Hi,
I could not seem to get an answer on this problem, so I am posting it again
and hope that someone out there can give me some pointers.
I have a 5.1 linux box connected to a Motorola Modemsurf External 56K modem.
It worked fine until one day it started to disconnect immediately after I
dialed up and connected. (5-10 seconds). It autodialed again, and shut down
again......
I went ahead and bought a ModemBlaster 56K (v90) external to hook up with
this linux box, but it still did not work. I then upgrade the linux box to
Redhat 6.0, but still have the same problem.
If I use these 2 modems on Win98 and WinNT, they works prefectly fine, then.
Clues? Anyone? please...

Subject: Problem with "passwd" command
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 19:35:46 -0500
To whom it may concern:
I am using RH6.0. *Sometime* the "passwd" command acts strangely: after I
enter the new password second time, it freezes the terminal. Actually the
"passwd" process is waiting for the disk. After this, any process which
involves the disk usage will be waiting for the disk. I have a RH5.0
machine, but I don't have this problem with it. What is wrong? How can it
be fixed?
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

No. It almost always means that you have started pppd while the other end
is still running a login process that is looking for a string and is
echoing pppd's LCP packets. If you do try to start pppd on a serial port
already in use by pppd it will fail: pppd locks the port.

pppd never talks to "the world". It just talks to another pppd.

If your distribution does not provide it in some other way, you can find

I had an Adaptec 1542 card in my last PC running slackware 3.5 kernel 2.0.34
I used the aha1542.s file for my boot disc at first and then later, when i
decided to network it with my windows PC i used the scsinet.s file
of the cd. They both worked fine.
If you have an IRQ or I/O conflict then if something else is already loaded you
might not be able to see the scsi card.
try
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
and
cat /proc/devices
to see if that gives you any clues.

This comes directly from the FAQ included with the pppd source file:
========================================================================
Q: When I try to establish a connection, I get an error message saying
"Serial line is looped back". Why?
A: Probably your connection script hasn't successfully dialled out to
the remote system and invoked ppp service there. Instead, pppd is
talking to something which is just echoing back the characters it
receives. The -v option to chat can help you find out what's going
on. It can be useful to include "~" as the last expect string to
chat, so chat won't return until it's seen the start of the first PPP
frame from the remote system.
Another possibility is that your phone connection has dropped for some
obscure reason and the modem is echoing the characters it receives
from your system.
========================================================================
The source file can be downloaded from here:
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/
Maybe the above has already been quoted. If it has, sorry.

Date: 17 Aug 1999 01:28:09 GMT
Hi, since I have gotten no response from open-sound tech support, I'll try
here.
I have a P100 machine that was previously running approximately RedHat 4.1
with an MPU-401, SB32-AWE, and commercial OSS, without problems.
I recently upgraded most RPMs using a RedHat 5.2 CD, and re-downloaded the
commercial Glibc OSS, and re-installed that. My kernel is from the stock
2.0.36 RPM on the RH 5.2 CD. I did not recompile, although I did install
the kernel source RPM.
The problem is that anything opening the MPU-401 driver locks the machine
with an endless loop of data-send timeout messages.
Unfortunately, Open-sound doesn't want to send the source code, so I can't
even see what's going on.
Can someone who is running a similar setup let me know if it works or not?

I am getting the "modem is locked" message. I checked and I do have

Yes, and the maturity of GCC for C means that the kernel folk can
expect their understanding of how GCC generates code to be at least
somewhat meaningful.

comp.os.research would be a far better place to post proposals about

Thanks Olivier, that solution fixed my Samba problem as well.
What's really annoying for me is that "Win 95 bug fixes" is set "on"
for the standard RH6.0 system that I'm using and the RPM upgrade
kernels. So, when I was recompiling the kernel for something else,
I set the W95 bug fixes flag to off and promptly forgot about it.
Why? Well, I changed it to "off" on the recommendation of a post
from one of the Samba team in the RH mailing list. Supposedly, with
my Win98 system, using the kernel Win95 bug fixes setting would
cause bad time stamps.
While getting the other hardware device working, Samba wasn't
getting used much of the time, but a few weeks later I was pulling
my hair out wondering what happened to the "Network Neighborhood."
The morale of the story is that when you start goofing with the
kernel, do one thing at a time. :)
Now, time for a little email, it looks like the Win98 users needs
the bug fixes too.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi folks,
Not long ago, I posted a message on this newsgroup to seek for help for
a Linux problem, but no one could help. I searched deja news and found
that there are other people facing the same mysterious problem. The
problem is still unsolved, so I post it again.
The problem is the following: we cannot get Linux-Mandrake a clean
shutdown. When I do a shutdown -h now I get, according to a poster in
the forum fido7.linux, "a bunch of mostly unintelligible code all over
the screen immediately after the system says 'system halted' ". In my
case, neither shutdown -r now nor shutdown -h now work.
And the "bunch of mostly unintelligible codes" said that
unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ...
(I haven't jotted down the address).
The line is followed by many bracketed numbers. The last line of the
error message(?) reads
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S00 halt: lines 1: 1155 Segmentation fault
halt -i -d -p
The Linux system was freshly installed. I didn't change any
configuration after installation. In fact, the first thing I did after
installation was to try to do shutdown.
The poster I mentioned above also reported that if he does a reboot, he
never gets this problem. Also, the problem
"Never happened with 5.2, just with 6.0. I removed it [mdk 6.0] and
tried another distro [distribution] with the same kernel, 2.2.9-19mdk
and it worked well. Back to Mandrake and the same problem occurs again.
I quite like Mandrake and would like to see it work on my system."
Another person who faced the same problem gave me a reply in private. He
used the same distribution (Linux-Mandrake 6.0) and the same chipset
(VIA MVP3) as I used, and faced the same
problem. However, he fixed the problem on his machine in the following
way:
> Change the last line of /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt from:
> Eval $command -i -d -p
> to
> eval $command -i -d
>
> This will avoid "halt" from trying to do a "powerdown."
Sadly, this trick doesn't work on my machine.
So, any help?
Cheers, Hankel

I do Java development (mostly on UNIX, some on Linux)- you'll want to
get the JDK from blackdown.org (actually one of their mirror sites,
which are listed on their web site), version 1.1.7 is the latest
official release although they have a pre-release of 1.2. As someone
else mentioned, IBM is getting heavily into Java, their compiler (jikes)
is supposed to be very good (fast), but I don't know if you can get the
JDK for Linux from them. My guess is you could use the IBM compiler with
Blackdown's JDK.

Hi! I recommend Mandrake. There are a few things I should let you know
though. First off, the kernel they supply you with (2.2.9-19mdk) is a tad
unstable at times with a few systems. So, if you love to compile your own
kernel, go for it :) I'd recommend 2.2.10 or 2.2.11pre3. Also, there is a
problem with cron.daily that will give you an error message in your root user
e-mail account. That is also easy to fix, but, it's been a few weeks, so
I don't quite remember the error (/etc/cron.daily). Hmm, and I'd recommend
KDE (Gnome is a bit buggy still). Good luck.
Sincerely,
Dan Johnson

I spent so many hours trying to debug a stupid login problem. (And

nuts.) The login as a ordinary user works fine before. For some

However, when I su from root twice to another account, the password
