I got it installed over the first reboot, but after a the next one on every reboot it crashed with Kernel faults at cron. Now I have reinstalled and I do not get over the reboot. Is it explained somewhere, which I need to write down, to help you debug the problem? (I guess it doesn't make it into any logs, which I could look at by putting the disk on another machine.)

I expect to get my hands on a 712 very soon, so I'll see if I can reproduce this problem. So far as what you can write down for me... Usually a kernel crash gives a stack dump followed by the fault type and address, then a bunch of registers. I'm not too interested in the stack dump (which has probably scrolled off the screen, anyway), but everything after the stack dump would be useful. You could interact with the IPL and add 'init=/bin/sh' to the parameters. It might at least boot to a shell prompt then. It is unlikely to be cron itself that causes the problem, but just in case you could disable it by renaming /usr/sbin/cron. Something like boot to a shell e2fsck /dev/sda<whatever your root device is> mount -o remount,rw / mv /usr/sbin/cron /usr/sbin/cron.ori sync mount -o remount,ro / hit the reset button and try a normal boot again Thanks, Richard ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Perhaps this is useful. The 'o' chars are actually tabs, which are supposed to make the register dump line up. IAOQ is the most important. You can look up the value in the sti/sys_map file on the CD: ... 10236204 T bcopy 10236228 T memcpy 1023624c T memmove ... so it crashed in memcpy. r2 is often the return address, so back to sys_map: ... 10193a98 T vc_allocate 10193bc8 T vc_resize 10193ed8 t .L1003 10193f40 t .L1043 10193fcc T vc_disallocate ... looks like memcpy was called from vc_resize(). r236,r25,r24,r23 are the call params, if they havn't been overwritten. memcpy() disassembles as 00000000 <memcpy>: 0: 37 18 3f ff ldo -1(r24),r24 4: 87 1f 20 20 cmpib,= -1,r24,1c <memcpy+0x1c> 8: 08 1a 02 54 copy r26,r20 c: 0f 22 10 33 ldb,ma 1(sr0,r25),r19 10: 37 18 3f ff ldo -1(r24),r24 14: 8f 1f 3f e5 cmpib,<> -1,r24,c <memcpy+0xc> 18: 0e 93 12 22 stb,ma r19,1(sr0,r20) 1c: e8 40 c0 00 bv r0(rp) 20: 08 1a 02 5c copy r26,ret0 r26 = r20, so it failed on the first byte of the move, so call was memcpy(0x146fc000,0x1dc0ce18,0x100); with 0x1dc0ce18 being an invalid address. I guess that comes from this loop in drivers/char/screen.c: while (ol < scr_end) { scr_memcpyw((unsigned short *) nl, (unsigned short *) ol, rlth); if (rrem) scr_memsetw((void *)(nl + rlth), video_erase_char, rrem); ol += osr; nl += sr; } At this point I'll stop and hope Helge can comment... > In the meantime I noticed that about every 6th time it boots up > without crashing, but the keyboard setting from the installation > (German) was obviously not saved. Correct, keyboard config is broken in the release sti image. If you manage to boot you could try mv /bin/loadkeys /bin/loadkeys.old mv /bin/dumpkeys /bin/dumpkeys.old mv /etc/console-tools /etc/console-tools.old apt-get install console-data console-common console-tools console-tools-libs If that works, let me know and I'll add it to the errata.

No, I have set it to approximately the right time, when I installed, and it is only off by a few minutes. Didn't find a netdate or ntpdate on the CD to do it better, and with all the boot problems I didn't have time to compile it myself... Peter. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

I have deb http://beast:80/rel0.9/debian sid main deb http://beast:80/rel0.9/more-packages/debian sid main in my sources.list, but that is because I installed from http. I don't have an entry for CDROM source atm, sorry. If you updated apt (dpkg -l apt) to 0.5.3, you may have to update its pkg list with "apt-get update". Perhaps someone with a CD based install could post their sources.list as an example? > "which stat" shows nothing. I don't see a stat package either. > This is my first experience with Debian. "stat" is probably referring to the system call stat() having failed. Basically it is saying that some file it wants to access doesn't exist.
