I am not sure if this will work, but, if you are using Linux, first, grab yourself
some 4.3GB or larger disks to hold your SCSI disks,
Then, plug them in, and boot. BEFORE YOU BOOT:::: go onto another computer, and
search the web for Tom's Root Boot Disk.
It contains everything you need to boot off a floppy-VI, kernel, and some utilities.
Then, do a 'dd' from the SCSI's to each IDE
disk. This will make exact copies, which will allow you to analyze what the problem
is...if it is the disk or the data. Oh, you might
want tol do a LILO on your boot HD, to make the root partition the IDE one, instead of
the SCSI. Now, you should be able to
get at least minimal functionality.
Warning::This method has not been tested, it is just a suggestion. First look at what
others have to say, then, if you must, do this
I am not sure of the exact 'dd' arguments to pass, but it might work, and if it does,
hurray, if it doesn't...
Let me know how it works out, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When a kernel is built, it has the location of the root file system ( the
partition where "/" sits) hard coded in.
If you are using lilo to boot a kernel,
you can say :
LILO: linux root=/dev/hda1
or whereever the root file system is, and that will over-ride the hard coded
value.
Now, when you do this, if you still get the problem, Check the following :
1) Root file system is in a format the kernel does not understand ?
2) The root file system is on a device the kernel cannot access ?
3) Root file system could be royally trashed.
LILO: linux single
this should get you into a single user, text only mode. Proceed with
recovery from there.
IF (3) , above is true, then get a boot disk image. The one I use is "Tom's
Root/Boot disk", and proceed with a recovery of data from
Just a couple of questions:
1) How many partitions did you make for Linux, and what sizes ?
2 ) Did you make a rescue disk after the newly installed system was up and
running ?

Hey, everyone does this at least once, then they learn. do a ( use EXACT syntax )
mv '--atime-preserve' temp-preserve
rm temp-preserve
if this does not work, try escaping each - using \-
It should work with one of these methods. If it doesn't, you are probably screwed.

Provided your network looks like the following (your schematic was hard to
read):
PC3=192.168.1.3
|
|-- 192.168.1.1=PC1=192.168.0.60 --|
|
PC2=192.168.1.2
the ipchains-command should be
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
which forces masquerading for all machines in the 192.168.1.x net. Your
command forces masquerading for PC2 only.
Your routing-table for PC1 looks weird, it seems to have mixed up your
"internal" and "external" networks. It should be something like the
following (obtained with "route -n"):
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The 192.168.1.x net is on eth1, the 192.168.0.x net is on eth0, the default
gateway is 192.168.0.1 on eth0. It looks like you may have got a wrong
netmask for eth1 on PC1 and you may be using a combination of router setup
in "/etc/sysconfig/network" (GATEWAY=...) and "/etc/sysconfig/static-routes"
or some similar way to set up routes in more than one place.
If, on PC1, you define in "/etc/sysconfig/network" with lines like the
following:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=host.domain.name
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
set "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" in "/etc/sysctl.conf", and set up routing
nowhere else, it should work for you. Check your netmasks in
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?", though.

Crossposted-To: comp.os.linux.x
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 20:10:04 GMT
I'm posting this for the benefit of others who may be in a similar
situation, and had difficulties.
I was using the version of GNOME that came with RedHat 7, which by default
installed Sawfish window manager. I upgraded the XFree86 to version 4.0.2
and added a second monitor. I was able to get Xinerama to display both
monitors, but the desktop saw only one large screen. When I maximized
windows, the windows expanded to cover both monitors. I tried KDE 2.0.1,
but had the same problem.
I went to the GNOME web site and upgraded to Ximian GNOME. Now, the dual
monitor setup works as expected. When I maximize the windows, the windows
cover only the current monitor, and does not extend into the other monitor.
The new GNOME still uses Sawfish window manager.
KDE 2.1 was recently released, but have not tried to see if it will
"understand" multi-monitor setup.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 20:24:39 GMT
LILO release 21.7 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.
Version 21.7 adds support for higher serial line rates and fixes a few
minor problems discovered in release 21.6.1. It maintains all backward
compatiblity.
Version 21.6 is an upgrade for users of the Reiser File System, and adds
new diagnostic capabilities. Internal changes allow booting kernels with
larger real-mode setup codes (2.4.0 and later). This version is fully
backward compatible with version 21.5, which added the customizable boot
menu interface, and versions back to 21.2, which allowed booting beyond
the 1024 cylinder limit on disks >8Gb.
Source code is available for download from:
ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo (developer's site)
Or from the main distribution site:

21.7 and prior releases.

You wont find anything like FP on linux or freeBSD.
There are programs like Bluefish that are out there. But you do need to

The very idea behind Xinerama is to have two monitors act as one large display.
Hence, the expected way to work would be to maximize between the two.

From: "Mike Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: hdparm & UltraDMA
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 16:11:35 +0500
I discovered yesterday that Linux was using PIO mode instead of DMA mode
for my hard drives, and I'd like to change this because it hurts the
system's performance a lot. All my hardware supports UDMA66 operation,
but I don't know how to safely enable this mode. (I say "safely" because
I've had one rather unsuccessful attempt that I don't want to repeat.)
Detailed explanation follows...
I have three Seagate Barracuda ATA II hard drives, two on my primary IDE
and one connected to the Promise Ultra100 controller integrated on my Asus
A7V motherboard. (These are UDMA66 drives.) At bootup, I get the following
messages (among others):
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd800-0xd807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd808-0xd80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
ide2: BM-DMA at 0x7800-0x7807, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0x7808-0x780f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
hda: ST320420A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: ST320420A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-105S 011, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hde: ST320420A, ATA DISK drive
hda: 39851760 sectors (20404 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=2480/255/63
hdb: 39851760 sectors (20404 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=2480/255/63
hde: 39851760 sectors (20404 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=39535/16/63, UDMA(66)
The first few messages would seem to indicate that my drives are using DMA
mode, and that makes sense because I turned on the "DMA by default" option
when I compiled the kernel (2.4.2). But those last three messages suggest
that hda and hdb aren't using DMA at all, and when I run "hdparm
-v /dev/hda" I get the following:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 2480/255/63, sectors = 39851760, start = 0
hdb shows the same results, and hde is the same except that "using_dma" is
1.
After reading the manpage for hdparm, I ran the command "hdparm -d1
/dev/hdb" and it seems to work; writing data to disk no longer makes my
audio skip, for example, so apparently it's using DMA.
Now, here's where the problem comes in. The manpage for hdparm says that
an option like -X34 is generally used with -d1 to put the drive in a
specific DMA mode. Everything seems to work fine without it, so I have
to wonder what mode the drive is in when I just use -d1. But after the
previous command, I ran "hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hdb" to put the drive in
what should be DMA mode 2. Several seconds later, my drive-access light
turned on, and I started getting kernel messages saying "timeout waiting
for DMA", and eventually it disabled DMA and reset ide0. After that, any
attempt to turn DMA back on, even with -X0 or no -X option at all,
resulted in more timeout messages and I had to reboot to be able to turn
on DMA again.
Now, that was using kernel 2.2.18. Someone on IRC told me that 2.4 might
have better support for my KT133 chipset, so I compiled 2.4.2 (which I'd
been meaning to do anyway) and tried again. Everything went the same
except that instead of having DMA disabled and ide0 reset, I got an
unending series of "hda: lost interrupt" messages, one every few
seconds, and after a hard reset, fsck found fairly serious filesystem
damage. And yes, it's hda that lost the interrupt, even though I ran
hdparm on hdb.
At this point, I'm totally at a loss as to what to do next. I'm sure the
majority of the world's Linux systems aren't using slow PIO modes on fast
DMA drives, so I must be missing something, but I don't know what.

My questions are:
* Is this a permanent disk failure?
* How can I test my disk to see if it's OK?
* Can I mark the sector as bad and continue using the disk?
[I'm coming from the perspective that I used to be able to

Can't get my PPP connection working for some time.
In /var/log/pppd.log I see the message:
"Peer is not authorised to use remote address 193.172.249.50"
"Unauthorized remote IP address"
What's happening here? In the /etc/ppp/options file I set
the option "noipdefault" but this also doesn't work....
I get this same message (same IP-nr) when I connect to both
my ISP (12Move and Hetnet)?
Can you tell me a solution for this? Would really like to see an internet
session under Linux.....
Thanks in advance,
Ben

There is a Windows based utility (Treesize) that provides a graphical
display showing the size of each part of the directory tree.
Is there a similar graphical utility for Linux.

Doing an "dig" on "hetnet" shows:

Subject: toshiba laptop shuts off!
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 16:04:30 +0500
I have a mystery. I have a toshiba 2800 laptop, running RH 7 with a
stock 2.2.18 kernel. I have downloaded the latest toshiba utils from
buzzard.com.uk.
When I try to load the module from buzzard, I get undefined symbols.
When I try to use the module from the kernel surce, I get "unknown
hardware type" when I try to use the tohibs utils.
None of this would really bother me, since I can get most of what I need
to work, except that the laptop does a hard power off after about 1 hour
of no use.
It does not shut down - it just powers off. File systems get checked,
blah, blah, on the next boot.
I have tweaked every setting I can think of - I have compiled the kernel
with APM , w/o apm, running apmd, not running apmd, running toshutils,
not running toshutils, and the #$%^&* still powers off when I leave it
for any lenght of time.......
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Hello,
I had (and still have) the following problem :

Someone told me the solutio was to include errno.h in the file. But I
looked in sanei-net.c and I saw "#include <errno.h>" in it. So what is
the problem ? What should I do ?
Thanks in advance,
