Re: kerneld message / Workaround
David Wright wrote:
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.
Well if there is such a bug it's been there since potato day1 and still
is. Incidentally, does the presence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe not
depend on what you compile in the kernel??? I always roll my own and
any time I've installed potato with a 2.2 kernel I've had to shift
kerneld. Maybe if you stick with Debians own kernels it might be there
but not everyone does.
And what about 2.4test kernels (that I'm running) ? I don't have a
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe - what should I do? How do the magic
scripts in /etc/init.d deal with that

Re: lilo
It's just how lilo works.
There is a hint in the manpage as to a case you may want to be in a
different directory other than your / directory (the -r switch, which
does a chroot to the dir you specify). The example given where this may
be useful is if you are repairing a setup from a boot floppy.
It seems to me that everytime I upgraded or installed a new
version of the lilo, the configuration would also failed unless
the currect directory is at root ('/').
Any idea why and/or fixes? TIA!
Ours is not to reason why, just to get on with it!!!

You can also try the card in another PCI slot. This isn't the case Phil. PnP OS setting only affects ISA PnP cards, so this problem has nothing to do with that. How it operates - if set to 'no', bios attempts to configure ISA PnP cards (because it assumes your OS can't). Bioses in general aren't very good at this, esp. with something like an Awe32 / 64 - a fairly common piece of hardware. If it's set to 'yes', bios thinks your OS is capable of handling ISA pnp cards, therefore it does nothing. As far as Linux goes, Debian like most dists uses isapnptools to configure ISA PnP cards for you which e.g. has a well documented solution for Awe problem, it is essentially a PnP OS as far as the PnP OS Installed? line in bioses goes. I know it isn't strictly PnP (yet) but bios only cares about configuration of ISA PnP cards. So for Linux w/ isapnptools correctly set up, PnP OS Installed should most definitely be Yes. When I set it to No, my Awe64 stops being seen by Linux, the bios can't configure it correctly and isapnptools won't work - so the card doesn't either. Jonathan

It is coming with the 2.3.x dev kernel but most of the drivers have still to be rewritten to take advantage of the new feature (or so I read somewhere) Is your PnP modem an internal or external one? If it's external, isapnp will make no difference. If it's internal, it may be that your PC's bios is configuring it for you (this might happen if you have a setting in the bios PnP OS Installed set to No). This might also be the cause of your soundcard problems. The Bios can only go so far with configuring isapnp devices - it can handle something simple like a modem (just an irq and base i/o), but throw something e.g. an Awe64 at it and it will fail. This failed attempt to configure the card in Bios can render it uncofigurable by isapnptools. Suggest you set PnP OS Installed to Yes if this is your problem, meaning that the bios will NOT attempt to configure isapnp cards, leaving it to your OS (in Linux' case, to isapnptools) to sort things out. The isapnptools FAQ says this, but not explicitly, in fact it's very vague about the matter, however at one point it does say that you should NOT have your bios attempt to configure the card. The way to do this is to set PnP OS Option to yes. When you do this, and replace your isapnp.conf file, do you get any error messages during boot? You should also upgrade your modconf / modutils files and try to fix them properly. The only way to get your soundcard to work is to get isapnptools working again. Jonathan.

As root, run modconf and find the lp and ppa modules, then remove them both. You'll find lp in misc section and ppa in scsi. Remove both modules (ppa one probably isn't installed though), then re-install them but be sure to do ppa first, then lp. modconf controls the order of modules loading from the file /etc/modules - which you can edit by hand, incidentally, as well as by using modconf. Just re-order the modules. Another thing - it might depend on your vintage of zip drive - if it's a newer drive, you might need to use the imm module instead of ppa. Mine is old, so I need ppa. Again, make sure to load imm first from modconf. Hope this gets you up and running . Jonathan
