kernel 2.2.3 y emulación ide-scsi

1999-04-28 Thread Alberto Valverde
Hola a todos,

He actualizado el nucleo de la versión 2.0.36 a la 2.2.3. Antes podía
usar la grabadora con el parámetro append = hdc=ide-scsi en el
/etc/lilo.conf y el nucleo compilado con la opción de 'scsi generic
support'.

Al arrancar con el 2.2.3, me dió el mensaje correspondiente a la
detección de la grabadora repetido muchas veces. He suprimido la línea
del lilo.conf y ahora el mensaje de inicio queda:

  ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
  ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
  hda: FUJITSU MPA3043ATU, 4172MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=531/255/63, (U)DMA
  hdb: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
  Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.52
* hdc: ATAPI 6X CD-ROM DVD-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 768kB Cache
  Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
  FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
* scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
* scsi : 1 host.
* scsi : detected total.

¿Quiere decir esto que está activada la emulación scsi?. En realidad,
xcdroast no reconoce el dispositivo, ni siquiera como ide.

-- Gracias a todos.


PS: Aprovecho para presentarme: tengo una hamm, la grabadora es una HP
7200+, y estoy bastante perdido aún con este maravilloso sistema
operativo.

   ^^^  

Make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules
install is the correct sequence.  If you would like to save yourself
some trouble get the source deb and make-kpkg wou do all of the above.


 When I get the NT Boot Manager to go to Linux, Everything works fine,

 yada yada yada... Then I get:

Howdy All...

My Linux box is running on an ext2 partition.

I use 'make install' , because it automatically makes the necessary changes for
me, plus the fact that the last time I tried 'make zImage', it wiped out my
Hard Drive when I installed it.

I just went back and looked at the setup in 'menuconfig'  I see absolutely
nothing about Ext2 under the FileSystems tab I do have enabled, Second
extended fs...

When you use zImage, what do you do after it makes the zImage?? Move the file
to the /boot directory?

Thanks, Brant.

Hi,

Seems to work ok here, runnning potata SMP with kernel 2.2.3 also running the
distributed-net client and top shows full utilisation, i was also using xosview 
but
that seems to be broken with my current setup :(

Interestingly some months back when i went SMP top showed 200% for a while :). 
After
some upgrades this changed, xosview showed both active ( when it worked ).

cheers

You are right, I think it works fine, it's just that the CPU utilization
(and maybe process priorities) are different than under my old 2.1.121
kernel.  Incidentally, I can't get xosview to work any more either, but
/proc/cpuinfo does show 2 processors and I can get the CPU utilization to
go up to 100% if I really try.  Anyway, I guess I was just confused.

 Interestingly some months back when i went SMP top showed 200% for a while 
 :). After
 some upgrades this changed, xosview showed both active ( when it worked ).

Yup, I had the same 200% problem for a while, but then I think they fixed
it in February.

This is done by 'depmod -a'. In my system (slink) I have modutils package
which installs file /etc/init.d/modutils with sequence:
[...]
echo -n Calculating module dependencies... 
depmod -a  /dev/null

I did that and received a bunch of strange messages for my effort. I
took a look at the Changes file that comes with the kernel sources. I a
have versions of some packages that are older than what the
documentation suggests. 

I should me receiving my 2.1 disks in the mail pretty soon, so I'll just
wait and try again then. I don't really have the time to get apt
installed and grab all the packages required for compiling the kernel
right now.

I'll probably have a few questions at that time, so thanks for the

You can just get the patches instead of the whole 2.2.3. Just get the 2.2.2
_and_ the 2.2.3 and them patch them in this order (read linux/README if you
have any doubts). Oh, make sure you do a 'make-kpkg clean' before you start.

I always get the source package for the kernel and compile them myself by hand,
aplying any patch I see fit :-) (I'm compiling 2.2.3 as I write this).
