Continuing....
I've worked through that last error (I had made a copy of the .config
file, and after the last make mrproper, I merely copied the backup to
.config, not knowing that I had to run make xconfig again to generate
other files).
My current error (during make dep) seems to be a well known one, judging
by the hits on spinlock_t on google, but I haven't found a fix in
looking through the postings linked through there.
Any help is appreciated. I presume that all these postings are probably
a good illustration of the process of learning to compile the kernel for
someone who's been working with linux in a departmental server
environment for several months, but who is now trying to learn a bit
more.

Important addition note to the AT/IDE hard drive boot selector switch: To be
able switching without changing the BIOS setting, two *identical* drives
(same geometry!) are necessary or a modern BIOS which supports "Auto" for
auto detection.
Both drives must be on the same cable => only "hda"/hdb" pairing is
possible, *not* "hda"/"hdc" or something else.

Format the new partition and mount it at /mnt then run this script.
#!/bin/sh
# Create a complete backup of / on /mnt
cp -p /* /mnt
mkdir /mnt/cdr /mnt/cdrom /mnt/mnt /mnt/proc /mnt/tmp
chmod 1777 /mnt/tmp
mkdir /mnt/bin /mnt/boot /mnt/dev /mnt/etc /mnt/home /mnt/lib /mnt/opt\
/mnt/root /mnt/sbin /mnt/usr /mnt/var
(cd /bin && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/bin && tar xvfp -)
(cd /boot && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/boot && tar xvfp -)
(cd /dev && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/dev && tar xvfp -)
(cd /etc && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/etc && tar xvfp -)
(cd /home && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/home && tar xvfp -)
(cd /lib && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/lib && tar xvfp -)
(cd /opt && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/opt && tar xvfp -)
(cd /root && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/root && tar xvfp -)
(cd /sbin && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/sbin && tar xvfp -)
(cd /usr && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/usr && tar xvfp -)
(cd /var && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/var && tar xvfp -)
Make sure that gets all your directories. Then edit /mnt/etc/fstab and
replace /dev/hda1 with /dev/hdb1 for the root partition.
Now copy your kernel to a floppy. The kernel should be /vmlinuz
or /boot/vmlinuz.
cat /vmlinuz > /dev/fd0
Make the kernel floppy point to the new root device.
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hdb1
This kernel floppy should now boot you to your new partition. Then edit
/etc/lilo.conf, replacing /dev/hda1 with /dev/hdb1 for the location of
the root partition and run "lilo" from the command prompt.

Hi,
I have just checked the linux kernel site and found that the development
kernel jumped from the version 2.3.51 to 2.3.99pre1. Is not this pretty
strange thing to do?
Any comment?

'uptime' gives a quick look at load averages over time. If it gets much
higher than 1.00 on a single processor machine, you may have a runaway
process (like closing X without closing Netscape). You can comfortably
run at 1.00 if you are running something of lower priority in the
background (like SETI@home). But not enough RAM (swap to disk) can slow
you down if processes are too big, regardless of load ave.
'top' shows you that in real time and which processes are using the most
cpu time.
'ps aux' is also helpful, but some processes are multithreaded so it is
sometimes difficult to determine actual memory use.

Subject: -hosts.deny- how does it deny? how do IPpackets move internally?
Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 15:53:13 GMT
i posted this about two days ago, but still can't see it on my (crappy)
nntp-server. i am assuming it got lost along the way. now i post it from
deja. so if it appears twice, i am sorry.
======================================================================
hello!
as a test i put this line in my hosts.deny file:
ALL : ALL
it's supposed to deny all hosts on all ports, right?
but i can still browse the web, login on a ftp and use my icq.
so some info obviously gets to my computer. the html pages, the
icq-messages and so on.
so how does the deny-thing work?
i guess it's a client/server thing. is it?
i figure that it denys connections to servers on my computer (ie
apache and such), but doesn't care about info sent to clients that I
use on MY computer.
is that right?
i have read the manpage for hosts.access but it didn't explain this.
i want to understand this thoroughly.
first i thought that the computer simply looked at the IPnumbers on
the packets sent to me and immediately dropped them if they weren't
allowed in those files. but that's not the case.
so i wonder, when does my computer take action in dropping those
"denyed" packets? and based on what criteria?
and which daemon handles all this?
is that daemon the first one to take a look at IP packets arriving to
my computer?
btw... how does a IPpacket get handled in a linux system? i mean, how
does it move through the system (which programs/daemons/processes
"route" it) before it reaches it's final destination?
geez. a lot of questions. but i'm really curious about this.
furthermore i wonder this. is it common to log connections via the
hosts.* files? i read i can specify commands to be executed when
criterias are met in those files. this means i could have those
commands append a line of info (remote host/user, time and such) to
some logfile, right? is this possible?
i know (i think:)) most services on my computer already have their own
logging going on, but i still want to know.
would this be a good way?
thanks in adv.

You don't say which Linux? I used to have fdisk in an old distro that did
not show any logical partitions (loads of fun).

The types are whatever you make them, which you can easily do with fdisk
now. See if it will let you change the type of hda9. You should probably
also toggle the DOS flag (off) so Win95 does not get confused. But Win95
is not too bright about removed equipment, so you probably also have to
remove the devices for those drives in it.

It's a pre-release for 2.4

Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 10:23:24 -0500
I am running RH 6.0 on my compaq 5035 machine but I have problem with
apm. There is a button in front of machine, it
works under win98 - ie. when you press it, the machine will sleep, press
again, the machine will wake up.
But for linux, press the button will hang the machine. Any suggestions?
If I will compile the kernel, how do I know whether
my machine's RTC store time in GMT or not?
Thanks,
james

I went through this problem over a year ago. I'm using all my IRQs in
my main machine now. What I did was not at all elegant or fun. I
don't remember the exact details, but it had to do with turning off
PnP in the bios settings, fiddling with IRQs and turning it on again
in order to force each PnP device (two NICs (3Com), video, AWE64) to
pick a unique IRQ.
My guess is that your eth0 has picked up on the video IRQ, if it is a
PCI card. Windows won't report which IRQ is used by video and won't
report a conflict. Windows allows IRQ sharing on the PCI bus. This
is a feature of PCI that Linux does not yet seem to support.
Life got a lot easier with the 2.2.x kernels as well. The network
drivers have improved.

Check with Red Hat. It may be included as an option. SuSE 6.4 will
have it as an option, but will use the stable XFree by default.
If you are truly brave, you might just grab the source and build it
yourself ;-) I did this last night with the latest GCC. It built and
installed. Now will it build a program that runs?

I might have found this easier to read if you posted in your naitive
language, not that I understand one bleedin' word of it.
Try out SuSE 6.4. It looks like it will be about the easiest to
install and configure Linux yet.
As far as updating the system goes, that can get tricky. My ideal
would be a shell script that I can run that would fetch the latest
sources, build them, and install them. Kernel and libc updates would
of course require a reboot. SuSE distros do know how to do an
update. If SuSE is too hard for the average person, then the average
person should not be a sys admin.
Linux development moves too quickly to try and chase all the updates.
I'm not into doing that anymore. It means forever configuring the
system when it is already working and ready to do stuff.
