Help is appreciated. Requests for illogical, or pointless information is
not.
Here is what I get when I do "modprobe sg":
"Command not found"
Here is what I get when I do "lsmod":
"Command not found"
Also, I didn't "mess up" my kernel. Everything works perfectly well
except cdrecord. If this means the kernel is f****d up, please inform
Linus.

Are you using LILO???
in my documentation of suse 7.0 they say that its possible that the bios
says something about a virus when you install LILO, cuz it got similar code
in it.
they say to turn off the boot virus checker , then start linux, end linux
and turn on boot virus checker and it should be gone...

I've tried setserial as well. In particular, I use the following line:
setserial -v /dev/ttyS0 port 0x3f8 auto_irq autoconfig
and the response I get is:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Under Windows, my modem is configured for com 1 on irq 4.
Again, to reiterate the problem, the modem only responds to the "AT" command
if I turn it off and back on during a minicom session. If I don't switch the
modem off and on and run minicom for a second time, the modem still does not
respond to the "AT" command.

I installed for my 1st time Red Hat Linux 6.2 on my PC
I used SAMBA for sharing resources with the local net.
I installed a GUI (xsmbrowser) too.
My local net has two address classes.
My Linux-PC has a token ring and an address like 10.10.X.X
Even if I can ping any PC of my net, it seems like Samba
cannot "explore" the addresses like 194.21.5.X.
Is it a NetBios problem ???
Is it a broadcast problem ???
Please, help me.
Thanx a lot,

If you have installed LILO the BIOS could detect it as a boot virus.
A solution is just to turn off the BIOS virus detection, then it should
work.

The problem is that I can't get the modem to respond to the "AT" command
in the first place. I've also tried typing "+++" as you have suggested
but nothing happens. How do you recommend checking for IRQ conflicts?
The Modem-HOWTO says that looking at /proc/interrupts or the output of
setserial will not necessaily provide an indication of a conflict. As I
indicated in a previous post, the output of running the command:
setserial -v /dev/ttyS0 port 0x3f8 auto_irq autoconfig
is
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
which is the same as how my modem is configured under Windows.

you

Subject: Undefined reference
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 08:51:52 GMT
I got an undefined reference to wprintf and swprintf in a library I ported
from Solaris.
In the man pages I read that I need to include <wchar.h> or <stdio.h>.
Problem is, if I try to find the reference of these functions in an include
file, I can't find them.
I thought the functions would be included in libc, but if I try to find a
reference of them in any library using the command
"grep -l function_name /usr/lib/lib* /lib/lib* /usr/X11R6/lib/lib*", I get
nothing as a result.
Can anyone help? (If there is a man page about wprintf, it must exist,
doesn't it. My only problem is where to find it!)

Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 09:13:15 GMT
hmmm,
the bios restriction is really no problem for linux once it is running. it
will only bother you when linux boots. the linux boot partition has to
reside below cylinder 1024 if i'm not mistaken. all other partitions (swap,
root, etc.) can live anywhere you like on the disk.
i have redhat myself (6.0) and it didn't force me to do anything. redhat
uses diskdruid to let you choose the partitions where you want to install
your stuff. just make sure you create your /boot partition below cylinder
1024 of your harddisk.
maybe you should try and get some support on diskdruid or read it's manual
thouroughly.
it would be interesting to see the error message you get though.
good luck

It sounds like the linux root (/) partition goes past cyl 1024, which will
not work with most lilo versions (only the lastest, I believe). You can
replace lilo with a self-compiled version, recreate linux and try using
a separate /boot partition and keeping it below 1024, boot with a floppy
and live with it, or, my preferred method, boot with a DO$ disk and type
format c:
Then install linux on the drive.
Using a boot disk with the root partition going past 1024 will continue
to work. Only lilo has the cylinder problem.
