Yep, with you there Chris.
On boot I get:
init: error in loading shared libraries:
/lib/libNoVersion.so.1:
failed to map segment from shared object: cannot allocate memory.
It locks up and requires a hard reset.
I've found no references on deja, altavista or google and so was
relieved to see your posting! 8-)
I'm in the process at the moment (so it's untested) of updating to glibc
2.1.1 - I am grabbing the RPM for RH6 - hopefully this'll help... 8-)

I have the same problem myself. The way I worked about this is by disabling
Java within Netscape. That way I don't have to worry about crashing if I
stumble on a page that uses Java. I've been told this issue is due to the
upgrade to glibc2.1. I'm guessing it's because Netscape was compiled on
glibc2.0.
One issue I've seen though is that if I have multiple web pages open and I go
to Dell's webpage, it consistantly crashes netscape. Even with Java disabled.
It dosen't happen with any other page, and it dosen't happen if I only have the
one Window open. I haven't quite figured this one out yet.

I'm using E myself, but I don't have sound support on this machine right now
(weird soundcard). I did figure out this issue on another machine though. esd
runs as a particular user, and dosen't quit when you log out of E. Then when
you log in with a new user, it cannot access the hardware in order to start esd
for the new user. You can manually kill that process to fix this issue. Kind
of a pain though.

I'm new to Linux. I have a copy of Caldera 2.2 and am planning to
install it on my Win98 system. I have an IBM ATA-66 14gm hard disk, but
have gotten the impression that the partition Linux is installed in must
begin under the 8gb area. Is this true? If so, can I start it at say,
7.5gb and go to 9.5gb? I have Partition Magic 4.0, so I can create
partitions easily.
The messy thing about this is that then I have to have two partitions
for Win98, one before and one after the Linux partition.

There is ghostscript. It can interpret Postscript and generate
output for most known printers. I used it to print PostScript
files on a 24-pin dot matrix.
Typical command line goes about
gs -sDEVICE=some-device -sOutputFile=\|lpr -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER foo.ps -c quit
but look at the manpage too, of course :)
The available device names are printed by `gs --help'.
They are not the special file names in /dev .

What's going on here is you're copying bzImage to /tmp which is
normally in the root FS. You didn't say whether the root FS
lies entirely in cylinders numbered less than 1024, so we
don't know whether you're getting lucky (no blocks happen to
reside in BIOS-unreachable cylinders) or this is a sure cure.
Microsoft apparently handles this BIOS limitation more gracefully
than Linux, with a system call (documented?) to write a file
that always lies within BIOS-reachable territory. This would require
an unaesthetic hack to the very stable ext2 FS which is why nobody's
done it.

>ln -f /tmp/bzImage .
The only reason I can see to do that is because your /tmp directory
is swept clean at boot time. Just use /boot instead of /tmp
to eliminate this step.
(It only works if /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot is on the same
partition as /tmp. You can't link the same file to names in
two different file systems. Having /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot on root
is generally a Bad Idea. Why not just
mv /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/z2.2.10-n
instead?)

Possible but I don't know of any tools to do it. You'd make a
file big enough to hold two or three kernels and a map,
verify that *it* exists within the limit (that's the no-tools-exist
part), and make a file system on it.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/luckyfile bs=1k count=1500
mke2fs -m0 /luckyfile 1500
Then mount it with the loopback device (so *that's* what it's for!)
and put your lilo-related files in it.
Then you can make kernels and lilo them and they will be
installable every time.
Perhaps someone who knows the API will write the "verify it's
BIOS-accessible" tool for us.

If you recieve a signal 11 every time you are undergoing a large complile, you
have a hardware issue. Getting a Signal 11 every time you complile is NOT
normal. You should not be getting any. I highly recommend you go over your

Ted,
You just need to export the DISPLAY in your X Window session. I do this
all the time running Solaris apps from headless Solaris boxen onto my Linux
box. I wrote up a quick HowTo (I can't guarantee it's performance or
accuracy) on my Linux page. Anyway, here's the URL:

Hope that helps. It's not the best since I am still pretty new to Linux,

As of 2.2.7, there is at least some USB support in the linux kernel.
Mr. Li, try downloading the 2.2.9 kernel which comes with the Linux-Mandrake
distribution. It comes in RPM format, so it can be installed just by using
the RedHat Package Manager. You can get it at www.linux-mandrake.com, or at
rufus.w3.org. Once it's installed, use linuxconf to set up this new kernel so
that LILO can detect it. Anyone know if there's a HOW-TO on this?
I'm not sure whether this kernel has USB support compiled in. So you
might have to compile your own kernel.

You might want to see if vi is around anywhere. If not, you can always do
things the really hard way:
cat /etc/lilo.conf
and have a look at it.
To rewrite the whole file, do:
cat > /etc/lilo.conf
Then type, and hit ctrl+d to finish.
If you just need to append lines to the end, you can do
cat >> /etc/lilo.conf
or just
echo sectors=16 >> /etc/lilo.conf
echo heads=63 >> /etc/lilo.conf
echo cylinders=1057 >> /etc/lilo.conf

>around but could find anything pertaining to this issue. How can I change
>the resolution?
Run XF86Config and choose a higher resolution.
Choose a sensible monitor setting ( eg not generic VGA monitor. )
If this doesn't work, you have some work to do.
Make sure your video card is supported and that you have the right driver
installed. If your video card isn't (explicitly) supported, you still may
have a chance if your chipset is supported ( for example, all RivaTNT cards
should work )
