Please help me (advansys scsi card )
by Santosh Laxman Kyadari 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

I have Exabyte elite tape drive connected to advansys scsi card. When I do mt -f /dev/st0 it says no such device. First of all it does not detect any scsi of such hardware initially at the time of boot up. But it detected in knoppix 3.6. my debian kernel version is 2.2.20-idepci When I do dmesg it does not show any hardware of scsi but when I do lspci, It shows there. 0000:01:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Advanced System Products, Inc ABP940-U / ABP960-U (rev 03) Can anybody help me how to resolve this problem. Regards, Santosh K

Debian Sarge alsa and sata problems
by Floyd rulz! 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Hey, I installed Debian sarge a while ago but am still facing 2 problems: 1) I have a 160 GB seagate sata hard drive, but during startup it fails to mount it ( I've added lines to /etc/fstab ). But when I manually mount it later after the startup it works fine. I'm guessing the SCSI modules probably load after the automount process ? 2) I have a C-Media chipset PCI soundcard , which won't show up in the volume control ( I also have an onboard intel soundcard ) or aumix or any of the mixers but lsmod does show me that its modules are loaded. Is it a problem with X or with my sound modules ? But then again, when I force-reload the modules using the alsa script ( /etc/init.d/alsa force-reload ) all the modules are loaded back and I have the soundcard mixer settings being shown in the volume control section etc. I currently use the 2.6.9-2.smp kernel which I downloaded from an unstable apt mirror ( iit-bom ) and I suppose the 2.6 kernels come with the alsa modules.I also tried installing the alsa-base and utils packages separately listed out in apt, but the problem still persists. I want to use my PCI soundcard as the default ( which happens after I force-reload ) but doesn't on startup. Could anyone guide me on this ? Sorry for such a lenghty post. Cheers Abhijeet

Sometime Today, AH cobbled together some glyphs to say: > A mechanism for knowing who has made the edit: please put your name > and what you did in the Edit Summary box. It's that simple :). What stops me from using your name? There are many people out there who'd want to change information pretending to be someone else.

Microsoft generally has tie-ups with third party for posting articles. If you see the source you will find that in this case its cineclick.com.br. So error at cineclick.com.br must have reflected on msn.com.br as well. FYI: cineclick server uses: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634a mod_ssl/2.8.18 OpenSSL/0.9.7a Amish.
