Fwd: Re: [Voyage-linux] nodma Kernel Option (still) Not Working
Recent Discussion - Thu, 2010-07-29 06:23
Hello, can someone please confirm the ide=nodma option works for them in the stock voyage 0.6.5 kernel on WRAP boards? I have the following in my /boot/grub/menu.lst: kernel /vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS console=ttyS0,38400n8 ide=nodma This is what I was using for years in Voyage up to 0.5, starting 0.6 (and in 0.6.5 as well) it does not work anymore and the system is still waiting for DMA timeouts. This is my output during boot: ---output omitted--- 0.000000] Allocating PCI resources starting at 10000000 (gap: 8000000:f8000000) [ 0.000000] Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.

nodma Kernel Option (still) Not Working
Recent Discussion - Fri, 2010-07-23 07:31
Hello, I encountered an issue with the nodma kernel option not working with WRAP. It's an issue that apparently some have laready been dealing with as the following threat suggests: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.voyage.general/2811 Apparently the issue is that ide is not compiled into the kernel. There are two options: 1. run the following: remountrw echo 'options ide_core options="ide=nodma"' > /etc/modprobe.d/ide update-initramfs -u remountro to update the init image with the nodma option passed to the module. Although I do not know the reason, this does not work for me with the latest voyage release (0.6.5). The system still waits with those DMA expiry messages and the boot takes quite a long time. 2. Have the kernel recompiled with ide compiled in. Unfortunately the kernels provided under the thread above are no longer available and the ones that are currently under "experimental" directory do not change anything with respcet to the nodma option. Is there any other solution o

In initramfs prompt, please type "cat /proc/partitions". This will show if the kernel could be able to detect your drive or not. If not, please send the "dmesg" and "lspci -v" output to the list. Also please read section 6.4 of README. Try adding "ide=nodma all_generic_ide" to kernel boot parameters to if it could help. Please note that Voyage Linux kernel is trimmed down many modules that some ide drivers are not included.

Recent Discussion - Mon, 2010-07-12 11:48
Hello, how can I disable that voyage sets the time by internet when booting? I searched /etc/.. directory to find ntpdate or similar with grep, but can not find something like that. Where does voyage set the time from an internet timeserver ? ? ? Which init script is it? Or is this done directly by the kernel? It is difficult to find. best regards, Rainer

Recent Discussion - Mon, 2010-07-12 07:13
I've been trying to install voyage on an old neoware thin client, however I keep getting the subject's error message. Previous to this plan I was running a custom CentOS. The message is ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS does not exist. Dropping to a shell! (initramfs) _ Unfortunately the thin client only has usb1.1 so i havent been able to hook a cdrom or flash drive into it to install. Instead I have been using a USB multi reader for a 2GB CF on my laptop to install it both by going through the readme and by installing by booting my laptop into the live cd. I imagine this problem has something to do with the installation thinking the CF is /dev/sdb whereas in the actual thin client it is registering it as sda or something of the like. I have tried editing grub to reflect what i guessed it should be, but to no avail. with the shell that it drops to there is no output for cat /proc/partitions and fdisk -l gives "fdisk: not found." I'm stuck now and was hoping that someone else had an idea. I plan on

Request for updates to MPD package

I only do this once a year... Is it possible to update MPD to latest 0.16~alpha for latest Voyage? Fixes several memory leaks, but most importantly adds support for "audio_format: support packed 24 bit samples" for 24 bit DAC's and reduces load on ALIX MPD Music Server when it doesn't have to pad to 32 bit. And as always, once a year, a nice hefty donation to Voyage Linux today. Sincerely, nick lidakis emt-p

Hi, my problem looks similar to the following but it isn't clear if there is/was a solution: http://list.voyage.hk/pipermail/voyage-linux/2009-September/012094.html I'm using Voyage ONE - version 0.7 build date 20100603 on an Alix 3d3, as a combined FW (Shorewall), 802.11bgn AP (hostapd 0.6.9 with nl80211 - libnl 1.1, configured for wpa + wpa2 with psk), and file server (Samba). External connectivity is via an external 3G USB dongle. Eventually I hope to get the Asterisk stuff set up as well as printer sharing. Everything including the wifi works fine for an undetermined time, minutes or more likely a few hours. Then the radio appears to stop transmitting (disappears from the list of available networks on my Win7, WinXP and cellphone). Wlan0 is bridged to eth0 - since this IS my Net access, I've had to fall back to wired connectivity. I think the behavior was the same before they were bridged but I'm not certain. I get lots of messages in daemon.log that look like normal key exchanges etc. (to me - not e

Of Voyage Linux, single board computers,and PCI slots
Recent Discussion - Fri, 2010-07-02 15:39
I was hoping somebody on the list can offer suggestions or links to hardware... I've been using Voyage, in combination with an Alix (2d2 and 3d2), and MPD (music player daemon), for some time as a very stable USB music server. Recently, I've been wantting to experiment with Voyage and MPD on a single board computer utilizing a high end PCI sound card. Something along the lines of a ESI Juli< at > (http://www.esi-audio.com/products/julia/) or an ASUS Sonar ds (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132013). These are standard PCI cards that also require +12v and -12v at the PCI slot, from what I've researched. Currently, the Alix 1d (as per the designer) does not offer -12v, and the +12v would need to be supplied manually. Anybody have any suggestions for a minimalist, headless single board computer that would support a standard PCI card? I see that Soekris offers the net5501, but the board is a bit complicated (4 ethernet, SATA, etc) for a simple audio appliance. Many of the COTS SBC I have r

hostap with Netgear MA401
Recent Discussion - Mon, 2010-06-28 09:22
This is a prism2 card that always works well with the orinoco_cs driver in normal Lenny and others but I cannot get it recognized in Voyage stable installed with the "laptop" option (#7 I believe). I find that the hostap_pci module is loaded from /etc/modules. I rmmod hostap_pci and modprobe hostap_cs and even changed /etc/modules to reflect that but the card does not come up. Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? I just need it to work in Managed mode w/ dhcp for now.

Hi all, first of all: I'm happy I found Voyage Linux. Before, I've tried imedialinux and I must say they might just delete their website as it is completely abandoned and PCEngines should better not point to that flavor of Linux at all IMHO. It has many bugs and gave me hours of frustration. However, some questions remain - please pardon if they are FAQs for Deban users, but I think they might be interesting for other beginners too. 1. APT sources What other APT repositories than the taiwanese in /etc/apt/sources.list (http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib) can I use when living in Germany? Is it enough to keep the "custom repository" http://www.voyage.hl/dists/0.6 ./" ? Are you sure that stuff does not get mixed up? 2. Missing Packages (adjtimex) on hk.debian.org The current taiwanese repository does not contain "adjtimex" package. Seems the only way to me to tune the very unprecise internal clock speed without ntpdate'ing every hour (which could carry sideeffects) Can I add a second sou
