Not (yet) a mac person here, but why don't you try Penguin-19 with your potato kernel? Or maybe even the kernel from the woody macinstall.tar.gz. Keep using the potato root.bin if you are so tight on memory. I read somewhere that Penguin-19 fixes some problems, I'd give it a shot. Christian -- http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/woody
problem getting RPC to work...
Hi all, After having trouble booting with the kernel-nfs (It would hang when launching the nfsd) I have now tried the non-kernel user nfs, and it's giving me an error message that I think points to what's wrong, but I don't know how to fix it. It's telling me that RPC: Connection Refused. Doing some man page perusing, and trying 'rpcinfo -p' I get: rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused. Is it clear that I'm trying to do this on the localhost? Looking in inetd.conf, I see a place where RPC calls should go, but there is nothing there. Did I miss something during install? How do I startup RPC so that when it gets to loading nfsd it'll work? Ideas? Thanks, George

Fix an ELF/m68k bug. important but probably not the solution for this problem. I will try bootstrapping an unpatched 3.2 release in my environment. Richard

Re: problem getting RPC to work...
Erik, I got it to load portmap, but only with a kludge, I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but in /etc/rcS.d directory, there is a file called S45mountnfs.sh, (it may not be S45 on your system) and in that file is where it will mount remote file systems if there are any in /etc/fstab. If there are remote file systems in /etc/fstab, then it'll start 'portmap' first, and then mount them. If there are not nfs entries in the /etc/fstab, then it doesn't do anything, and portmap never gets started. (At least, I couldn't find anything else that'd start portmap during the boot process). So, I just doctored that file so that 'PORTMAP=yes' is set near the beginning, instead of 'PORTMAP=no' and then even though it doesn't find any remote file systems to mount, it'll start portmap anyway. Of course, if you want to just mount some remote directory, set that up in your /etc/fstab and at your next reboot it'll be launching portmap for you anyway. Others on this list, please let me know if I'm seriously mucking anything up, it's just that portmap seems to be needed by nfsd, but wasn't being loaded anywhere but in the above file.

System hanging
Hello, I've got a Macintosh Quadra 660 AV that I'm attempting to get woody up and running on. The install was (finally) successful, but now after the system has been running for more than say 10 or 15 minutes, it just hangs. It doesn't seem to matter what it's doing, i.e. it may hang while I'm using man to peruse some doc, or it just hangs while idle. I have no idea how to diagnose this, as I cannot discern a cause. Does anyone have any advice, or have you run into this before? I have 68 Mb of ram, and a larger hard disk, but the root partition is < 2Gig. I have a 130Mb swap partition. Although it's on the machine, I have not started X-Windows before it locks up. Any help appreciated, Thanks, George

My 840AV was doing this, it turns out that these AV machines have quality problems (stupid Apple crap), and can become defect, the defect is a hard lock up, which will happen after a little while, and will happen in either Linux or MacOS. Regards, Ross..

Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi Ross, No, As I still use the Mac side a lot, it's actually been very reliable. I did however replace the disk drive. There wasn't anything wrong with the old one, I just wanted a larger drive with which to load things like Debian and NetBSD. So I got an IBM 4.2 Gig drive, and partitioned about 250 Meg for MacOS and four other partitions for Linux Root&user, Linux swap, NetBSD Root&user, and NetBSD swap. I've installed NetBSD, and it hasn't shown any tendency to lock up, but I've been trying to work with Debian, but keep running into the machine locking up. I can't figure out what might be causing this. Thanks though, George
