Re: Running pae kernel on non-pae system

As previously posted, I am definitely running a PAE kernel on a system which does not benefit from it. Boots no problem. The CPU probably does support it. The BIOS, however, does not.

Problem is that once this occurs, some things are crippled. After removing the syslog and daemonlog files, one must usually reboot. What caused this? In my case, it was the gpm mouse driver. Simply went wild with wireless mouse. SO I simply do not use it. The x driver does what I need.

Actually Using Conntrack?

2013-01-26 Thread David Baron
I still get that (harmless) string of warnings to use conntrack instead of the current, obsolete state match. I have conntract installed. So how do I use it? There is actually an nf_conntract I can see in dmesg: [ 67.093395] nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (16384 buckets, 65536 max)

Using 4gig PAE Capability

This is apparently not at all a rare problem. I put 4gig in my computer but it only recognizes 3gig. Is there any way for the kernel to bypass/override BIOS and see all the memory? I have a strange MB (it has ISA!!) so finding and flashing a new BIOS may not be possible or desirable. ALL the

I have a 64-bit processor running the 686 kernel and tried in the past, almost successfully, to migrate this to the full 64 bit. The 64 bit kernel can be installed, boots and runs fine. From this thread, I dpkg --add-architecture amd64. Did not change any upgrades or anything. Just a foreign

Every version upgrade of Dovecot causes config problems (running Sid). I hand edited the doveconf -n stuff in after choosing to keep my old .conf and not being able to get the choice again. Got it working, finally. KMail seems to be getting my imap stuff but get and error box each time: Error

Catastrophe on Bootup

2012-11-02 Thread David Baron
I get as far as the USB ports. From there I can get into a root-shell where I must vgmknodes to get my lvm volumes mounted! Various other inits like USB capabilities, network (cannot find eth2 device!), etc., rc.local, are not executed. Problem in udev which I cannot execute manually: sudo

Fixed! Can use the list once again.

As of late, on my Debian Sid box, every bootup shows recovering journal on all my ext3 filesystems. There ia often a bunch of orphaned inodes on the /usr! It is as if I hit the switch instead of an orderly halt shutdown. System otherwise is OK. Bug? Which package? Workaround (tried sync in my
