kernel 2.6 and mouse issues
by Mike Martin 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

I know this is the beta list, but I know a lot here are using the new kernel (esp the arjanv S/RPMs - thanks). I am finding two wierdities which have been present for ages. 1. mousedev does not load on bootup - anyone any idea why?, obviously I can put in a modprobe command in rc.local, but not really satisfactory. 2. the mouse movement, not to put to fine a point on it, is horrendous. What I mean is that it seems really jerky and accelerates all over the place. 2.4.x is fine, I have seen this quite a bit. Any one else seen this/ got workarounds. __________________________________________________ Yahoo! Plus - For a better Internet experience http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/yplus/yoffer.html

RE: Graphical boot isn't so graphical
by Todd Booher 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Not sure what mandrake uses (framebuffer, vesa, etc.) but I think it's a good balance between being "graphical" and still showing the informational stuff so you can get an idea if something failed during the bootup. What does mandrake use? Todd /quote If we consider how successful desktop systems have been, without the detailed startup messages (WIN, MACOS, ...) it isn't that odd of a decision. What would be nice is a sort of compromise between the two. Perhaps the text should be written to both the console and managed by the graphical boot manager, and if any of the startup scripts fail, the GUI should drop away? One more vote for a frame buffer implementation from this corner as well... mark quote\

CD testing
by Benjamin Vander Jagt 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

I've burned countless CDs with RH 8.0, and never had a problem. Burning RH 9.0.93 to CD, though, I used RH 9. I have a 52x24x52x writer (can't remember the brand), and RH 8.0 had a 32x maximum, so I stayed with 32x in RH 9. I burned a load of 9.0.93 CDs, and half were bad. If I remember correctly, I also had some kernel panics while burning music CDs, but I never had any bad data CDs until I burned this beta. I can't think of any reason why this would happen, but has anyone else had any trouble making this beta? -- Benjamin Vander Jagt <benjaminvanderjagt(a)adelphia.net>

No ext3/htree in Severn ?
by Yusuf Goolamabbas 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

A quick look at Severn indicates that ext3/htree patches and ACL patches are not included in the kernel.src.rpm. It would be nice to have filesystem support for large directories available out of the box for RH Linux (ext3/htree or XFS). I thought the ext3/htree backport of 2.4 was quite stable REgards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg(a)outblaze.com

RE: Severn NFS Install
by EricRyd＠cdw.com 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Jeremy, You may have been right...So I again mounted the disk 1 iso image to /temp2 and then ran "dd if=/temp2/images/bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0" I start up and do a linux askmethod and it fails giving me "boot failed...please change disks". This happens during the loading of the kernel on one floppy, and a second floppy this happens during loading the initrd. Any ideas?

You're using a Red Hat Linux 9 boot disk, not a Severn boot disk :) Cheers, Jeremy -- Rhl-beta-list mailing list Rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhl-beta-list

Re: alsa - unresolved symbols
by Lars G 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

trying to figure out my unresolved symbols for the alsa modules. for testing i installed my older 2.4.21 kernel and sources and also get the unresolved symbol problem. it worked fine before, so i seems to be the new compiler. as it does not work with gcc33 i have to try gcc32 from the gcc32.rpm i tried #export CC=gcc32 #export CXX=gcc32 #export HOSTCC=gcc32 before compiling alsa source rpms but it did not change anything after digging around on the web i get the impression that i have to #export CXX=g++32 but there is no such file in the gcc32.rpm so my question is how to recompile source rpms using gcc32 correctly. thanks in advance lars

Sndconfig, does it have to go?
by Benjamin Vander Jagt 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Is there any particular problem with sndconfig? I and some of my customers use older ('96) sound cards, like the Turtle Beach Tropez+. No plug-and-play configuration has ever set it up right, and most just lock up. (In fact, I have *never* gotten the MIDI on these CS4232-based cards to work.) Some of the cards my customers and I use still run over $500 each. I understand that there could possibly be other ways to set up these sound cards, but sndconfig seems to do so the best. Is there some specific problem with sndconfig for which it needs to be removed? If so, would you happen to know any better way to set up some of these older cards? Thanks. P.S.: Wow, now that I'm finally not getting batched mailing list, I can see how amazingly active this list is! -- Benjamin Vander Jagt <benjaminvanderjagt(a)adelphia.net>

IPv6 and pppd.
by Dams 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hello Is the ppp daemon in severn able to handle ipv6 ? Some providers (like nerim in France) actually provide native ipv6 connection. For psyche and shrike, i had to grab patched rpms from http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/ipv6/ to have an ipv6 adress from pppd. ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47761 ) So, could you enable ipv6 in pppd, please ?

Files larger than 2GB Supported In This Version?
by Lo Sheng 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knew if files larger than 2GB are supported via Samba in this version? I was trying to replace the company's NAS with a Linux system, was totally caught off guard that the samba installed on Red Hat 8 does not support files larger than 2GB, despite the fact that large files are supported on Linux's native filesystem. I needed to obtain the patches for both ther 2.4.18 kernel's smbfs, as well as smb itself to get it work correctly. It would be great if this is done in this new release from Red Hat! ls

Broadcom Drivers
by Christopher C. Weis 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Maybe not the correct place to voice this, but any chance of updating the broadcom driver in RH's kernel to support chipsets that are currently shipping with HP workstations? The current HP xw4100 (and probably a lot of others) workstations that HP is shipping have a Gig. Broadcom chipset in them, but the tg3 driver doesn't support the newer chipsets. Broadcom's own bcm5700 driver works (under RH9 anyway). The driver would need to be added to all the kernel packages, as well as to the initrd in the installation images (boot.iso, etc.) I can make the modifications myself and submit them if anyone at RH is interested. I'm not sure how RH handles requests such as this, so please fill me in if I'm way out of line. Thanks. ~Chris
