Enter the CMOS and check for the "memory hole" option. If it is
enabled, disable it. It is only for DOS/Win* . If that's not it,
you do have a hardware problem - either you're running out of
memory or your RAM is bad.

Hi !
Thanks for the help guys, it had something to do with the new
kernel (2.4 test 2), I recompiled with test 1 and everything worked
fine.
You were right about sr0, but it does it automatically when I try and
use scd0
Thanks

Do the various log files tell you anything useful?
Another thing to try might be installing a very minimal Linux
distribution (like Debian's floppy install) to check out the hardware
and try to isolate the problem.

Dear all,
I am running Apache 1.3.12 on RH6.2 but have a little problem.
Apache is not logging at all in access_log but does report in
error_log:
[Thu Jul 6 12:17:01 2000] [crit] (98)Address already in use:
make_sock:could not bind to port 80
This is newly copiled from source so it shouldn't really not work...
Any ideas?

emu10k1 is not, AFAIK in the 2.2.14 sources, get it from
<opensource.creative.com> and build it according to the instructions.
It is being actively worked on, so I tend to hit the site and get the
newest one at least weekly.
I have the rebuild of emu10k1 actually written into my ./makeit script,
similar to the sequence you've outlined above.
I see it is in the 2.4.0-test2 sources, and shows up in a make xconfig,
but I haven't had a chance to test that one yet. YMMV of course.

HI all;
I finally got a kernel-2.4.0-test2 compiled that doesn't kill socks5 due
to an 'unable to bind 0.0.0.0:1080' at startup, so that half of the
conversion is whupped.
But it can't get online because it can't find ppp0. When I go looking
in the drivers/net or drivers/misc, there is no ppp.c or ppp.o to be
found. Is this a known problem, or has this all been changed to
something incompatible with 2.2.15ish stuffs? I do note that pppd has a
new version number in the 2.4.something area.
Repeated passes thru make xconfig are leaving me even more clueless than
usual. The only option seems to be ppp_async, the various compression
schemes and such.

This reply might be abit too late.. but anyway here it how it goes
AFTER a long troublesome days, I figuredout that the command lines on the
inet.cof files point to a tcpd deamon which controls and excute the telnetd
and ftpd commands as required,
upon looking for those commands in /usr/sbin directory, I found out I don't
have anyof those.
So, I am still trying to figure out how to get them. ;<
if you figure it out, give me a yell too..

Subject: Mounting VFAT unpossible (newbie)
Date: Thu, 06 Jul 2000 14:25:15 +0200
Hello to all,
I am new in Linux, so please excuse for any stupid mistakes...
but I have not had success in solving the following VFAT-Mounting
problem:
One partition (/dev/hda8) contains the DATA which has to be accessed
from both, from Win98SE and
from Linux.
So I have chosen the following partitioning done with Linux-fdisk
(Win98SE-fdisk doesn�t
work, it hangs?...) of my 20GB-Seagate-HDD:
Output of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2490 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 byte
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1* 1 1022 8209183+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 1023 2490 11791710 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1023 1023 8001 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 1024 1039 128488+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 1040 1677 5124703+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 1678 2490 6530391 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
By trying to mount /dev/hda8 under /mnt/d (directory exists..) the
following
error occurs:
joshua:/floppy # mount -t vfat /dev/hda8 /mnt/d
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda8,
or too many mounted file systems
As /dev/hda1 is mountable (e.g. under /mnt/c) without any problems I
have
toggled the ID of hda2 (e.g. form 05 to 0f) and the ID of hda8 (e.g.
from 0c to 0b) and
any combination of that... with the result, that
1) hda8 isn�t mountable under Linux (see system error above) in all
cases
2a) "Drive D:" under Win98SE has a size of ~2GB, no data,
2b) "Drive D:" under Win98SE has a size of ~6GB, data reachable (see
partitioning above).
Does anyone has a hint for solving this problem (preferably without
loosing the data on hda8)?
Thanks in advance for help.

Installing windows will overwrite the MBR, so if you have lilo installed
in the MBR, you will not be able to boot lilo from the HDD. So create a
boot disk in linux before you start installing windows (man mkbootdisk).
I also advise you to back up any important data, although you'll
probably ignore this, because installing windows isn't without a risk
for the data on the disc.
But in principle it should be possible, without much problems (execpt
for the MBR part, so MAKE A BOOTDISC!
BTW. you should already have a bootdisc, it's asked during install if
one should be created (in RH that is) and you should always say yes.
Why? because annoying windows virus scanners tend to detect lilo as a
MBR virus, and are really eager in destroying that "virus" , thus
leaving you with a non-bootable system. with such a bootdisk you can
always boot back into linux and restore the MBR with lilo in it.

This is a common misunderstanding. Whatever fdisk returns, has nothing
to do with the actual filesystems on the partitions. You can just as
easily format a NTFS partition with an ext2 FS as with an NTFS without
seeing any difference in the partition table! fdisk in linux does NOT
create a FS on that partition like the DOS fdisk does. That's only
interesting for DOS's that support only one FS (I know iso9660, but I
mean HDD FS's), where the linux user can use many different FS's. I
don't know if this has anything to do with your problem of not being
able to mount an NTFS partition (which does work here), but you have to
realize that checking the listing from fdisk returns no really useful
result for the filesystems on any partition (Although it does provide a
hint).
This is the reason why some people see inaccesible linux-drives from
windows, windows uses the partition table to detect partitions it can
use, but if a linux install didn't change the partition label during the
install, but just formatted it, windows still assumes it can have access
to that partition, "because the partition table says so"

Why not using the fat filesystem? All OS's you mention support that.
(although i heard that NT only supports FAT16, dunno if it's true ?)

I have the same problem; has anyone tried
installing a new
lpd daemon from source or something similar?
Note: I have SuSe 6.4 on i386 and PPC, and it's
the same on
both.

Subject: LILO, Dual-Boot and Dell 410
Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2000 08:43:30 -0400
I'm using a Dell Precision 410 with Win2k as my main boot OS (for now,
installed on Drive 0). I just installed Redhat 6.2 on the second SCSI
Quantum Viking 4.5GB drive. I installed LILO on the root partition in order
to retain the NT boot loader, and then used the Linux+NT-loader mini-HOWTO
instructions to insert Linux boot information into NT's loader so I can
dual-boot Linux.
So far, no luck. NT loader does a bang up job of loading NT, but when I go
to my Linux entry and select that, I get a screen full of "31's," the number
cascades across the screen. I've double-checked my work, and even tried to
use the information from the boot diskette I made when I installed Linux.
But, I can't get LILO to run in this configuration.
I can use the boot floppy I made, but it's just not as fun, and too slow. I
don't think it's a BIOS problem, but I could be wrong.
Has anyone had this same problem? I've used the technique on other
machines, without incident.
Thanks!
