Subject: dual boot problem, I think
Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 03:09:21 GMT
Hi All,
At work yesterday,, I installed redhat 7.1 on an existing machine that
had
winnt 4.0 on it. I installed a second hard drive , western digital 20
Gig. I did a custom install and installed LILO in the MBR . Everything
went well till
I booted into the linux partition and I only saw L, instead of LILO. I
did make a boot
floppy so I could book into the linux partition. How do fix LILO so I
can access the winnt
partition and the linux partition? I did try to run the command
"/sbin/lilo", but
still I only get the L of LILO. I have since changed in the bios the
configuration for the
hard drives from USER to AUTO. I now get LIL- upon bootup. I can boot
with floppies
both the winnt partition and the linux partition. This is not the most
efficient method of using
this PC, but it now works and I can get some work done on it. I really
want to dual boot both
winnt and linux. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance for taking time to help,
Leslie.........................

Sendmail is merely a program which is responsible for receiving mail and
forwarding it to the correct user. It handles incoming mail hosts and the
processing of aliases and so forth.
It isn't a fully integrated solution like MS Exchange. You will also need to
install the "imap" package onto your Redhat box to provide you with imap and
pop mail services (this is a very simple thing to do). As for the real beauty
of Exchage (the Web Mail), you will have to look around for a product which
does it. I know that there are a few out there which are capable of doing the
task, but their names and URL's escape me. However, I would be interested in
any web front ends that you did manage to find.
See ya
Dean Thompson

Deja had a whole bunch of unanswerred pleas for help regarding this computer
but...
Being as I am now the proud owner of an HP Kayak XU computer I'd LOVE some
HELP!
Has anyone got this thing going, with built in NIC card and Sound on
Linux?????
Most of the google links refer to Red Hat 5.1 does anyone know if there has
been some improvements since then....
Under Mandrake, it loads boots but I can't use eth1 and no sound, and it has
INTEL bus mastering and agp bridge that linux doesn't recognise.
ANY help would be much appreciated.

My only other thoughts on this would be to take a look in your .config
file and see if you have ide and dma enabled. Easiest way is probably
to cd to your kernel tree and do a make xconfig, check your settings,
and quit without saving. Although if you're using a distro kernel I'd
be fairly confident it was set up correctly - even if bloated.

Backup everything you can if you have reported messages then you have
already lost some data. Unless your using the Error correction raid
mode. You can try to fix the drive by writing 0's or low-level
formatting it and then checking for bad blocks but it's been my
experience even if this works and it recharges the bad blocks they
just eventually come back in other places. If I were you I would
replace the drive.
If you understand the theory of half-life you'll understand why this
is.

Two 50MB partitions, using software RAID. Actually, I'm only using
about 25MB.

I have a nightmarishly horrific FS layout. You'll have to take it on
faith that it wasn't supposed to work out this way, but two failed
RAID1 disks and many partial installs later, it's a miracle I was able
to save anything. (And, in fact, I saved literally everything,
excepting some programs and most conf files.)
I have come through the RAID1 tunnel and I have seen the light: as
soon as I can afford it, in goes a 60GB disk to backup all my crap,
then the other two disks get translated to regular partitions.

Subject: aic7xxx Issues With RedHat 7.1--Just Me?
From: Toni Ard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 05:04:59 GMT
Greetings,
I'm running RedHat Linux 7.1 on an MSI-6163 Pro v2 motherboard, 450MHz
Pentium 3 (Katmai), 256MB RAM, Voodoo 3 3000, Linksys Etherfast, Adaptec
2906 SCSI. I am using kernel 2.4.4 that I compiled myself.
Last night I was transferrings some very large files, each 30-100MB, over
my 10base-T home LAN to an old 4gb SCSI disk on an Adaptec 2906 on my RH
7.1 Linux box. The filesystem is ext2. The files had checksums, and when
I checked them about three quarters of them were bad. This got me thinking
so I re-transfered the files to my ATA/33 disk and they were perfect. Then
I tried to copy them, in directories so using tar, to the SCSI disk. This
time I got a hard kernel oops half-way through. The oops information
didn't look interesting, and it was quickly relaced by junk on the console
anyway. I did, though, notice something about paging space.
Is there something wrong with the aic7xxx driver and the Adaptec 2906, or
is it just my hard drive and not a driver problem? I'm pretty confident in
my cabling and termination. It seems as though large file transfers at
high-speeds mess up. Restoring large data from SCSI tape, on the same bus,
seems to work fine--it's much slower than 10mb/s and even 1mb/s. Maybe
speed and file size has something to do with it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
>From the RH 7.1 install guide.
If you have Windows NT and you want to install LILO, you should choose to
install LILO on the first sector of the root partition, and not in the MBR.
Please be sure to create a boot disk. In this case, you will either need to
use the boot disk, or configure the NT system loader to boot LILO from the
first sector of the root partition.
Review http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html for more
information on how to set up LILO and NT.

Try posting the results of 'cat /proc/pci' or 'lspci'
This would give people clues to what kind of sound and ethernet devices
are in your system. You should also open the case and investigate these
mysteries directly. Look for manufacturer name and part numbers for the
Ethernet controller, sound chip, and the motherboard chipset.

There are many problem with guillemot sound card as they don't support
linux !
Try to boot under windows the use loadlin (warm boot) to launch linux
and pray that it works.

I had some IRQ sharing problems with the 2977. It won't work with
a USB on my machine so I switched PCI slots with my sound card.
Don't try to use the auto configure options with setserial. Here is
what I ended up with in my /etc/rc.serial file:
setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 3 port 0xa000 uart 16550A
setserial -b /dev/ttyS3
Change yours to match your port and irq.

This is just a suggestion.
It is *not* a requirement.
I always put LILO in the MBR, and up till now I never had an OS
I couldn't boot with this configuration.

That was a good thing.

did you rerun `/sbin/lilo -v -v` *after* you changed this?
(Beware that BIOS changes may have an undesired result)
Take a look at the output of `/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hd[a-d]` Are both
partition
tables still correct?
