Installation of Linux - slackware 8.1
Summary
The hardware: PC Shuttle SS51G
I install the slackware on this barebone PC:
- PC: barebone Shuttle SS51G - for Pentium 4 (or Celeron) 478 pins
- motherboard: Shuttle FS51 (see above) - for Pentium 4 (or Celeron) 478 pins
- processor: P4B 2.4GHz (Northwood, 0.13µ, 1.5V, L2 cache 512KB, FSB 533MHz, MMX, SSE, SSE2)
- RAM: DDR 512 MB - PC 2700
- floppy: nope but free slot
- hardrive 1: IBM 9 GB IDE
- hardrive 2: Maxtor 60 GB IDE
- DVD drive: Pioneer 16X/40X IDE
- sound: SiS7012 / Realtek ALC650 - AC'97, 5.1
- graphic: SiS315 / SiS651 - 32MB RAM shared memory (chipset weak in 3D... think AGP slot)
- USB 1.1/2.0: 6 ports, but 4 connectors "only"
- USB 1.1: SiS7001 - OHCI, 1.5 and 12Mbit/s
- USB 2.0: SiS7002 - EHCI, 480Mbit/s
- Firewire: VIA VT6306 - IEEE1394, 400Mbit/s
- network: Realtek RTL8139 - Fast Ethernet, 100Mbit/s
- parallel: 1 slot, no connector but available apart
- serial: 2 connectors
- SPDIF: 2 ports
- monitor: my good old iiyama MT-9017, bought in ... 1996 ! and still as fresh as Bilbo in his 111th birthday :-)
The chipset:
SiS651 = Northbridge
SiS962L = Southbridge
note: "L" as "Light" maybe, SiS962L does not have the Firewire nor the network controllers
we will see later when Linux is installed:

The software: slackware 8.1
The Linux - slackware,
is one of the oldest Linux distributions,
very much appreciated of Linux guys: rigorous, stability.
It is on 4 CDs :
1 CD install (binaries)
1 CD install (sources)
1 CD extra (binaries)
1 CD extra (sources)
I use the first CD to install.
(and the CD extra for Sun Java JRE 1.4.0, KDEi in French, etc...)
Slackware installation
To install, I boot on the bootable CD
to the boot: prompt, hit [Enter]
it is booting a Linux kernel...
to the slackware login: prompt, enter
root
then [Enter]
1st thing: I select a French keyboard fr-latin1.map
once it is OK, enter 1 [Enter]
then partition of the harddrive:
# fidsk /dev/hda
m (man) : display the comman list
p (print) : see the partition list wanted
d (delete) : delete a partition
n (create) : create a partition
t (type) : change the partition type
l (list) : list of the known partition types
w (write) : write modifications on the harddrive and quit fdisk
q (quit) : quit fdisk
here with a 9GB harddrive, I do 4 partitions:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 319 2562336 - -
/dev/hda2 320 447 1028160 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 448 1021 4610655 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 1022 1232 1694857+ 83 Linux
w [Enter] to validate the modifications and quit fdisk
enter setup [Enter] for the slackware setup
The main menu appears, with its different sections:
| HELP | | Read the Slackware Setup HELP file |
| KEYMAP | | Remap your keyboard if you're not using a US one |
| ADDSWAP | | Set up your swap file |
| TARGET | | Set up your target partitions |
| SOURCE | | Select source media |
| SELECT | | Select categories of software to install |
| INSTALL | | Install selected software |
| CONFIGURE | | Reconfigure your Linux system |
| EXIT | | Exit Slackware Linux Setup |
|
-- ADDSWAP section: < Yes > [Enter]
the setup program is looking for the swap partitions,
and asking for the one I want to be a swap partitions for this installation,

Slackware first configuration
DEL key in Bash
If you want to use the [DEL] key (= touche [SUPPR] in French)
to delete characters when "bashing",
create a ~/.inputrc file (~ is your home directory)
and put these lines inside:
set editing-mode emacs
"\e[3~":delete-char
it is one of the first things I do.
More generally:
# for BASH:
"\e[1~":beginning-of-line # Home
"\e[3~":delete-char # Delete
"\e[4~":end-of-line # End
# for rxvt:
"\e[7~":beginning-of-line # Home
"\e[8~":end-of-line # End
# for xterm:
"\e[H~":beginning-of-line # Home
"\e[F~":end-of-line # End
but you know what ?
it is already configured in Slackware 8.1 :-)
Configure network Realtek RTL8139
in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules uncomment:
/sbin/modprobe 8139too
to load the network card driver at boot.
Configure sound SiS7012 (1st try)
the SiS 7012 chipset is similar to the Intel i810 chipset, so
in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules uncomment:
/sbin/modprobe i810_audio
to load the audio driver at boot.
Configure graphic SiS315 in XFree86 (1st try)
3 ways:
# xf86config
# xf86cfg
# XFree86 -configure
Let's try the first one:

monitor: <enter>
horizontal sync range: 9 = 31.5-79.0 1280x1024 @ 74Hz
vertical sync range: 3 = 50-100

change modes: 9 = 1152x864 16 bits
virtual screen: no
default color depth: 4 = 16 bits (65536 colors)
write /etc/X11/XF86Config? y
test:
$ startx
yes ! it works !
although it is flickering a bit, I will see later to fix that with the new SiS driver
Start Samba (SMB services)
1) find a rc.samba sample
and put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules:
# cp /usr/doc/samba-2.2.4/examples/rc.samba /etc/rc.d/
then start Samba:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start
you can add this line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
2) check in /etc/inetd.conf that the lines concerning SMB and NMB must be commented
3) and a very cool thing: to mount SMB sharings,
in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules uncomment (or run):
/sbin/modprobe smbfs
now you can mount SMB sharings, example:
# mkdir /mnt/r
# mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,password=<password> //jack2/r /mnt/r
Neat isn't it ? :-)

Install harddrive 120GB Maxtor external USB 2.0 / USB 1.1
it is a Maxtor 3000LE, 120GB, USB 2.0,
here I will try to mount it with USB 1.1 (no USB 2.0 drivers for now)
connecting the harddrive on USB0 connector,
then loading USB 1.1 drivers
(unfortunately, no USB 2.0 driver for now on kernel 2.4.18):
# modprobe usbcore
# modprobe usb-ohci
# modprobe usb-storage
# mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb
a few informations about this disk (recognized as a SCSI drive):
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 14593 117218241 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
...
# scsi_info /dev/sda
SCSI_ID="0,0,0"
MODEL="Maxtor 3000LE v01.00.00"
FW_REV="0100"
# hdparm /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
readonly = 0 (off)
geometry = 14946/255/63, sectors = 240119808, start = 0
# fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14946.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 14593 117218241 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
Command (m for help): q
so:
real size = 16065 * 512 * 14946 = 117240MB = 114.492GB unformatted
or
false size = 122.935GB unformatted if we consider 1GB = 10^9 bytes = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes :-)
what is strange is that it came 'FAT32 already formatted' with only 120GB (with 1GB=10^9 bytes)
see:
false size = 16065 * 512 * 14593 = 120.032GB unformatted, with 1GB=10^9 bytes
so very near of the marketing size of 120GB (unformatted) written on the box
(once mounted, it is 111.8GB FAT32 formatted)
anyway, I will format it my way:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 6528 52436128+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 6529 14946 67617585 83 Linux
so:
/dev/sda1 = 16065 * 512 * (6528 - 1 + 1) = 50.007GB unformatted
/dev/sda2 = 16065 * 512 * (14946 - 6529 + 1) = 64.485GB unformatted
then formatting/creating a ext2 file system with blocks size of 4096 bytes (-b 4096),
and the -c which checks for bad blocks (actually it gonna take a while with USB 1.1...) ;
do not forget the -m 1 which reserves 1% for the super-user instead of 5% (default).. what for anyway?

Install TiMidity++ 2.11.3
See, if you do not know how to play Midi files on the Shuttle SS51G, because there is no Midi device,
there is a way, and it is called TiMidity ; it is using the audio output and it is great !
Go to the TiMidity Website and get the last version:
http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/timidity/index.html
Go and get the best collection of patches ever, the EAWpatches:
http://www.stardate.bc.ca/eawpatches/html/default.htm
you can use these other patches for the GUS, aka Gravis UltraSound ;-)
(I did not use these ones)
http://dodo.nurs.or.jp/~iz/guspat/tim-patches.html
compile TiMidity:
# cp TiMidity++-2.11.3.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
# cd /usr/local/src
# tar zxvf TiMidity++-2.11.3.tar.gz
# cd TiMidity++-2.11.3
# ./configure --with-x \
--enable-xaw \
--enable-gtk \
--enable-tcltk \
--enable-ncurses \
--enable-spectrogram \
--enable-network
# make
# make install
install the EAWpatches:
# cp eawpats12_full.tar.gz /usr/local/share/timidity/
# cd /usr/local/share/timidity
# tar zxvf eawpats12_full.tar.gz
after a backup of /usr/local/share/timidity/timidity.cfg, modify it like this:
dir /usr/local/share/timidity/eawpats
source timidity.cfg
so it will load this one that you will create /usr/local/share/timidity/eawpats/timidity.cfg
dir /usr/local/share/timidity/eawpats
source gravis.cfg
source gsdrums.cfg
source gssfx.cfg
source xgmap2.cfg
now you can launch TiMidity in three different ways:
1) with X-Window interface:
$ timidity -ia
2) with GTK interface:
$ timidity -ig
3) with Tcl/Tk interface:
$ timidity -ik
and if you want to specify the config file, just in case it does not find it, you add:
-c /usr/local/share/timidity/timidity.cfg

Last minute:
Install harddrive 120GB Maxtor external USB 2.0
I have problems with the EHCI USB 2.0 driver, still experimental as said in the kernel config.
I can still access my external harddrive Maxtor 120GB USB 2.0
- with usb-ohci (USB 1.1) + usb-storage
- but not with ehci-hcd (USB 2.0) + usb-storage
it is freezing the processes using this ehci-hcd driver, and impossible to kill them.
Will see later how to fix that...
Install harddrive 250GB Maxtor external USB 2.0 and Firewire IEEE1394
it is a Maxtor 5000XT, 250GB, USB 2.0 + Firewire,
here I will try to mount it with Firewire to test how it compares to USB 2.0
a lot of useful informations are available on:
www.linux1394.org
let's connect the harddrive on a Firewire port and load IEEE1394 drivers:
# modprobe ieee1394
# modprobe ohci1394
# modprobe sbp2
a few informations about this disk (recognized as a SCSI drive):
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 30515 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 30515 245111706 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
# scsi_info /dev/sda
SCSI_ID="0,0,0"
MODEL="Maxtor 5000XT"
FW_REV="0100"
# hdparm /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
readonly = 0 (off)
geometry = 30515/255/63, sectors = 490232832, start = 0
# fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30515.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 30515 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 30515 245111706 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
Command (m for help): q
so:
real size = 16065 * 512 * 30515 = 239367MB = 233.757GB unformatted
or
false size = 250.994GB unformatted if we consider 1GB = 10^9 bytes = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes :-)
it comes 'FAT32 already formatted' with the whole disk of 'false' 250GB (with 1GB=10^9 bytes)
so this is the 'marketing size' of 250GB (unformatted) written on the box
(once first mounted, it is 233.7GB FAT32 formatted)
anyway, I will format it my way:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 30515 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 6528 52436128+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 6529 14946 67617585 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 14947 29892 120053745 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 29893 30515 5004247+ 83 Linux
so:
/dev/sda1 = 16065 * 512 * (6528 - 1 + 1) = 50.007GB unformatted
/dev/sda2 = 16065 * 512 * (14946 - 6529 + 1) = 64.485GB unformatted
/dev/sda3 = 16065 * 512 * (29892 - 14947 + 1) = 114.492GB unformatted
/dev/sda4 = 16065 * 512 * (30515 - 29893 + 1) = 4.772GB unformatted

......... (not finished yet)
I have read on www.linux1394.org
that ieee1394 and ohci1394 modules
have to be compiled in the kernel and not as modules
but sbp2 should stay as a module.
hummm, I think maybe the kernel hangs I had with USB 2.0
were caused by the fact that usbcore, ohci/ehci
were not compiled in the kernel but as modules.
I will see later if putting them inside the kernel,
and leaving usb-storage as a module,
improve things...
