Subject: Kernel installation
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 16:52:12 -0800
I've got kernel 2.0.34 (i386) on my RedHat 5.1 system and I'm having
trouble either installing or correctly compiling a new kernel.
I recompiled my kernel (just to try it out... I'm new to Linux) and
everything seemed to go okay (make xconfig; make dep; make clean; make
modules; make modules_install). I then copied
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/compressed/vmlinux to /boot and updated
/etc/lilo.conf, then ran lilo.
When I try to boot the new kernel, lilo says "Loading linux" then
outputs about 10 dots, then jumps right back to the lilo prompt, with no
error messages.
I can still boot my old kernel (labelled "stable") just fine.
I'm not really sure where to start. Have I probably compiled the kernel
with some bad settings, or simply not installed it correctly?
Here's my /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/sda5
prompt
timeout=150
default=linux
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6
label=stable
root=/dev/sda5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.34-0.6
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=linux
root=/dev/sda5
read-only
The only thing in the linuxrc file in initrd is the insmod command for
my SCSI card (BusLogic), and I've compiled my SCSI device support into
the new kernel so I shouldn't need a ramdisk, right? Anyway, I also
tried it with a ramdisk with the new BusLogic.o in it and it didn't work
either.
If the kernel is simply not compiled with the correct settings, how do I
find out what settings my stable kernel was compiled with, so that I can
mimic them?
Thanks in advance for any help,
--Pedro

I've recently tried 2.2.2 and found the sound code awful. I'm going back
to 2.0.36 for the time being. It freezes the whole system when it
tries to load after a warm boot. Has anyone else noticed this?

News readers are like editors or any other software. In
other words, a matter of personal choice. No need to start
another religious war...
I've tried Agent and although I wasn't particularly fond of
it I wouldn't characterize it as "crap."
I still think the best way is to run a small local news
server and feed it from your ISP. Then you can use whatever
news reader client you want as an offline reader. If
multiple people use the machine, they can each have their
own news reader and their own subscrition lists, article
watermarks, etc. Works like a champ.

I've successfully mounted ISO9660 and HFS CDROMS under linux, the latter
with hfs for linux.
How do I mount multisession CD's? I'm not sure whether such a thing exists
for ISO9660, but they certainly do for HFS. At the moment,
mount -rt hfs /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom
only mounts the first session.
Any ideas?

Actually, this can be configured. For some configurations actually,
there is more flexibility under NT then Unix, *especially* for file

I have a problem that I am not sure if it pertains to a sendmail

a machine with multiple domains. I have it setup so that it can accept mail
for all those domains. I can't find any information on how my mail server can
"send" as any one of those domains. In pine I have the user domain set to
whatever domain the user would like to be sending from, but that does not
seem to do the trick. I have all the domains in sendmail.cw as well. What
could I be missing? Any pointers would be great. O/S is RedHat 5.1 sendmail

I'm running Calera OpenLinux 1.2 with a 2.0.29 kernel and "all of a
sudden" I can't mount my cdrom. This has worked in the past, but now I
get a
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
or too many mounted file systems"
error.
I have swapped cdroms, recompiled kernels, (yes with iso9660 fs compiled
in). I've tried to mount another hard disk that has an old linux
installation on it, and get the same error message.
My current mount tables appears thusly:
/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /home type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /usr type ext2 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
I've never seen a limit on number of filesystems mounted, I know that
the hard disk is good. I used to mount it on boot, so as to be able to
retrieve files that somehow got overlooked when I upgraded my system
last, but no longer need to do that, so it has been just setting there
spinning away.
Any suggestions?
TIA

I used to dual-boot Windows a while back. I decided that I needed the
500 megs of HD space more than I needed 95. As a result, my home
network of Intel, Alpha, and Sparc machines is all Linux-based. As a
disclaimer, I have WABI to run the legacy Windows app that I need
to run - Quicken. It's more stable under WABI than it was under 95!

By using a GUI mail reader (xfmail), a GUI newsreader (knews), and a
couple of server-style programs that automate the whole process of
fetching/posting? I used to spend a lot of time (on Windows) waiting
on news. Now it waits on me.

I've done some more investigating and found some rather strang effects.
It turns out my new partition is there but it is an "F:" drive. There is
also an E: drive but it has no space. Clicking on it just gives a
unaccessible drive error. I found a web site that says how to change
drive letter inside the registry. When I do that however, upon rebooting
the drive letters are back the way they were. When I use fdisk from DOS
the "phantom" partition does not show up. I notices yet some more
wierdness. When I open a DOS box window I can cd to the F: drive
and see the files etc, but when I boot to Window 95 DOS the F: drive
is not assessible. Can Windows 95B DOS read FAT32?

The point of the 36-bit extensions to the page table entries is
to allow larger _physical_ address spaces.
Nobody is proposing that we allow a single process to access more
than 3GB of virtual address space. It is certainly feasible for
there to be 10 processes each using 3GB of virtual (and physical)
space thus utilizing 30 GB of physical ram. No changes to the
user-mode code is necessary at all.
Using the space above 1GB for kernel data structures becomes a
bit more problematic, however, due to the fact that linux direct
maps physical memory to the kernel virtual address space. However,
all the changes to support this would be in the kernel, not in
applications.
