Subject: Lilo order of SCSI adapter recognition
Date: 16 Aug 2000 20:47:03 -0400
I have a box with dual aic7xxx controllers at IRQ 30 & 31 and a
dual-channel MegaRAID at IRQ 17.
I like building monolithic (non-module) kernels because I know what I have
and I don't want some yahoo to be able to install a kernel rootkit.
The problem is that it seems completely random[*] which driver loads
first. Sometimes megaraid is scsi0, sometimes it's scsi2. This makes the
process of writing /etc/fstab rather more difficult.
How do I tell lilo (or the kernel) that I always want the aic7xxx as scsi0
and scsi1, and megaraid as scsi2 and scsi3?
The (old) SCSI howto says there's an array in drivers/scsi/hosts.c to play
with, but I took a look and couldn'tfigure it out. Anyway if what it says
were true, I'd think I'd be getting consistent behavior.
[*] Or maybe it's that whenever I let the machine boot on its own, aic7xxx
is first, and whenever I type something, either "linux single" or just
enter, megaraid is first. Hard to say since it takes so long for the
machine to reboot with all those drives.

your best option would be to use partition magic as it would probably do
what you want...*it is my recommended solution*.
Philo
there are two other possibilities ...use at your own risk:
1)scan disk generally will not move system files, you could temprorarily
change the attributes, then run scan disk, then change the attributes back.
2) mount your windows partition from linux and keep the files in a linux
folder

Try disabling the bios(s) on the controller(s) that you DON'T want to boot
from. This will stop any possiblity of booting from them, but will not change
any functionality. I have two AIC7xxx controllers on the mother board and a
Mylex AcceleRaid 250. The AIC7xxx controllers control all the narrow (CDROM
DAT tape etc) and one 4G 10K drive for swap. The system boots/runs off the
27G logical RAID 5 drive. In order to get this to work, I had to disable the
bios of the onboard AIC7xxx controllers.

That's why old addage: "Sometimes free software is TOO EXPENSIVE."
Some cliche's are cliche's for a reason.
It would be unfair to generalize that across the whole linux world for
one problem though. The addage holds true in some cases though,
obviously. For me, I'm learning that different distro's are better than
others... where I used to think "linux is linux" reguardless of distro.
My opinion of RedHat has gone down, not only from personal experience,
but from other stuff I have read as well.
What do I know though, I'm just a dumb Win32 guy turned Linux newbie :)
Good luck.

Solved it myself... Disabled USB support in the BIOS, which liberated
IRQ5. Reconfigured sound card and everything to IRQ 5, everything
works.

Hi Keith,
I have not set this up under Linux yet, but I belei3W2BHE\, possible. Take
a look at the off-line mailing HOWTO. It uses fetchmail and procmail to do
what you want. I did do this under Windowz, and this method has some serious
drawbacks. I'd rather see if my ISP can give me a good deal on an ETRN
service, but this might be expensive. Just my 2c.

This may give you an idea, but it is for kernel 2.2.14, so you may have to
modify it for newer kernels:

Hey all,
I'm getting around to doing my first intranet setup with a Linux
server, and this is a real easy question / problem that I can't
solve...
"(2)no such file or directory: exec of
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/printenv.cgi failed"
I can't get even the easiest cgi program to execute (using Apache)
I've checked the apache directives, they point to my script alias
directory fine.... I've checked (and 777)ed the cgi-bin directory and
the cgi files as root to make sure that isn't an issue.
The script only contains two lines; the first line is pointing to
usr/bin/perl (and it's there...) and the other is a print command.
(with HTML / body headers and footers...)
The program runs fine in text mode, but not with the web server.
I know it's something easy (it has to be), but I've tried everything
that I can think of.
Any ideas?
Thanks...

Here's an interesting situation:
I install Redhat 6.2 via FTP and choose the 3c509 driver for the
install. The install goes smoothly. The system reboots. Upon reboot
the device eth0 won't install. I found the 3c509 config and diagnostic
utilities by Donald. I used them and they worked correctly verifying
that my card was at I/O address 0x300 and interrupt 10, and using
10baseT. So, I specified in conf.modules:
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10
and then rebooted...upon reboot I got:
/lib/modules....../3c509.o insmod eth0 failed. Delaying eth0...
Do I need to compile support for this into the kernel? It seems as if
modules have been working for everyone else, can anyone help me out?
