My 8139 card may be a bit earlier that yours, but I found that I had to load the 8139too module to get the card to work. try as root. modprobe 8139too If it works you can add it to /etc/modules on one line as below, and it will be loaded when you boot up. 8139too

I struggled for a while to figure out how to do exactly this, without success. I believe that cron does not work, since (at least some) ncurses apps insist on being run from a terminal.

Nope. XP will boot from another partition too. hda1 or sda1 is not a option for it. But it will install its own bootmanager into the mbr. So save your mbr first with dd (BEFORE you install XP!!!!). You can put the etch bootimage onto your hard disk and call it by the XP bootloader by setting a line to the XP boot.ini (save it on a usb-stick e.g. to transfer it after the XP is installed). If you have a SATA disc: dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/[your username]/etch.lin bs=512 count=1 Insert this line into your xp boot.ini (if XP uses the partition as C:\ ): c:\etch.lin="Debian Etch" That gives you a new bootoption in your XP bootloader. From there you can start Etch again and repair the grub bootloader if you want to stick to grub. cu Pierre

Before proceeding with major upgrades, I boot with Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/download/sourceforge/) and I create an image of the hard disk. This image is written to an external USB hard disk. Should anything goes funny after the upgrade, I can always revert to the state before the upgrade... G.

But I want to install XP in another disk, different from which etch is installed. So XP will install its own bootmanager into the mbr of this different disk. Am I wright? Remember that I can tell the bios from what disk the system boots. I gues I can use this in order to make the system boot from the second disk, where XP is being installed, making XP ignore the disk where etch is installed.

Both disk are ATA, not SATA. The line is the same in this case?

As my machine uses a 1.3GHz celeron, I don't suppose this is going to work, is it? linux-image-2.6.21-2-k7rt8 Anyone any suggestions to get realtime working, if the above kernel is a no goer? The problem I have is that when starting jackd there are loads of xruns showing in it's messages, and when playing a music app, horgand for example, I am getting static like noise every so often when playing notes. Any help/suggestions appreciated. Nigel.

This is on AMD64 unstable, with: linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64 udev 0.114-2 I have defined the following udev rule: ATTRS{idVendor}=="13e0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2517", KERNEL=="sd*", SYMLINK+="usb/stick%n", OPTIONS+="all_partitions" The memorystick has one primary partition (vfat). When the stick is inserted while booting, udev correctly creates the desired symlinks: # ls -l /dev/usb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-09-30 17:30 stick -> ../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-09-30 17:30 stick1 -> ../sda1 However, when I insert the same memorystick after the computer is booted, only the symlink to /dev/sda is created. Also, the kernel messages are quit different in these two cases. When I insert the stick after booting, the kernel log shows the following: Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: hub 1-5:1.0: USB hub found Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: hub 1-5:1.0: 1 port detected Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb 1-5.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb 1-5.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb-storage: device found at 11 Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Sep 30 17:54:20 casper kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete Sep 30 17:54:20 casper kernel: scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36 Sep 30 17:54:20 casper kernel: scsi 6:0:0:: Direct-Access USB 2.0 Flash Drive 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Sep 30 17:54:20 casper kernel: sd 6:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk However, looking back in the kernel boot log (that is, with the memorystick inserted), I see: [snip] Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36 Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB 2.0 Flash Drive 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] 256000 512-byte hardware sectors (131 MB) Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] 256000 512-byte hardware sectors (131 MB) Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sda: sda1 Sep 30 17:03:15 casper kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk Does this problem sound familiar to anyone on this list?
