Hmm. Did you remember to do `make bzImage' (and not just `make')?
Any errors would be sent to the screen. Since make often has to
unwind through several directories, this can move the actual error
off-screen, so try: `make 2>&1 > log'. Then you can use your favorite
text editor to peruse the file `log'.

Use `rm -fr' instead. From the manpage for rm:
-d, --directory
attempt to unlink directory, even if non-empty
(super-user only)
I don't even know how this works, but I'd guess that it may orphan
inodes in the directory (which would be why it's for root only).

Subject: stinit.def entry for tape drives?
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 11:14:23 -0700
Hi All,
I just installed a TANDBERG TDC 4100 QIC tape drive on my (only) scsi
controller on scsi id 1.
Now that the device is recognised, do I have to create a stinit.def file
entry for it? I don't seem to
have a default file in my RH6.2 installation. Or can I access the from the
dev dir directly?
(If that's the case, whats the /dev entry for a scsi dev id 1 ?)
Could some tell me if I need to put an entry in this file, and if so what do
I put? I tried to
set up a sample entry using the manufacturer, the model, but when I run
stinit, if complains.
[root@firewall /root]# more /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00

I'm listening to mp3's right now. ASUS A7V133, 2.4.1. Sometimes it
works, and sometimes it's really distorted. Flipping between console

I've used it on IBM Model 77s & 95s. If you use RH (as I do) you'll have
some problems as MCA isn't directly supported. I've heard (but not
checked) that Debian directly supports MCA. If not, there is a website
that has boot disks that should get you started (I've lost the URL);
search google.

I've installed Corel on several machines with few problems. As a desktop
OS it's not bad and for newbies it installs easily. Package upgrades are
easy too.
I've also installed the 1.2 (second edition) upgrade over earlier
versions. Unlike other distributions that want to reformat your drive,
Corel graciously did the upgrade.
Finally, it gives you the boot menu with a good selection of options in
case you run into trouble. This is a nice feature for those of us who
aren't Linux gurus.

I compiled my aic7xxx driver as a module, and modprobe is not automatically
loading it for some reason. I can load it manually using modprobe, but when
I run depmod -a and restart, the module does not load. What did you do that
aic7xxx loads automatically?

Special thanks to Julie for getting me this far. It still amazes me that I
am in Houston, TX, and I had to go all the way to the UK where they say
things like "pip-pip", "cheeky sod", and "cheerie-o" to find help with my
install miseries.
In my usual manner of getting in over my head, my first linux install is
getting to be quite a handful and my problems have now surpassed even
Julie's seemingly boundless store of knowledge.
My machine has 6 IDE controllers, and linux stops looking for drives after
only 4. I want my root partition to be on the hard drive that is on the
"fifth" controller (as linux sees them).
During Mandrake's DrakX installer, I can hit ctrl-alt-F2 to get to a #
prompt, and manually create nodes for my hard drives and partitions so that
the file system can be properly set up. In the case of my machine, I have
to manually create hdi, hdi1 thorugh hdi6, hdk, and hdk1 through hdk3 on the
virtual file system each time I boot to a virtual file system, and I had to
create them in the /dev directory of my "real" root partition by mounting it
to the virtual file system.
However, DrakX is bent on placing lilo on the MBR of hde (what linux sees as
my "first" hard disk) instead of the boot sector of hdi5 where I want it.
Well, I can use Mandrake's boot disk and CD to boot to a virtual file
system, create the nodes again, and mount hdi5 to a point where I can get to
it.
I used vi to edit the lilo.conf that is on hdi5 and set root=/dev/hdi5
Then I type lilo -r /mnt/hdd (with hdd being where I mounted hdi5) and I get
the message:
"Fatal: Sorry! I don't know what to do with unknown device 0x3805"
Julie was clever enough to note that 0x3805 converted to decimal is 56 5
(the major and minor device node numbers that I specify to create hdi5).
When I run lilo again and add the -v switch, it doesn't report the error
until it gets to the /mnt/hdd/boot/boot.b file (or /boot/boot.b, depending
on your perspective). It is accessing the boot sector of hdi5 just fine.
It is worth noting that hdi and hdk are connected to a controller card that
is in a PCI slot in the machine. It is a Promise Ultra100 ATA100
controller, which has known issues with linux, but I presumably have them
kicked by following the advice given to me by some kind soul who works for
MandrakeSoft.
SO:
How do I get past this 0x3805 device error?
It shouldn't, but could it be related to my Ultra100 IDE controllers?
TIA

Make sure you read linux/Documentation/usb/input.txt in the kernel source
directory. Also, you might need CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV (under "input core"
stuff in the config).

Linux should recognize the drives automatically but won't format them.
You will need to partition with fdisk or cfdisk, then you will need
to format each partition with the file system you want (eg, use mke2fs
for ext2 file system).
Linux will see each hard drive as a separate hardware device
(/dev/hda is primary master IDE, /dev/hdb is primary slave, etc).
You run fdisk on the device (eg, /dev/hdb).
Once you have partitions, they will have device names such as /dev/hdbN
(for drive at /dev/hdb), where N is a small integer. These each need to be
formatted with whatever file system you want.
Although each /dev/hdbN, for example, is sort of equivalent to what Windows
would call a "drive letter", Linux does not handle them that way. Once these
are formatted, you mount them and they become just part of your directory
tree. So you can use them without worrying about what device they belong to,
unlike Windows. :-)

My distro (RedHat 6.2) didn't support it either. But I downloaded the latest

Doesn't the 3100 support PCL/5e, which would mean you could at least
tell Linux it was a LaserJet 4/5/6?
