Try:

I'm surprised it compiled.

Subject: Ipppd problem

Hi, I'm relatively new to the world of Linux. I just installed and
configured my first system, and everything is working, after endless
fiddling and learning. Just one thing has got me completetly stumped. I
am in a position where I must put some code in the ip-up.local and
ip-down.local scripts, which get called by ip-up and ip-down
respectively whenever ipppd sets up my internet connection or takes it
down. In theory at least. It turns out my ip-up script gets called, and
in turn calls ip-up.local (I have Red Hat 6.2 installed) which then
outputs the current dynamic ip address, just to check the script. On the
other hand, neither ip-down nor consequently ip-down.local get called
whenever the guy hangs up. It is frustrating, as I depend on this script
to reestablish a default route into the internet which should get
autodialed whenever a packet wishes to get into the internet.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thx in advance...
Max

Have you done 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'?

Not knowing (you didn't post them) what commands you have entered to
make your new kernel makes it hard to help. So, I'll just try to explain
what I do to see if this helps.

After installing RedHat and the Source in /usr/src/linux (which is
usually a link to the kernel version you are building) I decide whether
I want to replace the existing kernel or make a new test kernel. I
usually do the later and after testing it satisfactorily I set it up to
be the primary boot kernel later. If I am making a new test kernel I
edit the .Makefile and add something like ".1" or "-1" which will make a
kernel that will install next to the kernel I currently boot. I then
execute the following as root from the /usr/src/linux dir:

1) make mrproper  <---gets rid of everything not needed including the
old config file.
2) cd into the configs dir and cp the base config file for my machine
into /usr/src/linux/.config (cd back into /usr/src/linux when done).
3) make xconfig   <---since the config file has all the default Red Hat
config all I need to do is modify the configuration for my SCSI and
ethernet which I usually put into the kernel instead of making them
modules. NOTE - I do not have a dual eth machine so I don't know if you
should build in two different eth drivers but i don't see why not.

After you close and save off the new config file, you must:

4) make dep  <---make the dependencies.
5) make clean  <--- I'm not sure if this is required but it always works
for me.
6) make zImage or bzImage  <---usually a bzImage as the default Red Hat
config makes a large kernel.
7) make modules  <------ must be run since the default Red Hat config
contains lots of modules which I use like the sound driver, zip ppa
driver, etc.
8) make modules_install  <----- here is where it gets interesting.
Notice above I modified the .Makefile. This will cause a new directory
and modules set to be put into /lib/modules/<kernel version>. If you
don't change the Version number you are making (in the .Makefile) then
you *must* move the old modules out of the way before you do the "make
modules_install" or it will look as if it is doing what you want but it
will, in fact, not install anything.  This is the default behaviour and
the probable cause of all your module problems.  In other words your
modules do not match your kernel and they must.
9) If everything builds OK IE: good exit code, I then edit the
/etc/lilo.conf file to have an entry for the new kernel I am going to
install. This is usually vmlinuz-<version> for me. YMMV. To keep it easy
to remember I usually make sure that the .Makefile is one version more
than what is currently being booted in /etc/lilo.conf.  This makes sure
I don't make typo mistakes.
10) make install  <--- this will scan through the last build directories
verifying that everything got made, install the new kernel into the
/boot dir and run /sbin/lilo for you making sure that everything is
ready for the next reboot.
11) reboot and at the lilo prompt, enter the tag name (what you labeled
your new kernel in /etc/lilo.conf) of the new kernel. I usually use
linux_new until I have tested that all is well and then later install it
as the default Linux kernel to boot.
 
I hope this helps you and others as I have seen a lot of posts about
kernel building and I want to try to help if I can. BTW Every thing I
have listed above is mentioned in  either HowTos or the kernel readme
that Linus keeps up to date and it should all be required reading before
anyone starts to build there own new kernel.

Ciao,  Roger A.

You really should just get the latest sblive driver snapshot from the
Creative site:

http://opensource.creative.com

I don't think you need to force settings; the driver is written by Creative
for the sblive.

It is very fast to install.  Just follow their instructions.

While you have the source and docs, you can probably answer your question
about forcing settings (I don't have them right now, or I'd try to see
myself)

I had some problems with garbled sounds with the driver that shipped with
RH6.2.  Upgrading the driver fixed the problem.  That's why I think this may
be relevant for you too.

From: "Kenneth Lafond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Name Resolution Problem
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 14:55:52 -0700

I've got 2 Red Hat workstation installations that seem to be having name
resolution problems.  When I try to ftp to these workstations, the client
says it is connected, then it takes about 2-5 minutes for the prompt to
appear asking for a user name.  I can ping out, but it takes about a minute
to return the first successful ping and a good minute or two between each
successive successful ping. It's not just that the DNS isn't configured
correctly, because dnsquery works just fine (quickly and accurately) using
the command 'dnsquery <hostname>' so I know the default DNS server is being
used - although nslookup doesn't work (server times out after 2 mins).

My nsswitch.conf file has files then DNS in the hosts search path, and my
resolv.conf has search <domain> and nameserver <nameserver IP> as it's two
lines.  I think this is correct.

I think it has to do with name resolution because if I enter the host I am
trying to access into the hosts file manually it pings, ftps, etc just fine.

If the host I am trying to access is NOT in the hosts table then I get the
following results:
    ping hostname   (VERY slow and drops 99% of packets)

but if I
    ping -n hostname (works just great).
The -n option tells it not to look up symbolic names for host addresses.

I'm trying to get this computer up as an ftp server so simply using the -n
option to ping isn't a solution.  Sorry about the long-winded message but I
wanted to include all the details.  Any ideas on why it is behaving this
way?

Thanks,
Ken
