USB freezes FC4 system
by Sandesh Singh 04 Sep '05

04 Sep '05

I have a Mercury Intel 810 motherboard. That it has a USB controller, I discovered only recently. However, whenever I plug in a USB pen drive when the system is booted up, the system completely freezes. Disconnecting the pen drive doesn't help, and I have to use the reset button. The device works fine if it's connected prior to boot up. However, if I then unmount it, and try to stick it in again, the system still freezes up. I tried recompiling the kernel, but since I dont know much, all I did was simply enable ALL the drivers in the USB section. The problem persists. Could anyone guide me to a solution? Thanks in advance. -- Sandesh Singh <sandesh.lug(a)gmail.com>

Assembly %esp
by Nikhil Marathe 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

While messing around with assembly i printed the value of %esp when nothing is on the stack. It was 80. Does this mean that there are only 80 bytes on the stack. If yes then how does all the cmd line args and stuff fit in it. Or is the stack dynamically adjusted for the size of the program Thanks Nikhil -- ******************************************** * do u want to learn web programming? * * Visit http://pagetutor.superihost.com * ********************************************

Squid problem
by vaibhav samant 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

Hello, I am using squid v 2.5.STABLE8 (recompiled with x-forwarded-for patch) along with dansguardian v 2.8.0.3 on a FC2 box. Iptables dnat rules make sure that all port 80 and port 3128 requests are sent to port 8080. When I configure squid to enable access based on proxy_auth using /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth, I always get access denied... with the following line in the cache.log : 2005/08/25 11:51:06| aclAuthenticated: authentication not applicable on accelerated requests. Funny thing is -- if the client's browser settings are changed to use Proxy server on port 3128 instead of "automatically detect settings", then the browser pops up for username/password and accepts correct passwords to work just fine. But I was wanting to get this done when the browser hits on port 80 and not port 3128. Even when I try without Accel mode, I get access denied from squid, with the only difference being that instead of saying that the denied page was - lets say - "yahoo.com" -- it will say denied page was -- "/" I googled a bit and found that squid ver 3 (still under DEVEL) has an option to rebuild with "--enable-auth-on-accel" which will probably solve this problem. But i dont want to use v3 as it is still under DEVEL. I am now wondering what can be done about this ..... can someone help? Thanx in advance Vai
