Hello,
I am using RH6.2 and use the PPP Dialer to connect to the internet,
however, the modem dials and connects fine, but then it drops the
connection.
I really hate using windows but if my RH can't connect to internet, this
force me to using windows again, please help.
I have been asked to reset the init string (not the dial command) to
AT&F0, but I can't find the init string setting in PPP Dialer.

Subject: Modules, kernel compling, unresolved symbols (using kgcc) & RH7
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 04:55:34 GMT
OK,
I did a clean install of Redhat7 on my system, and after some work to
get it to install on the kt7-raid mb, I was up and running. Of
course, the very first thing I did was get the full source for 2.2.16,
run menuconfig, and compile my own kernel. Found the kgcc fix, and
everything /seemed/ to go alright.
Unfortunately, it now seems that every single module complains about
many unresolved symbols on /sbin/insmod or /sbin/depmod -a. (they
include things like 'kmalloc', so it's not just a matter of forgetting
to insert one module before another, etc.)
I tried to symlink /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm to the
/usr/src/linux/include dirs with the same results -- everything worked
OK except for modules.
Troubleshooting info:
AMD Duron / KT7-raid mb
128M SDRAM
20M IDE harddrive
And I can promise I did the obvious. (For instance, before someone
suggests the following, I did, in fact, do a 'make modules' and 'make
modules_install'. :) )
I'll check here, but e-mail is also welcome at
davidp@<not>witty.<no>com.
remove the obvious.
Thanks in advance,

but whenever I boot, I get multiple errors in /var/log/messages from
modprobe complaining that it can't find module char-major-6. I've 'grep'd

You need to add the IP addresses of your ISP's DNSs (nameservers) to
/etc/resolv.conf
Your ISP should have given you the info, or you'll have to contact them. Then
put the addresses in like so:
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Where the Xs are the address. If they give you 2 or more, just add another line
for each one.

Subject: RH6.0 installs, but won't boot
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 05:14:32 GMT
I've been tearing out what little hair I have left. I've got RH6.0, and I've
installed it (several times, now) on an older box I bought just for this
purpose (no other operating system on the machine, no dual-booting,...).
It's a Pentium MMX 200MHz, on a GA-586AT motherboard (can't find doc
_anywhere_) with 32MB of RAM, a 850MB Quantum drive, a Trident 8900CL VGA
card, a 3Com 3C509 combo card, and your basic 3.5" floppy.
After sorting out the disk geometry problems (another story in itself), LILO
now seems to work. So, when I boot, I get this:
LILO boot:
Loading linux
...and then it freezes. I've disabled PnP on the 3C509, which didn't help at
all.
Any ideas, anyone? I haven't found any documentation that seems to apply to
this situation.

Subject: modules not loading on bootup...
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 05:23:12 GMT
Hi All,
Iv'e just downloaded kernel 2.4.0-test8 and compiled a configuration I
thought would work on my
system running Redhat 6.2. However, none of the modules are loading at
boot up. I guess I'd better
describe what I did to get there.
I downloaded the tar file for kernel and copied it into /usr/src.
I removed the link /usr/src/linux.
Untarred the new kernel source where it created a new /usr/src/linux
directory.
Moved /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test8
Recreated the link /usr/src/linux pointing to the original kernel
source.
cd'd into /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test8 and ran make xconfig.
Configured my kernel to taste and saved before exitting
Ran make dep clean bzImage
Ran make modules modules_install
Ran depmod -a
Copied /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test8/System.map to
/boot/System.map-2.4.0-test8
Copied /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test8/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test8
Added the following stanza to /etc/lilo.conf:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test8
append="mem=192M"
label=testlinux
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
Saved file and exited editor and ran lilo without errors.
Restarted the computer
Entered testlinux at the LILO prompt
I don't think I'm missing anything, but apparently I am. The new kernel
I compiled boots up fine with
the exception none of the modules are loaded and of coarse all the
wackiness that creates. The kernel
module autoloader is compiled into the kernel, and the directory
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test8 was created
when I made the modules. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Any insight you might
have would be appreciated.
TIA
Will

Yes, kgcc is egcs 1.1.2. If you don't use the patched kernel sources
from RH, you have also to adapt the kernel Makefile to use kgcc instead
of gcc.

It is a bug in kppp. It has nothing to do with ppp. Ignore it. Or get an

Apparently kppp used a bug in Linux to see if ppp existed. When the
linux bug was fixed, kppp broke.

Well you got your first kernel oops, cannot tell you what caused it
though. All you can really do is reinstall, and if that fails too, I'd
go for distributor support and ask them what is wrong. (appearantly the
failed packages, wheren't that harmless)

No need for any floppy's just install win98 first than linux and install
LILO where-ever you like. If you know what you're doing put it on the
linux disc, if not just follow the default install and put LILO in the
MBR (assuming RH). All you need to do is make sure that you have a
bootfloppy ready, because win98 is notorious to mess with your MBR. Oh,
and don't forget to make a /boot partition on the linux disc that
resides entirely below cylinder 1024. Otherwise you may need to solve
that problem too.

One other thing to look out for. I'm running it on F-560 and had

framebuffer mode. I know it not. But my screen is now only displaying in
640X480 when booting lilo when I go to linux no problems but win98 is
another creature. I can't get the thing out of 640X480 and it only in
the center of my display.
Even changing the lilo boot paramater now does no good.
if anyone else has suggestions please post.

Subject: lilo boot problems
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 07:23:19 GMT
I was installing slackware 7.1 and decided to use framebuffer mode to
see if it was any better since my graphics card is not fully supported
by linux. everything was working fine.
I'm using a dual boot to win98 and linux and it worked fine for a while.
Now booting up into linux seems to be okay but when I boot win98 now the
screen is shrunk in the center and is in 640X480. Lilo looks the same
way on boot up.
I've tried a liloconfig and changed the modes and it changes it on the
linux side but not on lilo booting.
I think I'll need to redo the mbr, any suggestions before I do this.
thanks in advance.

Is it possible to take the 2.2.16 kernel source that comes with
rh70 and patch it up to 2.2.17 instead of doing a reinstall of

Subject: soft reboot?
Date: 2 Oct 2000 07:43:26 GMT
Is there a way to make a Linux system (RH 6.2) do a soft reboot? With
standard configuration, the reboot is always 'cold'. I think I've seen
the hint how to do somewhere, some time ago (an option in lilo.conf?)
but I did not make a note then and I cannot find it any more.
any hints?
regards, Michal.

Subject: Gentus installation into multi-OS disk - help please...
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 07:57:07 GMT
I have an 20Gb disk with Win95 installed onto the primary FAT partition,
Win NT4 and a spare logical drive in an extended partition. NT gives me a
menu to boot between Win NT and Win 95. I want to add an option for Linux
to this menu, so I'm trying to install Gentus Linux using the Custom option
so I can install LILO to the linux partition, not the MBR.
When I try to install Gentus Linux 3 on the disk, I get to the stage where
I create the linux partitions, I set the parameters, click the Next button
then the PC ejects the cd and reboots.
If I follow the process through again, the partitions haven't been created
and I'm back to the beginning again.
What do I do to continue the installation process ?
Thanks for any help.

What a crappy distribution. No matter what I do, the installation fucks up somehow. No
matter how many times I try to install LM 7.1 using lnx4win (Linux for Windows), there
is
always atleast one or two packages (and always a different package) that causes an
error
during installation. There's errors in perl scripts, like for detecting pcmcia cards.
Can't even use expert mode because there's errors in perl scripts when trying to format
the partition.
Now, this time I get an error during bootup that it can't find the image file for
initrd!! WTF!! What, did LM just forget to create one during the installation? What
image
file is it looking for? linuxsys.img perhaps?
So, if anyone possibly knows what it means when it can't find the image file for
initrd,
please let me know a way to fix it.

I'll have to look into that if no-one already has solved the problem
here...

I first tried to use alien on another machine for the sybase*.rpm's, but it
didn't work. Let's hope that the guys at Sybase come to their senses some
day.

Why wouldn't it?
I was under the impression that DHCP could be used over any TCP/IP
connection (PPP, Ethernet).
The majority of Dial up ISP's in sydney use Dynamic IP Addresses to dial
accounts, which I guessed as being assigned by DHCP. If not how else would
they do it? (this is a question not a flame)
