I have done precisely this when Partition Magic hosed my hard drive. I
don't think I used anything other than 'tar cf' to back it up. I did,
however, use the Windows95 boot disk to set up the windows partition and
FAT32 file system--and I also did a minimal windows installation AFTER
partitioning and BEFORE doing the 'tar xf'. So this may be the key to
preserving file permissions, since tar doesn't know about FAT
permissions. The system has worked flawlessly (well, as flawless as
win98 can possibly be).
Windows is picky about booting, so I'd try creating the windows
partition and file system with windows tools.

Sorr to harp on this, but I'm just trying to be thorough and
not miss anything. When you say "both ends of the SCSI chain
are terminated", exactly how are they terminated? Does the
drive itself have termination, or are you using an external
termination on the cable? Normally, the controller card
acts as the termination on that end of the cable, and you
only terminate the far end, either with the last drive in
the chain or else with a separate termination. Can you provide
more details?
If this doesn't turn up a clue to the problem, then I'm afraid
I'm stumped.

Well, I guess I'd expect that, as you indicated that you were
having trouble partitioning the drive.
I suppose it's possible that you simply have a bad drive. Did
you just purchase it, or is it one you've had around for a
while? If it's new, maybe you can swap it for another one?

You probably have some bogus HTML message in your ~/nsmail/Inbox file which

About the only reason you have to reboot a Linux system is if you build and

Well, there is vmware (www.vmware.com, commercial) ,which emulates a

There is the free plex86 project ( IIRC www.plex86.org). However i don't

My answer for Progeny was to add an entry for the card to
/etc/pcmcia/config. The required information for the 'version' line I
got from 'cardctl ident'. Restart the system and the card is recognized
(I understand that I could kill some process that would reread the
config file, but I forgot what that process was and restarting was most
expedient).
I never got an answer for Stormix, because it ships without a
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts file, and I can't invent one that satisfies it.
Neither can I get its graphical configurer SAS to do this job, and I
couldn't find another configuration program to do that job.

You should have had no problem whatever with booting the system after the
install. What motherboard are you using? I have MSI K7T Pro2-A with the
same South Bridge and had no difficulty whatever, although I am now using
the SGI-XFS kernel. Before installing XFS I had standard RedHat-7.1
running OK on this system.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm sure there is a very simple solution to this, but I just can't seem
to figure it out. I am trying to compile kernel 2.4.5 for my RH7.1
system. I have done all the steps I normally do to compile a kernel (I
have done this repeatedly for several RH distributions without a problem,
so its not like I don't know what I'm doing).
I downloaded the kernel source, untarred it to /usr/src/linux, cd'd to
linux, make mrproper, make xconfig, spent 30 minutes making sure every
setting is how I want it, saved configuration and exited, make dep, make
clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, moved the
kernel from arch/i386/blah blah... to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5-source, moved
System.map to /boot, removed the old symlinks and created new symlinks
for vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.5-source; System.map -> System.map-2.4.5,
edited /etc/lilo.conf, ran lilo, and rebooted.
The weird thing is, the system continually boots into the old stock RH
2.4.2-2 kernel, never even attempting to boot my newly compiled kernel.
Here is my /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hde6
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5-source
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hde6
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=linux-safe
read-only
root=/dev/hde6
I have tried using both the actual file /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5-source and
the symlink /boot/vmlinuz, and neither work. It just keeps happily
loading the old kernel, and I have no idea why. I have the following
rpms installed:
[meeko@meeko meeko]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-source-2.4.2-2
kernel-headers-2.4.2-2
kernel-2.4.2-2
Should I rpm -e kernel-*? That sounds kinda dangerous, so I don't want
to do it unless I know I should.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I'd like to use my new
customized kernel, but Red Hat doesn't seem to want to use it, no matter
how much I try to tell it to. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
