Not the pcmcia source.  The kernel source is building the bad links,
and there has not been a new release of this package since this problem
was discovered.  Therefore, there has not been an opportunity to fix the
problem with the kernel packages.



I have tried using the --force-overwrite option when installating
the pcmcia-modules package and it still does not work.  I am able to
get past the problem with the pcmcia-core problem.  But the specific
drivers I am using (orinoco, orinoco_cs) are still failing to modprobe
successfully.



The temporary fix (until version 3.1.36-7 can be installed) is
to copy the etc/config file from the pcmcia-cs source (i.e.,
/usr/src/modules/pcmcia/etc/config in the pcmcia-source package) to
/etc/pcmcia/config.  That should fix your problem for now.

Your current config (assuming that you are running version 3.1.36-6
of pcmcia-cs) is set up to use the kernel drivers, not the standalone
drivers.  (This has been changed in 3.1.36-7.)  Since you are building
the pcmcia modules from the pcmcia-cs source, you want to use the
standalone drivers.

It works.

What I was seeing is that I would get a successful load and the

The only thing that looks suspicious at boot time is:

However, 'cardinfo' always finds my pcmcia card (an ancient IBM dual

doesn't work.  '/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart' always complains about
non-existent i82365 module and fails to unload pcmcia_core.  Then it
gives me the error:

but what can I do to force it to use IRQ9?

I was not using the debian supplied images, I build my own for various

The way I understood it, broadly speaking you'd want the kernel drivers to
handle the modern 32-bit cardbus cards, but you'd be better off using the
standalone drivers for the older 16-bit pcmcia cards.

Is this valid, or an over-simplification?

Debian Linux on Toshiba Libretto 70CT

2002-02-18 Thread n i k o l a u s




I would like to run a dual boot of Windows 95 and

hdd.
 
Has anyone installed Debian on this model notebook? 
>From my previous Redhat 6.0 Linux installations on this notebook I have found 
there is no floppy support, it does not support the Toshiba PCMCIA floppy drive. 
Is there support with Debian?
 
I would like to buy the latest version of Debian

It depends.  If you are using the 2.4 kernel drivers (i.e., you have
turned on the CONFIG_PCMCIA option) then you would not experience these
problems.  The problems with 3.1.31-6 occur only with those trying to
use the new pcmcia-cs package with old versions of the pcmcia-modules-*
packages or are trying to use the standalone modules without packaging
them in a Debian package first.

It is tagged with an urgency of "high", but that still means that it
will take several days to migrate into woody.  The package needs to be
built for the other architectures, not just for i386, before it is a
candidate for the testing distribution.

The package is available now in the unstable distribution.

Who's messing up my resolv.conf (woody)

2002-02-18 Thread Petr Hlustik
Hello folks,

I am sorry to see so many broken pieces regarding woody, 2.4 kernels &
PCMCIA. I'm lucky since I've had my CardBus card working w/o interruption
after woody upgrade (with 2.4.17 and kernel modules) but I have another
trouble.

I run the hotplug + ifupdown + guessnet combo to reconfigure my PCMCIA eth0
based on network: office = fixed IP, library = DHCP. It works fine
switching back and forth except for the resolv.conf. After I use the DHCP,
it gets changed, e.g., the first line becomes

domain lib.uchicago.edu\000

which is correct for the subnet but the \000 breaks it. The nameservers
that follow are configured correctly. When I go back to my office eth0, the
resolv.conf never gets changed, that is, it remains broken. So far, I keep
a copy of my original resolve.conf and copy it manyally over the broken one
but I wonder which component is changing the resolv.conf (did not see this
mentioned in any man page).

Thanks,
Petr

P.S. BTW, I also installed whereami but it did not configure properly, it
breaks each time in the middle of detecting and configuring the eth0.

I've installed Debian on two Librettos.  I'm not sure they were 70's but they
both had the same characteristic things to deal with so I'll mention them.

1. since you can't have the floppy and the cdrom in the pcmcia at the same 
   time and it doesn't like to boot off a pcmcia cd-rom*, I removed the drive
   and mounted it at another laptop to fill 'er up.

   * YMMV.  That particular friend has strange luck getting things to boot
   from anything but a hard disk.

2. we still needed a boot floppy because LILO wasn't happy until /sbin/lilo
   was run whilst installed correctly in the Libretto.

In your case you have it lucky, because you can simply copy LOADLIN.EXE into
your MSwin partition with a kernel, and boot that way - so you don't need to
install LILO *at all*.

Generic to dual booters: you need to resize C: so you have the rest of the
space.  Rarely is MSwin happy with less than 1.5 GB, 2 GB is safer, if you
plan to use productivity stuff which is a disk pig.  And why else would you
stay in MSwin, anyway?

I recommend creating a small D: (vfat partition first among the extend area)
that MSwin and Linux can share, then under Linux you can mount it as /boot 
and kernels will always arrive at the right place to be loadlin'd.

If you want a commercial distro of Debian you can buy a copy of Libranet.  
It does a bulk-install of a lot of nice things; sets you for reboot without
the CD mounted; then presents a menu for you to pick a few more kits if you
want, e.g. KDE env, GNOME env, Apache stuff, etc.  which it also bulk installs
(like tasks).  The kernel you get is a little out of date, common for all
commercial variants, but since apt is normal after that you can pull down 
kernel-image-n.n.nn of choice and you have a standard Potato kit. 

Good thing you have a 6 GB hard disk.  I wouldn't think of dual booting a 
modern copy of MSwin with a smaller than a 4 GB.  But one friend wanted me
to get it into 256 MB (a flashram disk drive) so his libretto would last 
during international flights.

Otherwise there are a lot of sources for official disks but make sure they 
say they're Potato ... you don't want "slink" as that's ancient!

The smallest Potato install I have made, which had room for the compiler tool
chain, barely enough roon for sources to actually build in too, and no X, was
about 150 MB. (120 MB really;  meant for sneaking into the swap partition of
some other flavor you're replacing - but it has only 5-10 MB left that way,
just enough for /tmp not to cause tantrums)  If you're doing your compiling 
elsewhere it can definitely be much smaller.

I have seen this before. In my case, the \000 was courtesy of Windows
2000 DNS/DHCP server. Something to do with Active Directory, I think.
It's being added because your dhcp client is requesting a
domain-search-path, and Win2k's DHCP server is providing it. (corrupted
as it is.)

When you connect to your other network, the DHCP server is not providing
another search path.

If you're using dhclient, modify /etc/dhclient.conf to override
('supersede') the domain-search-path with what you want.

If you're using pump, add 'nodns' to /etc/pump.conf to stop pump from
updating /etc/resolv.conf

If you're using something else, check the man pages.

2002-02-18 Thread Bradley Alexander
Hi all,

IRT my last question regarding the NIC on a Toshiba Tecra 8100, that the
Xircom card is apparently broken. I took the card from my T8000 and
plugged it in, and it worked. Thanks to all that helped.

I have a Mac Powerbook G3 (Pismo) that dual boots MacOS9 (to watch DVDs)
and sid. I have taken it to work a few times, and find that I cannot get
a DHCP address. For some reason (the reason being that Windoze' DHCP
implementation is BROKEN), pump is not able to get an IP address. I
looked for a dhcp client, however, dhcp-client was looking for a 2.2.x
kernel (I'm running 2.4.18pre7 from the benh collection), pump, as I
said, won't get an address. Suggestions on how to get the machine on the
work network? It works fine on my home network running ISC's DHCP
server.

Thanks,

I have seen pump do this as well, when the DHCP server is an NT box.  I
just disabled updating to the resolv.conf in the pump configuration

The technical specs are not terribly detailed. For the 3000-X4 they
don't even say what the graphics chip is.

On a slightly different line, since I posted my questions about
Toshiba laptops I've realized that the Sony Vaio FX501 seems to be a
very interesting possibility as far as my budget is concerned. It
comes with a 20 Gb disk and 256 Memory. Has anyone here had any experience
with this particular model under Debian? The specs say it comes with
an ATI Mobility M1 graphics chip. Any idea how this compares with the
Trident Cyber Aladdin-T in the Toshiba 1800? What about reliability
and support? Any thoughts on this are welcome.

It depends.  If you are using the 2.4 kernel drivers (i.e., you have

I upgrade pcmcia-cs to pull in the newer applications (cardctl

In the past 2.4.xx kernels I have been using the kernel supplied

have experienced was limited to the fact that I also upgraded my 
pcmcia-cs binaries.  And, if I were to make a new kernel based on

 ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO,

 I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of late Gen. Sani Abacha.
 Former Nigeria military head of state who died mysteriouly as a
 result of cardiac arrest. Since after my husband`s death. my
 family has been going through immense harassment including
 undue police restriction and molestation .
 The family account with the bank here and abroad have been
 frozen by the government for reasons that are rather
 vindicative. Our plight ever made worse by the confiscation/
 seizure of our family landed properties and investment in
 Nigeria.

 One of the witch-hunting search light of the government beamed
 on our account a Swiss bank which had a sum of US$ 700 Million
 in it and another US$ 450Million. Threats of freezing and clamp
 on the account have been too much.
 It is for this reason that I have decided to move the sum of
 US$ 60 Million in defaced form packed carefully in sealed metal
 boxes for reason of security.I  humbly  appeal to you on behalf
 of the entire family members to save us from starvation,
 poverty and strangulation by assisting us move the money into
 your country where it shall be safe, since I cannot leave
 Nigeria now due to the movement restriction place on us.
 You can reach us through our fax number above. Our Lawyer shall
 arrange a face to face meeting outside Nigeria for effective
 and logical movement of the money. You can equally get in touch

modem on VAIO FX401

2002-02-18 Thread Ionel Mugurel Ciobica
Hi all,

My Vaio Fx401 has a build in winmodem. lspci says:
00:07.6 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Modem Controller

 From windows xp I get:
Conexant-Ambent Soft K56 Data, Fax Modem
PCI bus 0, device 7, function 6, speed 115200, port COM3

In order to see if I have any chance to get the modem to work.

Thank you for your help.

QUESTION:  If I were to use the kernel from ftp.kernel.org and then 
run a make-kpkg, would I see this same problem?

Also, I didn't see 3.1.36-7 in testing, yet.  So I have gone ahead and 
tried your suggestion of copying the config file over.

It works.

What I was seeing is that I would get a successful load and the 
characteristic two Beeps.  But then my log will fill up with Tx Errors 
as I tried to ping my gateway.

Thank you very much!

Read back on some of the recent (<7 days) problems people have had 
involving pcmcia and 2.4.17.  I have been there myself until recently.
I was not using the debian supplied images, I build my own for various 
reasons (ext3 being one) and can only help you from that perspective.

What I have seen so far is this:
I can install a kernel-image OK.
When I try to install a modules-pcmcia package I get hit with various 
errors:
1) pcmcia_core.o cannot be overwritten as it already exists.
1a) use --force-overwrite when installing the modules-pcmcia pacage. 
You should see warning notices about the overwriting of all of the 
aforementioned modules.

2) I could not get a pcmcia network card to work correctly.
2a) I had to manually copy /usr/src/modules/pcmcia/etc/config into 
/etc/pcmcia/config (make backup!) and restart pcmcia.  (This was 
posted yesterday from a Brian Mays).

Good Luck!

The way I understood it, broadly speaking you'd want the kernel drivers to
handle the modern 32-bit cardbus cards, but you'd be better off using the
standalone drivers for the older 16-bit pcmcia cards.

Is this valid, or an over-simplification?

Debian Linux on Toshiba Libretto 70CT

2002-02-18 Thread n i k o l a u s




I would like to run a dual boot of Windows 95 and 
Debian Linux on my Toshiba Libretto 70CT sub-notebook. I have chosen to dual 
boot so I can still use Windows while I learn Debian Linux.
 
The specifications of my Toshiba Libretto 70CT 
are as follows:
 
Intel 
Pentium 120MHz MMX (0.35u, 32KB 2.2/3.3V) CPU Clock Multiplier 2, 
32MB EDO, ROM 256, BUS SPEED 
60, CT-65550 1mb graphics, Screensize 6.1" TFT, Yamaha 
OPL3 SA2 Soundblaster Compatible, Single PCMCIA Port (16bit slot 2), 6gb 
hdd.
 
Has anyone installed Debian on this model notebook? 
>From my previous Redhat 6.0 Linux installations on this notebook I have found 
there is no floppy support, it does not support the Toshiba PCMCIA floppy drive. 
Is there support with Debian?
 
I would like to buy the latest version of Debian 
however I am not sure if it would install and if it did how well it would 
perform on a low spec notebook computer such as the Libretto 70CT. Which version 
will work the best?
 
I would be grateful for installation instructions 
or tips from other Libretto 70CT users who have installed Debian on their 
Libretto.
 
Thank you

It depends.  If you are using the 2.4 kernel drivers (i.e., you have
turned on the CONFIG_PCMCIA option) then you would not experience these
problems.  The problems with 3.1.31-6 occur only with those trying to
use the new pcmcia-cs package with old versions of the pcmcia-modules-*
packages or are trying to use the standalone modules without packaging
them in a Debian package first.

It is tagged with an urgency of "high", but that still means that it
will take several days to migrate into woody.  The package needs to be
built for the other architectures, not just for i386, before it is a
candidate for the testing distribution.

The package is available now in the unstable distribution.

Isn't A08 a bit old?  My i2500 is A10, and I thought the 8100s were 
using the same numbers (though the BIOS appears to be different).  I'd 
check for a BIOS upgrade first.  As for bios/apm being buggy - apm 
definitely doesn't work on the 2500.  Try ACPI.

Arrghh!  This happens every time I bring my laptop home.  I've been 
fighting this for two weeks or more, and when I picked up my mail 
yesterday, none of those messages came down.  When I check today, 
there's my post and all those others about pcmcia & 2.4.17!

Unlike you, I've never had any sucess with pcmcia anyway, so I use the 
kernel drivers.  More annoying than anything else, today PCMCIA is 
working and I'm still getting the IRQ conflict errors. I did recompile 
the kernel again with a config more closely based on the working 2.4.16 
kernel, but I'll be dd if I know what made the difference.

Who's messing up my resolv.conf (woody)

2002-02-18 Thread Petr Hlustik

Hello folks,

I am sorry to see so many broken pieces regarding woody, 2.4 kernels &
PCMCIA. I'm lucky since I've had my CardBus card working w/o interruption
after woody upgrade (with 2.4.17 and kernel modules) but I have another
trouble.

I run the hotplug + ifupdown + guessnet combo to reconfigure my PCMCIA eth0
based on network: office = fixed IP, library = DHCP. It works fine
switching back and forth except for the resolv.conf. After I use the DHCP,
it gets changed, e.g., the first line becomes

domain lib.uchicago.edu\000

which is correct for the subnet but the \000 breaks it. The nameservers
that follow are configured correctly. When I go back to my office eth0, the
resolv.conf never gets changed, that is, it remains broken. So far, I keep
a copy of my original resolve.conf and copy it manyally over the broken one
but I wonder which component is changing the resolv.conf (did not see this
mentioned in any man page).

Thanks,
Petr

P.S. BTW, I also installed whereami but it did not configure properly, it
breaks each time in the middle of detecting and configuring the eth0.

I've installed Debian on two Librettos.  I'm not sure they were 70's but they
both had the same characteristic things to deal with so I'll mention them.

1. since you can't have the floppy and the cdrom in the pcmcia at the same 
   time and it doesn't like to boot off a pcmcia cd-rom*, I removed the drive
   and mounted it at another laptop to fill 'er up.

   * YMMV.  That particular friend has strange luck getting things to boot
   from anything but a hard disk.

2. we still needed a boot floppy because LILO wasn't happy until /sbin/lilo
   was run whilst installed correctly in the Libretto.

In your case you have it lucky, because you can simply copy LOADLIN.EXE into
your MSwin partition with a kernel, and boot that way - so you don't need to
install LILO *at all*.

Generic to dual booters: you need to resize C: so you have the rest of the
space.  Rarely is MSwin happy with less than 1.5 GB, 2 GB is safer, if you
plan to use productivity stuff which is a disk pig.  And why else would you
stay in MSwin, anyway?

I recommend creating a small D: (vfat partition first among the extend area)
that MSwin and Linux can share, then under Linux you can mount it as /boot 
and kernels will always arrive at the right place to be loadlin'd.

> I would like to buy the latest version of Debian however I am not sure if it would 
>install and if it did how well it would perform on a low spec notebook computer such 
>as the Libretto 70CT. Which version will work the best?
 
If you want a commercial distro of Debian you can buy a copy of Libranet.  
It does a bulk-install of a lot of nice things; sets you for reboot without
the CD mounted; then presents a menu for you to pick a few more kits if you
want, e.g. KDE env, GNOME env, Apache stuff, etc.  which it also bulk installs
(like tasks).  The kernel you get is a little out of date, common for all
commercial variants, but since apt is normal after that you can pull down 
kernel-image-n.n.nn of choice and you have a standard Potato kit. 

Good thing you have a 6 GB hard disk.  I wouldn't think of dual booting a 
modern copy of MSwin with a smaller than a 4 GB.  But one friend wanted me
to get it into 256 MB (a flashram disk drive) so his libretto would last 
during international flights.

Otherwise there are a lot of sources for official disks but make sure they 
say they're Potato ... you don't want "slink" as that's ancient!

The smallest Potato install I have made, which had room for the compiler tool
chain, barely enough roon for sources to actually build in too, and no X, was
about 150 MB. (120 MB really;  meant for sneaking into the swap partition of
some other flavor you're replacing - but it has only 5-10 MB left that way,
just enough for /tmp not to cause tantrums)  If you're doing your compiling 
elsewhere it can definitely be much smaller.

I have seen this before. In my case, the \000 was courtesy of Windows
2000 DNS/DHCP server. Something to do with Active Directory, I think.
It's being added because your dhcp client is requesting a
domain-search-path, and Win2k's DHCP server is providing it. (corrupted
as it is.)

When you connect to your other network, the DHCP server is not providing
another search path.

If you're using dhclient, modify /etc/dhclient.conf to override
('supersede') the domain-search-path with what you want.

If you're using pump, add 'nodns' to /etc/pump.conf to stop pump from
updating /etc/resolv.conf

If you're using something else, check the man pages.

sid and Windows DHCP

2002-02-18 Thread Bradley Alexander

Hi all,

IRT my last question regarding the NIC on a Toshiba Tecra 8100, that the
Xircom card is apparently broken. I took the card from my T8000 and
plugged it in, and it worked. Thanks to all that helped.

I have a Mac Powerbook G3 (Pismo) that dual boots MacOS9 (to watch DVDs)
and sid. I have taken it to work a few times, and find that I cannot get
a DHCP address. For some reason (the reason being that Windoze' DHCP
implementation is BROKEN), pump is not able to get an IP address. I
looked for a dhcp client, however, dhcp-client was looking for a 2.2.x
kernel (I'm running 2.4.18pre7 from the benh collection), pump, as I
said, won't get an address. Suggestions on how to get the machine on the
work network? It works fine on my home network running ISC's DHCP
server.

Thanks,

I have seen pump do this as well, when the DHCP server is an NT box.  I
just disabled updating to the resolv.conf in the pump configuration
file, and worked around it with whereami.

Send me your detect.conf and tell me what you were trying to do.

The technical specs are not terribly detailed. For the 3000-X4 they
don't even say what the graphics chip is.

On a slightly different line, since I posted my questions about
Toshiba laptops I've realized that the Sony Vaio FX501 seems to be a
very interesting possibility as far as my budget is concerned. It
comes with a 20 Gb disk and 256 Memory. Has anyone here had any experience
with this particular model under Debian? The specs say it comes with
an ATI Mobility M1 graphics chip. Any idea how this compares with the
Trident Cyber Aladdin-T in the Toshiba 1800? What about reliability
and support? Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Cheers, 

Luis

Considering all the things about MS that _are_ broken it seems a little 
unfair to blame them for this.  pump (from woody, w/ kernel 
2.4.16/2.4.17) works fine on my client's Win NT network.

I upgrade pcmcia-cs to pull in the newer applications (cardctl 
v3.1.31) and in that process ended up with this problem.

In the past 2.4.xx kernels I have been using the kernel supplied 
drivers for my network cards.  Is it safe to assume that the problem I 
have experienced was limited to the fact that I also upgraded my 
pcmcia-cs binaries.  And, if I were to make a new kernel based on 
2.4.18 that I should not expect this problem again since I will be 
using the kernel based pcmcia driver libraries?

Is that about the 'gist' of it?

Re: sound on VAIO FX401

I did not activate yet the sound card. I have tried few solutions, but
none worked. I comiled many kernels with many sound drivers, but none
are working. As I said the lspci give me: "00:07.5 Multimedia audio
controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)".

I put back the xp from the Sony image CD's and I check the proprieties of
the sound card. It said:
VIA AC'97 Audio Controler (WDM)
IO: 1000-10FF, 1C54-1c57, 1C50-1C53,
IRQ: 09
PCI bus 0, device 7, function 5


 From the list of the kernel sound drivers the closest one is VIA82CXXX,
but it is not working. Some one installed RedHat on the same VAIO FX401
and the sound was working without any change. Same persone is using now
Suse. The sound was not properly installed, he just needed to run
modprobe with the VIA82CXXX driver as argument and it was OK.

I don't want to install other linux distributions just to make my laptop
better, I want to stick to Debian.

Please, some suggestions... anything?

Last time I tried to activate the sound with an append line in the
lilo.conf, but the xp did not specified the dma and dma2 values.


Thank you for any help.

 ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO,

 I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of late Gen. Sani Abacha.
 Former Nigeria military head of state who died mysteriouly as a
 result of cardiac arrest. Since after my husband`s death. my
 family has been going through immense harassment including
 undue police restriction and molestation .
 The family account with the bank here and abroad have been
 frozen by the government for reasons that are rather
 vindicative. Our plight ever made worse by the confiscation/
 seizure of our family landed properties and investment in
 Nigeria.

 One of the witch-hunting search light of the government beamed
 on our account a Swiss bank which had a sum of US$ 700 Million
 in it and another US$ 450Million. Threats of freezing and clamp
 on the account have been too much.
 It is for this reason that I have decided to move the sum of
 US$ 60 Million in defaced form packed carefully in sealed metal
 boxes for reason of security.I  humbly  appeal to you on behalf
 of the entire family members to save us from starvation,
 poverty and strangulation by assisting us move the money into
 your country where it shall be safe, since I cannot leave
 Nigeria now due to the movement restriction place on us.
 You can reach us through our fax number above. Our Lawyer shall
 arrange a face to face meeting outside Nigeria for effective
 and logical movement of the money. You can equally get in touch
 with my younger son, Shewu Abacha (Mr) on his cellular phone
 number: 234-1-470-9814 or his e-mail address:

 We will disclose to you the country the security company is located
 in west africa as soon as you show interest. My son shall give you
details of this confidentially  as soon as you get in touch. For the
anticipated co- pperation, we have set 20% of the money for you while 75%
shall be held on trust until we decide on a joint venture business to do
with the money as soon as we regain freedom, while 5% shall
 be mapped out for any incidental expenses that may arise. Treat
 with confident and do reply to save us from the stifling grip
 of the merciless government.

modem on VAIO FX401

2002-02-18 Thread Ionel Mugurel Ciobica

Hi all,

My Vaio Fx401 has a build in winmodem. lspci says:
00:07.6 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Modem Controller (rev 30)

 From windows xp I get:
Conexant-Ambent Soft K56 Data, Fax Modem
PCI bus 0, device 7, function 6, speed 115200, port COM3
IO: 1400-14FF, IRQ: 09

Question: Is there some other places where I can look, besides
http://www.linmodems.org/, and http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html?
In order to see if I have any chance to get the modem to work.

Thank you for your help.

Ionel

Take a look at http://www.mbsi.ca/hsflinux/

NOTE: These drivers are for HSF, not HCF (controllerless) chipsets.
