You may be experiencing a small problem as a result of FAT32, depending
on the version of FIPS that you're using. If your version of FIPS
doesn't support the FAT32 it would have tried it's best (though the
memory allocation error indicates it didn't handle the problem very
well at all!) Chances are your File Allocation Table (FAT) is now
currupt and you likely are going to have to start from scratch. This
may not be true, wait and see if anyone else posts better suggestions
before you blast the drive.
Good Luck!!! /;-)

It is not 100% clear what you have done. It sounds as though you
cannot get your original Win98 partition even though you did not
change it installing in the new drive, and you have put everything
back as it was before. If this is the case it sounds like a hardware
problem. But maybe you have changed something not obvious.
To get a Windows disk visible in Linux, make a directory, say /dosc.
Then use mount -tvfat /dev/hda1 /dosc (assuming the Win partition is
hda1) to see it.
To put Windows boor sector back boot into Windows from a floppy or
whatever and use fdisk /mbr.
I installed Corel using the 'use free space' option and it starts up
with a graphical screen that has Windows as an option.
Check on the disk partitions using fdisk (carefully) in Linux, and/or
check using df (or is it fd?) how much space Linux uses.

No; you just have to do a PIC cascade. In fact, just to get the 15 IRQ
levels of the PC/AT IBM had to do a cascade. I haven't looked, but I
suspect that with the APIC you need fewer levels of cascade.

the point is that the linux loader doesn't FIT on a single sector (512
bytes)
so it writes a 'chain' of sectors to boot from - and is therefore called a
'chain loader'
but - this makes it of the utmost importance that the computer (BIOS / OS /
whatever) translates the CHS info correctly to a linear LBA address, or else
lilo CANNOT load any further sectors on bootup
the solution here is to add the line
linear
to lilo.conf, then run lilo and reboot
this makes the loader assume that it will get linear sector addresses from
the drive, a necessity with LBA drives (and SCSI drives, but then it says
so, but it _doesn't_ say WHY this is so)
so now you know :)

I have a problem with my console screen fonts.
When my systems first boots, the extended ASCII characters (128 through 255)
are what they normally should be (including the line-draw characters).
However, after using SVGATextMode to alter my resolution, another font is
loaded which does not include these characters - the upper 128 are now
filled with 'international' characters, with accents and oomlats (whatever :)
How can I get the normal font back, without rebooting? I've also tried using
consolechars, but cannot find a font file that will work!
Please help - I must absolutely not reboot to fix this problem.

Hi!
My mandrake system got rebooted due to a power outage. Now the system
won't complete booting. LILO starts normally, then it invokes fsck, passes
fsck with an [OK] code, then says "remounting root filesystem in rw mode"
[OK] (yes, it displays OK) and hangs there. Using a boot floppy and rescue
disk I can access the root partition, fsck it manually, checked fstab and
mtab, but they look OK. What gives? How can I save the system? Where to
look?

Hi!
You may also want to check into a program called "anacron". I cannot
recall the specifics offhand, but I do have one box at home that uses
this to run some of the system's scripts. The box in question runs
Mandrake 7.0. Hope this helps.

the most likely problem is that whatever you're using for a bootloader
only has linux listed. If its LILO, then edit /etc/lilo.conf to
refelect the existence of windoze, and then run /sbin/lilo and reboot.

At the single cell level, you may be correct. Still, these organsims
use DNA as a configuration library, and expression and repression as
mechansims for handling changes in their environment. Independent of
where they got their DNA to begin with, they still depend on it. The
power of this mechanism is surely the reason we have no known organisms
that are not based on DNA. (Even RNA based viruses depend on DNA
defined organisms).
The reverse logic is atleast as interesting. With the cost of sex, why
do organisms so frequently rely on sex?

Exactly. And if only *I* could have "sufficiently good" as the basic

Well, what I should say is that sex is the basis for mixing up, and
hopefully improving the feature set in the DNA of living organisms.
Not to be confused with evolution, the development of new features.
The arguement against sex is that we have configurations that are
perfectly fine as they are. There are such systems, but I don't happen
to work with them.

You might have missed the reference to a set of organisms. I am not
aware of any downside to genetic diversity as increased by a larger set
of organisms. There is a definite disadvantage to a large DNA set, if
the streamlined nature of bacteria is any indication. Still, large sets
of organisms are used by bacteria to maintain their genetic diversity,
rather than large DNA. And sex is used to tap that diversity.

The idea is to support an increasing, diverse set of features. Coupled
this set with a mechanism that allows easier evaluation of different
configurations. The goal is not "the best" configuration in some
global sense, but the best configuration for the particular computer
system in question.

No, I don't think Open Source is better at this point. I think it is
clear that more diversity exists, and more diversity is possible with
Open Source, but Open Source is just as limited as any other approach
absent mechanisms for deploying and testing different configurations in
some painless fashion.

I don't know about earlier 2930 scsi controllers, but the normal adaptec driver
supports 2930U scsi controllers used in conjunction with other scsi controllers
(in my case, a builtin 7896 controller). I suspect what is happening is your
2930 is sharing an IRQ with something incompatible. If this is the case, you
might try rotating the card through your PCI slots. Another thought is to
rebuild the kernel, making the adaptec controller builtin into the kernel,
rather than a module. You might also try adding "aic7xxx=verbose" to the boot
line to get more information.

I have PC which runs linux well before when it connected to local network
by ethnet, but after I moved to another place, it can not be booted in
linux model. This probably is because the network IP address or NFS is
different locally from old address.
The question is that I do not have boot disk to start up the linux, so I
can not change the configure file. But without the correct configure file
I can not start up linux from hard disk.
Is there any general bootdisk file I can use to start up my conputer
first, after it works then I can change the tables to the correct address?
or is there any other way to make it works?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
