please post a "lspci -v" and is your kernel selfbuild? maybe your using the
wrong ide chipset?
are there any interessting boot messages? (/var/log/messages)
or have to tried the smartmontools ? a 'smartctl -a /dev/hda'

Wireless trouble and more on Asus M6Ne

2005-12-21 Thread Lars
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I'm running testing on my Asus M6Ne laptop and i'm having a few
problems.
I compiled a new kernel based on 2.6.11.10 patched with bootsplash
and proper support for my synaptic touchpad. This kernel was
compiled while running Sarge and was working fine.
But instead of backporting to much, such as Xorg and gnome 2.10 I
decided to upgrade to Testing, but i'm having trouble with my
wireless (Intel 2200BG).
I can't create a working module with the 1.0.8, so i tried the 1.0.3
which also worked flawless with Sarge. So i compiled a module with
1.0.3 without any problems and place the firmware upgrades in
'/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware'. After reboot this appears in dmesg and
the same if i try 'modprobe ipw2200'.
eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[0]
TSOcap[1]
ieee80211_crypt: version magic '2.6.11.10 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-4.0'
should be '2.6.11.10 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-3.3'
ieee80211: version magic '2.6.11.10 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-4.0' should
be '2.6.11.10 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-3.3'
ipw2200: version magic '2.6.11.10 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-4.0' should
be '2.6.11.10 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-3.3'

I tried to compile a new kernel cause i needed to patch some other
thing and couldn't recompile the 2.6.11.10 kernel. So i think the
GCC error is affecting more than just the wifi-module.

I wondering if it would make more sense to go back to Sarge and
start backporting.. ;-)

Beside my one major problem i have two minor.
1) CPUfreq scaling isn't working in testing, it did with Sarge, but
i can live with that.

2) Sometimes the mouse or keyboard freezes up and there is nothing
to see in dmesg or syslog. FX i pressed ctrl + Enter to send a mail
and usb mouse, keyboard and touchpad frooze! Then i pressed ctrl +
Enter again and they worked again! Anyone seen anything like that!?
Once a had to restart my xserver to get the mouse/touchpad to work
again. This only in testing this is happens..


That was many problems, but the wifi is my main concern. I almost
never use cpu-scaling and though the input-freezing-thing is
annoying, i can live with that. After all it is testing...

Battery granularity problem

2005-12-21 Thread Detlev Casanova
Hello,

  debian detlev # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
  present: yes
  design capacity: 4000 mAh
  last full capacity:  3456 mAh
  battery technology:  rechargeable
  design voltage:  14800 mV
  design capacity warning: 420 mAh
  design capacity low: 156 mAh
* capacity granularity 1:  264 mAh
* capacity granularity 2:  3780 mAh 
  model number:GC86508SAT0
  serial number:
  battery type:Li-Ion 
  OEM info:SANYO

I think that I have a problem with the granularity... My laptop is an Acer 
Aspire 1674wlmi

I had to give the kernel (2.6.12) a correct dsdt to have informations about my 
battery. 

Is it normal that I have BAT1 instead of BAT0 ?

Good afternoon.

Detlev

I would suggest you to try verifying the above with bonnie++ utility.

On my Acer (TravelMate 6003 LMi) I also only have BAT1 and BAT2 - no
BAT0. My output:

$cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
present: yes
design capacity: 4400 mAh
last full capacity:  3526 mAh
battery technology:  rechargeable
design voltage:  14800 mV
design capacity warning: 250 mAh
design capacity low: 100 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  10 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  25 mAh
model number:01ZG
serial number:
battery type:LION
OEM info:SMP

I don't know what the granularity means, or if it's actually used for
anything. I'm more concerned about 'last full capacity', which is about
20% smaller than the design capacity, but maybe that's normal as well.

The granularity means how precise are the informations shown by the ACPI, I 
think ;-)

The last full capacity can be 20 % smaller than the design capacity. That's 
normal.

But I think my granularity is a little too big.

But the capacity's yet precise. :-S
