Just taking a quick look at this I think that a step was skipped
somewhere in the kernel process. Go to www.linuxnewbie.com they have a
good kernel compilation process that will walk you thru step by step.
this is within the NHF (newbie help file) area. Try recompiling to the
2.4.0 or 2.4.1 kernel be sure to check the files thoroughly while doing
your make xconfig, otherwise you may find yourself compiling over and
over again. Hope this helps.

DOS and NT4 on disk0, W2K and Linux on disk1. Ran lilo with diskette

bs could (maybe should) be 446. This scheme has worked for several

that is not the issue now.

Good tip, didn't realize that. Would have thought by now MS would have
fixed this; but they own every hard disk that you install their product
on :-) Not OS friendly.

Hmm, I have vmware 2.0.3 and kernel 2.4.0 up and running. What's strange, I
have to recompile the modules now and then. What's more, yesterday vmware
crashed with a NT40 virtual machine when I tried to setup the network. I
put vmware off my priority list for some time.
Good luck

Subject: Problem in upgrading kernel -- can't boot the system with new 2.4.1
Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 01:32:49 +0800
I have successful make install a new 2.4.1 kernel, but the system can't
boot up with this kernel.
So I go to /boot directory to see what happen, I find the file file belong
to kernel 2.4.1 is System.map-2.4.1 and vmlinuz-2.4.1.
About the boot file: vmlinuz is link to vmlinuz-2.4.1, initrd.img is link
to initrd-2.2.17-21mdk.img and System.map is link to
System.map-2.2.17-21mdksecure, so I think the the reason is two:
1) The system can't use initrd-2.2.17-21mdk.img to boot vmlinuz-2.4.1, but
how can I built initrd-2.4.1.img ??
2) I need to link System.map to System.map-2.4.1, but will it cause the
kernel vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdksecure and vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk can't boot up?

On a redhat cdrom you have program 'switchdesk' and
'gnome-switchdesk', install it and run: there u can choose which
environment you like for default.

Subject: USB printer with kernel 2.2.18...
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 10:28:32 -0700
I am trying to set up my epson photo 870 with redhat 7.0. I have built
a new kernel with usb printer support and I have a lpd-o-matic filter
for my printer. In /dev/usb there is an inode
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 Aug 24 03:00 lp0
I used control-panel to add the printer. When I try to start lpd I get
this
Starting lpd: Warning - lp: cannot open lp device '/dev/usb/lp0' - No
such device
So it seems like the kernel isn't recognizing the device at boot up.
Has anyone gotten a usb printer to work? If so what did you have to
do. This seems like a generic problem which has nothing to do with the
specific printer. Thanks in advance...
