DMA issues on install

Posted: 14 Apr 2007 03:18 AM PDT

Further to this, it was suggested I send you the following from the boot
up process:


Uniform MultiPlatform E-IDE drive Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
SIS5513: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:02.5
SIS5513: chipset revision 208
SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe for irq's later
SIS5513: SiS735 ATA 100 (2nd gen) controller
ide0: BM-DMA at oxff00-oxff07, BIOS settings hda:DMA, dhb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at oxff09-oxff0f, BIOS settings hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hda: MAXTOR 91021u2, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hdc: TOSHIBA CD_ROM XM-6402B, ATAPI CD/DVD ROM DRIVW
ide1 at ox170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: max request size 128KiB
hda: 20010816 sectors (10245MB) w/512KiB cache, CHS=198852/16/63,UDMA(66)
hda: cache flushes not supported
hda:<4>hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma_status == 0x61
hda: DMA timeout error
hda: dma timeout error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: lost interrupt


I hope this throws additional light onto the problem.

How to repair swap partition?

OK, so you've partitioned out a swap partition. That's good

Yah. Swap partitions don't have a filesystem (as such) on them.
There's nothing for fsck (of any flavour) to check.
 


Well, first off
mkswap /dev/hdb1
then
swapon /dev/hdb1

You'll want to read the manual pages on mkswap(8) ("man 8 mkswap") and
swapon(8) ("man 8 swapon"). To summarize, mkswap(8) formats the paging
partition ("swap") for use, and swapon(8) tells the system to start
using the partition for paging.

You'll also want to ensure that your /etc/fstab contains a line like
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
so that the next time you boot up, you won't need to enter the
swapon(8) command.

Why the infamous Red Hat Special and not, say, 2.95.3 or 2.95.4?

problem with /etc/modules.conf

Yes, it does, thanks. However, what was wrong with the line
install ra0 /sbin/modprobe --force-vermagic rt2500
that I put in /etc/modprobe.conf? I'd be more happy if I could insert the
module in time, to prevent the error message during boot:
"interface ra0 could not be found, delaying initialisation [FAILED]"

Thanks a lot anyway,

Your swap partition could be full.

In a terminal window, type this command 'free.' It will list RAM and swap
usage.

Also, are you sure that your swap partition is 750 SECTORS? That's
awfully small. Hard drive sectors are usually 512 BYTES(!) each.

Problems with 915resolution package?

That is normal behaviour, detailed in the xorg.conf manual page. Search
for the word Virtual (it should be in the DISPLAY SUBSECTION area).

To disable the panning, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to specify a virtual
resolution that matches the screen's physical resolution.

glibc upgrade

Posted: 07 Apr 2007 04:37 AM PDT

I'm looking at RHEL 4.4 SRPM's right now. There is *NO* published
glibc-2.5 for RHEL 4 in all its flavors. You *CANNOT* expect to just
slap in a vastly newer version of glibc and have it work for all your
applications without recompiling *all* of them with the new glibc, and
the change of glibc will break the compiler itself.

I suggest you give up now, and proceed to RHEL 5 or CentOS 5 when it
comes out in a few weeks. This "update one package and everything will
be great approach" breaks badly due to massive, massive dependencies
on such core packages. No one at RedHat will want to help you with
this: mixing and matching such core packages can introduce all sorts
of nasty breakages.

If you *have* to do this, I suggest you also grab the compat-
glibc-2.3.4 package from wherever you grabbed the glibc-2.5, and
carefully work your way through the dependencies downloading other
packages as needed.

Yes, becouse you use glibc when you program i C.

Indeed. I added a couple of custom packages to DSL & it has become a
workplace "swiss army knife" for systems with broken hard drives.

I found DSL-NOT a better choice since it has a 2.6.?? kernel with a
better choice of drivers. Still fits very nicely on a regular CD.
