driver for PCMCIA
Hi, We have an embedded PC104 module. We would like to know if there is any driver for linux for PCMCIA Card Reader / Writer with this PC104 interface. Actually, we have a PCM-220D1card. We would be gratefull if you could send us some information about any driver. Best Regards, ANA
Cosillas sobre Impresión
Hola debian-user-spanish, Tengo algunas dudas sobre impresión: 1º) Qué diferencias hay entre 'lpr' y 'lprng': cuándo es mejor usar una u otra 2º) idem para magicfilter y apsfilter 3º) Cómo se debe configurar en 'printcap' ( o donde deba hacerse ) una impresora que tiene tarjeta de red y una dirección IP fija, sin estar conectada a ningún PC directamente.

En windows (cuando tenia windows en una P120 con 32mb ram) usaba un programa que lograba hacer esto sin inconvenientes, lo cual es sin duda debido a que windows no defragmenta el disco mientras se graba en el permitiendo que las aplicaciones usen a su antojo el 100% de la CPU como en el DOS. Bien... sugerencias? escucho atento y muchas gracias Tengo un amigo que trabaja en temas de sonido con linux y el utiliza el RTLinux, que es un parche y un soft para poder conseguir un sistema de tiempo real de tipo hard, que supongo que es lo que te interesa... Un poco pa' que veas por donde van los tiros con el RT te diré que se mete entre el sistema de E/S y el kernel y es capaz de desbancar al propio kernel de la CPU, consiguiendo resultados muy buenos por lo que he oido.

Re: Cosillas sobre Impresión
Hola Luis: 3º) Cómo se debe configurar en 'printcap' ( o donde deba hacerse ) una impresora que tiene tarjeta de red y una dirección IP fija, sin estar conectada a ningún PC directamente. En mi printcap tengo una entrada para una impresora postcript en red que dice así: hp4050|hp4050:\ :lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4050:rm=192.134.125.12:rp=hp4050:lpr_bounce:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/ps600-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: Los campos importantes en este caso son rm (remote machine) y rp (remote printer). Como sólo hay una impresora detrás de esa ip, no he tenido problema al darle cualquier nombre a la cola remota (el campo rp) porque sale por la única impresora que hay. Si fuese un servidor de impresión con varias colas de impresión, tendrías que decirle el nombre de la cola para distinguir entre las diferentes impresoras. Pero este creo que no es tu caso, así que le digas el nombre que le digas, te lo mandará a la única cola que tiene. ¡Ah! Esta entrada del printcap ha sido generada con el magicfilterconfig. Si tocas el printcap acuérdate de reiniciar el lprng ejecutando # /etc/init.d/lprng restart este olvido me costó una tarde de frustación con el printcap :-( Saludos K-charro

Re: Mis problemas con Apache
Hell-o a todos! He instalado en mi máquina el servidor web Apache para hacer practicas con PHP/MySQL y cual es mi sorpresa cuando me deja acceder bien a las paginas generales (a las que accedería con http://mimaquina) pero no a las que debería poder poner cada usuario de forma personal (a las que deberia poder accederse de modo (http://mimaquina/~usuario). ¿Alguna idea de por donde atacar el tema? ¿Puedes concretar más el error que te da? ¿Te dice que no tienes permisos, que no encuentra la página, no ejecuta el php, no accede a mysql?

En resumen: 1) Instalar las últimas versiones de dpkg y apt (están en ese mismo directorio). 2) Preparar el mount point /cdrom para montar el cd, es decir, crear el directorio y poner una línea en fstab que diga algo así como: /dev/hdc /cdrom autodefaults,noauto,ro 0 0 (cambiar /dev/hdc por el que corresponda al cd). La idea es que el comando mount /cdrom funcione. 3) Comentar todas las líneas del archivo /etc/apt/sources.list 4) Ejecutar: apt-cdrom add para cada uno de los cd's de binarios que tengas. Para actualizar la base de datos del apt, tendrás que hacer: apt-get update También puedes pasar a usar el dselect nuevamente, usa el método de acceso apt (sin modificar el sources.list). Ahí le das Update (no se porqué me dio la impresión de que no es lo mismo que el apt-get update), y listo. -- Saludos, O__ Enzo.,/ ()=\() Enzo A.

La pregunta es adecuada a esta lista y la respuesta se ajusta a la
pregunta. Confío por ello en no molestar a nadie.
Sobre esto tienes varias referencias en:
http://www.ciberdroide.com/misc/donde/dondelinux.html
Tiene más de 900 enlaces clasificados por temas. El formato en el que
están estas páginas de enlaces permite que lo descarges sin problemas ya
que otras páginas de enlaces están basadas en CGI's y ha de ser todo
interactivo pero aun así no tiene sentido descargarlo todo. Mete una
referencia de dondelinux en tu Bookmark. Eso es lo mejor porque es una
información que se actualiza y te ahorrarás muchas preguntas de tipo
donde..?
Concretamente lo que buscas está en la sección de descarga de ficheros
y podría ser:

It's an : [12]interesting message, well worth reading even if you [13]disagree : with his ideas. Para mí, este modelo de grupos de paquetes es inmanejable. El modelo de Anthony Towns es automático y por lo tanto, es más fácil que funcione. No conozco las diferencias entre esos modelos ni porque el sistema de grupos de paquetes puede resultar inmanejable. Me gustaría leer eso pero acabo de decir que no siempre entiendo lo que se dice en Ingles y por eso pregunto las cosas en esta lista. Si puedes mencionar aunque sea la idea general te lo agradeceré aunque yo pienso que todas las soluciones técnicas que han ido surgiendo para combatir los problemas derivados del aumento en número de paquetes se quedan cor= tas o surgen problemas por otro lado. El aumento en el tiempo para estabilizar una versión sería en mi opinión quizas el problema más importante= en este=20 momento. Por un lado está la distribución `testing', que sustituye a `frozen'. El modelo sería ago así: [ Stable ] -- Updates mínimos, seguridad, bugs vergonzosos... /-- [ Testing ] -- Distribución actualizada moderadamente, com paquet= es | que han probado su calidad. | \-- [ Unstable ] -- Todos los paquetes nuevos van a esta distribución. Joder, que infografía más total. La idea es tener una distribución casi preparada para el release permanentemente, y que no pase lo que ha ocurrido con Potato, que al congelar había más de 300 bugs críticos. Como? Este modelo equivale en mi modesta opinión (Soy muy ignorante de estas cosas) a continuar usando un embudo solo que más grande. Lo que yo quiero decir es que este modelo no eslaca bien y que el aumento en número de paquetes provoca tensiones en muchos sitios resultando a priori saber por donde va a reventar. Los paquetes ahora se suben sólo a unstable. Ahí, la gente que usa esa distribución los testea. Si nadie les pone un rcbug durante 14 días, pu= eden pasar a ser aptos para `testing'. Un script mira los paquetes de unstable, y ve que foo tiene 14 días de vida y ningún rcbug. Mira las dependenc= ias, ve que no hay ningún problema, y automáticamente coge el paquete y lo instala en testing. Esto es la idea básica, y se supone que testing sólo debería tener un= os 10 bugs críticos permanentemente. Me parecen pocos, pero vamos, no serán 3= 00 :) Tiene problemas, si algún paquete saca versiones or revisiones cada menos= de 14 días, nunca llegará a testing, o el posible caso de que todo el mund= o que usa unstable ahora se pase a testing ya que es mucho más seguro (aunque siempre quedará la gente que no puede esperar 2 semanas), y otros temas similares. Es una situación que es mejor que la anterior pero insisto en que desde mi punto de vista se puede quedar corta demasiado pronto. Bueno pues yo creo que Debian con la estructura actual no escala bien. Es una estructura en forma de rastrillo. Hay demasiada gente trabajando al mismo nivel. Es decir trabajando en el mantenimiento de paquetes. Las tareas de tipo global se ven sobrecargadas de trabajo. Por esa razón falta gente y sobra gente. Es un problema de organización. Y que quieres? Una estructura piramidal? Yo no, desde luego. Bueno la palabra piramidal tiene connotaciones negativas pero nadie es capaz de coordinar simultaneamente el trabajo de muchas personas eficientemente. Por eso una estructura jerarquica (también suena feo) o en arbol funcionará siempre mejor. No se trata de un problema de galones o de autoridad. Se trata de un problema de coordinación. En muchas organizaciones donde los miembros deben tener una autoridad equivalente se establecen turnos rotatorios o por sorteo. Tambien se puede establecer quienes entran en este sistema y quienes no. En una comunidad de copropietarios se evita que personas demasiado ancianas entren en este sistema de turnos. En Debian se podría establecer unos criterios de antiguedad. Lo que quiero decir es que no me parece imposible de hacer aunque comprendo que no es sencillo y que quizas existe una enorme inercia en la forma de funcionar. Creo que el mensaje anterior de Debian.news de dividir en secciones la=20 distribución serviría precisamente

Re: Intranet Linux
Hola a todos :) como estas ?? bueno las cosas se pueden decir que estan caminando gracias a cada uno de ustedes, pude conectar las dos maquinas por medio de Telnet, inicie sesiones en el servidor y viceversa. hasta alli todo perfecto. Enzo Dari ha escrito: Sería extraño que no esté instalado el NFS, en linux es de lo más estándar. Lo que puede pasar es que es script encargado de arrancar los daemons relacionados con nfs detecte que el exports está vacío y no los dispare. Así es como funciona en Debian Slink si no me equivoco. Tendrías que crear el archivo exports y ejecutar: /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs stop /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs start cada vez que modifiques el archivo exports, para que los cambios tengan efecto deberías hacer: /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs reload En Debian Potato las cosas parece que cambiaron. No existe sino que están: nfs-common y nfs-server. Supongo que el método de arriba funciona, cambiando netstd_nfs, por nfs-server. Esto no me funcionó, primero no tengo el /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs a continucion listo lo que encontre: /var/lib/dpkg/info/netstd.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/netstd.prerm /etc/init.d/netsd_init /etc/init.d/netstd_misc esos son los archivos que tengo en las distribuciones, no se si alguno de esos funciona, puedo ver que cuando cargo la Debian me monta el NFS, o sea que estoy seguro que en esta distribucion no hay problema, no lo he probado porque solo cuento con otra maquina aparte de la mia y esa tiene la Corel y como les dije no pude hacerlo. La distribucion de Corel trae el Samba, ahora lo bajo y lo instalo en mi distribucion, creo que con esto puedo crear un entorno de red. Pregunta: 1.- Para poder accesar a los recursos en winsos tengo que conectarme a un servidor con un usuario y contraseña. ¿para conectarme al servidor de Linux tengo que hacer eso ?, ¿tengo que crear usuarios en el servidor, un grupo que contenga a esos usuarios y darle derechos a ese grupo para las diferentes aplicaciones a las que los usurios tendran acceso ? ... Sí, mas o menos. En unix todo el control se hace a través de usuario, mientras que en el protocolo smb (de windows) el control de acceso suele hacerse por recursos. Tengo que configurar el protocolo smb en winsos para que pueda ver el servidor Linux en el entorno de red?? lo busque pero no encontre ningun protocolo que se le parezca, pero note que hay uno que es Fabricante : Sunsoft Protocolo: Protocolo PC-NFS sirve este como el NFS de Linux ?? estamos hablando de lo mismo ?? alguien lo ha utilizado?? (muchas preguntas no?? ya no los jodo mas) Para compatibilizar el asunto el samba tiene que hacer malabares. Recomiendo fuertemente la lectura del SMB-HOWTO. Me di cuenta de esto, ahora me estoy dedicando a leer el SMB-HOWTO 2- Samba puede utilizarse como un servidor para clientes winsos. ¿que tengo que configurar para esto ? ... Los recursos exportados (o compartidos), todo se define en el archivo de configuración de samba: /etc/samba/smb.conf. 3- ¿Como me conecto a otra maquina? ... Conozco un par de clientes del protocolo smb: - smbclient: muy útil para hacer debugging, lo podés usar para ver los recursos disponibles en alguna máquina o para conectarte a algún recurso y poner/sacar archivos, imprimir files, etc. - smbmount: para realmente montar un directorio de la máquina remota en algún punto del árbol de directorios local. Lei algo sobre esto, lo intente usar en la distro Debian pero no me funcionó creo que me falta algo, en cuanto lo logre les comento por aqui. -- Saludos, Saludos a todos, gracias por la ayuda, les puedo decir que levantaron un servidor Linux mas :)) una vez mas gracias y seguimos en lo que falta.

Lo que quiero preguntarles es lo siguiente: 1- Puedo usar el getway del NT como salida internet ?? la direccion 129.9.201.1 la utilizamos en winsos para esto mediante un proxy-client, ¿puedo hacer esto con la intranet Linux?? Si lo que quieres decir es si puede salir un linux a traves de un NT, por supuesto que si. Si lo que querias decir es si puedes hacer lo mismo, pero utilizando un linux en vez de un NT, para salir a internet, pues tambien (y mejor). 2- Cuando le doy un ping desde cualquier maquina winsos al servidor Linux o a mi pc con Debian, funciona bien manda y recibe prefectamente, pero no puedo ver las maquinas desde el entorno de red. pero cuando le doy un ping desde mi pc o desde el servidor a cualquiera de las maquinas con winsos solo manda pero no recibo de vuelta, ¿a que se debe esto? cuando aborto el proceso con Ctrl-C me dice el numero de paqutes que envio y que no recibio ninguno de vuelta. Por partes: a) El entorno de red. Para poder ver las maquinas linux a traves del entorno de red de los windows, tienes que configurar un programa llamado 'samba'. En él, defines, al igual que en windows, que recursos quieres compartir entre los linux y los windows. Hasta que no hagas eso, no podrás ver los recursos de los linux en el entorno de red de windows, por lo menos no a traves del entorno de red. Eso no quita para que puedas acceder al resto de 'servicios' que ofrecen las maquinas linux. b) Rutas Parece que las tarjetas de red no andan muy finas. Te aconsejo una tranquila lectura de los camandos 'ifconfig' y 'route'. El primero te activará el dispositivo, mientras que el segundo es el encargado de asignar las rutas para cada uno de ellos.

Hi! I am attempting to connect my debian (potato) box to an NT network after installing the base sothat I can use dselect to update and install programs. Under Windows 95, I noted that the ip address under Settings--Network--TCP/IP has been set to 'automatically obtained' and there is no ip entered for Gateway or DNS. I have enabled DHCP (which I think was successfully enabled since by doing an ifconfig I get more or less the same results as I would using a static ip). A ping to the proxy ip and the isp dns ip was successful as well. However, when I run dselect and attempt to connect to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists, I get an error message about being unable to connect to the site. The proxy is M$ Proxy Server 2.0 whilst the webserver is M$ IIS, I think. I suspect that I need to be authenticated by the NT server before any ip stream are allowed to continue to my Debian box. I came to this conclusion because under Windows 95, I can't browse using Netscape or Opera but can do so using M$ Explorer (v5.0). I have search several web sites for the solution but to no avail. Someone suggested to me using smb-NT-verify or pam_smb to enable my Debian box to authenticate itself to the NT machine so that ip streams can continue to be forwarded to the Debian box and not just stop at the proxy server. Would appreciate some help from the community which I have grown fond of. Patrick Cheong

Dselect is very very slow --- lots of swapping. And try to install stuff, and it bombs out with not enough memory! Hi Mark, I have a similar machine and guessed that this would be a problem. Although I am going to leave mine with slink, I briefly toyed with the following idea: The problem is the huge package lists that are used for the dependency checkings. Obviously, with these lowend machines, you probably won't be installing all the gnome libs and a lot of other stuff. So why not remove anything that depends on say xlib, or has doc in it ... from the package lists? Hopefully, you may be able to chop out 50% or so from the total number of packages. This should at least speed things up considerably. Unfortunately before I got around to making a full blown filter that would be able to chop based on selectable criteria, I decided I wanted to use the machine as an X terminal, so I didn't continue and am staying slink (X -query works amazingly well). The attached script is embryo form only - knocks out dependers on xlib. The second thing to do would be perhaps to clean the cruft out of the status file. To use the script: 1. Remove X if installed. 2. apt-get update 3. cat /var/state/apt/lists/xx_Packages | chunder.pl Packages.short 4. dpkg --update-avail Packages.short 5. copy Packages.short back to /var/state/apt/lists/xx_Packages 6. apt-cache gencaches 7. apt-get dist-upgrade Disclaimers: 1. of course you will end up with a scrogged system, that is the whole point 2. it is a while since i used this (and _only_ on slink so pls read the man pages - my memory may have slipped up) 3. backup, only try if you know what you are doing, not my fault etc. HTH, mark. chunder.pl Description: Perl program

Re: ATA 66 support in Debian
Hi Petr!
I found a similar problem!
I was using my Maxtor on the mother board IDE with a normal cable and all
was well. I later changed the disk to the secondary mother board IDE
channel and installed an 80 pin cable to use at UDMA 66. The boot messages
indicated that UDMA 33 was still being used. This was also true of a
Seagate disk on the same channel and cable.
I added more disks, so I added a controller card (Hot Rod 66) and applied
all patches necessary to use this card under 2.2.16. When I connected the
Maxtor to the card, the system froze frequently and would only happily run
off the mother board controllers (at 33). I also started experiencing data
corruption on my SCSI disks!
I then tried the disk on the card again with a low density cable and it
hasn't complained since, my SCSI disks haven't complained and the system
has been running without rebooting for neary two weeks.
I also have the Seagate disk on the new card running at 66 and it hasn't
complained once.
To me this indicates two problems:
1) The driver for the mother board doesn't do 66
2) Maxtor drives are rubbish!
I know this doesn't help you, but maybe you're better off not trying!
Cheers,
Jason.

Hello, Could some kind soul please explain something I've never really figured out: how to make devices under /dev. Like today I tried to set up my scanner, but as there are no /dev/scanner (which is I think supposed to be a link) or /dev/sg* SANE can't detect anything. MAKEDEV says it doesn't know how to make the device scanner. I have a clean Potato box and the scanner worked under Slink, but then again it had /dev/scanner. Thanks for the enlightenment. And on a totally unrelated note: I wanted to see what this Quake is all about so I installed quake-svga, quake-x11 and quake-lib. When I invoke :/usr/games# ./quake-svga it comes back with ./quake-svga.real: No such file or directory but quake-svga.real is also under /usr/games. What gives? Cheerio, Hans
installing 2.1 in vmware
I am trying to install v2.1 in VMWare and everything works fine until I have to partition my virtual disk.

Does it think the virtual partiton is /dev/hda or will it axe my whole disk?? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks! = Chris T Haaker attachment: winmail.dat

Re: ATA 66 support in Debian
Quoting Daniel Whelan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: i use Debian 2.1 slink but it looks that ATA66 doesnt work - HD Maxtor Diamond Max. Is ATA66 supported in Debian, if so what to do ? It depends on the kernel you're using, Peter. ATA66 support was added sometime in the 2.3.x kernel series; the 2.4.0-test3 is the most recent. As far as I know, there is no ATA66 support in the 2.2.x series (perhaps there is a kernel patch though). Anyway, with a kernel that supports it I've had no trouble using it under debian. If you look in the potato directory, in the udma66 file, I believe you'll find kernel-image-2.2.17pre6 (?), which has a patch for ATA66. Gary

To lowercase the names:
$ for file in *HTM; do mv $file `echo $file | tr A-Z a-z`; done
then you can change the extension from .htm to .html
The trick aboave was embedding a shell command within `backtics`.
It get executed before the command is evaluated. e.g.
$ echo TESTING | tr A-Z a-z

He has about 20Meg swap as well. Dselect is very very slow --- lots of swapping. And try to install stuff, and it bombs out with not enough memory! Hi Mark, I have a similar machine and guessed that this would be a problem. Although I am going to leave mine with slink, I briefly toyed with the following idea: The problem is the huge package lists that are used for the dependency checkings. Obviously, with these lowend machines, you probably won't be installing all the gnome libs and a lot of other stuff. So why not remove anything that depends on say xlib, or has doc in it ... from the package lists? Hopefully, you may be able to chop out 50% or so from the total number of packages. This should at least speed things up considerably. Yes, that is obviously the problem. It seems a potentially hazardous solution however. It will be good if Debian eventually comes out with virtual distributions, ie a partial listing of packages, tailored to certain needs. I did hear rumours of this kind of idea being implemented, but I don't know if anything's been done about it. In the meantime, we're going to create some extra swap space, and wait forever for it to install everything. Cheers, Mark. Unfortunately before I got around to making a full blown filter that would be able to chop based on selectable criteria, I decided I wanted to use the machine as an X terminal, so I didn't continue and am staying slink (X -query works amazingly well). The attached script is embryo form only - knocks out dependers on xlib. The second thing to do would be perhaps to clean the cruft out of the status file. To use the script: 1. Remove X if installed. 2. apt-get update 3. cat /var/state/apt/lists/xx_Packages | chunder.pl Packages.short 4. dpkg --update-avail Packages.short 5. copy Packages.short back to /var/state/apt/lists/xx_Packages 6. apt-cache gencaches 7. apt-get dist-upgrade Disclaimers: 1. of course you will end up with a scrogged system, that is the whole point 2. it is a while since i used this (and _only_ on slink so pls read the man pages - my memory may have slipped up) 3. backup, only try if you know what you are doing, not my fault etc. HTH, mark. -- _/\___/~~\ /~~\_/~~\__/~~\__Mark_Phillips /~~\_/[EMAIL PROTECTED] /~~\HE___/~~\__/~~\APTAIN_ /~~\__/~~\ __ They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!

Some unix tricks for dos files
Often we have got files, which originate from m$ programs.
1)
msword documents I wanted to make into html. There is a program called
mswordview, and it can convert and copy the files by doing:
for file in *.doc; do mswordview $file ${file%.doc}.html; done
2)
The extensions are often wrong. They can be changed:
for file in *.HTM; do cp $file ${file%.HTM}.html; done
3)
To get lowercase letters for capitals:
for file in *HTM; do cp $file `echo $file | tr A-Z a-z`; done

Re: Laptop email
Wow, yeah, that would work. Good job! I wanted to avoid building the whole thing myself, you see. In the Windows 98 build you actually do a File-Offline-something or other that lets you read (and browse) in an offline mode. It uses the IMAP cache and the browser cache to do this. Probably it's mainly just the flick of a switch in the code, really, when you consider both caches are already there. This menu option isn't present in the potato build, nor any other UNIX build I've ever seen, for that matter. I think folks used to assume anything running UNIX was full-time networked. Just ain't so anymore. Andre Berger wrote: Cory Snavely [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This is the *exact* same problem I have.

My biggest complaint, though, is that the potato Netscape doesn't seem to have the same offline reading capability as the Windows 98 one. Does anybody know about that (why that feature doesn't seem present)? You just have to use it ;) I have exim to send mail from and fetchmail to download mail to my potato box. Add shell scripts to /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ that send and receive mail automatically as soon as you go online. Set (Netscape) Preferences | Incoming Mail Servers 's Server Type to Movemail. I had to use External MoveMail '/usr/lib/xemacs-21.1.10/powerpc-debian-linux/movemail' from xemacs21-nomule's bin package because the Builtin MoveMail didn't work. Set the User Name to the login name on your own box (your $USER). BTW I have unchecked any other button there. As soon as the scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ have finished, you can go offline. Use Messenger's Get Msg btn to actually get the mail into Netscape. Set the Outgoing (SMTP) Server to 'localhost', the User Name to your login name on your own box again. If you want to send mail, always use the Send btn (not Send later). This will add the msg to the exim queue.

One improvement I would very much like to make over the setup I had before is this: it would be *very* convenient to store my email on a partition accessible to both Linux and Win98 (which I have to have for work - sigh) such that I can access it with a unified set of folders/address book etc from whichever O/S I happen to be in the time. This also requires a mail client which runs under both linux and Win98 (or at least a pair of clients with compatible file formats). At first sight Netscape Messenger would seem to fit the bill, but unfortunately it seems to use different filenames (for its mail folders) under the two O/S's. If the set of filenames were static I could possibly get around it with some symbolic link trickery on the linux side, but this would limit me to creating new mail folders only in Windows, and then manually fiddling to make that new folder work in linux. Yuck. (Also Netscape has the one POP server limitation which is a pain since I use two POP accounts). Mahogany looks promising, but I've heard it is still excessively buggy.

There is also someone (whose name escapes me) who has put it in a Debian package privately.

Re: kerneld message / Workaround
Quoting Erik van der Meulen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
After the reboot all seems well, except a message during boot:
kerneld: you almost certainly don't want to be running kerneld
with = 2.2.x
Thanks a lot for the various responses. I did a: mv kerneld kerneld.old
in /etc/init.d and now things are fine.
I checked the ownership of the file, this was: modutils
Now I assume that this had been installed as a dependency consequence of
the installation of some kernel packages which I installed prior to
compiling my 2.2.15 kernel. Not sure which or if I did something odd or
if it could be regarded as a bug?
The scripts /etc/init.d/{kerneld,modutils} have to be able to handle
both 2.0 and 2.2 kernels with kerneld or kmod. You will see they do
this by testing for the presence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe which
only exists under 2.2.
Perhaps you have a problem with your /proc filesystem (unless a bug
has been introduced into these scripts). There should be no need to
move/remove the scripts in /etc/init.d.
