Subject: kernel 2.2.17 -- problems with power-off
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 02:13:57 -0800
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have Linux RH 6.2 installed, Soyo motherboard, Athlon K7.
When using the kernel that came with the distro (2.2.14-5.0),
the "shutdown -h" commend worked correctly, causing the
computer to power down after exiting Linux.
But when I compiled myself a 2.2.17 kernel, it didn't
work anymore (it hung on halt). So I turned on
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF, which is supposed to
fix some bugs. But after that, while it no longer
hung, it *restarted* rather than powering down as
I wanted it to.
I find that the CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF symbol
causes apm_power_off() to call
machine_real_restart(po_bios_call, sizeof(po_bios_call));
which certainly *looks* like it's trying to restart
the machine rather than powering down (line 641 of
apm.c, version 1.13). What's the reason for
this?
When the symbol is not defined, apm_power_off() calls
(void) apm_set_power_state(APM_STATE_OFF);
which is the same call as in apm.c from the
2.2.14 kernel (version 1.9 of apm.c). So
how come this causes a hang when I try
it in 2.2.17, but not in 2.2.14?

Why do you want to defrag your ext2 filesystems? Are you having
some specific problem you think is related to file fragmentation?
Unlike FATnn, ext2 does not fragment very easily and
defragmentation is generally unnecessary.

Boot linux from a floppy disk and re-run lilo to write a new lilo

Sorry, I mistakenly send the response to your email in a hurry!
There's a few things I'm not clear about. First, do I need to upgrade the
kernel to 2.2.16-3. Second to use the sound function?? What's the procedure
after the update then?? Third, u meant even RH6.1 will work by the procedure
u suggested?? Thanks alot!!

You have to set the hostname in the apache configfile "httpd.conf".
Maybe you want to assign the hostname to a ip adress in the
file "hosts" too.

Still, be careful. A full Slackware 3.5 install (2.0.34) took up
400MB on my system. When I went to Slackware 7 (2.2.13), a full
install was just under a gig - kind of tight on a 1.3-gig drive.
But I trimmed it back a bit and things are working fine.

What you are doing wrong is really nothing, it comes down to the fact
that mime-types are still very undeveloped. I have had times where I
changed the mime-type to a different ap and it worked fine...other
times I would change it, then go back and find it back to the old
way...even though I saved the change...and I would do it over and over
again to no avail, trying root and user...The best way to try to tweak
it to work is to delete the mime-type, which in gnome just restores
the original setting, and try again. If someone has a better answer,
I am all ears.

Greetings
How do I change my MTU/RWIN settings in Linux (2.2.14)?
I'm on cable and the settings Linux defaults to are a little small. It's
currently set to 1500 which is not quite the optimum setting for cable.
Without putting crap on Linux, because of this, I'm getting like a quarter
of the throughput with Linux I get with this W2K box...there must be a good
way to set this. All the tweak sites only cater for Windows and MacOS users.

I can print from every application I can think of, staroffice,

my Linux printer, it doesn't work...I get
//mojavelinux/lp cannot be printed to. An unknown error has occured.
Printer will be set to work offline
when I try to print a test page.
I have Samba 2.0.7 and the share has the following parameters:
[global]

lock directory = /var/lock/samba

I just don't understand where the lockup is. Again, I get an "unknown

printer, I have done it before). I figure there must be something
wrong with the way I have it set up. Perhaps I need to have the share
in /var/spool/samba or something, but I am not sure.
Can someone provide assistance?
my /etc/printcap file looks like...

lrp is set up for a 12 MB machine. That should be
adequate. It would, however, be slow for graphical packages. With
only a couple hundred MB disk, you'd be better off sticking with
non-GUI things anyway. If you get a chance at a local computer show
you might be able to pick up RAM cheap (I've seen 8 MB sticks for $6
and 4 MB sticks for $2....but not at every show.)

Any ideas?
Could the problem be caused by xinetd which comes with Redhat 7.0?

Ok, I found this at
"http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/troubleshooting.html"
<-->
If init starts, but you get a message like: Id xxx respawning too
fast: disabled for 5 minutes
it is coming from init, usually indicating that getty or login is dying as
soon as it starts up. Check the getty and login executables and the
libraries they depend upon. Make sure the invocations in /etc/inittab are
correct. If you get strange messages from getty, it may mean the calling
form in /etc/inittab is wrong.
<-->
But what can I do if I won't get a login? At this position the tty's are not
up, yet.

Maybe ur partition number has changed? If so, the root-device cannot be
mounted correctly and ld isn't able to find its files. Have a look on
which errors you get before these errors - this could help you.

There are no drivers for that card. You need an ethernet modem like the
Alcatel SpeedTouch Home.

Subject: where are Redhat 7 rpms?
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 07:59:11 -0500
Installed RH 7.0, but when I run the Gnome RPM tool, and try to display all
"uninstalled and newer" packages, I don't see anything. The Reference Guide
says they should be on binary CD 1 in a Redhat\rpms directory, but all that
is on that CD is several .img files. On CD 2, there is a Redhat\rpms
directory, but only the extra rpms that could not fit on the CD 1 install
image are there. Where are all the rpms? Is the only way to get them after
an install, is to go to a Redhat mirror website and download them?!?

Subject: Insert Bootable device after Install of RH7 on 15Gb disk
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 11:20:34 -0000
Reply-To: "TazMan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm trying to build a Linux RH7 server with a 15Gb disk.
I perform a standard server install with /boot in the first 1024 Cyl section
and only 23Mb big.
BUT, as soon as the install is finished and the machine reboots I receive
the message "Please insert bootable media" or something like this. I can't
get LILO to boot.
I perform the installation making sure that LILO is installed in the MBR and
that /boot is within the 1024 Cyl. space.
