Dear all, Based on hint from Dinesh Joshi, I found following solution. Thanks to Dinesh & all. I inserted "saa7134 card=3" line in /etc/modules file & that worked.

I can't login through KDM - the login screen re-appears. GDM works fine. I can use KDE from GDM. I can also jump to console from the KDM login window and login from there - its only KDM thats the problem. Any idea as to what config detail I missed? -- Rohit V.

U will also require to maintain the packages in the right order if you wanna use a cd install. So you will have to get the packages.gz file for each cd and copy only those packages from the dvd to a partition, then use dpkg - scan package to create the new packages.gz file, then burn the lot to cd. Quite a pain. I dont know of a simple method. Of course a perl or bash script could automate the whole process. But i find dvd to be better by far. rgds jtd

Query-Howto pass kernel module option for TV-tuner during boot
by Nilesh Raykar 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

Dear all, I am using Philips chip based PCITV-card(Mercury make) using "saa7134" module (which is compiled in kernel). By default the module loads with card=0(generic/unknown) option which doesn't work. When I reload the module manually using modprobe with option card=3, my card works fine using xawtv. My question is howto pass card=3 option to "saa7134" during start-up. I find no entries for "saa7134" in any of /etc/modules, /etc/modprobe.d/*,etc/rc*.d My system configuration is as follows- AMD Athlon XP 1800+/128MB/80GB Debian-Sarge KDE3.3 Can anyone help me?

Gragon BSD 1.2.0 Released
by Gaurav Mishra 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

1.2.0 is our second major DragonFly release and the first one which we have created a separate CVS branch for. DragonFly's policy is to only commit bug fixes to release branches. This release represents a significant milestone in our efforts to improve the kernel infrastructure. DragonFly is still running under the Big Giant Lock, but this will probably be the last release where that is the case. This will be last release that uses GCC 2.95.x as the default compiler. Both GCC 3.4.x and GCC 2.95.x are supported in this release through the use of the CCVER environment variable ('gcc2' or 'gcc34'). GCC 2.95.x is to be retired soon due to its lack of TLS support. The current development branch will soon start depending heavily on TLS support and __thread both within the kernel and in libc and other libraries. This release fully supports TLS segments for programs compiled with gcc-3.4.x. It goes without saying that this release is far more stable then our 1.0A release. A huge number of bug fixes, performance improvements, and design changes have been made since the 1.0A release. TCP SACK in, tested, and on by default. TCP Performance tuning (header prediction now works properly, ACK aggregation when operating at GiGE speeds, fewer pure window update packets). Major network protocol stack threading and other infrastructure work. ALTQ and PF (Packet Filter). TLS (Thread Local Storage) support. DCONS support (console over firewire). IPv6 improvements. Namecache infrastructure rewritten. Improved checkpointing support. NFSv3 greatly improved. Kernel callout_*() infrastructure revamped. A lot of USB fixes. VESA console and X support. A large number of general maintainance items, such as driver updates, bug fixes, and so forth. Upgraded installer includes an option to turn it into a standalone netboot server for mass installs, bug fixes, and other new features. The RELEASE is now branched in the cvs repository.
