Bridging and VLANs?

2014-12-11 Thread Tim Nelson
Greetings- I have an interesting situation that requires bridging some VLAN enabled interfaces together on a Debian 7.x x86 system. On the host, there is a single physical interface passing traffic natively (eth0), and two tagged VLANs also passing traffic (eth0.2 and eth0.3). The use case i

fsck on boot...revisited

2013-07-25 Thread Tim Nelson
I have an interesting use case where a Debian Lenny server runs headless, and is at the mercy of poor power conditions (environmental monitoring at a remote storage building). We used to have issues with the server not coming up after several reboots, but we gave it a bandaid by forcing an fsck

Winbond W83L604G on Squeeze - I2C / SMBus

2011-07-01 Thread Tim Nelson
Greetings- I've got a board with a Winbond W83L604G GPIO controller and I'd like to use it with Debian 6.x (also 5.x if possible) for controlling attached LEDs. However, using i2cdetect, I'm not seeing any I2C busses on the system, nor any I2C devices. Does this controller require a specific ke

System Hangs on Activating Swap

2011-02-04 Thread Tim Nelson
Greetings fellow Debian'ers- I've got a system (Lenny, kernel 2.6.26-2-486)that occasionally fails to boot fully. The last item noted on the console is 'Activating Swap', then nothing. I've enabled bootlogd (/etc/default/bootlogd) and verbose mode (/etc/default/rcS) but nothing of importance is

Automated Installation - Copy files from CD?

2010-05-04 Thread Tim Nelson
Greetings all- I need to modify a product based on Debian. It installs from a CD and uses the Debian installer system. Since this product does not contain the proper driver for some of my hardware, I need a way to have the installer copy some files from the CD (which I'll add to the master ISO)

Running Debian Lenny from ramdisk

Greetings all- I've got some questions about Lenny and running from ramdisk. Hoping someone can shed some light. ;-) I have a very specific Debian Lenny based system I use for communications (think VoIP and RS232 serial). This installation is very 'pared down', only the essentials. I currentl
