Hi, 
        I am using 
                * Redhat 6.2
                * Kernel 2.2.17
                * AMD Athlon
                * MS-6195 Motherboard.
                * Sis6326 AGP card
                * Kingston 128MB PC133Mhz RAM

        When I boot my system. The BIOS shows the correct memory. When I see
the memory using top or cat /proc/meminfo then, it shows only 64 MB RAM.
I don't know why it shows so less memory....

Please help,

Vivek

Subject: Black Screen of Death
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 06:20:58 GMT

Looks like Red Hat 7 has it's own counterpart to the notorious hallmark
of Win OS's.  I'm new to Linux so maybe I've done something wrong, but
here's my problem...

I performed a workstation class RH7 (with quite a few optional
packages) on a 12GB drive with a single 2GB FAT16 partition.  I logged
on with Gnome as my window manager.  Everything worked perfectly until
I logged out using the reboot option.  I could not bring the system
back up, as it kept crashing on Gnome's GUI login.

Unable to fix the problem, I reinstalled from scratch and this time did
a custom install, which allowed me to login at the standard terminal.
I then ran "startx", but when I logged out with reboot, my next login
caused the black screen of death and a corrupt file system.

Does anyone have a clue what's going on and how I might fix it?  Or has
anyone seen this behavior?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, here are my system configurations...

General:
========

Pentium II 350 128MB, Matrox Millenium G200 VC (maybe a problem with
XFree86 4.0 ????)

Install 1:
==========

Primary Slave 12GB drive (2GB FAT16 partition, RH7 Workstation Install)

Install 2:
==========

Primary Master 15GB Win2K / Primary Slave 12GB (2GB FAT16, Custom RH7
Install, LILO in boot sector)


TIA,
Troy

Add the line:

 append="mem=128M"

to /etc/lilo.conf in the Linux stanza, then rerun lilo.

I don't recall exactly what came in the ncpfs package, but IIRC, there
were a number of admin tools along with the mount and print utils. ncpfs
is at v 2.2.0.18, and can be retrieved through freshmeat

Subject: Linux crashes under load
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 23:03:51 -0800

Hi all,

  I've recently started seeing some disturbing behavior in my Mandrake 7.1
 / Linux 2.2.17 box.  Twice now it's abruptly "crashed" when I was running
 a heavy-duty number crunching (f77) program while playing an MP3 using 
XMMS.  The screen went blank, and the machine would not respond to
ctrl_alt+del, and the machine would not respond to a ping. Interestingly, 
the Caps Lock light could be turned on and off with the Caps Lock key. I
think that X had gone down, since I'd swapped the Caps Lock and Ctrl keys
under X.  I'm running XFree86 4.01 with a Voodoo3 2000.  The system is an
Athlon-700 on an FIC SD11 motherboard.  Audio is an ES1370 (SoundBlaster).

  Does anyone know of any stability issues affecting Linux 2.2.17, and
this combination of hardware?  The system seems stable enough under Win95,
ironically!

        Chris

Subject: Troubles installing an ATAPI ZIP drive on RH6.1
From: Alasdair McAndrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 03 Nov 2000 18:09:01 +1100

Hi there,

I am trying to get a 100Mb ATAPI ZIP drive installed and working on my 
RedHat 6.1 system.  The drive is installed, and recognized by both the 
BIOS and linux; during boot I get the message

  hdd: IOMEGA 100 ZIP DRIVE ATAPI

But hdd is not listed in the partition table; that only includes the
hda* disks (which is the only hard disk on the system).

I've recompiled my kernel to remove IDE Floppy support, and to include 
IDE SCSI emulation, and SCSI generally.

However, the commands

  insmod scsi_mod
  insmod ide-scsi

lead to errors about not being able to find a partition on hdd.  But
my (naive) attempts to put one there with fdisk have come to nothing
because

  hdd is not a valid block device

I'm a bit stuck here.  I've read all the documentation I can find, and
I'm sure I'm just missing the obvious (something I'm woefully good
at).  I would like to get my ZIP drive working!

Any hints, suggestions or advice would be most gratefully received!

cheers,
        Alasdair

run a memory test program on your RAM (I suspect it's gone bad)
You're bound to find errors there when doing heavy load work.
I'm not surprised windows if doesn't show this error under normal use.

Never encountered this, but then again I never needed more swap.(And I
doubt you do)
There *used* to be a limit to swap space having a maximum of 128 MB per
swapdevice, but this limit is gone.

But I would do as PM ask you to, and make 2 swapdevices < 133.3 MB if
you need to.

Hi Lee,

You could try to make the RAM used a bit smaller (125M)
I've heard there are mobo's/chipsets that use a bit of RAM for video
RAM.

And try to run a memory check on the RAM (Do you have windows on the PC
too? does that OS recognise the entire RAM?)

Your linux box knows the ATAPI ZIP drive correctly with IDE Floppy
Support enabled. to mount a ZIP volume you have to mount /dev/hdd4
it works great.

This is a crossposted FAQ. I encourage you to do some research on your

Subject: Kernel configuration?

Trying to learn something on Linux, I'm reading a big electronic
manual called "appunti Linux" (I'm italian, by the way...), which must
be the
translation of the Linux documentation Project or something like that. I

started by the system philosophy, where is explained that you have a
Kernel
which you must compile and while you're doing that you can choose many
options,
that is networking services, IDE devices, SCSI and so on...however I
didn't
that when I installed the system, I simply put the CD and follow the
instructions...now I would like, for example, to know how's my kernel
configured: is there a way to see, preferably in graphical mode, what
are those
options? This leads to the second question:  if I would change some of
those
options, should I re-compile the kernel? The manual also talks about a
.configure file, which is deleted when you launch make mrproper and
should be
in /usr/src/linux, but I can't see it...could you enlight me?

It was a corrupt install.  I've had the install

Hi
Is it true that some Redhat kernels don't support AMD-athlon cpu's and
motherboards when addressing a UMA/ATA66 harddisk

I'm asking this question because I've been trying to install Linux 6.0 on a
AMD T-bird Athlon 700 MHz, Asus A7V m-board.
I just bought a Maxtor harddisk for use as my secondary harddisk, and wanted
to install Redhat on the same.

But when I boot from both floppy and cd-rom, I get the message:

hda: No response (status=0xa1), resetting disk
hda: No response (status=0xa1)

And the exact same message output for hdb.

This means I can't use Disk Druid nor fdisk. But from WinME everything looks
fine.
Please help me........
