Kernel source, about 100 MBytes.
Compressed, about 20 MBytes.
Kernel binary on my machines runs about 600kbytes.

Subject: Linux hangs....very strange
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 17:48:38 +0200
I'm running RH7 kernel 2.4.0 on an AMD Duron. Everything works fine, but
sometimes, during normal use my box hangs 100%. Meaning that, XMMS stops
playing, mouse doesn't react, hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL/CTLR+ALT+BS has no
effect. Caps/Scroll/Numlock doesn't react either. All I can do is
hitting reset and wait for fsck finishing.... Haven't lost any data.
I have found no "system" in what triggers the halt. Im running as normal
user and I'm not using any strange/exotic programs. It has happened only
5 or 6 times over a month so it's rare but damn annoying...
Any tricks to corner down what causes this halt?
All help appreciated...

A possible way to get the NumLock light to go on [doesn't work on my
machine though!]:
In your .xinitrc file, add a line
xset led N
where N is "some" integer between 1, 32 inclusive.
[First try xset led on to turn on all 32, to see if anything lights up]

i need a littie help here. I'm trying to install caldera open linux to
dual boot on my win98 laptop. i have a 3.5G hard drive and 32M of ram. I
dedicated 1G to linux. One big partition for / and another for swap( i
couldn't make an extended partition, no space) i set up the partitions ok
and opted for the medium size (500M) install. and the installition went
along nicely until i try to start it up for the first time. for whatever
reason, during the boot up process it stalls. the first two lies that
appear before it hands are...
INIT: Switching to run level:3
INIT: Sending Process file TERM Signal.
any one have any insight as to what's going on? If i left out any crutial
info i apologize, and i'd be happy to fill it in.
THANKS

I've had the same problem, and it looked like both my network card and
soundcard were on the same IRQ, causing a collision. It often happened
when I received an ICQ message and disabling sound there reduced the
occurrences. Setting PnP enabled OS to 'yes' solved it.
Check your /proc/interrupts to see if that _is_ the problem.

When you created two partitions in the place of the one you
deleted you changed the partition numbering and now the kernel
can't find the "/" partition (this is hard-coded into the kernel,
as is the location of the swap partition). To cure it, you will
need a stand-alone floppy boot disk like "Tom's boot/root disk"
(available on the web). Boot from this disk set and then run
"rdev" against your kernel to change the hard-coded locations for
the root and swap filesystems.

Yes, PMMAIL is an excellent mail client. I've been using it in
OS/2 for many years now. I have heard some people say they have
gotten PMMAIL/2000 to work under wine but I haven't tried it
myself. I haven't seen anything quite like PMMAIL in linux, but
ther are many very capable mail clients available for linux; eg
mutt, pine, arrow, TkRat, etc. Another option may be a
java-based mail client such as Polarbar (based on the old JStreet
mailer that succeeded OS/2's PostRoad Mail). Polarbar looks a
good deal like PMMAIL and there are many OS/2 users. I think
somebody has written or is writting a PMMAIL=>Polarbar conversion
utility. My son uses Polarbar on his computer and it runs fine
in Win98, OS/2 and linux for him. Check out
http://www.polarbar.org if you're interested.

I fixed that problem by running linux root=/dev/hda5. This worked and I
cud get the system up and running. I then used fdisk under dos to create
the logical drive on the FAT32 patition. Unfortunately this seems to have
messed up my entire system 'coz when I rebooted Windows says all my FAT32
partitions on the logical drive are not formatted and it looks like I've
lost all files in them. Also when I reboot under linux I get the folowing
error after a few initial messages
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found. try passing init= option to kernel
Could you please tell me how I can go about recovering my linux and
windows partitions.
Thanx for your time. I appreciate it very much.

Hi!
In a c++ programme I wish to read the keyboard. More precisely I
want to make a command in a loop, that does like std::cin>>, but instead
of stopping and waiting for a line and [return] I want the loop to be
continued unaffected until sombody presses, say "s".
I was told it really was a cuestion about the os - although I dont
really know why. I use RH 6.2 and g++ to compile. Maybe one of you
know...
