| 00:32.41 | Ringo999 | ok. im back, still no luck. im trying to install debian on ibook. the problem is, that the installer cant find the network interface. i figured that i have to load the sungem module. however, the sungem module isnt available in the /lib/modules folder. any idea how to solve this? |
| 00:34.36 | Ringo999 | avar, how did you load the module under your sarge install? which module did you use? |
| 00:35.24 | avar | I told you before |
| 00:35.51 | Ringo999 | really, u specified teh module? |
| 00:35.55 | _rene_ | Q-FUNK: yes |
| 00:36.13 | Ringo999 | avar, can you please repeat? |

| 10:47.41 | Ringo999 | pahartik, do you think you can help me? im totaly exhausted on this problem |
| 10:48.27 | Ringo999 | in fact, anyone is welcome to help, i would really appreciate it. |
| 10:49.19 | Ringo999 | i feel like ive read every single debian ppc installation tutorial, ive tried installing from hd and cdrom, sarge and etch, and still now luck |
| 10:51.00 | pahartik | Ringo999: I do not know state of testing installer, I used some version of stable installer I already had on CD-RW media few moons ago when iBook G4 harddisk passed out and had to be replaced |
| 10:52.02 | Ringo999 | and you just booted from cd and used the installer? no problems with the partitioning? |

| 12:44.34 | pahartik | Ringo999: could you try if it can be mounted manually from installer shell? |
| 12:47.12 | pahartik | Ringo999: reasons I could imagine to cause such situation: harddisk is failing, partition table is somehow broken, filesystem was not created successfully, filesystem driver is not present for kernel to mount it... |
| 12:51.26 | Ringo999 | mmm....i tried to mount it manually, but it said the device was busy or invalid arguement |

| 13:07.11 | pahartik | ringo999: if you "cat /proc/filesystems", does it mention "ext3"? |
| 13:07.11 | ringo999 | i get the error message "Invalid argument" |
| 13:07.47 | ringo999 | no |
| 13:08.09 | ringo999 | this is the point where i have been so many times and i dont know how to go on from here |
| 13:09.14 | ringo999 | there is an error message in dmesg stating "cramfs: wrong magic" |
| 13:09.16 | pahartik | ringo999: I think that if one skips "configuring network" on network installer, kernel does not have filesystem driver modules, as they are fetched from network (if I recall correctly) |
| 13:10.40 | pahartik | ringo999: parts of "partman", that is used for partitioning and creating filesystems, are fetched from network as well |
| 13:11.31 | ringo999 | pahartik: bah. so now what? the network interface requires the "sungem" module |
| 13:12.19 | pahartik | ringo999: network driver modules are of course included in network installer :) |
| 13:13.31 | ringo999 | sorry im confused? what do i do now? im quite new to linux you must now, and i guess i havent had the time to read everything yet |
| 13:14.41 | ringo999 | you mean the net driver modules will be available only after the netinstall? great... |
| 13:14.52 | ringo999 | that doesnt make sense |
| 13:15.32 | pahartik | ringo999: after installer is booted and stops at first interactive dialog... switch to second virtual console and try "modprobe sungem"? |
| 13:16.07 | ringo999 | failed to load module sungem |
| 13:16.13 | ringo999 | its not available |
| 13:16.19 | ringo999 | for whatever reason |
| 13:17.06 | johill | have you installed the network extra modules udeb? |
| 13:17.08 | pahartik | ringo999: then name is different... or... one needs to specify location of module... |
| 13:17.19 | ringo999 | well, where would i find it? |
| 13:17.25 | ringo999 | johill: how do i do that? |
| 13:17.35 | johill | dunno. somewhere in the installer it gives you an option like 'load software from cd' |
| 13:17.59 | johill | or maybe it loads it by itself, I'm not sure |
| 13:18.05 | ringo999 | johill: load installer components from CD? |
| 13:18.09 | johill | yes |
| 13:19.19 | ringo999 | johill: yeah, it says that all required components were already loaded, and then shows a list of 5 more to select, none of them for network though |
| 13:19.27 | johill | ok |
| 13:19.37 | johill | go to the shell and try |
| 13:19.40 | johill | find / | grep sungem |
| 13:19.58 | johill | or wait |
| 13:20.01 | pahartik | ringo999: "find / -name 'sungem.*'" |
| 13:20.17 | johill | is it called differently on 2.4? |
| 13:20.40 | ringo999 | not found |
| 13:20.44 | ringo999 | nada |
| 13:20.45 | ringo999 | damn |
| 13:20.47 | johill | bugger |
| 13:20.54 | johill | well no wonder it doesn't work then |
| 13:21.00 | johill | what install cd are you using? |
| 13:21.12 | ringo999 | debian netinstall etch |
| 13:21.24 | johill | odd |
| 13:21.35 | ringo999 | this is messed up |
| 13:21.52 | johill | I'm pretty sure I used that to bootstrap my powerbook ~10 months ago |
| 13:22.01 | johill | and it needs sungem too |
| 13:22.27 | ringo999 | well yeah, but why isnt it working then for me? |
| 13:22.27 | pahartik | ringo999: "find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/" |
| 13:23.59 | ringo999 | pahartik: no net folder under drivers, but under kernel |
| 13:24.23 | ringo999 | and there i only have unix.ko an af_packet.ko |
| 13:24.33 | johill | that's odd |
| 13:24.39 | johill | there should be at least *some* |
| 13:24.52 | ringo999 | this is freaky |
| 13:25.16 | pahartik | ringo999: are you still sure this is "netinst CD"? |
| 13:25.20 | johill | otoh, this is 2.4 no? |
| 13:25.27 | ringo999 | no 2.6.12 |
| 13:25.34 | johill | k |
| 13:25.51 | ringo999 | johill: what other would it be if not netinst |
| 13:26.16 | johill | pahartik: even the others should have net drivers |
| 13:26.18 | ringo999 | so what to do now? |
| 13:27.15 | johill | download the snapshot installer |
| 13:27.21 | johill | eh, installer snapshot |
| 13:27.26 | pahartik | ringo999: have you tried full DVD or CD installer? |
| 13:27.39 | ringo999 | havent, but i guess that is my only option left |
| 13:28.00 | johill | http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/mini.iso |
| 13:28.09 | johill | I hope you have CD-RWs :) |
| 13:28.22 | ringo999 | i do, but only 1! |
| 13:28.41 | ringo999 | johill: what is this mini? |
| 13:28.46 | johill | heh I have half a dozen or so after some neighbour bought me some after I had burned a couple of CDs for him :P |
| 13:28.50 | ringo999 | isnt that businesscard? |
| 13:28.55 | johill | (those were CD-Rs and I didn't even ask him to do it) |
| 13:28.59 | johill | that's netboot |
| 13:29.22 | ringo999 | you mean netinstall? |
| 13:29.55 | ringo999 | *avoid |
| 13:30.14 | ringo999 | so witch cd should i burn now |
| 13:30.27 | pahartik | ringo999: me too, I prefer just writing data on them sometimes |
| 13:33.17 | pahartik | ringo999: http://www.de.debian.org/CD/ |
| 13:33.31 | johill | give me a minute, just checking if the netboot contains sungem |
| 13:34.00 | ringo999 | ok thx for helping me out here folks, ive been sitting here since yesterday and this drive me really nuts! |
| 13:34.52 | johill | yes it does |
| 13:35.01 | johill | download and use above URL I posted (mini.iso) |

| 13:35.11 | johill | ./lib/modules/2.6.15-1-powerpc/kernel/drivers/net/sungem.ko |
| 13:36.14 | johill | (come to think of it, I probably used the netboot too when bringing up my powerbook) |
| 13:38.38 | ringo999 | johill: wait a second, this is only 9 MB right? |
| 13:39.06 | johill | yes |
| 13:39.15 | johill | it loads everything off the network later |

| 13:39.56 | johill | heh |
| 13:40.10 | johill | well it doesn't yet have an airport driver in the installer ;) |

| 15:00.51 | ringo999 | hi im back. with yet another problem. after the installation everything as working fine. i installed gdm/xfce4 ... then after a reboot, all of teh sudden my network card isnt found anymore. i modprobe'd sungem, but how to i get the eth0 device back? i know that in the long run i will probably have to build my own kernel...but right now i dont have the time for that |
| 15:01.53 | johill | ringo999: probably eth0 assigned to the firewire ethernet thingie |

| 15:03.16 | ringo999 | how do i do that again? |
| 15:03.22 | pahartik | ringo999: you probably need to "ifup eth0" after "modprobe sungem"... |
| 15:03.36 | ringo999 | ifconfig only shows lo |
| 15:05.19 | pahartik | ringo999: no "eth0" even after module is loaded? |

| 18:38.43 | pahartik | SoTMaR: what happens when you try to build it? |
| 18:39.16 | SoTMaR | It says that I don't have /lib/modules/kernelversion/build |
| 18:39.34 | SoTMaR | And it's true |
| 18:39.36 | SoTMaR | :P |
| 18:39.56 | SoTMaR | I'm using the default kernel that comes with sarge |
| 18:40.25 | SoTMaR | So I supposed it was necessary to install kernel-headers, kernel-source and kernel-build packages |
| 18:41.13 | SoTMaR | But no solution |
| 18:45.52 | mrwick | hey, everybody, I've got one of these PowerBook5,4 (1.33GHz) |
| 18:46.19 | mrwick | should I be able to play cd's? I thought I could before, and am now attempting a troubleshoot of the issue |
| 18:49.29 | pahartik | SoTMaR: if you use "linux-image-2.6.15-1-powerpc", "linux-headers-2.6.15-1-powerpc" should be used for building external modules... I do not really know about those, as I use kernel packages I build myself... as long as source is around, it is easy to build external modules... |
| 18:49.39 | mrwick | the cd spins up, and appears to be playing, but no sound. |
| 18:50.11 | pahartik | mrwick: start "gxine", choose "CD" from "File" menu... |
| 18:51.47 | SoTMaR | pahartik, I've tried to compile a kernel but I'm a newbie in debian-ppc so everything I build crashes |
| 18:51.47 | SoTMaR | :d |
| 18:51.51 | pahartik | mrwick: if it tries to access wrong device, fix it in configuration dialog... "audio CD" device should point to "/dev/cdroms/cdrom0" or something similar, that matches your system and kernel configuration |
| 18:52.25 | mrwick | pahartik: okay, it worked with gxine, but why do I have to use gxine? |
| 18:52.53 | mrwick | . .instead of say.. alsaplayer |
| 18:53.00 | pahartik | mrwick: "MPlayer" and "VLC" work too, if you do not want "gxine" |
| 18:53.55 | SoTMaR | pahartik, I don't have linux-image in stable repositories, is it normal? |
| 18:53.57 | mrwick | pahartik: actually, I want alsaplayer. . but duh.. I never thought to try those other players.. is it because of the superdrive or something? |

| 18:56.41 | johill | it requires something fairly recent |
| 18:58.50 | pahartik | mrwick: there is no audio connection between DVD/CD device and audio hardware, one has to use software that reads digital data from audio CD and delivers it to ALSA (or OSS)... |
