Subject: Resume problems with APM on laptop
Date: 26 Feb 2001 00:03:34 -0500
I'm running RedHat 7.0 on a Dell Latitude C600 laptop. I'm having
problems with APM, no doubt caused by my relative ignorance of
Linux, and I'm hoping someone could set me straight.
If I suspend by typing apm -s (which I can only do as root),
hitting the power key to resume brings me back to my login screen,
rather than to the session I left. If I suspend by shutting the
cover, then resuming brings me to a console login window (rather
than the X login from apm -s). Neither of these is particularly
useful, since of course I'd like to be able to do something,
whether shutting the cover or typing some command, that will allow
me to start working from where I left off; otherwise it's not
terribly useful having a laptop.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Subject: Strange 2.4.2 boot error
I'm trying to install a new kernel 2.4.2 on a RH 7.1 beta, SMP. The
default RH kernel (2.4.0-0.99.11smp) works fine. But when I create a
boot
floppy, I'm coming up with a non-lilo error I've never seen before,
being
partially a dump of some cpu registers. I've tried compiling a stock
2.4.2
kernel with both the gcc and kgcc compilers, getting some warnings on
gcc
that disappear with kgcc, though both compile (both were tested, both
fail
the same way). The system is basically aic7xxx scsi, dual pII 450. Here
is the error, can anyone shed any light on this, which occurs
immediately
after the kernel load, and repeats to infinity:
0200
AX:0212
BX:6C00
CX:5001
DX:0000.
D. Stimits, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PS: I'm especially interested in what the "0200" indicates, since it
isn't a register dump.

i found out this does work actually, but only slightly. After doing a
directory listing some files do have a .zip appended to the filenames
but the majority were only files that end in numbers, and not even all
of them at that. A few that ended with letters were changed but hardly any.
Why weren't all the filenames changed?
here is a sample directory listing:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 914 Feb 26 00:24 10_past_3.748.zip

Thanks for that suggestion, Tim - I'll have a go at that the next time I
shut the machine down. I have tried issuing a 'shutdown -h now' and
that doesn't seem to help. Maybe the failsafe will work for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, Gerhard. Is there something in the 2.4.0
kernel that behaves differently than 2.2.x kernels as regards the
shutdown?
I have noticed that DPMS doesn't work under XFree86 4.0.1 on my system,
where it did work before....
Will give that a shot.

This is actually the normal message file specified with the "message"
keyword in the /etc/lilo.conf configuration file. It points to a text
file _OR_ a pcx coded image file.
What I did, I copied the red hat image file into another file, then
opened it with gimp, changed it, saved it as PCX file. Then change the
/etc/lilo.conf so that it points to the new destination, and Voila!

=2E.. or look at the netrc concept. I've written a number of scripts that=
generate .netrc files on-the-fly and remove them when the access is

Hello,
check this URL:
http://www.mostang.com/sane/
I would suggest buying a SCSI scanner, it must not be a very expensive
one, only problems are the cheap crap half-ass SCSi cards that come
with those scanners and mostly don't work with Linux, but you can get
a cheap supported (ie. NCR) card, check the hw DB of your distro.
I have a really very cheap Mustek SCSI scanner:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
Vendor: SCANNER Model: Rev: 2.02
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 01 CCS
It runs without any problems with my AHA2940 controller, which I had
before, not the cheapest controller I know, but this Adaptec controler
runs
without any problems since years and is worth the price.
The scanner is not very fast, but I seldom scan pictures, so it doesn't
really matter to me...:-)
Good luck
Michael Heiming
