The current version of FIPS works fine on large disks. I
used it to carve a piece off my 20 GB Quantum Fireball with
no worries. The fact that you installed Linux and can boot
it and mount the WIN partition implies that your partition
table is okay, which is all that FIPS really does, anyway
(writes a new partition table.)
My guess is you need to read the LILO HowTo and edit your
/etc/lilo.conf

Subject: SWAP partition size?
Hello all
My computer has a P166 processor, 32 MB of RAM and a 3g HD. I want to
Install Redhat's Linux 6.2 and the manual says to create a swap
partition at the same size as the RAM. Now I only have 32mb, so why wont
I make a larger swap partition, like 128mb or so? Will it improve/hurt
the system performance?
I have also thought about creating only one large partition of what left
of the HD (after creating the swap and the boot partitions). Does it
have any disadvantages?

Subject: help: sound support compiled into kernel but no sound? [repost]
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 15:36:22 GMT
hi everyone
got a little problem with a ESS Maestro soundcard and wondered if
anyone has come across the same card and its soln.
the card in question is actually a Videologic 5D Sonic which is a (pci)
graphix card and soundcard on the same board - the graphix card works
fine, but its the sound card (well, the sound bit :) taht i cant figure
out.
with a no-sound-modules-included-2.2-kernel, doing a `lspci -v` eports:
...
00:12.1 Multimedia audio controller: Platform Technologies, Inc.:
Unknown device 0100 (rev 10)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1285:1010
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
I/O ports at e800
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Tseng Labs Inc ET6000 (rev 70)
Flags: slow devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at c800
...
the maestro doc in the kernel src tree tells me that the sound chip is
indeed an ESS Maestro AGOGO (looking at the 0100 device id and a 1285
pci id).
so after reading the sound docs from the 2.2.17 kernel i built the
required sound modules into the kernel (CONFIG_SOUND=y
and CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO=y were the only options selected in the 'sound'
section of make config)
after rebooting, the kernel reports back on bootup:
...
maestro: version 0.14 time 16:36:06 Sep 10 2000
maestro: Configuring ESS Maestro found at IO 0xE800 IRQ 10
maestro: subvendor id: 0x10101285
maestro: not attempting power management.
maestro: my goodness! you seem to have a pt101 codec, which is
quite rare.
you should tell someone about this.
maestro: 1 channels configured.
...
and indeed the /dev/dsp device is available (i can do `echo "" >
/dev/dsp` and it doesnt complain about no such device). however, when i
try to use the device, by playing a cd, catting au/wavs to /dev/dsp
there is nothing coming out of the speakers (and yes, i have plugged the
speakers into the card :)
the /proc fs seems to think that its there also
/proc/devices
Characeter devices:
...
14 sound
...
/proc/ioports
...
e800-e8ff
...
/proc/interrupts
...
10: 1 XT-PIC ESS Maestro
...
i would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this one and
point out anything that is obviously wrong - i've been trying to sort
this out for a little while now without much success :(
thanks in advance

I don't use win98ICS, but basically it creates a proxy server on the
ICS machine that you must access with other machines on the net.
First get TCPIP working on all machines--test with ping. Then set the
ICS machine as the gateway for the others on the net. Then if you are
using Netsape, edit preferences, advanced, proxies and make sure the
ICS machine is the proxy for HTTP port 80, security port 80, and socks
port 1080.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Hardware RAID - Cannot update Linux kernel
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 12:12:44 -0400
I have a RAID level 5 system (hardware) that has the entire file
system on it. I did a install using Redhat 6.2 and the RAID controller
was set up correctly and intializes fine. The problem came later in the
day when I started applying patches. Default Redhat 6.2 has kernel
2.2.14 included, since it has a root vulneribility in it, I attempted to
upgrade to kernel 2.2.16. I got through that just fine, until I issued
the mkinitrd command. At that point mkinitrd reported "all of your
loopback devices are in use". Any idea where this is coming from or how
to work around it?
One thing I did get from redhat is that using software RAID
(raidtools) you cannot upgrade the kernel if /boot is installed on the
RAID partition. I see no other documentation that indicates the same
applies to hardware RAID, but though it was worth mentioning. Also I
have the latest Firmware on the DAC960.

My problem is this: I've got Linux RedHat 6.9 and a 56k Voice ISA

I have noticed with my SCSI tape drive Ctrl-C does not always work,
but Ctrl-Z suspends it just fine. From there you can kill the process.
This may be a little different then what you are describing. Do you mean
you cannot kill the job itself, or you just cannot get back to the shell
to issue commands again?

IN general, you should have a swap partition of at least 128MB with
today's applications. Larger swap does not hurt system performance,
lesser RAM does.

Subject: Problems with some modules
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 13:20:44 -0400
I have a module that a harware vendor supplied to me. I can't get the source
for the module and so can't compile it for my kernel version.
The vendor said to turn off 'Require kernel module version' in the kernel.
So to do this I have to recompile the kernel, but since there is a newer
kernel out (2.2.17) I decided to use that.
I included everything I needed into the new kernel, did all the proper
makes, set up lilo, and rebooted.......the vendor supplied module works
fine, but some of my other modules fail during boot. I seem to get module
dependency errors......
the modules that fail are:
network card
usb (not really needed)
and some IPChains modules....
(this is on a Mandrake system).......
I can't seem to find out why this occurs or find any info on how to fix
it......
Thanks,

As I understand it, an address is
bitwise ANDed with the Netmask. This is then compared with the
"destination" address and if they agree, then this is a matching route.
The U on that line says that this is supposed to be a subnet (rather
than UH for host and UG for gateway) Your netmask has the 1 2 4 8 and 16
bits 0 in the last byte, so any address in the range 32-63 should match
this and be sent out on the eth0 interface.

]Gateway: 209.221.101.33
]Netmask: 255.255.255.224

So, all of this looks fine.
The lastline says to send all packets not otherwise matched (since this
matches all packets) to the gateway machine 33.
]Now I do have an eth1 installed but I have disabled it in linuxconf.
]Eventually this machine will ipmasquerade, but first things, first.
]What do the U, UH, and UG flags mean? The man file doesn't seem to

You don't. This is the subnet address. Any address which when ANDed with
the netmask and gives this result is to be sent out over the eth0
interface.
]That's not even in my IP range.
Actually it is the base of your IP range. (I do not know if you could
actually give a machine that address however)
]Using ifconfig gives me this:
]eth0
]Link encap:Ethernet
]inet addr:209.221.101.49
]Bcast:209.221.101.63
]Mask:255.255.255.224
The broadcast address is the subnet with all of the final bits set to 1
(your address AND Netmask)+(NOT Netmask), where NOT is the bitwise NOT.
142.103.234.32 + 31
This is fine.
]Now what is a broadcast??? Why has it choosen the last address in my
]IP range(.33 - .63)? I have tried changing it by typing ifconfig
]broadcast 209.221.101.33, but it never works. Sometimes it changes to
]209.221.101.255, sometime it changes the inet addr. But no matter
]what, whenever I reboot the machine it always resets to the numbers

The broadcast gives the machines to whom the broadcast is directed a
hint as to which machines it is destined for. Ie, Broadcast AND machineIP=machineIP
tells the machine it should pay attention to the broadcast. (broadcasts
are IP messages which are usually general queries-- eg arp queries--
could the machine with some IP address please tell me its ethernet MAC
number.)

Subject: Processor Family Options?
I've got a few machines running Red Hat around, mostly 6.2 but one
6.0, and 6.1. After much studying of the Kernel How-To I've gotten to be
a fair hand at updating and recompiling the kernel. Just yesterday for
some reason I don�t remember now I went into the /usr/src/linux-2.2.14
dir of one machine I hadn�t worked on in a while and ran make xconfig to
see what options the kernel on this machine had been compiled with. When
I got to �Processor Family� this is what I saw:
386
486/CX486
586/K5/5X86/6X86
Pentium/K6/TSC
Ppro/6X86MX/PII
PIII/Xeon/Deschutes
at first I couldn�t place what looked different but then I realized that
this is the first time I�ve ever seen the �PIII/Xeon/Deschutes� option.
The two machines that I use the most, which are my desktop machine at
work and my machine at home which serves as my IP Masq / Interbase
server, both have been updated to the latest kernel RPM�s from the Red
Hat ftp site which are:
kernel-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
kernel-2.2.16-3.i686.rpm
kernel-BOOT-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm

kernel-source-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
kernel-utils-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
and in this case when I go to /usr/src/linux-2.2.16 and run make xconfig
the processor options doesn�t show the �PIII/Xeon/Deschutes� option. Any
idea�s why this option is missing?
Thanks,

Hi:-)
A couple of Days I am trying to compile a new kernel, and the weird
thing is that vfat support is never compiled into it. I used all three
possibilities for make config with the same result, each kernel lacks
vfat support.... also some modules are not created either.....
kernel versions are 2.2.14, 2.2.17 as well as 2.4-testXX
any clues?
thanks

Thomas,
this happens when your provider changes your host name.
standard its local host, and its changed to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Then X can not connect to the new host and start any application.
edit /etc/sysconfig/network
change localhost into a name you like (eq mymachine)
edit/etc/hosts
be sure it contains at least
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 mymachine.linuxfan mymachine
where linuxfan is a name you choose.
be sure /etc/host.conf contains at least:
order hosts,bind
reboot your machine

Look at 'man route' for an explanation of the flags, in brief:
'U' indicates the route is 'Up'
'H' indicates the target is a host
'G' indicates the target is a gateway

Yes it is. It is your 'network' address.
Are you familiar with how netmasking works? The bits masked as 1s are
the 'network' portion and the bits masked as 0s are the 'host' portion.
.32 is your network address, which corresponds to all-zeros in the
'host' portion of
your address. .63 is your broadcast address which corresponds to
all-ones in the 'host' portion of
your address. Your 'valid' address range for hosts is .33 to .62 (not
.63).

As it should. The addresses above are correct.

There is no problem that I can see. :-)
Netmasking takes some getting used to, but it looks to me like you're
fine.
