Subject: installing NE2000 on debian potato
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 14:29:00 GMT
Hi!
I'm trying to install a NE2000 compatible network card on debian potato,
but the system tells me there is a IO or IRQ problem. My card is
configured to io=0x2E0H, but whenever I enter that as command line
argument the bootstrap program tells me that it cannot recognize the 'E'.
Is there a different way of entering this address ? I prefer not to
reconfigure my card to a different IO because I'm running Windows on the
same machine and it is configured to that IO...

Read the CD-Writing-HOWTO. If you don't have it
in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs, then try the
Linux Documentation Project at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/
Good luck,

Hi Phil!
Normally using lilo with more than 1024 cyls is impossible.
Create a new partition at the beginning of your disk (20 MB should
be plenty) and mount it to /boot.
Your system should place the kernel image there, so it's in the first 1024
cylinders.

Look for /etc/modules or the command "modconf".
(Should be the same in redhat, I'm running Debian/SuSE)

There is no reason to do this unless the point is unattended operation
(e.g. in a cron job); if you want automatic authentication in an
interactive context, then using an agent is the right way to do it (for
public-key authentication). You can use an agent for unattended jobs
also, but there are trade-offs there that might make you consider using a
plaintext key.

There's no reason that you have to keep the key file in ~/.ssh, and if
your home directory is shared via NFS or SMB, for example, there's every
reason not to. Place it in a directory local to the client host, and make
sure that its use is restricted on the server side (e.g. using host= and
from= options in the authorized_keys file).

This probably IS a >1024-problem. Boot with the bootdisk and place
'linear' in lilo.conf (somewhere at the top). This should avoid the
problem (at least it did with me - i installed RedHat 6.2 on a 72 Gig-HD
with the first 20 Gig for NT 4 and during install i said to lilo to add
'linear', and it works fine).

try small letters, maybe ? and leave out the 'H' at the end too
0x2e0 may work

Anyone else had problems with the Helix Gnome Installer? It worked fine
over the Internet but I saved the files so I could perform the upgrade
on another machine.
I ftp the files to the second box but the problem is, as soon as I click
the "Local Media" radio button to allow me to install from local media
(my hard drive), the "Next" button becomes disabled making it impossible
to continue.
It doesn't do any good to save the files after an install if you aren't
going to be able to make use of them.
Anyone that's found a workaround, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Meanwhile, I'm going to try ftp from the first PC.
Thanks.

i just installed red hat 6.2 on my new system which consists of an AMD 800
mHz Athlon (thunderbird) and a MSI K7T Pro Motherboard. The install went
fine, however, when the system boots up, it says it is disabling the CPUID
and then it gives a general protection fault and freezes. I used to have
Red Hat 6.1 running on my old AMD K6 233, but I had to scrap that for parts
for my new computer and linux doesn't want to work. Any ideas on what I can
do to fix this problem?

Thanks Igor, but unfortunately this will not work in my case. The
standard MBR does not boot Windows. I think Goback uses an
incompatible boot sequence. I need to restore the MBR with one that
is compatible with Goback.

I use a promise66, and the installation went perfect but if I try to enable dma
with hdparm I get the following msg:
/dev/hde:
setting using_dma to 1
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0
I have recompiled the kernel with the ide path, but I still get the msg.
Maybe I forgot something, here's my .config:

actually one should rather append permissions as second argument:
mkdir "/root/tmp/",0700;

Subject: A tale of two computers
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 15:51:58 GMT
I have a Pentium III computer with a newTaxan monitor. I am
thinking of getting a relatively cheap Celeron computer to act as a
standby computer in case my main computer goes faulty.
I have Linux MANDRAKE 7.1 installed in my main computer and have made
Norton Ghost image files of all my Linux partitions in my main computer
except the swap and /tmp partition. Now the Celeron is going to have a
different graphics card, sound card and modem card but I will be using
the same Taxan monitor on both computers.
After I dump the image files of my LINUX partitions onto the Celeron
computer's hard drive, how do I SAFELY configure Linux to the different
hardware of the standby computer. I am assuming that I can do this from
the multi user or console mode [ where the pixelled penguin comes up on
the left side] when I boot up Linux on the standby computer.
I have read that the wrong drivers can damage the Taxan monitor. PLEASE
send me full console commands to type in so that I may be able to test
them on my main computer before proceeding.

I'm not really a Mandrake person so I'm not sure what utilities it
uses during the installation process to detect and configure the
various hardware.
I just went and checked the virgin Mandrake 7.0 (kernel 2.2.14-15mdk)
on my kids machine. All the hardware was detected and listed in the
"sysconfig" output file under "etc". Then it auto-magically loads the
modules for everything on boot.
I can tell you that the end result magic is in the /etc/conf.modules
file (as it is in Slackware as well) and it includes:
alias eth0 dmfe
alias sound cmpci
... so these are the modules you are looking to have Mandrake activate
prior to any sound or network configuration. After boot issue a
"lsmod" as root and these modules should be running.
Under slackware I just manually edit the /etc/rc.d/ files and make
sure that I "insmod" the proper module before I issue the
configuration commands. A much more straight forward operation to my
mind.
Any way, I hope this helps. I always recommend Mandrake for its
automated installation process and lots of "eye candy" BUT I find it
awkward to maintain as the GUI configuration hides a lot of "stuff"
from the user.
Good luck!
