Stefano,
Before going any further: LILO uses only the BIOS to boot, so it must know
the device codes the BIOS has assigned to your drives.
Mixed IDE and SCSI systems are often a problem, as LILO will not likely know
which drive is 0x80 and which is 0x81.
With the 21.4.3 LILO distribution, do a "make floppy" to produce the
diagnostic disk. You will need to install nasm to be able to do this.
Boot the floppy, and see which disk is which.
Your 'lilo.conf' file may need lines in the global section something like
these:
...
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x81
...
I really can't tell from what you said which disk is 0x80 and which is 0x81.
I don't know if this is the entire problem, but I have heard from a lot of
folks with SCSI / IDE, and the above (or vice versa on the device codes) is
usually the solution.

Using a boot floppy,

With the system up, modify /etc/fstab, /etc/lilo.conf, and re-run lilo.

on it. it has a 2 gig drive of which only a little over 300 megabytes is
used, and 16 megs of RAM. here's current output from top:
9:43pm up 80 days, 4:38, 4 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
44 processes: 41 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

Swap: 66540K av, 1796K used, 64744K free 4832K cached
As you can see there's less than 2 megs of swap in use and its been up
eighty days.
I think using much less than 16 megs would probably result in some
swapping as activity levels went up, but 16 certainly seems to be
plenty for this need. Note that this box is running RH 5.2 (with lots
of services turned off and security updates added). This is an AMD K5
PR133, but it used to be a P90 and it never broke a sweat then either.
I'd guess that a 486/33 or /66 would work nearly as well in a similar
application. Just don't expect it to do any significant processing
other than the network duties. (the only reason I've got that powerful
a processor in it is because the K5/PR133 cranks along in the RC5
contest at a rate of about 2.5 times what the P90 did.)

Hi,
I am running an Aopen 9624 ide burner(re-badged ricoh) with
SCSI
emulation, and am suffering from wierd inconsistencies
regarding
multisession cd's. Sometimes it will read them properly,
sometimes it
will only read the first session. At one stage it was
burning multi, but
not reading its own burns properly!
A reboot will fix this everytime, but a couple of days
later it just
stops reading multi again. Its in a server, so I cant
reboot the machine
that often. This morning it read a multi session cd fine.
A few hours later, after some burns, it read only the first
session on
the same cd.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Then you were told wrong - there is no such support. You can use a regex
map with some custom rules in LOCAL_RULE_0 though (the regexp is
included in the map definition) - see doc/op/op.{me,ps} in the
distribution, and cf/cf/knecht.mc for a regex example (for a different

After doing one of the most stupid things a linux user can do (looking
at the actual manuals, that is), I found out the installation process
already took care of the ppa module. A simple modprobe did the trick
(and an addition to fstab of course).
Will those people at Mandrake stoop at nothing to make our lives

You have a serial port problem then, fix that before worrying about the
palm. But make sure you are testing with the appropriate tools for the
palm ... Those are the pilot-* command line utils. You must have those

Recall, now, that cua0 == DOS COM1 and cua1 == DOS com2. Whether these ports are
enabled from the mbd, or by any other means is irrelevant. How you go about getting
your palm to "play nice" with Linux is going to differ, as a function of what you are
using, and your goals. Some of the GUI tools depend on other software being available
to them, and act as "wrappers" around command line tools. One such tool, is
pilot-link, which I think I got from Tucows. However, I am not sure that the Gnome
desktop even uses that, as it may be coded within. Any of these require a symlink from
/dev/pilot to whereever the cradle is connected. Give us some more info on your
environment, and we may be able to "aim you" in the most efficient direction to
success. At any rate, many thousands of Palms are in daily use with Linux, so you
certainly can put together any one of many environments for it.

Well, the latter formula is sort of a truism: PRICE = COST +
GROSS_PROFIT.
As far as how companies determine price, it is frequently based upon
what they think consumers will pay and not on a simple formula computed
off cost. So IBM's "old" scheme is actually still quite common. Only
when significant competition comes into play does price begin to settle
to some reasonable percentage above cost.
I basically agree with John's assessment in that regard. At Dell, they
want to set a price for a Dell Linux box. They're going to consider
things like the power of the Dell and Linux name-brands separately and
together and set the price accordingly to maximize profit. They have
obviously determined that the Linux box price does not have to undercut
the Windows box price for it to sell. This would be a logical conclusion
since (a) MS is getting bad press lately, and (b) Linux has come into
serious public favor.

Either will work well.
If you use the Linux box as the print server, you would set up TCP/IP
printing services on Win2000.
If you use the Win2000 box as the print server, you could set up Samba
on Linux and print by sharing the printer from Win2000.
Perhaps other points that could influence your decision would be:
* The most convenient physical location of the printer (near the Linux
box, or near the Win2000 box)
* Which box gets used more for other purposes (ie, use the box with the
least utilization as your print server -- not that print server
functions are very burdening to the PC)

I have a serious problem with my DualPIII (Katmai 600) Machine. I use
3x256MB on a Gigabyte 6BXD Board, Matrox G400, 3Com 905B and Redhat 6.2.
The machine hungs almost every second day. In /var/log/messages I have
found this error:

It seem, that the NFS is not able to write the harddisks (ide)
correctly. I use the "old" NFS (2.2beta48) and not the kernel NFS. This
configuration works fine on my singel Pentium machine.
Do u have a hint???
happy hacking....
