I definitely agree with your assessment of AIX in general: I too would
die happy never having to touch another AIX box.  Although my experience
was on 3.2, 3.x: rumor has it 4.3 etc. is much improved *shrug*.

And I can't say much about the reliability as we had UPS, etc. and
didn't have that situation.

But I have heard from others that AIX's jfs is a pretty high-quality
implementation: it's definitely one of their selling points.  I guess,
as always, YMMV.

Dear friends,
Being an owner of ATI Rage 128 I had to configure RedHat 6.0 with the FBDev.
It works fine for me and all is OK. My problem is how to make a proper
startup (boot) floppy disk for such a configuration. This one that was
prepared during the instalation (or afterwards using 'makebootdisk' command)
lets me into Linux (console) but with no FBDev I can not start X. Also using
this disk I have "normal" resolution, not 1024. What have I to do? What
changes on startup disk to make it boot Linux with FBDev? Will you help me?
Thank you very much in advance
Maria

Ah, but there is a sligth difference here: A X/netscape crash (never
happened to me personally, but I did have an X/StarOffice crash and
have talked to other about the X/Netscape crash) can be resolved by
remotely logging in to the system and killing netscape - sometimes it
may be neccesary to restart the X server. For some reason X is able to
"lock the console" in this particular situation.

The poster's system does not respond to a remote login. He did not
mention if it does not respond to a ping. I have seen systems that
would not respond to remote logins. And, I have seen systems that
would neither respond to remote logins nor pings.

In the first case, you may be in a situation where the kernel runs
inetd, but inetd is not able to run e.g. telnetd. This could very well
be because the disk is not accesible. In the second case, I would
deduce that at least part of the kernel is down - or hopelessly locked
in parts that are exclusive. (Like some weird hardware access that is
not reentrant - an interrupt handler or something).

The first kind of errors I have seen a few times - always on systems
that were know to have real sucky hardware. (Old stuff that had been
taken down years ago, renewed with linux). The latter part I have only
seen once, where I was not able to pinpoint some hardware that was
broken.

Over 3 years, on the 15-20 linux machines I use, I have seen one
single crash, that I could not immediatly explain. And about 8-10 that
where due to broken hardware, or not-quite-good-enough driver support.
(Well, at one point I had a SMP system, where the one CPU was
broken, and until we figured that out, that system just kept
crashing/trashing the filesystem when running a SMP kernel. But I do
not think that counts. The system ran fine on one CPU, since the boot
CPU was fine.)

I was badly shaken by the crash that I could not explain. Took me
a week to recover from the shock. (I am almost seriously here. It even
happened on a X-client machine. No data loss, and a reboot fixed
everything, but still...) 

Better stop digressing now.

Subject: modem not responding
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 17:12:02 +1000


Hi,

I am trying to set up my Linux file server for PPP connections but
am
being thwarted by my modem.

I have switched the mouse between both com ports and both work OK.

When the modem is plugged into comX, I issue the command :  echo
"atdt/n" >/dev/cua(X - 1)

... the modem LEDs show it is ready to transmit but no dial tone.

Similarly, using the modem config tool under Redhat and linking
/dev/modem to the correct port, then using network configuarator to
set
up a PPP interface produces the same effect... ie no dial tone,
therefore no dialling.

I have another machine running winDoze 95 which runs the modem with
no
problem.

I am trying to set up my home network so I don't have to rely on
winDoze, so any help or suggestions that can be thrown my way would
be
gladly received.


Thanks in advance

The problems in the Third World are all caused by overpopulation,
inequality of wealth within the Third World nations, and exploitation
by First World capitalists/governments. How would sending over a few
thousand dollars change anything? It wouldn't, and that's one reason
why only sentimental fools bother.

We have Netfinity 5500's and would like to move from NT to Linux. We 
purchased the 2.2 distribution of Caldera. Each time we try to load in the 
install, the system will hang at the load kernel message. Afterwords a hard 
reboot is required.
We have tried the shipped install floppy, and well as LISA - both with 
similar results - a lock up at the LILO message.
We would like to use the Caldera distribution, but I have read that RedHat 
does support the ServeRaid II controller in the Netfinity series. Can 
anyone help?

Details:
450 PII, 128MB, (2) 9GB drives.

Red herring. The people we want to tax are the people who *didn't* earn
their money (which come to think of it, is everyone but that's a separate
issue). What do you have against inheritance taxes for billionaires?

No they wouldn't. That's just a bluff propagated by corporations. They're
blackmailing your country and idiots like you tell everyone else to fold.
When you actually call their bluff, and it's been done in the past, the
companies stay right where they are.

So your proposed solution is to beat people. If they aren't sufficiently
obsequious then you whip them until they are.

Helping people get jobs is possible, but it takes a lot of money; a
hell of a lot more money than the pittance "welfare" gives people.
So on the one hand, you're complaining about people being on welfare
but the only reason they're on welfare is because you're a selfish
stingy rat bastard.

He's not insulting you for your opinion, he's pointing out that you're

of your fellows. And by attaching so much importance to your own petty
selfish interests, you prove it.

It is.  Edit /etc/inittab and change the line:

Runlevel 5 starts xdm, the X login manager, when the system is started.

On what basis do you claim the US educational system is adequately
funded? The biggest problem with it is that it's *unevenly* funded
so large parts of it are completely worthless. IOW, an average dollar
figure is worthless.

Do you count universities as part of the education system? The US
has always sucked at producing scientists and researchers.

One of the problems of the US educational system is US arrogance.

Neither teachers nor parents have any incentive for students to learn
more. The only ones directly involved that do are students. Schools
are the prototype of an authoritarian institution; the subjects it is
supposed to benefit don't have any say whatsoever about it.

The only solution is massive redistribution from the rich to the
poor, instead of from the poor to the rich. But to do that, you
need a democracy. This is anathema to right-wingers, and even most
left-wingers. In fact, only extreme left-wingers want democracy.

Why does Red Hat insist on this "/boot/vmlinuz" thing?  It must be some
historical relic.  Make bzImage (zImage is obsolete) and copy it
to whereever you keep LILO files.  Give it a mnemonic name
such as bz2.2.10.  No symlinks.  Make sure it's in a partition your
BIOS can see.  (For most BIOSes, that means it ends below cylinder 1024.)


>What other files to I have to copy to /boot?

The LILO-related files are:

/etc/lilo.conf   Tells /sbin/lilo what you want
bzImage     Bootimage file: loadable by BIOS, LILO, Syslinux, or Loadlin.
boot.b      The loader, also (more or less) known as LILO.
chain.b     The chain loader, capable of launching a bootable partition.
message     The text you want to see at boot time, preceeding LILO prompt.
map         The list of block pointers /sbin/lilo creates



>DO I have to move the new System.map to /boot ?

No!  It's a historical relic of the days before the ps(1) command used
the /proc "filesystem."  The old ps(1) needed a symbol table to
rummage around in /dev/kmem.  It was slow.
I suppose System.map is also used to build symbols into the modules,
but once you have a bzImage and modules you don't need it any more.
It doesn't have anything to do with the LILO boot sequence.

Irix (the SGI version of Unix) has a pretty sorted journaling filesystem,
I believe that SGI were allowing/helping it to be supported in Linux.

At least iostreams are documented in the info files. On my
