary IDE: No 80 consuctor cable installed. I guess thats it, isn't it... do i have to buy a seperate one? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] For encrypted Mail get my Public Key from search.keyserver.net ID is: 0xEC4950E9 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: loki games under woody
I have glibc 2.2.3 installed and I can play the Descent 3 demo from loki, as the tribes 2 full version, which also states that glibc 2.1 is a requirement. I think loki is just trying to say that glibc 2.1 is the lowest common denominator...
