By which I mean, an implementation of "ftp" maintained and released
by the FSF.
$ lftp ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ftp
cd: Access failed: 550 /gnu/ftp: No such file or directory
(lftp is a very nice, GPLed ftp client, but it does not come from
the FSF, and it does not behave like the traditional "ftp" program.)

That's odd. Then why can I boot it off the secondary master drive if I disable
the primary via BIOS? It's still on the IDE1 cable.
Looks like something to try though! Thanks.

Subject: Unable to boot 2.4.2
Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2001 16:29:41 GMT
I'm at my wit's end.
I've compiled and installed many other Linux kernels before and find
the experience completely different with the 2.4 kernels
Compiling is straightforward, but the kernel crashes on booting with
a message that Unix domain sockets are not available.
I most EMPHATICALLY do enable these in the configure step: I'm
very aware of their importance (and see why the kernel wouldn't boot
without them). Why then, does the build script seem to ignore my
selection of options?
I've recompiled this kernel a dozen times without any change in this
problem. At present, I enable almost all of the modules (even ones that
do not correspond to equipment I have) and build and install them.
Yet, I still get this message.
Another truely bizarre problem is that I get a message that the root
device is not set by lilo.
This is bizarre because I just copied the lilo.conf section for my old
kernel and changed the kernel name and label. The lilo.conf code is
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=newlinux
read-only
root=/dev/hdc1
And I definitely DO run lilo before I reboot.
I make bzlilo to build the System.map and then copy the kernel and
Sytem.map to /boot (from /, where bzlilo installs them), and always
rerun lilo.
I use gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)
Is there something wrong with my lilo configuration (something special
that must be done with 2.4 kernels)?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Yep, I also thought so, but... it looks like there appear holes in the
sequence (with time): on one of these 2 machines there is a hole at pts/2,
if, say, you have pts/1 and pts/3, then you close pts/1 and start opening
new ones, they appear in the following order: 1,4,5,6,... - 2 never gets
filled... On the other machine I currently have holes at
pts/1,3,4,6... One machine is SuSE6.4 + 2.4.2 kernel, another one is
SuSE7.0 + 2.2.18... What's interesting, when I had that problem with 2
extra lines in `who`, they were pts/2 and pts/4. At one stage I even had 2
lines with pts/4... Then pts/4 somehow miraculously disappeared... to remove
pts/2 I had to re-create /var/run/wtmp... Now there's no more extra lines
in who - they are quite consistent, but pts/2 is still blocked... Don't
know though how those holes appeared on the other machine...

I recently started getting a lot of these messages in my system logs:
kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
along with the network going down of course. I am using a 2.4.2 smp
kernel on a dual PII system with a ne2k-pci network card/driver. I
searched the web and kernel archives mailing list and saw people with
similar problem going back a year on 2.3.99 kernels, but no real solutions
or replies. Does anyone here know what the problem is, could it be
hardware? The problem seems to be getting worse, since it used to happen
only after a few days/weeks, but now happens after just several hours of
uptime. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As far as i know, 2.96.x is not recommended. I use 2.95.2 and compiled and
run kernel 2.4.2 successful. Did you install the actual modutils ? There are
some requirements in the kernel tree, see README and Documentation/Changes.

Hello,
I found out that init wasn't the problem, I was. I had changed /bin/sh to point to
/sbin/sash, so that I could at least boot the computer
when the system had been messed up. I fixed that problem, fixed my library problem,
and created a new problem. I cannot log
into my computer. I somehow messed up my PAM libraries when I was repairing my
libraries last night, because, when I went to reboot,
after messsing the libraries up again, it complained "You don't exist, Go away!" I
think that I may have to replace PAM with an upgrade,
because it says, when I log in "PAM_unix: user does not exist" or "UID 0 does not
exist" or something like that. Can anyone help me?
Oh, off the topic, I am thinking of upgrading to Debian, that way it is easier to
upgrade my computer and not mess everything up. Does anyone
know of a site where I can find the iso images?
Thanx,
Justin Hibbits

It is documented in the README file that gcc 2.95.* should be used. It is
the latest stable release of gcc. The version supplied with RedHat7 is still
in a development state.

Yes of course. You just need the appropriate kernel SOURCE to compile
against. The running kernel is irrelevant.

Hi
I get these errors on booting during the Partition check:
Partition check:
hda:hda: status error: status=0x01 { Error }
hda: status error: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: drive not ready for command
This is repeated 4 times then continues to boot.
The system works fine, or seems to, I have not noticed any problems although I have
only installed today.
I am using Slackware 4 and I have tried using Debian 2.2 with the same result.
The setup is a 210mb HD, 433M Dell Latitude laptop 4mb RAM - I have tried the 2.5inch
hard disk in another PC with the same result.
Is the hard disk on the way out? Or is this fixable?
Thanks

The problem in this case is that the kernel which ships with redhat 7
appears to have some broken headers which prevent compilation of the
bttv module, so I wanted to compile against a different kernel, but
depmod gives "unresolved symbols" errors if I try this.
BTW, anyone know why redhat messes with the kernel source in the first
place?

In the /Documentation/Changes file it says:
The recommended compiler for the kernel is egcs 1.1.2 (gcc 2.91.66),
and it
should be used when you need absolute stability. You may use gcc
2.95.2
instead if you wish, although it may cause problems.

I just tried compiling and installing 2.4.1 and here is a problem I'm
having:
when trying to start httpd I get a message
Ouch! ap_mm_create(somenumber,"/var/run/mm.somenumber") failed.
Error: MM: mm: core failed to acquire shared memory segment (Function
not implemented): OS: no such file or directoy.
It didn't give this message with a previous version of the kernel.
Any idea what is going on?
TIA

Most linux distributions contain a tool kit with a command line tool called ps2pdf
(under /usr/local/bin on redhat 7) Try man ps2pdf to find out
if_you_have_it/how_it_works I get fairly good results with it. Make sure the fonts in
your ps document are all supported by Ghostscript
