Subject: RTC problems in Debian on PowerEdge 1950



Hi guys,


I'm trying to get a vmware server up and running in a Debian 4.0 on a
Dell PowerEdge 1950 rack server, but I have some problems with RTC.



Symptoms:=20


- When running "hwclock", Debian says "select() to /dev/rtc to wait for
clock tick timed out".=20


- When starting a guest host on vmware-server in Debian, I get about
3500/sec log messages about "rtc: lost some interrupts at 2048Hz". Some
times it changes to 1024 or 4096.



Attempted solutions:


- Changed HWCLOCKPARS in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh to "--directisa", didn't
solve.


- Rebuilt kernel with Hz set to 100 and 1000, both didn't solve.
- Tried the 2.6.23 kernel, didn't solve.



One solution that I've found on google is to just switch to Ubuntu
Server, but I don't want to do that, as Debian is the required spec for
our vmware servers here.



Please help, I'm desperate!

I do this all the time; in fact, it's the reason I use OfflineIMAP.
My backup machine, desktop, and laptop all sync with several

FWIW, udev has started renaming eth0 to eth3 on my home box (there is
no eth1 or eth2).  I haven=B4t had time to fix it yet, but will take a
look at it tonight.  The message, IIRC, is udev: renaming eth0 to eth3,
so you might want to repeat your dmesg | cat ... without the ^ and see
if something similar is going on.

This is false.



As any other programming language COBOL is as portable as the programmer
make it (same thing apply for Java/C/Python/OCaml/Perl...)



FYI, there is a big difference between GCOS 8/GCOS 7/IBM MVS cobol
compiler (and you will find another set of differences with Micro Focus,
Fujitsu...)



If this argument is the main to choose COBOL rather than C, i really
think you should reconsider your position.



Regards,


Sylvain Le Gall



ps: i am working for a company that converts program sources between
different dialects of COBOL (and especially from MVS/GCOS to UNIX). My work is
to deal with the non-portability of COBOL...


Do you need more help?X

Are you seriously telling people that you can't add a NIC to Debian
without re-installing?  Get a life.



Now, if you're using some pointy-clicky lindows thingy, perhaps.  Get
rid of it.  



udev should find all your hardware.  If you find it doesn't, do the
old-fashioned method.  Find the right module (read the kernel-docs, read
the chips on your NIC, match them up), and insmod it.  If you need
parameters its easier (if you want a bit of a GUI) to install modconf
which will ask for the parameters and put them in the right place.



Your module name would go under /etc/modules and be loaded at each boot.



Once you have an eth* you can then go ahead and put it in
/etc/network/interfaces.


Can we help you?X

Done.



The Debian way isn't a mistery.  Read the debian-manual, man pages, and
if necessary, ask here.  



Doug.

I think you could use something like



export TEXMFDBS="$(kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R):~/.etc/texmf"


Can't find what you're looking for?X

but that is probably not much better than running



mktexlsr ~/.etc/texmf



directly when needed.



I simply deleted my ~/texmf/ls-R when the system was changed, as
suggested in /usr/share/doc/tex-common/NEWS.Debian.gz. This works fine
for me, but it might become annoying if you have too many files in the
texmf directories in $HOME. I have about 800 files in there and I don't
notice any delay when latex has to search for one of them while it
processes a source file.

Hi there,

	Just wondering whether anyone has tried ebox
http://www.ebox-platform.com on the debian system. By the looks it's
similar to Webmin, however, not as long running. Currently, it's running
version 0.10. I was considering setting it up on my firewall\proxy
\router at home.

	Any comments, ideas appreciated.

that's no good.

how about giving us some more information like maybe which version of
debian you're running, when this problem showed up, how the system
behaved before this problem, things you've done to try and diagnose
the problem, any pertinent log entries etc etc etc.=20

and Amit, one really helpful command in these situations:

will list all the files installed by that package which will quickly

that soudns like a very badly behaving
driver/program/something-or-other. Do you know what the file is that
keeps overwriting? might be a clue. Maybe its not a problem with
fsck.vfat but with somethign else that is overwriting the FAT and then
fsck.vfat gets all confused trying to recover a borked FAT. just a
thought.

One important difference is if the machine gets rebooted in the
mean time.

with ctrl and alt not working, it'll be tough, but can you switch to a
vt?

chvt <a vt number, usually 1-6>

as root should switch you to that virtual terminal.=20

Then try out your keyboard in the vt. This eliminate (or not) the X
issue.=20

also, you could boot a live cd and see if the problem persists,
pointing then to a hardware problem.
