Subject: modprobe not working in 2.4
I upgraded to 2.4 from 2.2.16 mainly for USB to play with.
I build kernel, USB as modules, and so on.
Get modutils-2.4.1, configure build and install.
Now I boot 2.4, no problems except for can't locate modules ppp, slip.
I try to modprobe usbcore which gives me the 'can't locate module'
error. Huh, its there under /lib/modules/2.4/kernel/usb.
Ok, I try insmod usbcore and it LOADS. A lsmod lists it.
Ok, I do a which and find I am using /sbin/modprobe with the right date,
which is a soft link to insmod. I rm modprobe, execute it and get the
'no command found'. Good, no other modprobe. I then relink modprobe to
insmod and it still FAILS!!!! ofcourse after rmmod usbcore.
So what is the difference in running insmod, which works, and modprobe,
which is a link to insmod, and it fails to locate the module?
In fact, why is there a modprobe command if it is just insmod?

Subject: Unable to access or mount hard drive/floppy drive from Rescue mode
Date: Mon, 05 Feb 2001 02:01:00 GMT
Hi,
I am trying to boot my Red Hat 6.2 system (PIII 450 Mhz, linux kernel
version 2.2.16) into Rescue mode by booting from the floppy drive, without
accessing the hard drive. (This is because when I boot into Rescue mode for
real, I will have just formatted the linux filesystems on the hard drive,
and the root partition will not contain a /etc/fstab file. Hence
all the filesystems, including the root filesystem, will not be able to be
mounted.) FYI, I'm using LILO to dual boot the machine between Win 98 and
Linux; hda1 is FAT32, while hda2 is linux swap and hda3 is linux native
(type 83),
With the Red Hat 6.2 Install CD in the local CD drive and the Red Hat
Install floppy in the floppy drive, I am able to boot into Rescue mode (by
entering "linux rescue" at the "boot:" prompt from the floppy). (Due to
lack of BIOS support, the system cannot be booted directly from the CD.)
My problem is that after I get the bash shell prompt, I am unable to
mount or otherwise access any of the filesystems on my hard drive
(/dev/hda1, /dev/hda3) or the floppy drive (/dev/fd0). In fact, in the
/dev
directory, the /dev/hda1, /dev/hda3 and /dev/fd0 devices don't even exist.
Does anybody know how I can boot into Rescue mode subject to the following
constraints:
- Booting cleanly from the floppy,
- Without accessing the hard drive during the boot process,
- But being able to manually access/mount the hard drive filesystems and the
floppy drive after booting.
Thanks,
Dave J.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
P.S. I also tried using the mkbootdisk command to create a boot floppy.
Booting from this floppy failed (kernel panic error message) when the root
filesystem could not be mounted.

Subject: Problems trying to upgrade my RPM package from RPM3 to RPM4
Date: Mon, 05 Feb 2001 02:01:02 GMT
Hi,
I am trying to upgrade my RPM RPM package to 4.0-4 from 3.0.4-0.48 (the
version of Red RPM included with Red Hat 6.2). I am running Kernel 2.2.16
and Red Hat 6.2 on a 450 Mhz PIII.
What I'm doing is booting into single-user mode (runlevel 3), and executing
the following command:
rpm -U -h -vv rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm
I get the following error message when I do this:
"Only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: package cannot be installed"
Can anybody help?
There must be some way to upgrade this package.
Thanks,
Dave J.

I have used Ghost to copy a 1GB partition to a 4GB partition. There was originally
around 300MB of free space in the 1GB partition. After copying to the 4GB partition,
my Linux can only see this 300MB of free space, i.e. I have lost 3GB of space.
My question is how can I let my Linux aware of the remaining 3GB.

32 MB RAM isn't going to cut it.
Either add 32 more to get total of 64, or give up.

Why not? Lots of commands work that way, even back to msdos, changing
their behaviour according to the name they are called by.
Check for "keep" in modules.conf. And use strace and -v.

I have a P100 with 32MB ram running everything just fine, including X.
(that's slackware 7, though debian 2.2 is also possible).
Come to that, I have a 486sx50 with 8MB ram also doing fine. Also with
X - but it just runs as a terminal. That's slackware 3.0.

There's an intermediate release - 3.05 of rpm that needs to be installed
first. You will also need to redo your rpm database immediately after
the upgrade to 4.x

Obviously, as I've stated.
Evidently, you have unlimited free time (it must be nice!). I certainly
couldn't afford to spend 6 days trying to get a distro installed on a PC
and still not have it in working order. For what I'm paid, it would be
cheaper to simply replace the PC with one that used compatible hardware.
And I value my time off the job even more.
It's funny, though. Your experience with RH mirrors mine with Debian. I've
never had a problem with RH installs, other than the occasional minor
configuration issue. The biggest problem was getting decent documentation,
but that seems to have improved greatly over the past couple of years. I'll
give Debian another shot when their next release becomes available.

Upgrade to rpm-3.0.5-9.6x first then see if you can upgrade to rpm 4.

Ghost seens to be doing the equivalent of dd , and does not understand the
underlying file system.
Solution :
Move the data to a safe place .
Mark the 4 gig partition with the partitioning tool of your choice .
Make a filesystem on the partition.
now mount the partition into a temporary mount point and copy over the files
.

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
