Debian Configuration :: Adaptec AAR 2410sa - How To Update Driver

Jun 11, 2010

I have the latest version of Debian installed on a Poweredge 1600SC. Everything is working ok, but the Adaptec AAR 2410sa PCI SATA card has started being a bit weird. I have a 1TB drive connected to it and noticed that occasionally it was unmounting the drive and messages appeared in the /var/log/messages like the following:

Jun 10 23:50:57 servertron kernel: [11246.006500] sd 1:0:2:0: [sdd] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK
Jun 10 23:50:57 servertron kernel: [11246.006500] sd 1:0:2:0: [sdd] Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]
Jun 10 23:50:57 servertron kernel: [11246.006500] sd 1:0:2:0: [sdd] Add. Sense: Internal target failure

After a reboot everything would be fine. I did some research and heard that it could be the drive failing, so after running a disk check etc I connected up a new 1TB drive (was getting low anyway) to another SATA interface on the card and started trying to copy from one drive to another. Lo and behold, it happened on the new drive as well. Bugger.

I haven't had time to open it up and check the connections and will be doing this shortly, but thought I would check to see if it was using the best/newest driver, but am a bit stuck as to where to start. I've looked through some docs and help but can't really see how to update and check hardware drivers in debian.

lspci shows the following:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge (rev 01)
00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge
00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)

[code]....

Is there a newer version of accraid I can use? Even if there isn't, how would I go about identifying which driver the card is using and installing an update?

Fedora Installation :: Installing 10 Adaptec 2410SA Sata Raid?

Apr 19, 2009

Am installing Fedora 10 on an old but good server that used to be a windows box. It has 2 sata disk raid level 1 on adaptec 2410SA card. Disks are clean no info even did a low level format and recreated RAID.. twice DVD boots and installs os on raid array and reports success. new volume appears under computer icon but cannot be mounted after reboot attempt reports Reading physical volumes. This may take a while... (it doesn't)

Volume group "VolGroup00" not found
Unable to acces resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /ysroot as ext3: No such file or directory
input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4

and then a blinking cursor with keyboard echo but its just copying reboot with install DVD does not show previous (unmountable) disk image and repeat of above process increases operator need for alcohol have "disable write cache for drives" as I found that is a post but after fedora install.I do not know what grub is for instance but once linux is booted (on other computers) I can muddle through ok in terminal mode.

Debian Configuration :: Nouveau-driver Broken After Update

Jan 4, 2016

Yesterday I installed some updates on my Jessie system (I don't remember if the kernel was also updated). After rebooting the system nothing happens after the "Loading intial ramdisk"-message. If I boot in recovery mode the boot stops at the message:

Code: Select allfb: switching to nouveaufb from simple

If I add "nouveau.modeset=0" temporary to the GRUB-entry for the recovery mode, it will boot up in the console-mode.

I was able to get an ethernet connection with "dhclient eth0" and removed the "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" package. Then I installed it and the removed gnome-desktop again. Before removing it, aptitude said the following to the package:

Code: Select alli A xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Now it only says:

Code: Select alli   xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

But this didn't change my problem. I found a similar case in the internet, but there were no solutions for it: [URL] ....

The next thing I would do, is to install the proprietary nvidia-drivers, but since I have a GTX 960 video card, I would have to use experimental drivers. So I'm afraid to make it more worse trying to install this drivers.

Also I'm not sure if it really is a driver-specific of kernel-specific problem. My kernel is version 3.16.0-4-amd64.

Ubuntu Servers :: Update The Drive For Adaptec Raid Controller?

Sep 4, 2010

I was trying to update the drive for my adaptec raid controller. Unfortunately, Adaptec only provides RPM packages. So I converted the package using alien. After dpkg install, I then tried using dkms to build the module:

Code:
root@atulsatom# dkms add -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.26400
Adding driver was successful, but I got some error during the build
Code:
root@atulsatom# dkms build -m aacraid -v 1.1.5.26400
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping.

Debian Installation :: Lenny - +Adaptec 3405 - Installs Ok But Doesn't Start

Feb 22, 2010

I'm installing a file server on Lenny (Samba on RAID5, nothing exotic)

First, I installed on a basic SATA drive, to check everything else in the system was recognized correctly. Success.

Then, I added my 3405 Adaptec board, with a 3 drive RAID5, and reinstalled, still on the lone SATA disk.

Install runs ok, shows correctly the 3405 board, detects the logical drive alongside with the SATA drive. Smooth. I install Lenny on the SATA drive, planning to use the RAID5 for later partitioning and data storage. During install, the SATA disk is shown as SCSI-1 and the RAID5 disk as SCSI-2. Again, install completes correctly.

But on reboot and after selecting the default config, the system complains it can't find /dev/sda1!

If I remove the 3405 board, Lenny boots fine.

Is the presence of the Adaptec board and RAID5 drive changing the numbering of the disks, so that the SATA disk is no longer seen as /dev/sda1 ?

Debian Configuration :: ATI Driver For Squeeze

Feb 15, 2010

Just installed squeeze on a new laptop(had been runny Lenny on my older one with no issues, but no sound or wireless on the new one).I decided to install the ATI drive for my Radeon Mobility 4500(or some close revision) because the fan is constantly running and based on some other postings, it seems that it could be the graphics card causing it.Downloaded the driver from ATI's site and it seemed to install fine but when starting X.

Debian Configuration :: How To Load Driver Automatically

Sep 21, 2015

I have PCI-device and driver for it - tmk1553b.ko

The problem is to make this device work i have to open terminal after system starts and write

Code: Select allcd /path/to/driver
sudo insmod ./tmk1553b.ko d0=1 t0="TAI" misc=1

But idea is that this PC will work without operator so driver must be loaded automatically. As i realized the solution is to make script but when i try google it shows me how and where to put this script but not how to make it. Also i've tried to put tmk1553b.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/misc but it doesn't work.

Debian 6.0.10 (squeeze)
Kernel 2.6.32-5-686

Debian Configuration :: No Sound With Nvidia Driver?

Jun 7, 2010

I recently installed Squeeze. I had sound with the video driver that came with the install. Then I installed the Nvidia driver from Nvidia website. The sound dissappeared. When I uninstalled the Nvidia driver and removed xorg.conf and rebooted again, the sound came back. Then I installed the Nvidia driver from (nvidia-glx, dev and settings) from Debian with Synaptic. The sound went away again. If I uninstall the nvidia driver and xorg.conf the sound will probably come back again. The sound driver is the one that came with the install.

The volumes are unmuted in the alsamixer. Somehow alsaconf command does not work.

My mother board is a ASUS M4N78 Pro with Nvidia IGP.

What can I do to have sound with the nvidia driver?

Debian Configuration :: How To Install Another Ethernet Driver

Jun 21, 2011

I've got a Dell Optiplex Desktop here, the CPU is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz. The integrated ethernet here is from intel also, it's a 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection. This computer is running a Debian Squeeze 64bits, distrib sid, kernel 2.6.39-2-amd64.Well, here goes the story. I had a lot of trouble with the ethernet card, being very slow, and it just didn't work when i was using tftp. So I downloaded and compiled the latest driver available on Intel website. Currently with debian sid, the version for the driver ( e1000e ) is version: 1.3.10-k2. From Intel I got the version 1.3.17-NAPI.Alright, so I build it, and move the module manually to the right place, replacing the previous version at the same time ie :

$ sudo cp e1000e.ko /lib/modules/2.6.39-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko

However, there is is still something bothering me. When I want to check, after rebooting, that I did it right, here is what happens :

$ sudo ethtool -i eth1
driver: e1000e
version: 1.3.10-k2

[code]...

So, which one should I trust ? Is there something I didn't do properly when installing the module ? Or maybe I just don't understand ethtool and modinfo enough.

Debian Configuration :: Wrong Graphic Driver After Upgrade

Oct 6, 2015

Today I fresh installed the latest stable version of debian (jessie) with gnome from the USB DVD image for a 64bit machine. Everything got fine except the graphic driver, I think.

Now Gnome 3 is running but graphic is super slow. My previous debian/gnome 3 ran much better and I think there is a problem with the graphic driver.

I'm on an thinkpad t61.

Processor: Intel Core2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz × 2
Ram: 4GB
Graphic: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)

Now the graphic is: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits) which is likely wrong. If I'm not mistaken llvmpipe is pure slow software acceleration.

Moreover this was different on my previous debian (wheezy), which was faster. Anyway I don't know what " Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits) " is and it was for sure different in wheezy.

According to apt-get I have the latest intel graphic divers installed. So maybe this an X-org confic problem?

Debian Configuration :: Put Together The Driver With The Linksys WUSB100 V2 Using Ndiswrapper?

Here is what i get from ndiswrapper -l: rt2870: driver installed device (1737:0078) present (alternate driver: rt2870sta)But, the catch is where it maps to: ra0 instead of wlan0. This has caused me problems in order to get it to connect through network-manager or in the terminal.

Debian Configuration :: Install The Driver For Mi Wireless Card?

Apr 22, 2010

I'm trying to install the driver for mi wireless card. The instructions say that to build the tar.gz file, I have to:

# mkdir hybrid_wl
# cd hybrid_wl
# tar <path>/hybrid-portsrc.tarhybrid-portsrc-x86_64.tar.gz

The third step i don't understand. I want the folder of the driver to be located in a folder inside home called "Programas" so what I did was to open the terminal, went su, and then did cd Programas. Then I followed instructions 1 and 2, but I don't know what to put where it says <path>.

Debian Configuration :: Building (Wireless Adapter) Driver From Source

Debian Configuration :: Kernel Driver Support: Built-in Or Loadable?

Jun 26, 2010

Is there a way to programmatically determine whether a particular driver support is built-in rather than a loadable module? I'd be grateful if somebody would share how. I have written a shell script using the RTC (real time clock). I can check whether the rtc-cmos kernel module exists and load the module accordingly as needed, but I don't know how to determine when the driver is built-in. Of course, if the driver is built-in then the module does not exist.

I seem to recall there is a method to query the kernel config file (/proc/config.gz), through which I probably could grep for the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS parameter. I also can check whether /proc/driver/rtc exists. If that file exists then either the driver is built-in or the module was loaded.I realize the rtc-cmos driver is built-in with the standard Debian kernel build, but I still would like a way to query where the driver is supported.Is there a straightforward or direct method to query the kernel whether a particular driver is built-in?

Debian Configuration :: Identify And Disable A Printer Driver / Module?

Mar 2, 2011

I have a printer connected locally to my Debian box. It runs fine via cupsd.I am also running a Windows 2003 VMware guest which I would like to use the printer (use as a local printer, not a network printer).

VMware offers a connection via USB, so it should work. The printer I have plugged locally into the Debian host is recognised by the Windows 2003 guest, but it won't print. I get an error message saying that the printer is still connected to the host OS, and that I need to remove (or presumably disable) the host driver before the guest can use the printer.

So how can I find out which printer driver/module is being used by the Debian host to connect to this printer? And what is the best way to temporarily disable it, while my VMware guest is running?

I know I can't install new stuff with older libraries, but can I install the old stuff with newer libraries? I am at the end of my rope here! I mean ATI sucks and we all know this, but I've always found a Linux/open-source alternative that worked, until Squeeze.

I did not have a xorg.conf file so I created one with the setting suggested on the Debian wiki.

Debian Configuration :: Install Wireless Driver Not Included With Kernel?

I know it's not our home network because my desktop flies (running Windows).Currently, I have the driver from this guide installed. I went to Realtek's site to download the latest driver for this wireless card (RTL8188CE, the Linux/UNIX version) thinking maybe this more up-to-date driver would operate better than the one used in the guide above.Is there a possible way to install this driver, or should I just stick with the current driver I'm using from the guide above?

Debian Configuration :: NVidia Driver Fails With Built Kernel?

Jul 30, 2011

I've posted here before (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=66322) about problems arising from my attempts to get an nVidia driver to work with my custom kernel. Now those problems are all fixed, and I'm back to where I was: the built kernel boots fine, but the nVidia driver fails.

The custom kernel is as near to the stock one as I can make it, I'm just trying to find a working build process at present, before trying to build a later-version kernel.

I used sgfxi with "-! 40" to build the nVidia driver for my custom kernel; it reported that everything was fine.

With stock kernel - 2.6.32-5-amd64 ...
