Hi,

could somebody please tell me

whether security patches come out at the same date
for the PowerPC architecture as for i386?


The reason of my question is, that I would like
to go for debian on PowerPC for my webserver.
I'm a little bit afraid that there is possibility
for a delay of the security updates.



Kind regards
Gunnar

Re: Keyboard messed up with new kernel

I have a feeling that this is a common problem, but I
haven't been able to find any explanations.

I just installed a new kernel (2.4.2 stable from the
bitkeeper tree on ppckernel.org).  I'm using BootX, so
I installed the kernel and the modules on the linux
partition and then installed the kernel on the hfs
partition for bootx.  It started up fine and
everything seemed normal until I was prompted to login
where I found that my keymap had been entirely screwed
up.  Like I said, I think this is a common problem,
but I don't know how to go about fixing it.

Acard 6280M howto ?

2003-04-11 Thread jens francke

hi all,

i recently got my old beige G3 an Acard 6280M ATA 133 IDE controller.
the card is recognized fine under os x and mac os. but my debian install
wouldnt recognize the card. i compiled a new kernel with:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AEC62XX=y
CONFIG_AEC62XX_TUNING=y
but the new kernel wouldnt recognize the card at boot-up  :(

lspci does see the card the right way:
00:0d.0 SCSI storage controller: Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 (rev 06)
(its listed as SCSI-Controller which is right. )

i googled for the problem and found some reports of people with a 6260M
who got at least the kernel recognize the card.
linux-ide.org claims that the chip is linux compatible 
(http://www.linux-ide.org/chipsets.html)


anyone got the acard 6280M to work can hint me to a further direction ?

tia

Heya,

I upgraded from Woody to the "testing" distribution which ended up in 
total chaos in my keymap. I even cannot  login because every key isn't 
where it is supposed to. Is there any kernel-argument to ovverrun the 
settings in consoles. Because I cannot change the settings without  a 
keyboard working properly!


Cheers for any help!

Re: Acard AEC6280 / ATP-865

2003-05-26 Thread jens francke

use BenH´s ppc Kernel Tree. with it i got the 6280M working fine.

I've seen many questions posted on public message boards and mailing
list archives about Linux support for the Acard AEC6280 PCI card /
ATP-865 Ultra ATA 133 controller chip, possibly marked:

Vendor: 0x1191
Device ID: 0x0009

but I haven't seen support for it expressed anywhere, particularly
not in response to those public questions. I ran a Debian current
(3.0r1) boot cd on a Macintosh B/W G3 last night, and neither of the
installation kernels finds the controller or the disk attached to it.
If I could find something like an acard.o somewhere, I could probably
put it on an ext2 partition on an ATA Flash disk, boot from the first
Debian cd-rom and use insmod to have the controller and disk
recognised, and then mount a couple of Linux partitions on the hdd to
get the Debian installation going, but for now, there seems to be no
support at all from the 2.4.x kernel in Debian 3.0r1.

Was this issue ever resolved?

Re: 2.4.21 on a G3

2003-06-17 Thread Jens Francke

hi,

i am using AEC6280M in a beige G3.
with 2.4.20 i needed benH´s tree to make it work.

i just compiled the 2.4.21 vanilla last weekend. AEC6280M works like a 
charme without any patches:)


give it a try

I downloaded the (final) 2.4.21 kernel recently. Does anyone know of
a howto to get this to build on a G3 (B/W) system? Has support for
AEC6280 become more useful in recent kernels? Is there a handy patch
out there that gets thing going faster and more smoothly for specific
powerpc systems?
