I have downloaded and installed a new kernel source (2.2.14). I have
run "make xconfig" followed by "make dep" successfully. When I run
"make xImage" I get the following script:
# make zImage
scripts/split-include include/linux/autoconf.h include/config
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -02 -
fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -pipe
-fno-strength-reduce -
c -o init/main.o init/main.c
init/main.c: In function 'start_kernel':
init/main.c:1413: too few arguments to function 'dcache_init"
make: ***[init/main.o] Error 1
Can anyone tell me how to correct this error.?
Thanks in advance

How do you make the crontab not email the root every time?
I commented out the line in /etc/crontab
#mailto=root
and I restarted the cron:
crontab /etc/crontab
It still sends root email every time job is complete.

got the same service and am trying to figure out the same thing.

You don't write anything about killing crond before restarting it.
In addition, I believe the above mentioned command just sets the
"active" crontab file for the active user.
On a RedHad'ish system I'd go for:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart
Or in general:
killall -HUP crond
Beware, usually you edit crontab by doing 'crontab -e' and _not_ by
editing /etc/crontab by hand.

For SuSE you can check their website at
http://www.suse.com/support/security/index.html
which also has information about joining their mailing lists for security
and general stuff.
For general non-distro specific information you can try
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/
Places like http://www.linuxtoday.com/ can keep you up to date with general
security flaws as they become known which is where I usually spot these
things first.

If you didn't get a static ip from @home, then you would need to setup
your system to use the DHCP client; RH calls theirs "pump" and suse calls
theirs "dhclient". It is safe to say that @home is using dhcp for your
system unless you are paying extra for static nowadays.

Subject: pcmcia include file clash 2.4.0-test6 & pcmcia-3.1.19
Hmm I just noticed that there is a problem building the pcmcia cardmgr
utilities with the
above mentioned sources. The Makefile picks up the includes from
/usr/src/linux/
I noticed this because the Changes file recommends pcmcia version 3.1.13
and my cardmgr
reported 3.1.11. The 3.1.11 is coming from
/usr/src/linux/include/pcmcia/version.h
and a quick glance at the code I see that it will be picking up a number
of potentially
out of sync include files. Anyone know who to report this to? I'm not
really sure this
is a pcmcia bug or kernel bug.
Regards, Alastair

do a make clean after you do make dep, and instead of zImage, use bzImage.
Then do 'make modules modules_install'

proper drivers for my NIC card--and SMC EZ-10/100 1211-TX. SMC's download
page has the source code, but because I'm not a programmer and I'm new to
Linux, I am lost because there's no driver for this NIC card in the initial

Hi All,
At home I have a small ethernet network of 2 machines. I'm trying to

Any luck with this installation. I have the same chip on a Dell and am
having the same problem.

Download and unpack the source code into an empty directory. If the file ends
in .tar.gz or something like that, type gunzip [file you downloaded] and then
tar xvf [file you downloaded - .gz]. Then look for a readme file. Follow the
instructions contained in there. for compiling, and installing. If it is not
found, then try to find a file called Makefile or makefile. If you find one,
try 'makeing' it by typing make. It should work. If you dont find a readme or
Makefile or makefile, then you have to compile the program manually. That could
be tricky.
Good Luck,

Subject: PCI Modem Resource Here
Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 19:07:43 -0500
Unfortunately there aren't many PCI modems compatible with
Linux. I purchased an Actiontec PCI56012-01CW modem and did
get it to work with a PR440FX board. The only problem is
the instructions or my interpretation of them didn't work.
I did find a resource at www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/
PCImodems.html by Andrew Comech that I found very helpful.
The instructions there for the Actiontec modem worked for
me except I used ttyS4. All your com programs have to be
changed to /dev/modem after you do the install.
This is how I did it based upon Andrews' instructions:
I did the cat /proc/pci command and got three I/O addresses.
the first one said I/O at 0xf800 and I used that one.
It gave me an interrupt as irq 18.
I then did the following commands:
cd /dev
test -c ttyS4 || ./MAKEDEV ttyS4
chmod 666 /dev/ttyS4
setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xf800 irq 18
ln -sf /dev/ttyS3 /dev/modem
Make sure you use the cat /proc/pci command in order
to see what addresses and interrupt your own machine
uses and don't just use the ones above unless the command
returns the same values as mine.
I put the setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xf800 irq 18
in /etc/rc.d/modules so my Slack 7.1 system initializes it
every time it boots. Good luck to all!
Best regards,

Or, you can try command >/dev/null 2>&1. That redirects all output to the null
device, the black hole for data. It doesn't give any output.
Good Luck,
