How to Install Debian Sarge on SATA drive???

Posted: 25 Dec 2005 04:37 PM PST

 
When you boot from the disc in there should be a splash screen with a
boot prompt there. Hit F1 to check and make sure you are installing
the 2.6 series kernel. Also, you can check the parameters listed there
to see what you need to type at the boot prompt to get the drivers for
the SATA working. Make sure you are using the Debian 3.1r0a installer.
Personally, if you have a simple network with dhcp and an active
internet connection I recommend using the Debian 3.1r0a netinstall.
Download the tiny image <200mb burn to RW disc if you have one and then
start the install from that.
Check out this guide for more help too:

Also, here is the link for the netinstall image:

Cadence Tool Disaster

Thanks....I'll try this out.
Just that when I use Hummingbird Exceed to log on into the same
machine, I can invoke seultra with no problems.

Thanks,

In related news though, I've discovered that my friends in Beatallica
are releasing their music under the Creative Commons License and even
have a link to the EFF on their web site. I was also surprised to
learn that their recent run-in with Sony-BMG was resolved after the
real Lars from Metallica stepped in and donated the use of Metallica's
lawyers in defense of Beatallica.

None of this has hurt the band... they recently returned from a
European tour and continue to play all across the US. Not bad
for a band that only distributes their music as a free MP3
download.

For those that don't know, Beatallica is a parody band that does
Beatles covers in the style of Metallica. Very funny. Check them
out at www.beatallica.org.

Where is a Debian network setup site?

Posted: 23 Dec 2005 06:03 PM PST

> What is the kernel version, under Debian and under Knoppix? 

Knoppix is 2.6.12
Debian is 2.6.8

So the Debian kernel is older than Knoppix 
Knoppix may be a distro from Debian, but it is very different in the /etc
structure.

The proper driver (from the nvidia web site) is forcedeth.ko Using
lsmod (Knoppix) it is listed but has a zero as in the "Used by" column
and no description. But it works. Modconf show it to be active.

That same driver is listed as loading in the dmesg log of debian, but
lsmod doesn't list it and grep can't find any reference to it anywhere in
the system except for it actual driver in /lib/....drivers/net/ Modconf
shows it to be active. If I remove the driver the link light goes out.
Reinstall it, the link light goes on. ifconfig shows a working
configuration and a local ping works. Pinging a real address doesn't blink
the network lites and always says that the destination is unreachable.

The Knoppix driver is of a different size than the one delivered with
Debian, but when I moved that one over the symptom didn't change.
 

That is for sure. However, I am learning Linux at a massive rate, even if
I am not fixing the original problem so far.

W: GPG error: http://security.debian.org stable/updates Release: Unknown error executing gpgv

Yep, according to root:

# gpgv
gpgv: keyblock resource `/root/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg': general error

I also reran apt-get update this morning and I no longer get the errors.
It seems like it got fixed from remotely or by itself? I ran apt-get update
twice. Should I be OK now?

 
 
 
 
 
 

I will try this if it happens again. ;)

 
 

Merry Christmas Enrique, and thanks. :)

initrd and root= option

I don't know how different things were before udev; you may find it usefull
to see what is in the init program (or linuxrc) of my FC4 system:

#!/bin/nash

mount -t proc /proc /proc

echo Mounted /proc filesystem
echo Mounting sysfs
mount -t sysfs /sys /sys
echo Creating /dev
mount -o mode=0755 -t tmpfs /dev /dev

/sbin/udevstart
echo Creating root device
mkrootdev /dev/root
echo Mounting root filesystem
mount -o defaults --ro -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot
echo Switching to new root
switchroot --movedev /sysroot

mkrootdev and switchroot are nash builtins. switchroot seems to do about the
same thing as pivot_root, but works only with 2.6 kernels. The argument
is the earlier mount point of the fs that shall become the new root. It is
not clear what happens to the initrd fs.

This is ls -ld of all files:

Laptop Screen Resolution and not working graphical interface

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 01:46 PM PST

Installing to Ubuntu to my laptop (not live) is ok. It asked to me the
resolutions and it has 1280x854 :) So It worked (now only Ubuntu
install version worked but I will try other dist.)

For my desktop I installed mandriva 2006. I tried all nvidia drivers
(with every try I had to reinstall mmandriva :( ) only fb (frame
buffer) version worked. So I have only one problem with desktop. I cant
set freq. 85hz, it is working 70 but I think I can find an answer
myself. Now I can learn Linux :)

Thanks for every help...

NFS permissions

<chomp>

I resolved the issue. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, a reboot made
everything work as expected. I hated using an MS solution. Most of this
thread responded to the alt.os.linux.gentoo thread as I had put that as my
followup-to header.
