No Sound with snd_hda_intel
Hi, after installing etch using the latest netinstall image, sound works fine if I use the debian kernel (2.6.17-2-686). However, sound does not work if I use a self compiled 2.6.19.1 kernel that uses exactly the same sound module as the debian kernel (snd_hda_intel, snd_hda_codec, snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm_oss, snd_pcm snd_timer, snd, soundcore, snd_page_alloc). Using the 2.6.19 kernel there are no error messages when loading snd_hda_intel, alsa tools e.g. alsamixer works fine, however there is no sound ...

sda: extended sense code = 2
block size assumed to be 512 bytes disksize = 1GB
sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0.
This happens when I try to boot kernel 2.4.4, kernel 2.4.1 works perfectly,
they are compiled with the same config file.
I have no idea what is going on here, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Some additional information is attached:

If inserting a disk and rebooting changes the message, then that's what's happened. A very strange, but good idea, it did change. Obviously it tries to boot from the zip drive which seems to become /dev/sda with kernel 2.4.4. That make sense, because the PC at home wich is very similar (except it has a real SCSI zip) worked without problems with 2.4.4. So then the problem changes to why isn't your SCSI interface being detected (which would precede the Zip scsi in the sda, sdb list). It is detected, but I can't read the messages because the boot process is too fast. Pressing pause which worked in earlier times (if I remember it correctly) does not stop the process, and shift+pg up does not work after the kernel panic. This does not really solve the problem, but at least I now know what the problem is, which is the first step in solving it. ;-) Thanks a lot. Daniel _ Daniel Faller Fakultaet fuer Physik Abt.

booting 2.4.4
Hi, I was using kernel 2.4.3 without any problems, but kernel 2.4.4 refuses to boot. I do not think that my kernel Configuration is wrong. There was a Thread trouble booting 2.4.4 some days ago, which suggested to put: do_initrd = Yes in /etc/kernel-img.conf and initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.4 in /etc/lilo.conf My Custom made kernel.deb did not make a /boot/initrdxxx file, so I did it myshelf with: mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.4.4-686 /lib/modules/2.4.4 But no success, it refuses to boot and basically tells me that it can not find my /root partiton, but a root=... line is included in lilo.conf. So what can I do in order to boot kernel 2.4.4 ? And where can I find information about such dramatic changes concerning the boot process (In advance) ? The (kernel) Changes file did not mention anything. Versions of packages (possibly) related to the problem: ||/ Name Version +++-=== ii kernel-package 7.40 ii modutils 2.4.2-0.bunk ii initrd-tools 0.1.7 ii lilo 21.4.3-2 Any help is appreciated.

ntop and nfs in potato
Hi, sorry for the not very specific subject line, but I have a very strange problem in potato concerning StarOffice, ntop and nfs. I am running an up to date potato with kernel 2.2.14 and user space nfs. If I start either StarOffice or ntop in an xterm the machine gets completly locked (no keyboard, no mouse and no ssh possible). At console 1 I see messages which are to fast to read, but I can seen the ip number of the nfs server distributing /home and /usr. The logs (daemon.log) of the nfs server show: Mar 14 06:34:05 nfs-server inetd[110]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit status 0x1 Mar 14 06:34:05 nfs-server rpc.mountd[16847]: connect from nfs-client Mar 14 06:34:05 nfs-server mountd[16847]: unable to register (mountd, 2, udp). Interestingly ntop works on the console, (I can not try soffice there :-( ). The same thing happens on a machine which has /usr local and only mounts /home. I am not surprised by a strange behaviour of StarOffice, but whats about ntop ? Any idea whats going on here ? Cheers Daniel _ Daniel Faller Fakultaet fur Physik Abt.

mrtg/snmp in potato
Hi, after upgrading some machines to potato they refuse to answer the snmp requests from mrtg. I am by no means an snmp expert, I just edited 2 lines in snmpd.conf and it worked for slink. So I have no idea how to fix this. I get: SNMP Error: Received SNMP response with error code error status: noSuchName Also a simple command like cfgmaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] fails with the same error. I suppose this should work with the standard configuration. Has anybody an idea how to fix this easily. I tried to look in the snmp documentation, /usr/doc/snmp + snmpd without any success. To be honest, now I am really surprised how I managed to get this work with slink. :-) What I want to do is: Get a nice statistics of the cpu and NIC load.

xauth problem in potato
Hi, today I upgraded from slink to potato. Everything worked fine despite ssh. I enabled X11 forwarding in ssh_config. When I log from the potato box to another slink box everything works fine. But when I ssh from a slink box into the potato machine I get a /usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to open tmp file /tmp/Xauthef4473-n /usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to write authority file /tmp/Xauthef4473-n and X11 forwarding does not work. This file (Xauthef4473-n) exists and has the following permissions: -rw---1 myname users Any ideas how to solve this problem ? Thanks in advance.

PV Wave 7.0
Hi ! Has anyone managed to get PV-Wave 7.0 working with slink or potato ? After several problems during installation, I now get a segmentation violation when starting wave. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Debian: XFree86] Linux shut down the VGA-Output
On Sat, 30 Oct 1999 you wrote Michelle Konzack: Now when I reboot, it waits very lon at a Font-Server and then if the bootprocess continuses, the monitor flash 2 times and then they go in Stand-By mode and shut down. Boot from debian rescue disk, or a mini-linux distribution, such as tomsrtbt and mount your /root partition. Disable xdm startup with something like mv /etc/init.d/xdm /etc/init.d/xdm_startup, or whatever starts your X (kdm,) Then reboot to console and use XF86Setup to configure X properly, try startx -probeonly if not sure which settings will work. After X is configured properly enable xdm mv /etc/init.d/xdm_startup /etc/init.d/xdm -- Daniel Faller Fakultaet fur Physik Abt.

Bad UMNT RPC
Hi ! Since 2 days I get the following error messages in syslog: Sep 28 12:05:22 abba automount[28374]: running expiration on path /misc Sep 28 12:05:25 abba automount[28374]: Bad UMNT RPC: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused Sep 28 12:05:25 abba automount[28374]: expired /misc/home Sep 28 12:05:25 abba automount[28374]: expired /misc/mail The automounter mounts 2 NFS directories in the local filesystems. I don't remember any changes I made in the last few days which could have caused this error messages. What does this error message mean ? What can I do to stop it ?

rm strange file/device
Hi ! In the Netscape cache directory I found the following file: c---rw---x 1 8240 12641105, 101 Jul 22 2034 cache36876DC80351532.class I do not know how to get rid of it. I tried rm -f and chattr -i but I only get Operation not supported by device / Operation not permitted if I try to delete / chattr as root. fsck reports the disk to be okay. MAKEDEV seems to delete character devices with rm -f, but this does not work. I have no idea how this file was created. 8240/12641 is no valid uid/gid. Any help appreciated.

kernel problems (NFS and lockd)
Hi ! We have the following 2 problems with NFS: ( Clients and Server running Debian Linux 2.1 with kernel 2.2.6 ) 1) When a user edits a file on one client and then changes to another client to edit the file again , it takes about 10-15 seconds until the second client recognizes that the file has changed. In such situations syslog reports: kernel: __nfs_fhget: inode 557269042 busy, i_count=2, i_nlink=1 kernel: nfs_free_dentries: found p5/spektrum.o, d_count=0, hashed=1 kernel: nfs_dentry_delete: p5/spektrum.o: ino=557269042, count=2, nlink=1 2) Sometimes we get in syslog: kernel: nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=-13 kernel: lockd: failed to monitor Ip adress of NFS server Has anyone similar problems, and what solutions do you suggest. Would an upgrade to 2.2.10 help ? Thanks in advance . -- Daniel Faller Fakultaet fur Physik Abt. Honerkamp Albert-Ludwigs-Universitaet Freiburg Tel.: 0761-203-5875 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My CD-R has SCSI ID 6, but the kernel doesn't appear to be finding it at all. I have scsi disks and scsi cd-roms included in my kernel and I run kernels 2.2.1. Anyone have any ideas to try?
