This is a service offered to you for free by Windows. When you install
Windows you are clearly installing a superior operating system, and
there is not reason why youwould want to boot up anything else, so
Windows removes all other boot loaders for you. Write a thank you card
to Microsoft for their kind concern for your welfare.
iThen, if you really want to use lilo again ( you need to be punished)
you need to either use that boot disk you made when you installed linux,
or use the installation for RH to get lilo going again.
Once you have done that, make sure tht you have a boot disk, or at least
a lilo on a floppy
(run
lilo -b /dev/fd0
to put your LILO onto a floppy which you can then use to rescue yourself
from Microsft's ministrtions.

Thanks for your reply.
I suppose I *could* ignore it if my system was powered on continuously,
but it's not and I would be pretty stupid not to realize that I now have
to login twice to get ppp to work.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this is something I should
be posting on c.o.l.security because if a login/logout as root enables a
user access to ppp, what other 'magic' might be worked?
As far as upgrading, I do plan to do that in the not too distant future.
Since kernel 2.4.0-test1 is downloadable now, I thought I'd wait until a
major distribution based on 2.4 is available.

CTRL-ALT-DEL is a reasonably safe way to shut down Linux, It may not be
necessary most of the time but CTRL-ALT-DEL should cleanly shutdown a linux
system unless it is configured to do otherwise. (I have my server here set
up to ignore ctrl-alt-del reboots as I should be the only one issuing
requests to reboot it).
To return to a standard console use CTRL-ALT-F1 or any other Fn key up to 6.
F7+ are generally used for X servers.
It's a bit odd that resetting would prevent your Display Manager
(xdm/kdm/gdm) from working. Which particular distribution are you using?
>From your config tool set your system to boot into a RunLevel which only

Safe to say your system should be totally fine. A little tweaking may be
needed but you don't have to reinstall the whole system as Win people have
to do.

Subject: Compaq Presario 1200XL soundboard/modem problems
Date: 25 Jun 2000 21:23:00 GMT
I bought a Compaq Presario 1200XL 119 notebook
a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to install Corel
Linux, since it's my favorite distribution, but the
installer does not handle my graphics adapter well. :-(
I went to the Corel website, registered my Corel
software and left a support question. They NEVER
answered my question -- never acknowledged that I'd
left it. I'm told that this is typical and that
Corel is known for lousy support. Wish I'd known. :-(
I called Compaq support, to ask what type of devices
are in this notebook and what distribution of Linux was
recommended. The support person was aghast that I'd
wiped out Win98 and was planning to install Linux on it. ;-)
He told me he didn't know what the video adpater is (likewise
modem & sound) and that he couldn't support me, since I was
going to run Linux on it and that's NOT a supported configuration.
So much for Compaq support..... ;-)
So, although I wanted a debian kernel, I've gone on to
install SuSE 6.4 on it and it installed beautifully, but
the sound board and modem are not recognized.
The built in sound board is a:
VIA Technologies, Inc. -- VT82Cxxx -- Apollo.
I need an object module, *.o file, for this soundboard,
so that I can update the /etc/modules.conf file.
Any suggestions about where to find one and how to configure
this particular model?
The built in modem is a: Lucent 56kb WinModem.
I'm told modem help can be found at
http://www.linmodems.org/ has the answer.
It's binary-only; provided, but unsupported by Lucent.
http://www.linmodems.org/linux568.zip
Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for the reply and the diagnosis! I beat my head against the wall

Hmm... no special driver? You *must* have a host adapter module, surely!
Anyway, consider the following event-sequence when I try to mount my ZIP
drive on /dev/sda4:
- the kernel sees me access a SCSI disk, and so tries to load the
sd_mod.o driver
- the /lib/modules/x.x.x/modules.dep file says that scsi_mod.o must be
loaded before sd_mod.o
- the pre-install line in my modules.conf says that ppa.o should be
loaded before sd_mod.o too
- modules.dep specifies that scsi_mod.o and the parallel port drivers
must be loaded before ppa.o
Therefore the kernel loads the parallel port drivers and scsi_mod.o,
then loads ppa.o, and finally loads sd_mod.o. The kernel can now do
whatever it needs to do with /dev/sda4.
I remember correctly, the scsi_hostadapter is loaded by scsi_mod.o when
it initialises. Therefore you could alias scsi_hostadapter to whatever
the JAZZ needs in modules.conf and get a similar effect; it should "just
work". However, this would also mean that the auto-loading would fail
unless the scsi_mod.o module was not loaded already. It also prevents
you from getting a real SCSI host adapter, since the correct slot in
your modules.conf file is already taken.
Does any of this help?
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for reading!
I've gotten a bit bored with "localhost.localdomain" the Red Hat 6.1 stuck
me with, so I tried to change it via the hostname command, ie, I typed
"hostname RH6.1".
Then I rebooted, but later when the screensaver (under Gnome 2.1) tried to
run, I got an error about permisisons on screen 0, or something like that.
I tried ignoring it and booting my dialer, but NOTHING would work except
the logout button. So I hit Alt-CTRL-F2 and logged in as root, and changed
the hostname back, rebooted, and for now, all seems ok.
What did I do wrong? How can I change the hostname without messing things
up? Is this really what caused my problem?

Be aware of a gotcha, Jeremy. There's a reason why /root is just a
subdirectory under /, rather than being under /home (often a separate
filesystem) with the other users' home directories. If you boot the
system single-user or with the kernel -b option, other filesystems
will not be mounted. So any files or tools that you've placed in /root
will not be accessible, including .bashrc, .login, etc. You may not even
be able to log in . . .
Just something to be aware of.

OR, you could take the CDROM with your Linux distribution and search it
for loadlin and vmlinuz. Create a directory on your Windoze system called
linux ;-), and copy loadlin and vmlinuz to it. Then reboot Windoze into
dos mode (NOT a dos window) and cd to the linux directory. Type the
following:
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda?
Put the right number after the hda, ie mine is 7 so I put:
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7
Then when I boot Linux this way, login as root and simply type:
/sbin/lilo
Lilo should then be rewritten to the MBR of your harddrive, and you can
then boot Linux normally. Leave loadlin and vmlinuz in place just in case.
You may have to modify your /etc/lilo.conf to boot either Linux or Windoze
(dualboot). I've included mine as an EXAMPLE below. It will boot RH6.1 as
default, or boot Windoze 98 for my wife (really!).
Good luck!

Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 17:50:14 -0500
Hello,
I am using an older Intel 440LX based motherboard with a P2-333, 64megs of
memory, ATI All-In-Wonder Pro, and Plextor 32x CDROM drive.
I have Redhat 6.2 installed on the system without any problem. My friends
mention that Mandrake is a better distribution so I thought I would
try it. I downloaded the iso image of Mandrake 7.1 (Helium) and burned
a CD without problem.
The install program can find the Adaptec 1542cf card but I get the error
message "I could not mount a CD on device /dev/scd0". If I hit OK the
program displays a message about initializing the CD and it just hangs
there. I tried the install from win98 (also on the machine) and boot disk
(as I cannot boot the CD). When I tried text expert install I see the bootup
messages that the driver loaded and it displays the information from the
CD-ROM drive.
There is no problem when mounting under RH 6.2. I tried mounting
manually using /dev/scd0 and it worked.
Is there any way to manually break out or abort the install program
so I can see why the install is failing? It seems if the install
fails I have no recourse to debug or correct it.

There are at least three places where the hotname can be specified as far as
I can remember at the moment: /etc/HOSTNAME, etc/hosts, and
etc/sysconfig/network. Check all three to make syure they have all been
changed.

The card is 3Com HomeConnect 3C450 on IRQ11 I/O Range Dc00-Dc7f.
I have already used netcfg, linuxconfig, control-panel, ifconfig to set it
up. It says that the card is setup successfully but when I try "ifup eth0"
it says "Eth0 initialization delayed" or something like that.
