Hallo,
I don�t know, if I am in the right Newsgroup.
I have compiled a new 2.210 Kernel. After the restart I get the follwing
message:

I found out, that the message is produce in 'route.c'.
So does someone know, what i make wrong, perhaps the wrong compile options.

I ran 'make oldconfig' and compiled the new kernel fine. However
when I try to boot, I get four lines of what looks like Intel
register values, then the kernel starts booting. After it gets
through a certain amount of the boot process, a slew of numbers
get's printed followed by an "Aiee killing interupt handler" and
the the computer resets.
I am running Pentium 200MMX on a Tyan Tomcat, with Tekram and
Symbios SCSI cards. I've been using kernel 2.2.9 for several
weeks with no problems.

What version of Xfree86 do you have?
I have 3.3.3.1 ( I believe ), and the setup program had mine. It's also a
jaton card with that chipset. Download the newest version of XFREE86
and go from there - or it's also on the redhat linux6.0 disk.

Just do a 'xrdb ~/.Xdefaults' to load the new X properties.
Note that emacs and xemacs work differently. The line
emacs*Background: DarkSlateGray
will only work with emacs. With XEmacs it's a different line. Something
like:
Emacs.default.attributeBackground: peachpuff
though i'm not sure if this is the right way to do it.

the localhost login (the user you will login as) should be root (the
superuser) and the password might be empty (ie simply press return) if you
didn't enter one. If you did enter one and forgot it then you committed
your first serious mistake. Try CTRL-ALT-DELETE to shutdown the computer
and when it boots and gives you LILO enter "linux single" fast. You might
get in without password (not sure though) and then set one with the passwd
command - do remember it. Then "shutdown -r now" and login in as root
with password. Once you are in as root, create a new user account for
yourself and use that instead of root.

Hi,
I've been banging my head against the wall for the past month for
this:
To make a boot/root disk set for our RAID server, and which will
output console to serial port.
The compiled kernel's around 1130K at the least for our 2.2.5 kernel,
and lilo21 wasn't able to install the kernel.(vmlinuz too big)
Is there some way to modify the kernl to do this/or some way to make
the lilo work?
Thanks,

I was going to put Slackware on this old P60 for my mom, unfortunately
linux couldn't operate the video card correctly which might have been
a PCI problem. So I spent hours putting win95 on it and IT works
fine. Can't stress how dissapointed I was to find this happen, even
more so when I asked for help and got little or none, course the
prablem was probably too deep for most here..was for me. She would have
been perfectly capable and it would have worked out nicely, but 16
color VGA is about butt ugly, and with a 2M video card capable of much
more it is simply not workable.
My first computer was a TRS-80 or TSR-80 I am not sure which, little
black box that hooked up to my TV and tape deck. Then was an Apple
][+. The first one I bought for myself was an Atari 800 which had a
busted BASIC cartridge that puked on IF THEN statements....played
frogger and zarcon on it a lot and thats about all it could do. Gave
up on computers for a few years and got a P150 3 years ago, read about
Linux on ESR's site and decided to try it out....been using it ever
since for everything but playing the good games.

It's probably best to unpack your tarballs in /usr/local/src. If the
the package is done right, it'll create a directory there when you unzip
it. Obviously you got that far. Next change into the source directory
and read any INSTALL or README files about the setup. Unless it's
a complicated package, running ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
should get the package configured.
I'd guess your problem is, you don't have a compiler installed. The
configure script is telling you it can't find gcc (gnu c compiler) or
cc (generic c compiler, which is usually linked to gcc).
Many tarball install fine, contrary to other posters' comments. Any
software that isn't part of your distribution should live in /usr/local
or /opt. Usually, the process of building a tarball is easy:
./configure
make
make install
Good luck.

pgcc is not a compiler. It's for making gcc optimize the code it

AFAIK, you wouldn't use DHCP to intermittently connect to an ISP. The
commonly used protocol is PPP wich CHAP or PAP authentication. DHCP
is commonly found in INTRANETs where computers are dynamically
assigned IP addresses. Call your ISP again and tell them they're
full of it, and you just need their primary & secondary domain
name servers and whether they're using CHAP or PAP (probably PAP).

I dont know specifically about redhat 5.2 but there is an upgrade procedure
on redhat's support pages about doing this type of thing. I just upgraded
to gs 5.50 and had forgotten to get the fonts for the upgrade. This caused
me some problems printing. RedHat 6 handles printing with the same basic
print-tool which is just a front end to a /etc/printcap file. I found that
printing is pretty easy to setup but hard to get everything working just so.
I would check the ghostscript updates on redhat 5.2 errata pages at the
support pages first. Did you install the noarch fonts too?

Mine is SB 128... but it DOESN'T work at all! When I do sndconfig,
it tells me that "sox: /dev/dsp not known". Does anyone know what it means?
How can I get it work??? My kernel is 2.2.9

When using the JDK 1.1.7 with SUSE linux 6.1
javac HelloWorld.java
the code compiles after giving the message
/usr/lib/java/bin/../bin/checkVersions: /tmp/ldd.out.3064: Permission
denied
using
java HelloWorld
runs the code again after the message
/usr/lib/java/bin/../bin/checkVersions: /tmp/ldd.out.3064: Permission
denied
the number after /tmp/ldd.out. changes each time.
using javac or java runs the .java_wrapper script which then runs the
checkVersion script.
the permisions for the /tmp directory are rwxrwxrwx which are correct,
there are no files /tmp/ldd.out.xxxx is it trying to write to this file?
can anyone shed any light onto what is happening?
