I suggest to insert this "module" in your kernel.
Otherwise you have to build boot images to get it running when you have
a harddisk attached to it on wich your kernel image is.

I have the same problem with my AHA2940.
Except that on your system it starts looking on both my computers a
(P166 and a Alpha 21264a 533MHz) it hangs before scanning the SCSI bus.
I think this is a serious bug in the AIC7xxx.
I am glad i'm not the only one ;-)

"info" is a command in and of itself on RedHat systems, I don't know about
other distribs. Info pages are just text files (like man pages) that
contain manual documentation for commands and files and libs and stuff.
The difference is that the "info" files are made using a different markup
language that allows cross-reference links (kinda-like HTML).
WHY we didn't just USE HTML and install "lynx" on peoples machines I will
never know?!?!
Anyway, there is an info mode to emacs, and many info doc-archive readers
like "tkinfo" and kdehelp tool.
I think that the "info" command might actually just be a link to emacs
console mode with the info
tool loaded???
I suggest you use "tkinfo" it is very easy to use with "helptool".
I usually use "man", but sometimes new GNU lib's don't have good man pages.

Sounds like your temp directory has got its permissions mashed. Do an
"ls -l /" and see what perms are on /tmp . Do this to fix /tmp:
chown root:root /tmp
chmod 777 /tmp
chmod g+t /tmp
See if that helps

I just compiled and loaded kernel 2.2.1
Everything went fine, but when I rebooted the machine, I got and error
message from modprobe that it can't find nls_cp437 and nls_iso???? (or
something).
In /var/log/messages, after messages regarding my ppp dialup, got the
messages modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
and the same with net-pf-4, net-pf-5, etc.
Is there some problem with my modules, or do I need to install an
updated version of modprobe, or can anyone tell me what the problem is??
PPP, sound, cdroms, everything seems to be working fine......
What's going on?
I am running a cyrix 686MX with the red hat 5.2 distribution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Compiling BIND 8.1.2 on RedHat 5.2
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 15:17:00 GMT
Hello - Just installed RedHat 5.2 and am trying to compile BIND 8.1.2. I
don't have much experience porting software.
First I used RPM to load the bind-utils-8.1.2-5 package.
After unzipping and untarring the files, I changed to the
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory and applied the two
patches there with the commands:
patch -p0 < bind-8.1.2-rh.patch
patch -p0 < bind-8.1.2-nonlist.patch
Then I changed to the src directory and issued the command:
make depend
That completed with no error messages. I then did:
make
which gave me numerous errors regarding libbfd-2.9.1.0.15.so.0:
as: error in loading shared libraries
libbfd-2.9.0.15.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
make[2]: *** [noop.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
That type of message is repeated for several other .o files.
I searched the system, and could not locate any file with 'libbfd' in its
name.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You need to be a little more specific.
Which distribution of Linux are you using? (RedHat is my specialty)
Which X-server are you trying to use? (/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64 is
what I am using)

You know that the traffic on Usenet is 80% spam and spam cancels?
With a daily traffic of ~300 messages on a high-traffic newsgroup,
that means 1400 ads per day, indeed.

Subject: Uninterruptable Sleep
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 15:24:22 -0500
We are attempting to convert a system from Interactive Unix to Linux. We
have four processes (for four different users) that monitor the system.
They generally sleep 30 seconds, run a ps with some greps and a cut and read
the output. This allows them to check the processes and make sure that
everyone that should be running is running.
After the weekend, I check the status of the system, and two of the ps
processes are not ending, and they have a status D. I also ended up with
the status D for an x-emacs session. These are listed as uninterruptable
sleep in the ps man pages, but there is nothing that I can find in the man
pages to say why they are listed as uninterruptable sleeps, nor how to get
them out of uninterruptable sleeps.
At the current time, I have 8 processes in uninterruptable sleeps, with 98
processes total running. I am running RedHat Linux 5.1.
Thanks in advance for your help.

That depends on the shell you are using.
Typical names are e.g. "~/.login", "~/.cshrc", "~/.profile", ...
See the man page or your shell for a comprehensive listing of all the
files, which are run when the shell is started as a login or a regular

See if your MANPATH environment variable has gotten mashed somehow.
Usually this is set in /etc/profile and maybe in ~/.profile

Subject: Just an observation on Linux growth
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 18:20:02 GMT
For three days in a row now the linux news headlines at
http://www.kieser.net/linux.html have featured very serious news announcements
of support for Linux by first the major hardware companies and now,
increasingly, component manufacturers as well.
This is on top of the spate of announcements at the end of last year (1998)
where the major software vendors (IBM, Oracle, CA, Sybase, Informix to name
but a few) rushed to announce free products for Linux. This quickly changed
to fully supported, chargeable Linux offerings as corporate demand caught the
commercial vendors with their trousers down.
The flood of newsbreaks for our faviourite OS that we receive at Kieser.net
on a daily basis has easily increased 400% in the past month.
I would suggest that whereas Linux ended last year at turbo speed, it has
begun to lift off the ground this year, beating even its own record. What I
would love to know is, if there can be a measure of software success (and
adoption), whether Linux is actually setting a software record for growth?
Windows 3.0 made M$ what it is today (by luck) because it was suddenly and
overnight success (after 2 failed attmepts previously I guess that it was
finally "useable").
AFAIK that is probably the biggest "record" that was set. Would be interesting
to see if Linux' rate of adoption has surpassed that of Windows 3.0. I guess
that the best measure would be new installations (Windows 3.0 sales v.s. Linux
installations on a month-by-month comparison for a given period of time).
Anyway, whatever the figure, there is definitely a Linux explosion out there!
Tux is peeing over everything!

Subject: Space Station uses 95/NT, disaster imminent (no joke)
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 19:56:23 GMT
The International Space Station (ISS) is networking seven IBM PCs
together using one NT box and three Win 95s. They are using Windows
based software to determine when the next communications pass will
occur.
Here is a quote:
"The station will use an "orbiter communication adapter," similar to the
ones now used by NASA space shuttles to handle data communications with
the ground. The OCA is specially designed by NASA to accept all the
delays and drop outs associated with space-to-ground communications.
The device will attach to the network using proprietary Windows device
drivers. "
The article is here:
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9902/01/space.lan.idg/
Looks like NASA is not so smart after all. Without going into a long
winded discussion on why this is a STUPID idea on NASA's part, think
what would happen if the software were to fail unexpectedly? Would MS
make NASA upgrade to 98, or better, wait for Win 2000? As we all know,
MS Windows stability (cough) slowly degrades with time. Can you
seriously imagine an astronaut spending their afternoon reinstalling the
OS, having device detection problems, and mysterious file system
corruption? I find this choice of OS to be especially disturbing
considering the fact that NASA has been UNIX friendly for a long time.
It sounds like someone didn't do their homework. Now the $15 Billion
dollar station just got a little more expensive...
What do the astronauts do when they have to reboot after a BSOD at zero
gee? Crash into a cargo resupply vessel I assume.
I realize that they are probably not using the Windows boxes for mission
critical stuff, but orbiting the Earth at 17,000 mph is no cakewalk
either. NO ONE can settle for instability.

I managed to remap it under X Windows. I'm not on my home system, so I don't
have a copy of my .xmodmaprc file here, but I can tell you the general
approach. I used xev to find the scan code, and then made myself a new hyper

so I could do it.

On my system Netscrape 4.08 normally takes 20MB ram for ONE window, having 6 open
is not even possible with 64MB, unless it goes to the swapfile and grinds away.
Also, KDE is not exactly light on memory either, but the culprit I think is
Netscrape. Can't wait until Opera is ported in the next few months :)

You should have a folder on your desktop called "Templates". Simply
click on it, then select the icon appropriate to the file you want to
have a shortcut for (i.e. device, script, app, etc.), and drag it to
the desktop. Then you right click on the icon, scroll down to
"Properties" (or is it "Change"), and edit the name of the application
(change the name of the .kdelnk file, keeping the .kdelnk extension),
its path, and so on. You can change the default icon by clicking on
it (or them) and selecting from a list of icons. If you want an icon
that's not there, then you can copy the icon (assuming it's somewhere
else) to the directory where it keeps icons.
It's so simple. If you read the KDE help, it will tell you this and
more on using KDE.
Good Luck,

looks like you don't have the correct version of QT installed. Read the
readme that came with licq. You can get the newest version of QT

Pete,
Alternatively, there is a "Network Neighborhood" type of program for
Linux called "Cheops". You could install it and see all the Windows and
Samba machines in your network.

I know that the company says it should work, I'm just wondering if you
have run into any problems using Partition Magic 4 to resize (in my
case, make bigger) Linux ext2 partitions...
