no sound
by Peter Stummer 30 Aug '01

Hi there, I try to get sound working on my Powerbook G3 (400 MHz, Firewire) Pismo running SuSE Linux 7.1 but the only thing I get is the message (see below) at boot time (copied from /var/log/boot.msg) ! I used kernel 2.4.6-benh from the SuSE ftp server first without any difference. Following the instructions given on the SuSE support data base doesn't solve the problem either, my Powerbook still doesn't make a sound... ...any ideas ?? Thanks, Peter Starting sound driver: snd-card-awacs /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o: init_module: Cannot allocate memory Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o: insmod snd-card-awacs failed done Starting sound driver: snd-card-awacs /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o: init_module: Cannot allocate memory Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0-benh/misc/snd-card-awacs.o: insmod snd-card-awacs failed done

Compiling zimage
by Azman Salleh 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

I need to install linux on a IBM RS6k 43P-140, unfortunately I can't find a ready-made "zimage" that my 140 can boot up from. I saw some patches (243-140) on the IBM site that supposed to fix this 140 problem. It says "...Apply these against the 2.4.3 kernels from the official PowerPC kernel source trees from fsmlabs.com" http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/projects/ppc/43p_140n otes.php Can anybody advise if this is what I should do: 1) Copy source trees from fsmlabs.com into a RS6k B50 running suse-ppc 7.0 2) Apply the 243-140 patch onto the source tree. 3) somehow compile the above together on the B50. A new zimage is produced. 4) dd the zimage into a floppy, and use it to boot the 43P-140. I've never compiled kernel before, so pls provide pointers on how to do this. thanks, azman

clock problem on Titanium PowerBook
by i 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Hello, I'm running SuSE 7.1/PPC on kernel 2.4.8-benh (this happened with older kernels, too), and when I boot linux, the time is always way off (often even the minutes are wrong, not just the hour). So I fix the time in Linux, and everything is fine. But when I go back to MacOS, the clock is wrong again. Anybody else have this problem? Know how to stop it? Thanks. --i

Linuxppc7.1: Umax Scanner 1220s an UmaxS900
by Stephan Ruehle 29 Aug '01

Hallo zusammen, hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich den Scsi Scanner am original Scsi Anschluß zum laufen bekomme? Beim Booten wird der Scanner gemeldet, beim Einrichten auch (/dev/sg2). Leider meldet mir xsane "No device found {o.ä}". Beim zweiten Aufruf von xsane dann "device busy". Gruß Stephan

Fw: [suse-ppc] How to use cdwriter ide included on iMac
by Alain Barth�lemy 27 Aug '01

27 Aug '01

Still problems with CDwriter delivered with iMac (transparent blue casing bought in march). This iMac is thus equipped with an ide CDwriter (unfortunately not SCSI) I have thus to emulate the CDwriter as a SCSI driver in order to be able to use cdrecord. I follow the same procedures as at home with a PC and a ide CDwriter: 1) in /etc/lilo.config: have line append = "hdb=ide-scsi" (then type instruction lilo) 2) in /etc/modules: have line alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi 3) add line /dev/scd0 /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Everything goes fine I reboot instruction mount /cdrom : OK cd is mounted I type "eject": error: unable to eject, last error: input/output error I read the man of eject: I type eject scd0: OK it ejects Now I can try to burn a CD Mkisofs: OK no problem to make an image and to mount it with mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 etc... I test cdrecord -scanbus: SCSI device is 0,0,0 I try now cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,0,0 dir/image.iso and.... .... my dear SuSE 7.1 on iMac "crashes" no error messages, no explanation, just crashes: only solution: hard stop. Anybody can give me an idea how to burn a CD on an iMac? -- Alain Barthélemy Section de Biosécurité et Biotechnologie Institut de Santé Publique R. J. Wytsman, 14 1050 Bruxelles

I am having difficulty booting 7.1 PPC on a G4, with a separate hard drive for Mac OS9.1 and the SuSE Linux. Does anyone have the text for the OS bootable script? My partition for the Linux Root is "/dev/hda8" Thank you.

How to use cdwriter ide included on iMac
by Alain Barth�lemy 24 Aug '01

24 Aug '01

Small problem At home I use without problem an ide cdwriter on a PC to burn CD I just have to emulate it as a scsi drive On the iMac, I apply the same configuration in /etc/lilo.conf change line: append="hdb=ide-scsi" (I checked, drive is well hdb) then type "lilo" to fix thr config in /etc/modules.conf: change alias scsi_hostadapter off to alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi Everything goes fine. If I type cdrecord -scanbus the cdwriter is detected as scsi drive. I change /etc/fstab -> I can mount the drive Though, I have a BIG problem, if I want to eject the CD I get an error message (input/output error or something like that) and the CD does not get out. Has somebody solved the problem? Alain Barthélemy
