Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 16:03:06 GMT
I'm new to backups and have a shiny new Seagate SCSI-2 NS 8 TR-4 tape
unit. The install was easy and smooth but when I tried to do a
backup, everything is all wrong but I don't get any disgnostic error
messages! I'm trying to follow examples in the SAG:
[root@localhost /root]# mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
[root@localhost /root]# mt -f /dev/st0 erase
[I need to erase the tape first, right? I got an error message when I
tried with a fresh tape that had not been erased.]
[root@localhost /root]# tar -c -v -f /dev/st0 /home/amead/L5/
tar: Removing leading `/' from absolute path names in the archive

tar: /home/amead/L5/amead2: Not found in archive

Hope I did not include too much info. It would be helpful to know if
I'm doing the right thing and whether I should be using /dev/st0 or
/dev/nst0 (doesn't seem to matter, both fail).
Thanks for any help!

Subject: Acer, Linux and Yamaha OPL3-SAx PnP
Hello World,
I've recently bought a Acer Extensa 501T and installed SuSE 6.1. on it.
Everything works fine, except the soundcard, a Yamaha OPL3-SAx PnP. I've
installed and configured isapnp. isapnp finds the cards and sets
addresses, irq and dmas (They worked on the pre-installed win98) and there
is no conflict with other settings. I compiled the Sound-Support, the
OSS-Support and the Yamaha OPL3-SAx-Support as modules. In
/etc/conf.modules, I set the same addresses, irq and dmas I received from
pnpdump (and isapnp is configured with).
New if I start a sound-program (mikmod, x11amp, xsidplay) the program is
started, but play doen't work. The play-function seem to be activated, but
time remains at 00:00 and that is on all the programs mentioned above.
lsmod shows me the following modules
sound
soundcore
ad1848
BUT cat /proc/dma
4: cascade
7: MSS Sound Codec
But the soundcards needs two dma channels 0 and 7. Both channels are set
in isapnp.conf and conf.modules (both in /etc of course)
I use SuSe 6.1. but I updated to kernel 2.2.7 (although 2.2.5 did not work
either).
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Any help is welcome!
Regards
Andreas

Yes, it's possible. I do not know of any unix utility that can do it, however.
PowerQuest's Partition Magic (Win32) v4 can resize/manipulate ext2 partitions.
So if it's feasible, you could bring the system down, pull out the drive,
connect it to a windows box, and use Partition Magic on it.
It would be nice if Powerquest would make a Linux version!

Go for it. They have web based Linux support & they will

Also, mobo with built-in dual Celerons supports are on the market now.

The CD actually does include a Linux partition, and in that partition are
disk images for an OpenDOS floppy with the DOS version of the program.
Therefore, there's no need to pull the hard drive; just create the boot
floppy, bring the system down, boot with the boot floppy, and use that to
repartition the drive.
There's also an upgrade to 4.01 on PowerQuest's web site. Unfortunately,
AFAIK there's no way to update the emergency floppies unless you've got a
system running Windows. If you DO have a system running Windows, though,
you can update the boot floppy and use version 4.01 on it. (You'll
actually update the Windows-based boot floppy creation utility and create
a new boot floppy, which will then boot the DOS part of Windows rather
than OpenDOS.)
One caveat: *ANY* utility that mucks around with low-level data
structures on a hard disk IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS! DO NOT use Partition
Magic unless you've first backed up your data! Somebody posted just a
couple of days ago about PM trashing his ext2 partition. PM USUALLY
behaves itself pretty well, but don't take this for granted!

Subject: Booting headless?
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 12:39:13 -0400
I've got an old PC Chassis sitting around that I'd like to utilize as a RAS
[Remote Access Server].
I'm thinking Cyclades for the multi-port serial stuff. I had some exposure
to their terminal servers a while back and they seemed okay. Any other
vendor suggestions/recommendations?
And the _really_ big questions are these:
I remember an early packaged version of Linux - don't recall if it was RH or
Slakware that provided an option to configure the install for a headless
server. Ring anyone's bell?
I assume I'll need to have a keyboard and monitor connected just to get
networking configured and the new kernel crunched up, but what about
post-install? I just want to park this thing on a shelf and forget about
it - other than for occassional diags and backups.
How do you get past the boot-time errors when the system fails to detect the
monitor and keyboard?
Are these error messages non-critical to a box that can boot network-ready?
Are there any arcane HOWTO's on this subject? Construction guides for
monitor / keyboard port "dummy loads" perhaps?
I've been through the online docs with every recent release - and don't find
any mention of this type of setup - yet I _know_ I've seen a reference to it
somewhere / sometime during an install....[that drives me nuts!]
TIA,
-Drew

You're on the right track. It turns out that it wasn't a shadow ram
problem, but an issue with bios itself.
I never thought I'd be posting the answer to my own problem but since
the newgroups are used as a source of documentation, I thought I'd be
nice and share what I found out. I appreciate your comments as they led
me down the right track to eventually finding a sollution.
The sollution was getting a bios upgrade for my old motherboard
(fortunately I found one) and all my problems went away. Bios even
started recognizing my cdrom drive, something it hadn't done before but
which didn't cramp my style too much as linux saw it just fine. Linux
now recognizes all the memory that is installed in the system without
needing any mem=xxx arguments, and has quit crashing and doing
segmentation faults.
Cheers!

you will have to connect the printer to the serial port of your computer.
It is neccessary to use a special serial cable. If I remember there was a

yup. mine is hooked to a macintosh and I print thru appletalk (the
mac is a powermac connected via ethernet and tcp/ip to my linux
world. it talks to the printer via appletalk, and runs
laserwriterbridge)

Hi, I just purchased a Palm V and am anxious to get it running with

and my Palm into the serial port labelled com1. Everything works fine.
This same config. does not work in linux. How do I get linux to

I would recomend recompiling the Linux kernel for your computer and
enabling APM support and power-off at shutdown. Don't worry about this
being too complex, there are a number of good guides that give you a
little info about compiling a new kernel. Once you've built a new
kernel, your computer should be able to turn itself off when you type
shutdown -h now (although why you would ever want to do that is beyond
me :)

Hi
Thanks for the info but I THINK the file you are talking about is
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
What it does not seem to allow me to do is define the EXACT irq I want to

Hi,
perhaps you have hardware problems. The encoding is CPU intensive,
and you might be seeing errors produced by the CPU overheating.
If you haven't already, you might try running other CPU intensive
jobs that take 20 minutes or more to see if a similar crash occurs.
Something like gzipping a ton of files should do the trick. Try:
find / -type f -exec gzip -c -9 {} > /dev/null \;
Cheers,
