With mixed SCSI and IDE, are you sure both drives are accessible from the
BIOS? If they are, you may need:
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x80
disk/dev/sda
bios=0x81
in lilo.conf to tell lilo what drive is associated with which bios code.

Hello,
My linuxppc 2.2.15pre3 kernel hangs on boot after
remounting root filesystem read/write [OK]

Does anyone have any idea where to go with this? Any help would be

Hello,
Just make sure that the line in your crontab file has standard output piped to
/dev/null. The default behaviour of cron is to email you all output produced,
but if you pipe it to /dev/null, nothing other than standard error will be
produced.
Good luck.

The lilo is there. it is redhat 6.1 linux system
If I just let it boot from hd, it will stop after the root file mount.
It tried linux single after lilo. it does not work.
I make a bootdisk from another llinux system by mkbootdisk, the lilo come
out also, but it ask me about rescue disk, which I do not have.

Hi Lonni
I always try to go to deja.com to find my Linux solution, but because I
am not very familiar with its search engine, many time I got huge amount of
results and is very difficult to go through each of them. That is the
reason I post this in here. It does related to Linux discussion indirectly.

WTF? Someone at the office has been burning CD-ROMs of 6.2 and hasn't
had any trouble. Maybe RH doesn't have the capacity to handle the load
right after an announcement, but they can certainly handle it in
between announcements, at least with the help of the mirror sites.

Subject: Bandwidth Limiter...
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 21:03:03 -0000
I have a somewhat off-the-wall question:
Is it possible to *limit* bandwidth on an EtherNet connection? It
occurs to me that using a Linux box with two NIC's could be used,
somehow, but I am not sure how to set it up to provide specific
bandwidth limitations (other than a somewhat gross hack by the choice of
processor and memory -- I.e. a 486SX33 for really low bandwidth, a
486DX-2 66 for a bit better, a P100, then a P133, etc.).
Also, is it possible to use this sort of system to *meter* bandwidth?

I don't remember having sources to CP/M. The versions I used

Subject: Partitioning.....
Greetings all. I'm trying to install a Linux on my system, and it seems
that the first thing I need to do is to partition my disk. I have 7.5GB,
and about 3.5GB free. What I hope to do is make the last 1.5GB or so
into a logical partition, and install Linux on it, and only boot to
Linux through a boot-disk. Is this possible? How can I partition my
drive in this manner without destroying my data, or killing the 32bit
FAT?
Thanks,
