Newbie to Linux, I'm experiencing random hangs during installation file copy
from CDROM or subsequent boot (yes, finally I partitioned and installed all
the stuff!). Resetting the machine or switching to interactive mode, I am
able to get the system up. Is the SCSI i/f the best choice for such fast
CPU? Thanks Dino

Subject: Getting NIC to work with MUlinux
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 11:38:06 -0400
I am trying to get my NIC to work with MUlinux. My nic is a AMD 79C970.
I am trying to get it to work with MUlinux (a small distro of linux that
runs off a floppy disk). Here is what MUlinux says i have to do to get a
module(i am assuming that is what the NIC driver is, a module) to work:
14.2 Modules
The root partition resides on the floppy, split into two parts (see
section What happens at boot time?): The first part (ROOT) just contains
the directory
structure (/bin, /lib, etc.)
The first thing to do if you want to build a custom muLinux is to unpack
the BOOT,ROOT,USR and X11 images with the command mu -u. It will unpack
the
BOOT partition under subdirectory tree/startup and ROOT+USR+X11 under
subdirectory tree/.
Now, add, wipe, replace commands as you like. <---HOW DO I DO THIS?
If you want to change the kernel, compile it with make zImage and copy
it under tree/startup/boot/mulinuz. The necessary modules must be
gzipped
and copied in tree/startup/modules/archive.tbz (see
tree/startup/modules/README, for details).
It is often necessary to specify parameters like io, irq and so on when
you load a module. If your X.o module needs extra parameters just write
them into
tree/startup/modules/X.param, remembering that muLinux loads modules
with a command equivalent to this
insmod X.o `cat X.param`
Please note that you have to compile ext2, DOS, UMSDOS file-system
support and ramdisk support directly into the kernel because they are
needed at boot
time for UMSDOS muLinux models.
If you look into the mu script you will find a variable called
BOOT_FREE: with it you can tune the free space you want on the BOOT
partition, where all
configurations are saved permanently and where you may want to save you
emails for instance.
and here is what the ethernet howto had to say about my NIC:
AMD 79C970/970A (PCnet-PCI)
Status: Supported, Driver Name: pcnet32
This is the PCnet-PCI -- similar to the PCnet-32, but designed for PCI
bus based systems. Please see the above PCnet-32 information. This means
that you
need to build a kernel with PCI BIOS support enabled. The '970A adds
full duplex support along with some other features to the original '970
design.
Note that the Boca implementation of the 79C970 fails on fast Pentium
machines. This is a hardware problem, as it affects DOS users as well.
See the Boca
section for more details.
I am fairly good at linux, but I have never installed a module before. I
have gotten mtr to work (with slackware, not this one) but beyond that i
havent really doen too much. Im pretty sure I could recompile a kernal
if I had to, so how can I get this nic to work with MUlinux? Thanks in
advance, John.

Hi all,
I installed Hummingbird Exceed and I have a problem :
I can connect on the server but when I type the command 'startx', this
command works... but on the server and not in Exceed !
Has someone one idea to solve this problem ?
Thanks a lot for reading

I upgraded RH6.0 to 6.1. New vesion of usernet works in mystirious ways.
When I click on it it dials. Modem shines as it should. Connection
however is not established and usernet dials again. Only after that
second dial I get a connection. Any way to fix that?

When I got my Dell I7K last August, I immediately partitioned the
drive and installed Linux. I didn't even realize it had a cooling fan
for the CPU till months later when I needed to boot back into WIN98 to
do some stuff that required Windows!
Yes it generally runs a lot cooler in Linux. WIN9x does not issue a
halt to the CPU when idle unlike any other "real" OS.

P.S. Linux does run well on the Dell!

You shouldn't have to recompile the default kernel (it includes it) -- you
only need to worry about this if *you* compiled your own custom
kernel. You are probably making a syntax error in your route statement
(that's the only thing I can think of, anyway--)

This is how I do it though I use a different module and eth card.
First you copy it into the modules.
cp pcnet32.o /lib/modules/x.x.xx/net/
where x.x.xx is your kernel version
Then in /etc/conf.modules add a line like this
alias eth0 pcnet32
Then update depmod
/sbin/depmod -a
Then you need to restart the network
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

Check your /etc/inittab file. You will need to change
the default runlevel from 5 to 3.

Then you should just be able to click the "start interface at boot

Have you considered using packages instead? They are painless by
comparison.
I imagine that you forgot to run ldconfig after installing the new
library. Running `ldconfig -v` will list all installed libraries and
you can track down which version is installed where.

gdm or xdm is run from /etc/inittab for runlevel 5 (which is what you
mean by "X started up automatically")
Did you, by chance, upgrade X11 recently? Is gdm still installed? Do
you get any errors verifying X11?
rpm --verify XFree86
rpm --verify gdm

Some suggestions:
o Go into the BIOS setup on your machine and disable all plug-and-play
hardware.
o Are both the SCSI and Ethernet cards ISA? Can you change jumpers
and/or manually set the IRQ on the new card?
o $35 will get you a brand-new PCI ethernet card. :)

You don't need to do this -- startx only runs a local X server -- you
are already running an X11 server with Exceed. Tell Exceed to allow
connections from your remote machine, then connect to the remote
machine using telnet (or, better yet, ssh) and then on the remote
machine type
export DISPLAY=my.local.machine:0.0
(where my.local.machine is the one running Exceed) and then run some
X11 application like xterm to test it out. If that all works, then
you can start getting more elegant with running the GNOME panel or KDE
menu or whatever you want.
