Disable the bind daemon, and point the resolv.conf file to
the official name server. It is better for you and everyone
else on the network. Some other daemons could be more disruptive
to the network, such as a samba server with wins enabled, or
any of the routing daemons. These must be disabled as well
or better still, uninstalled.

Well, if I were you. I'd remove hda5 and hda2 right away. The fact that
hda2 exists is in itself not so weird, as it is an extended partition,
you cannot moutn mount it. you can only mount the logical partitions
inside the extended partition. The fact that hda2 overlaps hda1 is
strange. I think you can safely remove it (first hda5, then hda2) and
then you can recreate hda5. It will be called hda2 now, but should have
the cyl. start/end addresses of hda5.
Make you're table like:
Dev Boot Start End Blocks ID System
hda1 * 4 775 6201058 83 Linux
hda2 776 784 72261 82 Linux Swap
And be sure not to touch hda1

Thank you Louis and guru's, but what happens if you use the mkbootdisk
diskette and your hd is crashed ?
Another question : following your advices we succeeded in seeing the
tape working from the rescue diskette. Nevertheless we have troubles
in seeing the disk array. Do you know an obvious way to see all the
modules related to it ? Practically, from lsmod I see :
Module Size Used by
autofs 9092 1 (autoclean)
lockd 30344 1 (autoclean)
sunrpc 52132 1 (autoclean) [lockd]
eepro100 15652 1 (autoclean)
st 24556 0 (unused)
cpqarray 15016 6
ncr53c8xx 51424 0
We realized that to see the tape it was sufficient, after the boot
from rescue diskette, to modprobe st and ncr53c8xx, after putting the
same objects in the needed directory of the ramdisk.
What about the cpqarray ? How can I see the dependency of modules
needed ?
Still about the tape. When I boot from HD the module is automatically
loaded, when I start from the boot diskette I need to load it manually
with modprobe, why ?
Thank you all.

the solution is, i think, to reinstall the redhat, and create a 10 Megs
/boot at the beginning of the first drive... this way, you get the linux
kernel into this partition, and it is forced to be at the beginning of
the drive, and you get rid of this silly error :)

Hello again!
Well, no luck with my ADSL connection under the new linux RedHat 7!...

I have tried to configure pppoe (my provider says it uses pppoe), using

It gives me the same error message :

Well I think it's about time you show the listing of `fdisk -l /dev/hda`
Might be that your problems arise from a bad partition table.

Either your fdisk version is broken, or your partition table is.

Yes.

No.
hda1 is a primary partition. Either the partition numbers have been
messed up, or the extended partition is indeed overlapping the primary
partition. Since everything seems to be working, I'd assume that
somehow the poster managed to create an extended partition that is
overlapping hda1, and to create a logical volume behind the hda1
partition as swap space. This will work, as long as the PT doesn't
have to be altered. But it's not a safe way to go.
Either that, or the fdisk version is really, really broken.
To be on the safe side, make a backup of all your important stuff
and reinstall the whole system. It should have a partition table that
looks like that:
hda1 * 4 200 <some_value> 83 Linux
hda2 201 400 <some_value> 82 Linux swap
hda3 401 784 <some_value> 5 Extended
hda5 401 784 <some_value> 83 Linux
This would be 2 Linux partitions (one primary, one logical volume)
and a swap partition. The logical volume here occupies the whole
extended partition.

Subject: modem and sound, something different...
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 02:25:14 -0700
Ok...
this is a little different but still a config problem...
first, i've done all i can think of. i checked all the pertinent FAQs i
could find and the HOW TOs. this is what i'm left with...
isapnp seems to configure my modem fine.
however, i still cannot use it. it returns a busy error.
alsa has drivers for my sound card (Yamaha waveforce XG). if i modprobe
snd-mixer, snd-card-ymfpci, and snd-pcm1 i can hear the cd player but no
other events. and besides, where do i put those modprobe commands to
automate that process? should i just stick them in rc.local or what?
that's about the jist of it but the following may be pertinent or not.
other stuff:
my system log shows quite a few -
modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-0-3
modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0
also
at the end of the boot sequence i used to get a long series of '?', beeps,
and '@' before X windows launched.
my system log showed -
/sbin/mingett tty2: invalid character
and LCK..tty2 would recreate itself if it was removed. i couldn't get rid
of it.
i did a setserial /dev/tty2 spd_vhi irq 5 within /etc/rc.d/rc.serial
and
pnpdump -c -d > isapnp.conf
that seemed to stop the repeating characters at boot but my system log
showed this series:
pppd[11651] pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
ifup-ppp pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/ttyS2 at 115200
chat[11660] can't get terminal parameters: input/output error
pppd[11651] connect script failed.
pppd[11651] exit.
it did this for a half hour straight while i was away from my computer.
i also had the computer lock up on me twice.
once while playing a CD. the screen would update and it recognized mouse
movement but no other input. i had to reset it physically.
and once it locked up completely while logging out of KDE (it was in GNOME
before).
i hope this is enough info to help you help me....(yeah yeah yeah, Jerry
McGuire, got it...)
BTW, i'm using Mandrake 7.0
thanks,

I fail to see why SCSI disc do not suffer from this BIOS limitation,
since the limitation comes from the int13 defined calls to access a HDD.
(ofcourse with the int13 extensions these problems are gone) Are SCSI
discs not accessed through these calls? Then how are they accessed?

When I installed SO v5.1, it was free for download or about US$40
on a CD. You just had to use the "/net" switch when you ran the
installation script. At least that's how it worked for me.

Yes. Same deal: run the installer with the "/net" switch.

Emulate 3 button will ensure that your middle mouse button will not

pointers have
Protocol = "IMPS/2"
Device = "/dev/mouse"
Buttons = 5
ZAxisMapping 4 5
The ZAxisMapping is for the wheel and that also covers the third

Here is your solution!!! I have found that the microsoft intellimouse

Yeah, I was about to say just this. I had been torchering myself for
a long time about actually don't something with the pcmcia card
because as far as I knew, lights were on, it was working. However,
the problem is most likely that your ethernet card is not activated.
I find the easiest thing to do is to run
netcfg
and go to adapters and you will see eth0...just activate it and away
you go!

agreeded...some people with some of the installations of Linux need to
insmod the mouse modules
mousedev.o
usbmouse.o
to get it running. Redhat 7 does this for you. Be sure to be aware
of that.
