Subject: PCI Modem Problems
Date: 29 Aug 1999 22:18:37 -0500
Ok, I have a Lucent PCI modem 56K v.90 and I know it may not work, but keep hearing
that some of them do.
(Yes, I have seen http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html and it didnt help me,
sorry).
Here is the situation:
In Windoze the modem works at COM3 with IRQ 5.
Just before LILO I find that PCI resources are listed and I see
"BUS 0 DEVICE 17 SIMPLE COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER, VENDOR 11C1, DEVICE ID 0440 IRQ 5."
Then I login into root (under RH 5.2). I look into dmesg and see

I started xwindows, used modemtool and pointed /dev/modem to COM3.
Then setserial /dev/cua2 uart 16550A port 3e8 irq 5. (I also tried ttyS2 and
the result was the same).
Started netcfg and setup correct ip numbers etc. Now "activate" command
does not lift and dial. Nothing happens.
Then I went into /var/log/messages and saw that the error was in 'chat'.
Simply 'alarm' 'failed' and 'exit'. Basically there is no dialog between
the system and the modem.
I tried isapnp and the isapnp.conf file contains only lines with
#trying some address
#no boards
I dont think I have any Plug-N-Pray devices (also saw the Bios setup and noticed
PnP disabled there).
Any suggestions? Would help if you give a step by step instruction on
how to set the modem up. Pl avoid the default answer "go get another modem"!

Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 03:31:05 GMT
Hi there:
I installed Linux (Suse 6.2, love it!), X server, and can use several
different windows managers: Enlightment, KDE, etc. with no problem.
I really love it, but there is still something that I don't know how or
where to get: more fonts. You see, Netscape now only has like 10 or 15
fonts, and all the web pages look pretty much the same (not too good), and
sometimes, like right now, the letters looks really tiny. Is there
something that can be done? Is that dependent on the X server installed? or
the hardware?
Thanks for any help before hand,

I give up. Were I there, I'm sure I could get it to work.
I have with similar configurations before. My only suggestion
is that you read carefully all the documentation including
the Lilo User's Guide and figure it out yourself. You may
have to understand at the most basic level exactly how the
boot process works in order to see what is going wrong.
Here is a quote from the User's Guide explaining the LI
The first stage boot loader was able to laod the second
stage boot loader but failed to execute it. This can either
be caused by a geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b
without running the map installer.

Try studying the Lilo User's Guide. Look at the error messages
to see what LI and hanging means.

Hmm... if you run your system in Runlevel 3 (console
command-prompt)... the kernal version should normally appear before the
login prompt. If you run in Runlevel 5 (X-Win)... you can always open a
terminal window, telnet to localhost, and achieve the same result.

Subject: CD-RW Install Problems - Please help
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 21:22:05 -0700
I'm trying to install a Philips CD-RW model PCA 460RW.
It's an E-IDE-ATAPI drive. I've attempted a read of the Cd-writing
how-to and was left somewhat confused.
I'm running the 2.0.36 kernel on a red hat 5.2 system.
I don't use lilo to boot...I hit f8 when booting the machine
and start linux from the command line of a dos prompt.
I don't think I need to upgrade my kernel...I just need to tell
linux that I want to enable the SCSI emulation for the cdrw drive.
When I try and start X-CD-Roast Version 0.96e it says:
No Generic -SCSI-Support has been detected. Without it,
not SCSI-Devices can be detected or used by X-CD-Roast.
Please load the sg-module (e.g. "insmod sg") or recompile
your kernel with Generic SCSI support.
But when I type: insmod sg
at the command line it says:
(root@blah: /sbin) ./insmod sg
/lib/modules/preferred/scsi/sg.o: a module named sg already exists
I have the cd-rw drive as the master on the secondary IDE
and I've included the lines:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
label=Linux
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
in my /etc/lilo.conf file but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Jason

Usually mutt is built against slang, rather than ncurses. If that's the
case, you may have to set the COLORTERM environment variable. (I usually
set it to $TERM; I'm not sure whether the exact value matters.)

I'd say some safe settings are:
Mount point size growable type
/ 200M unchecked linux native
/home 200M unchecked linux native
/usr 700M unchecked linux native
/swap 100M unchecked linux swap
This is providing you'll be the only user. The more users, the bigger
you'll want your /home partition. If you're doing a workstation install
you should be alright. If you do the full install with everything you
might run out of room.
And use Disk Druid, it's the easiest.

trying again. never got any answer on this yet.
Any one knows what is the largest partition Linux ext2 can handle?
I've created a 37GB single partition on an IDE drive (new IBM drive).
mkfs works fine. it creates it OK, I can mount it OK, etc..
But every time I reboot, I get errors on that fs (missing inodes, or
duplicate something, etc), running fsck on it does not help, only
way to reboot is to go to /etc/fstab and remove it.
Then tried 2 partitions on the same disk. 18.5 GB each. All OK now.
so, any one knows of linux limitation for size of partition? why ext2
failes to mount a 37 GB partition but not 18 GB one?
this is using SUSE 6.1, kernel 2.2.5

Very strange.
On my system (Redhat V5.1), and a Mandrake 6.0 system, I don't get the:
hostname login:
prompt. I just get the "login: " prompt.
A quick perusal of the sources reveals that the login program is what is
displaying the hostname on the login prompt:
printf(_("\n%s login: "), thishost); fflush(stdout);
It's curious, also, that on a console, the first login attempt gets the
hostname with the login prompt, but after a login failure, subsequent login
prompts just say "login: ". Remember, however, that the initial login attempt
was solicited by a getty program, while subsequent attempts are from login.
Here's what testing I did:
As a stock configuration (/etc/issue.net exists) and stock configuration of
telnetd (no -h, or any other switch), I get
[contents of /etc/issue.net]
login:
So, I renamed /etc/issue.net away, then I get
Linux 2.0.36 (my-hostname) (ttyp1)
login:
If I manually start a telnet daemon (and leave the /etc/issue.net renamed
away):
in.telnetd -h -debug 49 -h
where 49 is a randomly chosen unused port number, I get:
login:
So, I don't know what to tell you. I'd suggest that you download the sources
for util-linux (where login comes from) for your distribution, and see what
they're doing that's different.
