This is not a USB stick but a piece of hardware you plug in on the usb slot.

What happens if the user plug ins instead your USB stick a normal live USB ubuntu i.e. It will boot, the NFS shares can be mounted (cause you authenticate on system level) and the sense of some security is gone.

Re: [Opensync-users] opensync-0.22 packages for Debian squeeze, testers wanted
As far as I see there are not that many people working on syncml, so I would focus on pushing 0.40 into sid, because it will become very soon testing. For the current testing (squeeze) I would have either 0.22 or nothing. If it is not working it will be ok to leave it without official debian installers. I could build packages for debian and offer them from unofficial install repo.

This should make Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices work again. The current plan (which has not been approved by the Debian release team yet) is to upload a 0.22 package with some additional patches to testing-proposed-updates, followed by similar 0.22 packages for the opensync-plugin-file and opensync-plugin-evolution packages. All the packages are still in unstable and can be installed from there (or from squeeze in case they transition). Unfortunately, the 0.22 version of the syncml plugin does not work with modern releases of libsyncml, so opensync-plugin-syncml will have to get dropped for squeeze (unless somebody ports it to libsyncml-0.5.4, I do not have the time for this). You can get the reverted packages from this repository: deb http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/opensync-squeeze/ ./ libopensync0, python-opensync, opensync-plugin-file, opensync-plugin-evolution As mentioned above, you need to get all the other 0.22 plugins from unstable for now. I am especially interested in tester reports from Blackberry (barry) and Windows Mobile (synce) users, as I dot not own any such device.

I'm not sure that what you're planning won't work, but if I were you I'd do it like this: Create a live USB system (see my instructions in the live cd/usb projects thread). Install all the same software as your current laptop ha. Then transfer over your data. Supposedly you can test your USB image using Qemu, although I've never done it myself. http://live.debian.net/manual/html/ch03s03.html#id2911160 -Rob Hm, not necessary to install from scratch. Just copy over to the usb and put in fstab and relevant files (grub,etc) the disk id instead of /dev/sda (you need udev for this), so you can be sure to use the same device no matter which id it sd id it gets assigned to. recreate initrd and possibly hack it. For me I needed to add manually command for inserting dm-mod and triggering vgscan/vgchange on a crypted partition with lvm. After playing a bit I managed it to get a working initrd. It's all mater of initrd to get it running. A major issue is that there are different machines on around with different chipsets cpus etc, so you'll need more generic kernel and drivers ... may be 386 to be sure it will run on each system, or get some 386, 586 and 686. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: bi-directional file-synchronization tool

You mean perhaps once installed you can not easily switch. This means I would add i.e. a disk to my server, boot in 32 as usual, partition, format and debootstrap --arch=amd64. Make the disk bootable and reboot in this disk. Actually by writing this I'm thinking that usually administrators do install the system on extra partition(s) (/, /var, /usr etc) so I could use a USB disk to install on it, reboot and after migration is done I could delete the system partition(s) and copy the new system over from the USB disk.

Liviu Downgrade is bad when you upgrade the kernel. Reverse! alsaconf is not that reliable - it most probably does not recognize the ati model and can not configure. It got too late I have to go to bed, so I won't be available to guide you further but you can google or read the documentation. I would update to current level of alsa (libraries and utils). reboot is good for alsa. But may be before reboot try to set a config file for your card in modprobe.d as described in the other mail. I guess in 2.6.26 the workaround you mentioned (alsactl -init) is just configuring the driver for your ati chip or may be the chip itself. Putting configuration in a file would configure all your sound cards the same way everytime. I recommend this because I'm using usb camera, mic etc and if you plug them in different order they occupy different sound slots which has the effect that you have to change devices in apps. However this is changing now, but until the metamorphosis is complete tell the system which card should be #0,1,2 etc. I'm sure there is useful information you can find with google for your specific card. Many things have changed (especially HDMI support) in recent alsa, so I guess the issue is that now finally HDMI for you card is also supported. Of course it could be also a bug in the kernel code and then you should downgrade the kernel and wait for fix. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I still tried to gunzip one, just in case that would still be a compressed file without usual extension, but no, it is not handled by gunzip or zcat. I tried cpio on that file as is, but I got : 'cpio: premature end of file'. a 'vi filename' shows that this is a binary file. No point to edit then. Did you try bzip? So, at this point, I don't have a clue of how to build an initrd.img file that would allow my newly compiled 2.6.30.4 kernel to boot on my system. You know pretty much already.

Re: problem compiling kernel
Bernard wrote: 2.6.30.4 does compile all right, so does 2.6.26, but 2.6.20 does not. you find out why in the archives Problem is that I still can't boot those I compiled, i.e. 2.6.26. because the initrd.img is buggy. I did find something, still it is not enough to get the process to work. In my /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf file, I found a modified line : # Command to generate the initrd image. # MKIMAGE='mkcramfs %s %s /dev/null' this has been changed august 19, # 2009 MKIMAGE='genromfs -d %s -f %s' The change date has not been written by me, so this must be a conf file that came with a recent package upgrade that I did. I tried uncommenting the old line, commenting the new one instead. MKIMAGE='mkcramfs... became active. What gave me this idea, is that in those error messages that I could see at crash, it was matter of cramfs. Well that change made mkinitrd to produce smaller images. I tried installing them in the grub boot menu, and then, now, the boot crashes do not happen at the same time as before... but it still crashes ! I could do nothing else than catch photos of my screen, since no log file are recorded in such cases. http://www.teaser.fr/~bdebreil/bootcrash1.jpg so this is the old error, and you don't need a fix for it and http://www.teaser.fr/~bdebreil/bootcrash2.jpg will show you what I got The first crash screen is not very informative : could not load '/lib/modules... no such files I don't think so it's as informative as it should be. It can not mount sdb2 (is it your root?) (these files exist, but at this point in time it is not in the /boot partition, therefore not mounted as yet). This crash came from a kernel which I had configure to have RAID inside, not as modules. While watching the boot logs of my working kernel, I could see that RAID was as modules. So, I recompiled a new kernel with modules for RAID, and then boot went a little bit further, as can be seen in the screen picture at crash : 'raid1 set md1 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors mdadm : /dev/md1 has been started with 2 drives' but then : 'mkdir cannot create directory '/devfs/vg00' : read only filesystem .. failure to communicate to kernel device mapper driver incompatible libdevmapper 1.01.00-ioctl (2005-01-17) (compat) and kernel driver' The problem is as far as I remember that devfs was given up ... was it something that worked with hotplug ... I really don't remember right now, but there was a change affecting devmapper. I think you have to read about it, perhaps replace it and recreate initrd. Compiling md in the kernel is the right approach to boot from raided root without initrd. You can try this just skipping (deleteing the line in grub temporary) I think that this last quoted line does most explain that the tools I am using are not appropriate. I have good grounds to think that the problems are in my initrd.img file... but there may also be something wrong in the compiled kernel image. try without initrd (with custom kernel, you can put everything you need inside it (i.e filesystem support ide/ata etc) you then can access your root partition and the boot process will continue from there. The initrd is only needed to load drivers which helps you do the above. Because you are using lvm, if not using initrd you need to compile also lvm inside the kernel. Could someone please tell me what tool packages to purge and what to install instead so that I can recompile a 2.6.26 or 2.6.30 kernel that will boot on my Debian 3.1 system with raid 1 ? There are good howtos for upgrading from sarg - etch and etch - lenny. You definitely better use udev ... devmapper is not needed anymore as far as I know. I did it last year ... and yes there were some troubles with the initrds ...

Hi, I'm using custom kernel but I played also with the default one. I already posted once that there is a problem with the update-initramfs ro the make equivalent. The problem is that if you are using let say 2.6.18 and upgrade to 2.6.24 the program is using the information available to the system (which modules would be included in the initrd disk). So if I haved some module compiled in in 2.6.18 it will not be included in the new initrd. Seems that here the opposite happens. You get your megaraid drivers included and you don't want to have them in. I'm not sure if blacklist is working in initram. I think it's safe to remove them from the archive. The other think would be possibly to set the bios not to map the magaraid device to the first bootable. and last but not least it's pretty tricky to boot broken initram but not too hard if you know the steps. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
