Did you run /sbin/lilo before rebooting? Unless you do this, your
changes to lilo.conf will not be recognized.

hi,
easiest way to fix this problem is to type 'linux 3' at the LILO prompt
then once you're logged in, run Xconfigurator or some variation of it.
Choose all the video settings you wish to use and kill the ones you
don't. If this doesn't work for you then you'll have to edit the
XF86config file by hand (not really that hard at all). Just remark out
the lines you don't want (i.e. something like 320x200 @ 8bit which is
probably what your machine is using now). And leave the ones you want.
Be careful with the monitor refresh rates as it is possible to damage
your monitor if the values are too high. Research your stuff to find out
its capabilities and use that data. I had to manually edit the
XF86Config file for my RH box to get it to show 800x600x24bpp at a
non-headache inducing refresh.
hope this helps and excuse my M$(im at work)

This sounds more like a network security issue than anything else..
It sounds like you need general protection from IP spoofing.
(I hope you don't use services that rely on IP for
authentication.)
Would subnetting be an option?
You could at least guarantee that a particular IP address originates
in the right room, then build squid ACLs by network addrees.
Have a look at linuxdoc, in particular the networking HOWTOs.
Any more help than that counts as consultancy :)

Subject: Sparc64 kernel builds breaking...why?
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2000 17:07:35 GMT
Greetings.
I'm trying to build a new kernel for my UltraSparc5 and I'm not getting
very far. I've currently got a pre-built 2.2.16-3 kernel up and running
and all is well...but alas I want to tweak! I'm using egcs64:
dkreft@weevil:~> rpm -qi egcs64
Name : egcs64 Relocations: (not
relocateable)
Version : 19980921 Vendor: Red Hat Software
Release : 4 Build Date: Mon 17 May 1999
12:46:27 PM PDT

URL : http://egcs.cygnus.com/
Summary : Experimental GNU Compiler System for sparc64
Description :
A compiler aimed at compiling sparc64 kernel. Is not fully capable to
build
64bit userland binaries.
...which is symlinked to /usr/bin/gcc:
dkreft@weevil:~> ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 31 18:03 /usr/bin/gcc ->
/usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc*
But when I try to build, I get a ton of warnings about conflicting types
(small snippet below):
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/string.h:21: warning:
conflicting types for built-in function `strlen'
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/string.h:28: warning:

/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/string.h:32: warning:

And finally wind up with the following:

conmakehash.c

I'm not sure what to do next...documentation on building 64-bit kernels
is rather hard to come by. Has anyone else here successfully built a
64-bit kernel (preferably for Sparc)? I'd be thrilled to know how you
did it.
Thanks a ton in advance.
-dan
p.s. FWIW, when I mistakenly built the kernel with egcs-2.91.66
("normal" egcs--not 64-bit) the build went just fine--it just resulted
in an unusable kernel for my Ultra5.

My token ring card works perfectly using 2.2.16 but when I try to use
2.4-pre.... I get errors inserting the module.
Here is my output
modprobe ibmtr

I have the following in my modules.conf

alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias char-major-107 3dfx

I ran the dos setup utility for the card. (An IBM 16/4 PNP) and set the
values myself. I tried a couple of different ones but they all have the
same effect.
The kernel and modules compile without error and I have ran make
modules_install ;) Any ideas?

Date: 5 Sep 2000 18:14:08 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Has anyone had experience setting up a Raid 1 device after RH6.2 is
installed to the first drive?
e2fsck craps out with superblock/partition table errors on /dev/md5
after mkraid is successful.
I'm tring to setup Raid 1 between 2 ide disks: hda8 & hdc8.
The hard drives are identical, partitioned the same.
hda has a working RedHat 6.2 install, upgraded to the 2.2.16 kernel.
with kernel custom compiled to include Raid 1.
I used the RedHat "linux rescue" CD boot & copied my raidtab into /etc
from a floppy (saved the raidtab from an initial install done to these
drives).
did a:
dd if=/dev/hda8 of=/dev/hdc8
then
issued mkraid /dev/md5 (for hda8 & hdc8)
after 15 min (1 gig partition), /proc/mdstat showed a functional md5
mount -t ext2 /dev/md5 /mnt/test
Worked! - Data was intact from hda8 !
BUT.......
umount /mnt/test
e2fsck /dev/md5 won't work!
Craps out with:
"The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 257032 blocks.
The physical size of the device is 257008 blocks.
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!"
I also tried:
mkraid --really-force /dev/md5
good md5 - e2fsck still gives the same message!
Can anyone tell me how to get /dev/md5's superblock to work with
e2fsck?
raidtab:
[snip md1 to md4 - all same as md5 - all md's are problem with e2fsck]
raiddev /dev/md5
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1
#nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/hda8
raid-disk 0

Hi,
I am interested in collaborating with people
to bring about a Linux-based portable computer
kit. I don't want a palmtop but rather something
larger like a slate or a small laptop. This
project is supposed to be fun, without any
interest in making money. (It is very hard to
make money off of hardware anyway!).
This project is for all of us who would rather
make a new machine rather than modify something
that some company made and who would rather
*take part* in the design process than stand
idly by, waiting for something exciting. This is
a good idea I think and it is after all the
sentiment of Linux itself. The hardware designs
produced would naturally be GPL'd i.e. made free.
The design will be free, board designs will be
free, software will be free. All you will need
to be is buy parts, a generic case from Fry's
or Radio Shack, and build the thing.
I have set up a site with some ideas on it, at
http://linuxslate.tripod.com
Please feel free to visit it. I will add a
message board soon. Until then feel free to
post messages and ideas here or to respond via
email.
Thank you!

The Compaq and others Synaptics Touchpad
jumpy(horrible) mouse problem is not solved
in the 2.2.16 kernel. The Warren Delano
patch still can be applied to partially
fix the problem. Linux *is* usable on
these laptops running X, but it is a poor
system as the Mouse of all things does not
work properly. The kernel people know of
the problem and have for quite a while.
A fix has not happened yet.
I should fix it myself ;) I don't know the
