Looks like there is an alternative called Pbatt that may be worth trying out?

All you really need is the kernel with TIMER_STATS on -- that will give you the interrupt info. I think a stock kernel in Debian and such should be ok with it. I don't use a cpu module, so I don't see P-state info, either. I'll have to download a big distro! :) Hmm... it actually looks more messy t...

Hi Dougal, I just had a bit of a look-see at the source code for asapm, looks quite straight forward C code. "safecopy" is in the safecopy.c and looks like simply a memory copy. The X11 interface looks normal considering its quite a small and simple application. Unfortunately I don't have ...

I had issues with a digital camera that I had briefly, it had an SD card. It turns out that SD aka "Secure Digital" has a whole bunch of security features that can sometime be implimented, some SD are more friendly than others, I remember that one of the "features" involves only ...

Hi battleshooter, Some neat things you can do with linux, is copy an entire hard disks information (partions, file systems, mbr) into a single file in another harddisk filesystem as a form of a backup/snapshot. Use the cp command, e.g. "cp /dev/hda /root/backup.hda.bin" the catches are tha...

Hi edoc, The basic answer to your question is : puppyserialdetect -u | grep SERIAL puppyserialdetect is a bit slower than the latest puppyinputdetectFULL, and (puppyserialdetect) may be hazardous to some systems, i.e there are outstanding reports that it freezes some systems on boot, probably by not...

BTW are you the jesse credited for elspci in rc.modules ? Barry has included this usb support code also in initrd.gz such that Puppy perfectly boots off my usb devices :-) Yeah I wrote that ages ago, a fun little util. The original lspci didn't (easilly) print out the subclass field, which is how t...

I don't know about the zcat insmod method, could you clarify? Heres the exact lines that I was referring to: zcat /lib/modules/${KERNVER}/pcmcia/rsrc_nonstatic.ko.gz | insmod - zcat /lib/modules/${KERNVER}/pcmcia/yenta_socket.ko.gz | insmod - I think these are used as the modprobe call may not know...

I'm using a batch file with a script provided by Crash to boot Puppy 3.01 Retro from DOS: LINLD.COM image=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz "cl=root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd acpi=on" Ok, looks like the kernel boot commands are in that quoted string, add in pfix like so: LINLD.COM image=vmlinuz initr...

Jesse, while I appreciate your effort, I'm very much afraid this information requires more than my very limited understanding of Linux to apply. I would note, however, that the Puppy 3.01 Retro, which generated my probe results, runs with Linux Kernel 2.6.18, whereras the modules you cite above are...

Hi otropogo, Here mut2 shows your pcmcia port(s), each has an entry on the PCI bus. 00:13.1 060700 1180:0476 BRIDGE.CARDBUS <yenta_cardbus> (yenta_socket) 00:13.0 060700 1180:0476 BRIDGE.CARDBUS <yenta_cardbus> (yenta_socket) The driver name in the angle brackets <yenta_cardbus> is the name of the d...

It looks like I need to fix pmount. Um, my memory of this right now is not very clear, but I don't think my probedisk and probepart return floppy drive info -- hmm, need to rethink that. So, it is done in pmount. But, I need to fix pmount to recognise that mut has returned floppy info. I've made a ...

OK. So, should I just create the folder "mut" in /usr/bin/ and extract the archive into that folder, then run the command? Personally I'd just use /temp and see if mut can be of use so that you will then see if you want to keep it around in a permanent directory. If there is something alr...

...sounds like its the older 0.1.1 version of mut that you have. Here is the download link for version 2. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=32028 ... Jesse Thanks. I've downloaded it, but how do I install it? It is a program that breaks a few Linux notions, it doesn't really install ...

... From your fully working setup you can use the steps below to figure out what drivers are needed. This mut2 command (below) will get mut to tell you what is on the PCI bus, and what drivers are loaded there, here you should see your PCMCIA device (probably not the plug in cards themselves). It'l...

BTW - although Puppy loaded into memory from the pcmcia_scsi CDROM, neither Pmount nor MUT show the drive. I forgot to try this when I had the 3.01 Retro LiveCD mounted, but I know it would be the same, since it was only after Tempestuous found the aha152x_cs driver for the kernel that I was able t...

It is showing two floppy drives , where in fact I have only one. Hi Sit Heel Speak, Gosh yes you're right. One of them is coming from Pmount, the other is from Mut. I'm having a look at the PMount script and it seems that isn't coded for, but I'm a bit confused over how to fix it (I need more bash ...

Hello, Here is another update. There was an annoying bug lurking in there and I have remedied the situation. The bug - possibly not reporting drive info on first execution. The remedy: rather complex. but simply put, a combination of, always waiting for the hardware to be scanned, if the kernel/hard...

I've had a kernel lockup with the 4.1alpha6, the 2.6.25.14 kernel. It doesn't seem to happen if I am only running one application, like web browser, I surfed the net for about 4 hours without problem. But I can make it crash within a few minutes if I do the following concurrently: copy a hd partiion...
