Here's the problem:
I upgraded from RH6.1 to 7.0. Now on boot my PCMCIA ethernet card fails
to initialize. If, after booting I pop out the card and reinsert it into
the same socket it fails to be recognized (beep-boop), but if I insert
it the OTHER socket, it is recognized and works perfectly from that
point. I recall this was an issue with the original RH6.1 setup although
for the life of me I can't remember what I did to correct it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Can I install Caldera OpenLinux 2.4 from CD-ROM on PCMCIA SCSI?
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 15:02:50 GMT
On my subnotebook, I've only got access to a SCSI CD-ROM drive via my
Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card. I'm running Win95 right now and I want do
dual-boot it with COL.
I badly want to install COL 2.4. Can anyone help me? I'm new to Linux. My

Subject: Re: Problems compiling tulip module on RH 7.0
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 10:26:44 -0500
This method didn't work for me. I too performed a clean installation of
RH7. I could never get the .c files to compile into .o files. When I type
"make" a lot of gibberish scrolls by on the screen, and no .o files appear
in the directory. I did notice, however, that there was an
"-I/usr/src/linux/include" switch on the gcc command issued by make. That
directory doesn't exist on my filesystem. (Neither does /usr/src/modules
for that matter.) In the /usr/src directory, there is another directory
called redhat which contains BUILD, SOURCES, SRPMS, etc.. I assumed the -I
option looks for a path to the header files, so I manually issued the gcc
command that make called, and changed "-I/usr/src/linux/include" to
"-I/usr/include", but this didn't work. I performed a workstation
installation of RH7 (I'm no linux guru by any means). Is there another
package I should install to get this to work? I just need some help getting
these modules to compile.
thanks

Hi Bill !
Oop! You've got the same problem with me. You should go to Intel web
site:
www.intel.com
There a good documentation for you to install and configure your
graphics card with i810 chipset.
Good luck to you.

Subject: RH7 - Problems compiling kernel
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 12:20:24 -0400
Hey folks...
Having problems recompiling a kernel in RH7. My steps are:
1. cd /usr/src/linux (symbolic link to linux-2.2.17)
2. make xconfig (import default Redhat config - make a few minor
changes - save)
3. make dep
4. make clean (as directed by several sources, though I know some
people dont' do this)
4. make bzImage
This, of course, is where the problem comes in.
I get several "warning" messages which I don't think are a problem,
but here they are:
cdrom.c:1247:84: warning: pasting would not give a valid preprocessing
token
# I also get this warning in tcp.o and tcp_input.o
/usr/src/linux/include/net/ip_masq.h:273:26: warning: nothing can be
pasted after this token
# I get this in a few other files as well
Here's the fatal one:
make -C arch/i386/lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make all_targets
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional
-c checksum.S -o checksum.o

checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2
Crapped our, sir... Any suggestions (or if you need more info to
diagnose) would be very much appreciated...
Also, I've got an AMD K6-2 processor and have been choosing
accordingly in the xconfig setup. Does this make any difference?
Thanks!

If the problem is as Loren Brookes describes, open the file lmhostid in a
text editor and see if the first line is something like #!/bin/bash. If so,
edit the file and change this line to #!/bin/bash -x. The -x will enable
debugging. When the file is ran, you'll see a lot of debugging code dumped
to the screen, which should help you figure out if some command within the
file is causing the problem.

Subject: Re: IPChains and Cable Modems - Fequently loosing connectivity to the

Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 17:12:38 GMT
Make sure that your ipchains is allowing the bootpc protocol through your
firewall (ipchains rules). If not, after the least expires it will be
unable to renegotiate a new lease and fail. Have a look at /etc/services
with a text editor and find the bootpc protocols. Add that to your rules
and you'll be set.
I use SuSE 6.3 which has an ipchains configuration utility. This takes my
attention away from the dirty work of setting up rules, but limits my
ability to give more helpful advice. I discovered this problem by turning
up the logging on my SuSE configurator (/etc/rc.firewall) and looking for
the bounced dhcp negotiate transactions and which ports / protocols were
being used. In my case, the log files to look at are /var/log/firewall and
/var/log/messages. Not sure if yours will be the same or not. Good Luck.

Hi Hagbard,
Well this is the problem, your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is
different from the stock redhat one, and it is not looking at
the /home/[user]/.Xclients file. Do you have the xinitrc RPM
installed? The stock RH file may have been replaced while you
were wrestling with the X11 hardware setup.
I have edited your xinitrc, commenting out stuff starting at
"# start some nice programs", and appending the commands which
look at .Xclients from the stock file. Try snipping and using
this xinitrc file, that should fix switchdesk.
