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. |

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. [given up] 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 |
26 |
better |
27 |
dmesg | head -n 4 > /dev/lp0 would print something out |
28 |
dmesg | head -n 40 > /dev/lp0 would hang the OS |
29 |
my plan: next step is to text various parameter of parport |
30 |
|
31 |
IV. [solved] USB Printer do not work. dmesg shows it detected |
32 |
USB Printer but no device appear in /dev/usb. Related Kernel |
33 |
Parameter: |
34 |
I. CONFIG_USB_PRINTER: y |
35 |
==> solution is to run this command as root: |
36 |
# mknode /dev/usblp0 c 180 0 |
37 |
and set cups to use /dev/usblp0 for printer |
38 |
|
39 |
V. [almost given up] all ALSA sound driver are enabled, dmesg |
40 |
said Sun CS4231 is detected and use irq 10. Try to play mp3 file |
41 |
using madplay, it hangs there after display song title, no sound |
42 |
output, kill -TERM and kill -KILL cannot remove the dead |
43 |
mplayer. Related kernel config: |
44 |
I. CONFIG_SND: y |
45 |
II. CONFIG_SND_SUN_CS4231: y |
46 |
==> current progress: will try using different kernel following |
47 |
suggestions on the list or try alsa-driver package |
48 |
VI. [no clue yet] serial port doesn't work. I need serial port in |
49 |
order to manage another headless server with this machine acting |
50 |
as dumb terminal (using minicom). |
51 |
dmesg shows no ttyS device. 'MAKEDEV update' can |
52 |
create /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttys1 but accessing these |
53 |
devices is not possible: |
54 |
sappho zhangweiwu # cat /dev/ttyS1 |
55 |
cat: /dev/ttyS1: No such device or address |
56 |
I have enabled following options in kernel: |
57 |
sappho linux # grep -i serial .config |
58 |
# CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD is not set |
59 |
# Non-8250 serial port support |
60 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNCORE=y |
61 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNZILOG=y |
62 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSU=y |
63 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSAB=m |
64 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNHV=y |
65 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y |
66 |
CONFIG_SERIAL_JSM=y |
