I've been using Sarge for a several months now with no problem , other
than drooling over new software. So, as this is my desktop computer and
not a server -my server runs a Slackware 10, and is running very fine,
although I hope to find time to convert it to Debian 4.0 when it is
Stable-, so as this is just a desktop computer.. I decided an upgrade is
due.. so changed the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list from stable to
testing and did a dist-upgrade.

I had many things not upgraded as I had used few packages from backport,
so I did a manual apt-get install for each of them.. until apt-get
upgrade showed that the whole system is up-to-date.

But as updating a system is an ongoing process, I kept doing apt-get
update ; apt-get upgrade every couple of days, and it worked fine.

Until one day, I noticed that the system is very very slow. I checked
and noticed that the DMA for the harddisk is turned off and when trying
to turn it on the system stuck. I also noticed that during the boot
process the kernel gives many strange errors related to the harddisk.

So I rebooted the system using the kernel left from Sarge and the errors
didn't show up and DMA was k and the performance was OK, although xorg
didn't work.

What is wrong? and how to rectify this?


Thanks to all in advance..

attached:

* dmesg from kernel 2.6.17-2-686 from Etch

* dmesg from kernel 2.6.8 from Sarge

* hdparm -i from Etch Kernel

One of the big differences between sarge and etch is the use of udev now
rather than hotplug to discover your hardware. I just did a fresh install of
etch and hotplug wasn't installed at all, just udev.

I don't know if that's what causing the trouble but it might be worth looking
into. If you have the free space somewhere you could try a basic etch install
from scratch and see how that works.

Same here, although on a laptop.

Not up to date yet.

I thought my hard disk was due to cark it, now I am not so sure.

At the moment xorg is running toooooo slow. It is ok if just 'X' is
running but soon as I run an xterm, by just having "exec xterm" in my
..xsession then running startx, and then type top for example, everything
slows to a crawl. I am investigating. I will hunt out a 2.6.8 kernel
deb.

> What is wrong? and how to rectify this?

I wish I could . Can you try a 2.6.18 kernel? What errors does xorg
complain about on a 2.6.8 kernel?

If you could get xorg running on a 2.6.8 (or whatever kernel doesn't
give the dma errors) would you be happy?

You could start another thread about the xorg problem.

Thanks for posting this -- there *maybe* some life left in this laptop
after all.
