I know such message may be a bit noise to gurus on this list, but as a |
| 2 |
newbie I constantly find searching other people's old post might help, |
| 3 |
so I just write done solution to all problems I have solved, hoping it |
| 4 |
can help the next newbie lurking on this list or coming to this list by |
| 5 |
googling around. |

| 7 |
I. [solved] keyboard doesn't work: solved, need to adjust keymap |
| 8 |
(thank you for suggested this); |
| 9 |
II. [solved] not able to access /dev/hda, probably new kernel |
| 10 |
does not recognise on-board IDE controller. Related kernel |
| 11 |
parameter I configured are: |
| 12 |
I. CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION: y |
| 13 |
II. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE: y |
| 14 |
==> solution is to activate CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X kernel option |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
III. [working on it] parallel port stopped working, it behave |
| 17 |
like /dev/null (swallow all input to it, no error message, |
| 18 |
printer no response). /dev/lp0 is not mentioned in dmesg. I |
| 19 |
remember on 2.4 kernel I use "PC-style Parallel Port" and it |
| 20 |
works in ECP mode. Related kernel parameter I configured are: |
| 21 |
I. CONFIG_PARPORT: y |
| 22 |
II. CONFIG_PARPORT_PC: y |
| 23 |
III. CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO: y |
| 24 |
IV. CONFIG_PARPORT_1284: y |
| 25 |
==> progress: after re-creating /dev/lp0 node it works a bit better |
| 26 |
dmesg | head -n 4 > /dev/lp0 would print something out |
| 27 |
dmesg | head -n 40 > /dev/lp0 would hang the OS |
| 28 |
my plan: next step is to text various parameter of parport |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
IV. [solved] USB Printer do not work. dmesg shows it detected |
| 31 |
USB Printer but no device appear in /dev/usb. Related Kernel |
| 32 |
Parameter: |
| 33 |
I. CONFIG_USB_PRINTER: y |
| 34 |
==> solution is to run this command as root: |
| 35 |
# mknode /dev/usblp0 c 180 0 |
| 36 |
and set cups to use /dev/usblp0 for printer |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
V. [working on it] all ALSA sound driver are enabled, dmesg |
| 39 |
said Sun CS4231 is detected and use irq 10. Try to play mp3 file |
| 40 |
using madplay, it hangs there after display song title, no sound |
| 41 |
output, kill -TERM and kill -KILL cannot remove the dead |
| 42 |
mplayer. Related kernel config: |
| 43 |
I. CONFIG_SND: y |
| 44 |
II. CONFIG_SND_SUN_CS4231: y |
