Usually it is called by things like a bitstuffing violation, a missing token, etc. I cannot speculate what causes it, but every component has to be excluded by replacement. We can exclude readers now, so it leaves motherboard chips and traces, cables, possibly a hub, and most especially any power supplies involved. Sometimes it happens when people connect external VGA to a laptop, go figure! (I am not saying this is your problem, obviously). I know who I am dealing with, Jamie, but for the list archives: DO NOT exclude two articles at a time. If you replace the laptop, leave all cabling, hubs, and the reader, in place. To be frank, it is possible for the software to report -71 for a bad reason, when it is confused. Once we excluded everything else, with the computer itself, it's time to look at UHCI root hub handling. We'll take it from there. > "Eratically" means that generally they would work immediately after > I rebooted the machine, and I could plug/unplug them right after > that, and they'd continue working; but if I tried to use them again > a few hours later, the only way to make them work would be to reboot > again.

This is very interesting, but I don't think I can act upon this section of your report, especially that it appears to relate a past experience. Let's concentrate on -71s. BTW, I should note that it is possible to use a passive PCMCIA-CF adapter. I have one of those as well, and it works great. The only reason I used SDDR-31 is that my only PC Card slot was often used by a wireless card. Eventually I got used to it. Also, in older distros and kernels it was required to stop and start pcmcia services when you plug the thing, and USB always was 100% hotplug, at least in theory. -- Pete

Just dial "1902424500500" from your BSNL, MTNL phones ifyou are in INDIA
by Kaustubh Ghosh 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

`Dear Sirs/Madams/Friends, Hope many of you are already in the pipeline of contribution for the Tsunami Victims. This notification is for those who have missed the column in the daily newspaper mentioning that the BSNL, MTNL have opened up new service by which you can contribute at least Re.1 (INR) by just dialing *1902424500500*. You will also get thanks for your contribution. It's my request to you all those in India to dial this number and ask your fellow relatives or neighbors to dial the no. Imagine India being a country with such a large population contributing Re.1 by every single individual by just dialing a number would definitely raise a considerable amount. *Kindly pass on this mail to every single individual staying in India* With regards, Kaustubh Ghosh Kolkata

festival 1.95 anyone?
by Matthew Miller 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I don't know anything about the science behind this, but text-to-speech is, y'know, cool. Festival 2.0 was supposed to be out a few months ago, but it seems to be late. In the meantime, 1.9.5 is out there, and has a few nice things -- particularly, the CMU_ARCTIC voices sound really good. Is anyone working on updating this? If not, I'll look, although it's way outside of areas where I know what I'm doing. :) -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

rpm --import
by Florin Andrei 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

One thing that i noticed the newbies get confused with is the "rpm -- import (blah)GPG-KEY" trick that has to be done after installing a new system. Please put that info in a more prominent place in the Release Notes or something. Or let yum spew it out if needed. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Fedora Extras, Fedora Core CVS Open!

Want to be REAL sure you notice this: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/departments/fedora_status/ That's Right CVS is open - you need to run, don't walk, to: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com It's all exciting - except for the boring parts. Tomorrow morning we will have another exciting item for you but I'm busy typing things and colin is on an airplane and all the other slackers are sleeping or some such nonsense as that so you'll have to wait until the morning. Deal. It's a bright, shiny, new day. But the fog isn't quite lifted yet. -sv

mkinitrd troubles -- needs "sync"?
by Matthew Miller 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I am fairly frequently running into a problem where mkinitrd generates empty images. (They're about 12k, with no contents.) I can find no rhyme or reason to when this fails, and if you give -v, everything _looks_ to be fine -- but sometimes it isn't. And it's not just mkinitrd -- I experienced the same thing the other day trying to rebuild anaconda on FC3 -- that initrd was ending up empty (even though its tree seemed to be created fine, and the log of the build _says_ everything is copied in -- when the actual file is made, it's empty. But sometimes it works just fine. Rebooting seems to usually make it work for a while too, but that may be a red herring. I'm seeing this _a lot_, yet I can't really find it in bugzilla. Am I going crazy, here? Out of superstition, I'm going to add a "sync; sleep 3" before the umount in the mkinitrd script... that shouldn't be necessary, should it? ... time passes .... HEY! It seems to work fine _every time_ so far once I've done that!!! Anyone care to comment? -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

Compiling code that uses kernel headers
by Stephen John Smoogen 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I am working with the libpcap + ringbuffer and trying to get it moved from Debian to Red Hat. The Debian/Slackware code depends upon /usr/include/linux/system.h which has the kernel version of asm.h linked to if for the platform. For i386 this is asm-i386.h which has the macro mb(); that the pcap ringbuffer code relies on to make sure some obscure race conditions are taken of. [I do not know what the race condition is beyond it talking to the kernel half of the ringbuffer.] Anyway it compiles well on the other Linux versions we have because it can find the call to mb() without problems. On Fecore Core 3 (and most likely RHEL4) it does not work at all because of kernel system.h now in /lib/modules/.... What is the best way of dealing with items like this? -- Stephen J Smoogen.
