Mine is io=0x30f. The docs say 0x20c is another possibility. Check

The only thing keeping my work laptop on Windows is Lotus Notes.
Anyonegot Notes client running on VM Ware on RedHat 6.x / 7. Linux?
I have the Notes 5.02b (int'l English - not US) win32 client CD....then
I add increments/updates to get it to 5.04a (which is a global unified
english version - and faster than any Notes I've ever seen before).
My laptop is a Dell Latitude CPx-J with the PIII-750 upgrade and 256MB

Anyone done this?????

Subject: VM error at boot time - HELP
Date: Sat, 07 Oct 2000 15:45:37 +0200
Hi all,
Sorry about the "HELP" in the title, but I'm going nuts.
I have a Mandrake 7.0 system, and I have used their vmlinuz kernel until
now, and it worked fine.
Recently, I tried to recompile a new kernel, which I have done several
times in the past without trouble. However, this time, I get this
message right after the "INIT: version 2.77 booting" line :
VM: killing process modprobe
or
VM: killing process sh
or sometimes both. After about 10-15 seconds, it continues the boot, and
everything works fine.
I checked the kernel source code, and found out that the message comes
from fault.c in the arch/i386/ directory of the kernel source, where it
says that this is due to lack of memory (I have 128M) and that the page
request could not be handled.
Now, is there a way to get rid of this problem, as it slows down my
bootup sequence and leaves a nasty "present bug" feel? I have an AMD
K6-3D Now! Processor, 128 M of ram, and my kernel version is
2.2.14-mdk15
Thanks for the help.

Try './run' instead; the current directory isn't and shouldn't be on

The "gcc-2.96" coming with redhat 7.0 is known that it cannot compile a
linux kernel.
Install the kgcc package (which contains the old egcs-1.1 compiler ) and
modify the toplevel kernel Makefile ( the "CC =" line) to use kgcc
instead of gcc.

I installed Red Hat 7.0 on my Dell M166s (Pentium MMX 166Mhz), however
it didn't recognize my ethernet card (Intel Ether Express/10+ (ISA)
PnP), which is recognized (and works!) without problem in Win 95. How
do I install the proper drivers for the card (or are they already
there?) and get networking to work?

Or "./a.out" if that's the name of the executable file.
(Doesn't VMS--or some--such have you run your programs with "run a.out"?)

Run "free" or "top" or "cat /proc/meminfo" or your favorite
memory-information program, and see whether you are running short on swap
space. The slowness may just be that you are needing to use the swap space
(because more memory is wanted).

No, this is not a _requirement_ on Linux (although apparently it is on some
old-fashioned unixes). It's to be a rule of thumb, however, for _many_
people using a _typical_ mix of programs.

Date: Sat, 07 Oct 2000 22:12:31 +0530
hi there,
i have got into trouble installing suse 7.0 on my machine. first i had
major headaches with yast2, so went back to the old faithful - yast1.
the system installs but doesnt recognize the adaptec scsi card (2940UW
dual - bios 1.33). the sequence goes like this:
1. during yast1 initial screen, i tried to load the scsi kernel modules
for adaptec scsi - i get a message that module faile to load but the
message output shows that it did recognize the card along with an error
saying parallel port devices not found (why thsi?).
2. after the full install, the boot messages show 0 scsi hosts found.
as a matter of interest, the win2k installed on the second disk does
recognize the card and all the peripherals.
my sys config is as follows:
pentium iii, 700 mhz w/128m. the pci peripherals are asus-v3800magic
agp, 3com 3c9xx network card, adaptec 2940uw and es-1373 sound
(integrated on the motherboard). the motherboard is an intel 815.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance

hello,
I need some help.
I have samba running on redhat 6.2 server.
when I look in network neighborhood of a win98 client, the samba server
shows up but it is called
Localhost. idid not give it this name. when I look into the Localhost I see
the user home directory twice of the user I logged in as.
also how do I setup it up where I can see much more than just the home
directory.
I also believe I edited more files than I had to.
files edited: /etc/exports, /etc/fstab, /etc/smb.conf and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb. what are these files?
lastly, whenever I reboot the server samba does not start automatically. I
have to run /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart.
I know these are a lot of questions. but I could really use some guidance.
thank you.

i am not an expert but i believe you did this the other way around. install
linux as the primary hd and win as the secondary hd. where you want lilo to
detect the dos partition on install.
i know you can install both on the same hd and lilo
will find the dos partotion.
good luck.

Trevor's advice is excellent, but you can make it happen more quickly by
starting with Partition Magic v5. With PM you can first in one step
create AND format all partitions except for Boot Manager. As regards
partition creation, PM doesn't have the bugs that OS/2 FDISK and Disk
Druid have that cause the trouble you observed.
While you're at it, consider using multiple partitions for each OS:
making OS, apps, swap, and data separate. This will totally dispense
with any issue of having your boot partitions contained within the first
1024 cylinders. It can also make any future reinstallation or upgrade
process less clumsy, as well as your backup process more pointed and
swift.
Once you've created your partitions, it doesn't make much difference
which OS you install first, but I'd do OS/2 to get both BM and OS/2
installed in one step. If you start with RH, you'll not be able to boot
anything without installing lilo on the MBR, which means you'll have to
later move lilo to make BM & OS/2 work.
Some Linux distros will automatically put your HPFS partitions in
/etc/fstab. I don't know if RH 6.2 will because I've so far only used it
to upgrade 5.1, which did not.
Be wary of using PM to resize or move Linux partitions once Linux has
been installed. I've seen it unrecoverably waste the superblock.
