I had some success with the 2100 yesterday. The RedHat 6.2 installation
got installed but crashed after a short while. The error message
referred to spinlocks so I assume that the dual-processor aspect was the
trouble. However, the JumpStart CD had a more recent kernel on it
(2.2.16cpq). Installing that gave me a bootable system. Unfortunately it
died the death at 4 a.m. this morning and crashed with the same spinlock
error this morning after I rebooted, fsck'ed and all that malarkey.

Quick question: anyone know how to change the default startup screen

Hi
I've installed Linux (Slackware 7.0) on an IBM PS/2, with LILO in the
"super block" (not MBR). LILO seems to start up fine, but everything
stops at the "boot: Loading Linux" message. There are no "progress
dots". This is a pure Linux installation, no other operating system
involved (no DOS partition).
If I use a boot floppy, I'm able to mount the root partition an boot
from it. Everything works fine. I've also modified lilo.conf to take
care of the problem this machine can have with checking the "hlt"
instruction: append=mca-pentium. Ran lilo afterwards to update LILO.
So, it looks like LILO is working fine up to just about the point of
starting vmlinuz; and vmlinuz seems OK due to being able to start up
from the boot disk. But perhaps I have a misconception of the boot
process here, and surely there are some details I don't have right now.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Know of a solution?
Thanks
Mike

OK, here's another thought. Redhat stock kernels are optimized for
pentium. Maybe you should recompile and specify your processor type,
etc.

How convenient -- I just did this last night.
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 invokes /usr/bin/xsri with appropriate
options (just run it without arguments) to load the root window.
Mine now reads
/usr/bin/xsri \
-scale -keep-aspect \
/usr/share/pixmaps/local/saturn_vg2_big.jpg
to display a full-screen picture of Saturn. Alternately, you can
point it to a symlink
/usr/bin/xsri \
-scale -keep-aspect \
/usr/share/pixmaps/local/foo
and then just update the destination for foo when the notion takes you.

I think you sent the thought telepathically. I tried both the 2.2.16

This server doesn't support any of the methods that the client uses.

PasswordAuth is safe, as the passwords are passed

Might have changed, but man sshd had most of the info in it for openssh1.
If the above doesn't work, check the logs on the box running sshd;
OpenSSH1 used to be very picky about the permissions of ~/.ssh;
if anyone but the user could read it, it wouldn't allow a login.

Guessed I god confused between 3C509 and 3C905. 905 is the PCI card
which works using 3c59x.o as the driver. As 509 is an ISA card you
would not use the PCI driver for that.

Would it also be possible to download some packages to the local disk
first and then install from there? That way, it could be possible for
56K modem users to install a downsized SUSE maybe. I imagine that your
method installs the whole shebang?

It escapes me why the bridge address would be considered okay in
older versions of the pcmcia package and bad in recent versions. It
obviously worked in the old version, other than the interrupts. I was
hoping someone could offer a hint why it thought the address was "bad,"
or what that really implies, other than "it works fine but the software
