Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 14:10:27 GMT
Dear all,
I have a problem with my hard drive partition
table. I installed the Mandrake Linux to my hda
wich inholds also Win98 as primary partition,
rest is extended. Everything went well but win98
then lost one logigal partition (in extended area
of course) which I would still like to access via
Win98. I guess the problem is that now after
Linux installation extended logical holder is
changed to type 85. Can anyone please tell me how
to change the type back to 0fh (I guess?) so that
I could access my logical partition one more via
Win98 before I get rid of that crappy OS :-)
Thanx!

Thanks: It turned out that the only way I could find that worked was to mount
them (had to rebuild the kernel to allow a loop device) locally, then to copy the
RPMS, base and instimage dirs leaving out TRANS.TBL and then I booted again from
the floppy, pointing it to the RedHat dir where I'd copied to and it worked fine.
thanks,

Subject: promise controller / RH 6.0 problems
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 14:36:37 +0000
Hello,
I need to install RH 6.1 (so I can use my promise controller), but
I don't like 6.1, as it behaves strangely with our software. In the
past, I've used the RH 6.2 boot image so I can pass the ide2 location,
but I can't get the 6.2 boot image (or the 6.1 boot image for that
matter) to recognize the 6.0 CD as a RH CD. Ultimately, I've decided
I can install 6.1, then downgrade to 6.0. Can I be sure that all of 6.1
will be wiped out in such a downgrade? Anybody have any better ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

Still I suspect this to be the problem. I've seen these same messages
far to often on my DELL machine. They tend to occur here when I put an
extra drive on the IDE controller but haven't jumpered it correctly. On
a known good system this will make it unbootable (ofcourse :-) ). It has
nothing to do with lilo, which is probably perfectly written in the MBR,
and everything with your hardware configuration. The BIOS cannot find
the HDD/RAID array for some reason. Which reason it is, I cannot tell
you, I don't have any expierience with RAID arrays, but i suggest you
either check jumpers/connections or fix the BIOS settings if they are
wrong for whatever reason.

Thanks for all the replies. I went with what many of you said and did an
amazingly painless compile from the 21.1.12 source. Unfortunately, not all
things work (most notably, I couldn't get cc-mode to work properly yet) but
I have the most basic functionality. I have a somewhat stupid question -
what is the difference between installing a lisp package in the default
place (/usr/local/lib/xemacs*/xemacs-packages) versus installing it anywhere
and using (setq load-path (cons "/dir/of/cc-mode/" load-path)) in the .emacs
file. For eg, can I install the lisp package in /mydir/cc-mode* and use the
above in .emacs ?

Have you loaded all the correct modules into XFree86? Because 4.0.x supports
plugin modules, you may merely be not loading the "extmod" module in your
XF86Config-4 file in /etc/X11.
Find the 'Section "Modules"' and add
Load "extmod"
to it.

I would check jumpers, except it worked out of the box. It was only after

Check with ldd which libraries this program uses. There is a good
chance the loader cannot find one library.
Also, you can use strace on the binary to check out what file it
doesn't find, but first, use the ldd command. That is much simpler
to decipher than strace's output.
