RedHat is supposedly testing the 2.4 Kernel for relase as we speak. I can
only assume if they are going to release it (RPM'ed) as an upgrade that the
plan would be to utilize it in 7.x.

You probably need to change your /etc/conf.modules ( or modules.conf) file to
load the correct module for your new card. look for line with
scsi_host_adapter.

Subject: linux 2.4.0 cannot mount root filesystem

Hi,
I compiled the kernel 2.4.0. Yes I have modutils 2.4.1.
When I try to boot with the kernel it says something like Kernel

like that. I did not compile in automounter or NFS modules. Is that
ok?
Anyone familiar with this? Here is my LILO.CONF... is it wrong?

Thanks. I got PMFirewall. It's so easy to install, but I haven't tested
it yet to make sure it's working. Quick question: Let's say the
firewall is configured to block port 21 completely. Would that prevent
me from FTPing? I know that would *probably* prevent any computer on my
network from doing that, but what about the firewall computer itself?

I ran X with Red Hat 4.1 on an AMD K5-75 with 8 MB RAM.
So it *is possible* but you access swap almost constantly.
More accurate to say it crawled than ran. After I increased RAM
to 16MB, it was a much more tolerable experience.

I have no problems with it.
That error message does look familiar, but it's been years

I use procmail. Not only can you use it to handle unwanted
mail, but you can also use it to direct certain kinds of mail
to special directories, as well as setting it up as a "vacation
mail answerer" if it's running wherever you have your mail
delivered.

Usually
libc.so.6
is a
link,
use
the
-la
option
with
ls. If
it is
a link
to an
older
version
of
libc-2.x.x
then
you
would
get
this
error.
This
is why
it
works
on the

You

want,
I have

on

and
2.4.0
on
others.
Usually
when

try using the Xconfigurator command you can set you card and monitor from
there you may also be able to set your screen size and resolution. Also try
going into xwin and seeing if you can find a proporties box and see if that

You can run "make install". This will run the script to perform all
tasks needed to install your new kernel automatically. It will copy
your vmlinuz into /boot directory, create new Systerm.map file, and
update all the symlinks. It will also run lilo at the end, so make
sure you install your modules, create initrd.img file (if you have
scsi devices), and edit your lilo.conf file as needed. Don't rush to
delete your older kernels -- the 2.4.0 release kernel should still be
considered the bleeding edge and much of the older software will not
run safely on it. You may find it useful to keep three kernels
available: generic, stable, and test versions.

The REJECT is from 24.43.3.1 to 224.0.0.1
^^^^ ^^^
224.0.0.1 is the multicast address
You will have to allow this
First I would do
# /sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev $extint
Then check your output rules.

This question is for all linuces, so I redirected the thread to a more
central newsgroup.
Open a terminal (bash, xterm, etc.). 'cd' to the folder where you dropped
the tarball.
The short list (also works for *.tar.gz):
tar fxvz something.tgz
cd something
./configure --help | more
./configure --options
make
su # become root
make install
But you'd better also learn what each of these commands do, and read the
documentation of whatever you are expanding.
If you have the up-and-coming *.tar.bz2 format, start with...
bunzip2 something.tar.bz
tar fxv something.tar
bzip2 something.tar
...
The last line saves some disk space.

One good way is SNMP, it's a little involved but works well. You
could get the latest version of ucd-snmp from sourceforge and spend a
day or two reading and setting up the snmpd.
grep with the cron daemon works well, just grep ps and mail/page to user
the results if the ones you are looking for go down/up, depending
on requirements.
Just a couple of quick suggestions.

Hi, everyone, i am a coplete newbie for Linux and encounter problem when i
configure my ethernet card. I cannot connnect to the net using RH7.0, which
i downloaded from redhat.com recently, and my card is D-Link DFE-538TX
Adapter. During the istallation, it did not ruquire my to cofigure network
setting( i think it cannot recognize the card). When it boots, i notice
there is a line show that check "eth0" is failed, after logging on as root,
i run # ifconfig, what i fget is justs "lo", no inoformation about "eth0". I
try to configure it by myself, unfortunately, when i run # ifconfig eh0
......, no matter what i input, it tells me that "the device does not exit".
I also try to do it using "netcfg" in GNOME, ha, i can set my IP address at
eth0 and netmask and so on, but there is no information about eth0 when i
check with "ifconfig", and i get the same message that check eth0 failed at
boot.
According to a mailing list, the latest driver for D-Link DFE538TX is
rtl8139.o, and it is available in RH kernel, so what can i do now?
Thanks and regards!
BTW: My pc is dual system: RH7.0 and Windows2000 and the Ethernet card work
well under windows2000
