Same exact problem on my DS20L machines, I had to drop back to 2.6.5-1-smp (obsolete but stable). -Original Message- From: Toni L. Harbaugh-Blackford [Contr] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 2:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jan-Jaap van der Heijden;

fyi, I've been running samba 3.0.6-3 (3.0.6-Debian) on Alpha for more than 3 months without much problem. I'm running a system installed with woody(stable) and updated to sarge(testing). fwiw, Dan -Original Message- From: James D. Freels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday,

I don't have the exact log any more, but partman showed a small free partition at the beginning (where / should have been), a partition corresponding to the swap partition (but not identified as such), and a large free partition afterwards corresponding to the entire rest of the disk. partman in

After creating a useful BSD disklabel and partition scheme, the d-i doesn't allow you do choose mount points outside of partman! It claims there's no root filesystem and puts you back into parman which can't see the partitions to select mount points for them!? Erm. This is quite

Why late registration of ide? (debian/alpha 2.4.26)

2004-06-03 Thread Cernese, Dan
I have a 2.2.22-SMP+testing environment running and am trying to get a 2.4 kernel running on a DS20L (IDE drives). I tried the 2.4.26 SMP and backed off to the 2.4.26-generic kernel, but it behaves very oddly when it doesn't initialize the IDE driver in time and appears to not recover gracefully.

I'm in the middle of dealing with this same issue, I cannot figure out how to partition my IDE drive in a DS20L (that has no floppy; only a CD and an IDE drive). Using SRM... I started with sarge/testing's netboot installer (both minimal and base-system CD images), but learned the hard way it

Aah, I tried this route. Unfortunately, the woody e100 driver is so unstable as to hit continualy transmit timeouts which prevent a useful upgrade. Maybe I'll stick a tulip card in just to do the upgrade. sigh. -Original Message- From: Jiann-Ming Su [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm trying to install a clean sarge/testing debian on a DS20L, but with little success. (It's an IDE drive, no floppy, no SCSI drive but has a built-in SCSI). I was able to use the debian-installer to shell-out and execute fdisk to create a BSD disklabel and useful partitions. The shell,

Recommendation for kernel/compiler versions on CS20?

2004-05-04 Thread Cernese, Dan
I was just given a couple DS20L(CS20), but I cannot seem to get any version of the kernel to compile that doesn't panic trying to mount the root fs. For now, I'm running a pre-packaged 2.2.20-generic (20021219) 3.0r1 'woody', and gcc 2.95.4. I've tried to build (2.2.20, 2.2.22) without SMP to
