Correct. As far as that is concerned the ATM layer is utter crap.

* EDE - 0.0.5
From: Neil Holmes @ 2002-12-18 11:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Linux 8086

The Elks Distribution Edition (EDE) 0.0.5 is now ready. Though its not
uploaded yet. Its been so long since I used my ftp space that, I believe, my
password has expired !!! I have requested a new password but, in the
meantime, if anyone particularly would like a copy now then email me and I
will make interim arrangements.

Apologies for the very long delay in release. Its been difficult to spend
time working on it recently for a variety of reasons.

EDE-0.0.5 installs kernel 0.1.1. It also installs from a single floppy disk
once more. Thanks to Harry for his assistance with "rdev" in making this
possible. 0.0.5 will cater for ELKS installation on a primary hard drive
(bda1 through bda4) and can cope with dual-booting using Pascal Bellards
Bootkit. The operating systems that are recognised for co-existance, at this
stage, are DOS and Linux. I have tested for partitions containing all 3 on
one 486 laptop. My test 286 machine dual-boots ELKS and Windows 3.1 (DOS).

I have, for 0.0.5, also upgraded the version of elkscmd programs. I have
taken what was the latest download on sourceforge, namely elkscmd_20020501,
at the time I was building the release.

I have some concerns, still, for the filesystem experts. The install floppy
still boots an older kernel (0.0.82) even though it, ultimately, installs
0.1.1 to the hard drive. This is because I find that kernel more reliable
when it comes to setting up the ELKS partition. I would be very greatful of
some assistance in this area as I am still recommending the hard drive be
initialised using a DOS fdisk for the most reliable results. Apart from
anything else this means that I have to carry two kernels on the install
floppy disk taking up valuable space. Suggestions are greatfully received !

So thats 0.0.5. What next ? I am very open for suggestions as to what I
should be including next. Please email suggestions. Here are some ideas :-

- Install to a secondary hard drive (/dev/bdb1 though /dev/bdb4 - shouldn't
be too difficult)
- Introduce an option to implement elksnet
- Look for cosmetic improvements in the installation

As you can see. I am starting to fish for ideas.

Thanks to all the people who have taken the time to write to me and express
their gratitude for EDE. It makes it all worth while. Maybe it really has
helped convert a few more people to the cause ?

Anyway.

Have fun !

Neil

I have the DB-64360 (Development board based on MV64360 part) working
fine with the support for the development board and the gigE ethernet.
I mainly have tested this with 7455 CPUs. I also tested it with dual 7455

What mount options are you using? Is it a 'tcp' mount?

Are other clients able to access the server without the above problem?

Guess you two need to head over to promise and get those blood letting
NDA's signed.  To figure out what is wrong with your deployment.
I have never seen this issue and I know every combination of command calls
to avoid.  What you are doing is not out of spec, just how you are are
doing it is.

Hi Ryan,

Regarding your patch:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2002-November/03=
1910.html

I would like to ask you some additional: is it also applicable for serial=
-mux
pci card (as Prod J3592A) or scsi-mux (as the 8 port of Central Data)?

Thanks in advance,
    Joel

PS: Do you think it could be easily backport in 2.4 (if not yet done)?

You might already have heard of fdisk. It is a tool to partition your hard
disks and also in fact the easiest way to see what partition is of what
type and has what number/name.
To call fdisk for your primary IDE slave call "fdisk /dev/hda" and you
will get something like this:

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1      9688   4882720+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2   *      9689     48440  19531008    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3         48441    158816  55629504   83  Linux

(For example for your second SCSI disk it would be "fdisk /dev/sdb")

Here you can see that my windows partition is /dev/hda2 is of type NTFS.
To mount it you'll need an empty directory (e.g. /windows or /mnt/win) and
the necessary file system support for you kernel (in my case NTFS).

Then "mount <device>  <mount directory>". In my case this looks like:
     "mount /dev/hda2 /windows"


Have fun,
Axel

hmm, then it's difficult to assume the order...
in most cases, hotplug is started at the fairly early stage of boot
sequences, because it supports also the fundamental devices such like
network.

agreed.  a scenario i can imagine now is that the script just takes a
look at /proc/asound/cards and checks the numbers at the first column.
this should correspond to the card indices which have been already
loaded.  then the script will try to load the modules snd-card-X but
skip the numbers listed in the above...
i'll try to rewrite as this way.

* [LARTC] TBF shaped machine unreachble ?
From: Paolo Poletti @ 2002-12-18 10:41 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: lartc

I've added to my RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3) machine on a 2Mbit line the 
following command :

/sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 256kbit latency 50ms burst 10000

After this has been added, periodically i'm not able to reach my machine from 
the network. Is there any known bug ? Can i produce some kind of logging ?

Thanks !

Ahem.

You /may/ want to remind me, next time, that umounting all filesystems 
except root, remounting root read-only, AND raid-stop'ing all arrays 
would be a good idea before doing this ( I forgot the last one )

Also, it seems that all drives de-allocate a sector every time I do this, 
and this is costing my system integrity...


Yes, it happens on all drives on the controller, and I've 2:
IBM 60GXP, 40GB == /dev/hde
Quantum LM15, 15GB == /dev/hdg

booting into multiuser command-line mode, no X, login as root, umount 
everything, "smartctl -a /dev/hde" ( or hdg ) gets 2 information lines, 
the second being the model# of the drive, and it never reaches the third 
line ( the newline doesn't appear ), and the drive-light comes on, and 
it's permanently hanged.

I'd thought this would be implicit in the 
* "cat /proc/ide/hde/identify" gets the same results *
comment I'd made previously, but did it out of curiosity...


When I did it on the Quantum, the Quantum's drive-light came on ( it's in 
a "mobile-rack" ), so it seems that the drive-light actually is still 
connected to the drive at that point, though nothing useful goes on 
after...


By the way, I seem to have hit this with the earlier 2.4.x kernels, ( 
IIRC ), but had /so/ much problems with flaky config and flaky distros 
at the time, that I didn't get that info out then ( by the time I got a 
stable system, I'd forgot, sorry... )

and I'll do it, so you can scope where-the-break-is better, TIA *

In-Reply-To: <F100yCBCpIP6EeaLQBs00012c26@hotmail.com>


Enrico,

I don't know about ELDK - we're using SELF - but I suspect that it uses
busybox.  If so, then just build "login" as part of busybox (to do this
you must edit the busybox/Config.in file,) then add the following line
to your /etc/inittab:

ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/login

This is what we have done and we don't have any PAM libraries on our
system at all.

Alex

PS We're using a plain /etc/password file without shadowing

pdev_enable_device() has nothing to do with pcmcia anyway. :-)

* problems with NFSv3 kernel 2.5.52 server, 2.4.20 client. (server x86 linux, clientsparclinux)
From: venom @ 2002-12-18  9:46 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-kernel


HI,

I am having some problem with NFS v3 with kernel 2.5.52 for the NFS server and
2.4.20 as NFS client..

I was doing some extended test with an x86 server (Pentium3 933 Mhz,
with 512 MB RAM,
i810 chipset), and a client sparclinux (Sparc64 II,on an Ultra 2 single CPU,
1GB RAM).

The first test I was doing was compilation of gcc, the kernel and so on on NFS
with an async export.

(Then the day after I would have started some real stress test)

Anyway the compilation seemed to go well, and I left to go home when gcc was
compiling stage 2.

When I come back this morning NFS was still mounted, bu I could not
access any NFS mounted partyition on the sparc because of I/O error (not df
was showing the the real disk occupation on those NFS partitions, just 0).

On the server I could not find any error message, while on the sparclink client
I found:

Dec 17 18:08:16 storm kernel: call_verify: server accept status: 1
Dec 17 18:08:16 storm last message repeated 2 times
Dec 17 18:08:16 storm kernel: RPC: garbage, exit EIO

and so on.

* [PATCH] /proc/modules format change
From: Rusty Russell @ 2002-12-18  9:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: torvalds; +Cc: linux-kernel

New extensible format uses comma-separated dependencies or "-":

ipaq 6360 0 -
usbserial 22621 1 ipaq,
usbcore 53148 2 ipaq,usbserial,

Name: /proc/modules rework
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Tested on 2.5.52

D: This changes the dependency list in /proc/modules to be one field,
D: rather than a space-separated set of dependencies, and makes sure
D: the contents are there even if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is off.
D:
D: This allows us to append fields (eg. the module address for
D: oprofile, and the module status) without breaking userspace.
D: module-init-tools already handles this format (which you can detect
D: by the presence of "-" or "," in the fourth field).

You have to set X to handle it as ExplorerPS/2.

In fact, I agree with Andrew.  But Pavel insist and want it,
and since it is really straightforward to have it in 2.5
because Pavel have already done all the work, why not giving
him a little gift for Christmas ?

A final word:  S4bios is way much _slower_ by nature than S4OS, especially
at suspend path, which is what we don't want if we have to go to S4 due
to an emergency.

Kai, if you see that S4OS is slower, it is probably a bug that have to be
fixed in swsusp.

It is suppsed to be accurate. That is why there are timestamps.
OTOH I should mark some entries <no longer true>, also with timestamp.

Thank you for your hint. I'll try to disassemble the DSDT table and understand 
it, but it will take a long time as I don't have much spare time for it... 
hope in the meanwhile I'm not going to cook my compaq... or some other good 
guy will give me a hand...

Fan is working (running mplayer or recompiling the kernel will make it work). 
Don't know how well though ...
Throttling works (manual changing the throttling state will do, don't know if 
it will change automatically).
My processor is an AMD Athlon 4 1500+

no, but buttons are not working. I didn't want to recompile only because I've 
forgotten to apply the acpid.patch that's why I asked if it was important ...
