time skew

hi group, I'm having this problem on my iMac. it's a 500/in/64(upgraded to 576)/20(replaced with 80)/cd/ultra/56k/fw/vga. since some time it jumps random amounts of seconds, mostly into the future, this is not related to ntp (I disactivated it) nor to ntpdate (I checked what would happen if I d

Hi everybody, I have a Sweex irda dongle, I have tested it under kernel 2.4 and all tests succeeded, I did not really syncronize my old IBM WorkPad c3 from there, but looking at the irdadump, I could recognize some data from the PDA as it was being transmitted. now on kernel 2.6 if I follow the u

2004-10-20 Thread Mario Frasca
I'm trying to understand the situation... the way I found to have the options recognized during a session is by creating a "/etc/modprobe.d/usbcore" file with the single line "options scsi_mod max_luns=8". I find it surprising that putting the same content into the file "/etc/modprobe.d/scsi_mod"

Hallo everybody, I had posted this on comp.os.linux.setup but got no reply, so I try again on this more dedicated forum. the problem is quite strange. I boot my system (Debian sarge with kernel 2.6.8 on iMac), with my ImageMate SDDR-75, it is a USB smartmedia (sdb) and compactflash (sda) card re

yes: I installed hotplug and everything's working... quite nice, since now I finally have sound. but the mixer is a pain, the minimum level is far too high if my neighbours baby is sleeping (in the sense, finally not crying). on the other hand, if this ppc makes enough noise, I don't hear the ba

so I managed to install the new 2.6.8 kernel and boot it. I understand that this is more modular, or maybe I should say module oriented, so I have to load explicitly ethernet (or put it into /etc/modules). my problem is that it looks like also usb has to be loaded as a module, isn't it so? and
