Re: no cd/dvd devices detected after kernel change
Using 2.6.24-1-686, my two IDE-connected cd/dvd drives are detected as /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1, symlinked to cdrom0 and cdrom1, and work perfectly. When I boot 2.6.25-2-686-bigmem, no entries for these devices appear in /dev. snip dmesg and lsmod output I'm not sure this is relevant but when I modinfo on ide_cd_mod it shows : filename: /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd_mod.ko license:GPL alias: ide-cd alias: ide:*m-cdrom* description:ATAPI CD-ROM Driver depends:ide-core,cdrom vermagic: 2.6.25-2-686 SMP mod_unload 686 parm: ignore:charp Note the description : *ATAPI* CD-ROM Driver. In the dmesg of your bigmem kernel your drivers seems to be recognize as SATA, not ATAPI. There's nothing about GSA-H55L in your dmesg ? Because on your normal kernel there is the name of the drives, not in the bigmem kernel. Is the lspci output the same for both kernels ? Thomas Preud'homme Thanks for your reply. GSA-H55L doesn't appear in dmesg for the bigmem kernel, nor do any references to DVD drives. Both appear when booting 2.6.4-1-686. Comparing outputs of lspci for the two kernels, there is a difference for the following device: 03:00.0 IDE interface [0101]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 8 Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:82a2] In the standard issue kernel, lspci reports: Kernel driver in use: pata_marvell Kernel modules: pata_marvell But the bigmem kernel: Kernel driver in use: ahci Kernel modules: ahci, pata_marvell Might this be the issue? I tried adding ahci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and rebooting the bigmem kernel, but the dvd devices are still not detected. -- Joe Hickey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I tried adding ahci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and rebooting the bigmem kernel, but the dvd devices are still not detected. I solved this problem by adding 'pata_marvell' to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and then rebuilding the initial boot image by typing 'sudo update-initramfs -u'. My guess is that pata_marvell wasn't being loaded early enough. Is this behaviour a bug/regression in the kernel, or just a quirk of my setup? -- Joe Hickey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

no cd/dvd devices detected after kernel change
Hello, Using 2.6.24-1-686, my two IDE-connected cd/dvd drives are detected as /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1, symlinked to cdrom0 and cdrom1, and work perfectly. When I boot 2.6.25-2-686-bigmem, no entries for these devices appear in /dev. With the working kernel, the relevant part of dmesg is: scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 2 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning ata5.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H55L, 1.05, max UDMA/66 ata5.01: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR-H30N, 1.00, max UDMA/33 usb 7-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 ata5.00: configured for UDMA/66 usb 7-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice ata5.01: configured for UDMA/33 BAR5:00:02 01:7F 02:22 03:CA 04:00 05:00 06:00 07:00 08:00 09:00 0A:00 0B:00 0C:07 0D:00 0E:00 0F:00 With the bigmem kernel, what looks like the corresponding part of dmesg: [0.812202] PCI: Setting latency timer of device :03:00.0 to 64 [0.812281] scsi5 : ahci [0.812455] scsi6 : ahci [0.812583] scsi7 : ahci [0.812645] ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 abar [EMAIL PROTECTED] port 0xfeaffd00 irq 16 [0.812705] ata6: SATA max UDMA/133 abar [EMAIL PROTECTED] port 0xfeaffd80 irq 16 [0.812765] ata7: DUMMY [0.874732] usb 7-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [0.875046] scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [0.875218] usb 7-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04b4, idProduct=6830 There are no error messages referring to the DVD drives elsewhere in dmesg. There's a slight difference in the output of lsmod | grep ide between the two kernels. For the working kernel: ide_cd 36224 0 cdrom 32512 2 ide_cd,sr_mod ide_core 108292 2 ide_cd,generic For the bigmem kernel that doesn't detect the drives: ide_cd_mod 33632 0 cdrom 32640 2 sr_mod,ide_cd_mod ide_pci_generic 4996 0 [permanent] ide_core 101624 2 ide_cd_mod,ide_pci_generic I have ide-core, ide-cd, cdrom and sr_mod listed in /etc/modules to try to ensure relevant stuff gets loaded at boot. I'd appreciate any advice about next steps for tracking down the problem. Best, -- Joe Hickey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Linksys USB200M in Lenny with kernel 2.6.24.
Is there any command such as, hypothetically, lseth or ethtool --list which will list all extant Ethernet devices? Will 'ifconfig' do the trick? -- Joe Hickey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please help, trying to get my soundcard working, really doing my head in. A simple way of finding a running process is to open a terminal and type: ps aux | grep name where 'name' is the name (or partial name) of the process you are looking for.
