Lots of lockups during wake with PBG4, XF4.2.1, benh 2.4.20-rc3

2002-11-26 Thread Jeffrey Baker
Ever since I upgraded my kernel from
2.4.19-presomething-benh, I have been getting tons of
lockups on wake.  The machine is powerbook g4, first
revision, 400MHz.  The wakeup lockups are always in X, but I
never use the console.  X is not using DRI.

As for modules, I've got dmasound_pmac loaded, and airo for
my Aironet 352 card.  I don't think it is related to Aironet
though because sometimes the laptop has crashed even before
firing up the PCMCIA slot.

Is anyone else seeing this?  I'm up to 2.4.20-pre3-ben0 and
I'm still crashing.  It is very annoying.  Should I try
disabling IDE DMA or something?

Resource conflicts on 1st-gen TiBook

2002-12-10 Thread Jeffrey Baker
After upgrading from 2.4.19-pre to 2.4.20-pre, both benh trees, I
have started seeing resource conflict messages in my logs.  I wonder
if this is related to my crashes.

In 20-pre3, I started seeing this when I inserted my Cisco Aironet
card:

resource conflict with: 8000..8007 (200), name: Apple Computer Inc. 
KeyLargo Mac I/O

Now in 20-pre4, I started seeing this:

resource conflict with: 9000..9fff (1200), name: PCI CardBus #11
resource conflict with: f300..f33f (200), name: PCI CardBus #11
resource conflict with: 1000..8fff (100), name: PCI CardBus #11
resource conflict with: 9000..90ff (100), name: PCI CardBus #11

This doesn't seems to make a lot of sense.  How can the CardBus
conflict with itself?  Is this possibly related to crashing?

Re: Turning Airport card off on iBook

First, your airport card isn't going to interfere with anything
related to flying the airplane.  There's absolutely no science
behind these in-flight electronics rules and it's all a bunch of
rubish.  It's the same form of rubbish that makes every gas station
in california prohibit use of cell phones near the gas pumps,
regardless of the giant whirling high-power electrical generator in
every car.  Sigh.

The reason you can't use your cell phone in the plane is because it
fucks up the terrestrial cellular network, not because it interferes
with the avionics.

Now that I have that off my chest...

You can disable your airport card by simply commenting out this line
in /etc/network interfaces:

auto eth0

change it to

# auto eth0

To bring the card up and down (for your nefarious terrorist
activities, no doubt), use 'ifup eth0' and 'ifdown eth0'.

See also 'man interfaces'.
