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. |
| 6 |
|
| 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. [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 |
