How do i make a bootdisk for /dev/hde1 on a hpt370 dma controller on an abit
kt7-raid mb?
The floppy drive is a ls120 too. I have tried following instructions in the
bootdisk-howto and the faqs, but no joy.
If not, how would i boot into linux using loadlin from dos? I installed
win98 and it overwrote lilo. When using the rescue utility on the redhat cd
(moved hde to hda) it cannot lilo the disk because /dev/hda cannot be opened
or superblock cannot be written to.
thanks

I didn't have much time, but I created /mnt/floppy2. I saw that
/dev/fd1 exists already, along with other /dev/fd1* files.

Oops! I didn't try that one. I'll try it when I get the chance.

I did try this one, as root, using "mount -t msdos /dev/fd1
/mnt/floppy2", since the directory I created for it was /mnt/floppy2.
When I did so, I got an error ".../dev/fd1...not a valid (block?)
file..."

Hi!
I want to install win2000 (in fact, I don't want it but I have to).
My linux-System (SuSE 6.4) runs very fine and so I don't want to do the
linux installation again. Is there a possibility to install win2000 on a
system where linux is allready installed??
All articles I've found say to install win2000 first and then linux.

Then like you said in a previos msg, you are going to have
to make sure the device was recognized. All you need to do
is open konsole/kvt and do 'dmesg|less'. Then scroll to
where fd0 is and see what it says for fd1. Everything else
in this thread applies.

Subject: help with nfs
Greetings!
I've got my desktop and laptop talking to each other (ping, telnet). I'm
having trouble with ftp and nfs.
The man pages and the how-to that's on all the webservers aren't too
helpful. I'm not sure:
(a) what I'm supposed to put in fstab
(b) for the syntax for mounting is.
Any tips or on-line references?
Ftp will also bring some questions up (trying to figure out how to
configure access) but let's start with nfs first.
One machine is Mandrake 7.0 or 7.1, the other is RedHat 6.2.

Hi,
With one of the Linux boxes in my LAN I was getting problems with hard
disk. I kept getting the (in)famous "No DRQ after issuing write"
message. Somebody adviced me to switch to the DMA mode for that disk and
it worked. So I put "hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hda" into /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Still, this means that the change is done at the very end of the boot
process. I wonder how could I put it somewhere at the beginning.
Any hints?

That indicates a file system error, such as trying to mount a bad or unformated
floppy. You can't mount an unformated floppy; you have to use fdformat first.

I did the dmesg command and it referenced fd1 in the line with the
floppy listings, and indicated accurately that it is, in fact, a 1.2meg
drive. I'll run through the afore-mentioned routine again when I can.
BTW, when I was logged on as root, I opened up the file manager,
clicked on /dev/fd1 and it tried to read the B: drive. However, when
logged on as a user, it didn't even try. I'll check the permissions as
well. Is this a "clue"?
Thanks for all your help.

There is a kernel config option to force DMA on. Not sure if this
requires the IDE patch (linux-ide.org) or not. I certainly wouldn't do
this unless all drives are known to support this without corruption or
other nasties.
You might also put this at the beginning of rc.sysinit (or comparable).

I understand that, by virtue of Linux's nature, viruses are extremely

Is the Linux version supposed work like the Win98 version, with the

Well, there's the NFS-HOWTO:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO
Here's a brief summary.
On the server:
Make sure the nfs service is running -- $ /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Make sure that the nfs service is set to start at startup
Put the filesystem(s) to be exported and the clients in /etc/exports:
/home client1(rw) \
client2(rw)
/usr/local client1(rw) \
client2(rw)
Export the filesystem(s) -- $ /usr/sbin/exportfs -a
On the client:
For testing purposes, try mounting by hand:
$ mount -t nfs server:/home /mountpoint
When that works, you can add the entries to the fstab:
server:/home /mountpoint nfs defaults 0 0
server:/usr/local /mountpoint2 nfs defaults 0 0
Then they will be automatically mounted at boot time.
Notes:
The mountpoints must exist.
"server" and "client" above, of course, refer to machine names, and
must be resolved somehow. Putting the relevant entries in /etc/hosts
is one way to do that.
There are a number of options to both the mouting and exporting
processes. Those are explained in the relevant man pages as well
as in the HOWTO.
Good luck.

Hey I have recently installed Mandrake 7.2. I am trying to create an
all in one server(ftp, ssh, pop3, http, and eventually firewall and IP
Masq, but not at this juncture). Right now all services work except
for my e-mail. I don't think sendmail is installed. I have activated
the sendmail module for linuxconf.
When I make changes it says it cannot find sendmail.cw, but then it
generates a sendmail.cf.
If I type rpm -qa |grep it finds nothing. Evenm though at install
time everything, as far as I know was installed (1407 MB).
I mounted the CD-ROM, found the sendmail-8.11.0-3mdk.i586.rpm. So I
try to install it. When I do that it says it conflicts with
postfix-19991231_p108-5mdk. If I remove dependencies it gives me five
warnings. /etc/aliases, /usr/sin/sendmail,
/usr/share/man/man1/mailq.1.bz2, /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.1.bz2,
/usr/share/man/man5/aliases.5.bz2 all five of these files were from
the sendmail install and conflict with the postfix rpm. What does
postfix do and why is it conflicting with sendmail?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Some troubles with DOS partitions
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 16:10:34 +0100
Hello,
I've searched many FAQ's and mailing lists and I couldn't find the
solution to my problem (actually, I couldn't find a similar problem).
I am running Debian Linux 2.1 and I have the DOS partitions mounted
under directories like /dos/c.
My home directory is on a fileserver (if this is of any help).
Everything is ok except a small inconvenience: when I want to copy files
on any of my DOS partitions, I get this message:
> cp: /dos/c/filename.ext: Operation not permitted
However, the file gets copied!
(Almost) The same happens if I want to move a file:
> mv: /dos/c/filename.ext: Operation not permitted
The file is copied to the destination, but not removed from the source
path (probably because the 'copy' part of mv ended with a failure).
The DOS partitions are mounted as belonging to root, with full
permissions: 0777.
in /etc/fstab I have this line:
/dev/hda1 /dos/c vfat defaults,umask=000
0 0
If I type "mount" I get:
/dev/hda1 on /dos/c type vfat (rw,umask=000)
What can be wrong?
Andrei
P.S. You might ask: "So, what's the problem if the file gets copied
anyway?"
Well, I am writing a program that -among others- will have to copy some
files. As in the case of commands typed in a shell, the operation
returns an error, although the operation is completed (or half
completed, for 'mv').
I simply cannot just skip this error.

I don't have any experience with win2000, but I know that it isn't
possible to install WinNT on my PC, when Linux is already there. (maybe
problems with partitions behind the 1024th cylinder?). NT crashed my
partition table.
What I did: I got another hard disc and made a copy of my
linux-partition on it. Then I removed linux, installed windows and
restored my Linux-partition (using PartitionMagic). This works. Maybe
anyone might have a better solution, this was mine.

Unless Mandrake has changed things with version 7.2, it doesn't use
sendmail. It uses Postfix INSTEAD OF sendmail. Therefore, you have two
choices:
- Configure Postfix to handle your mail
- Remove Postfix and install sendmail, then configure sendmail to do
the job.
The first option is PROBABLY the easier one, but of course that depends
on your needs and familiarity with both products. For more details on
Postfix configuration, check the http://www.postfix.org. There may also
be a linuxconf module for Postfix configuration in Mandrake, but I've
never bothered with that.

I would not think your disk geometry has anything to do with it. Even if your
disk was full the install runs off of a ram disk. So where to go?
You can start in two places. If you have recently purchaced it you can send
mail to SuSE, see the front of your mainual. (However I never got any help
through this method.) The alternative that I use is get on the SuSE mail list
(english or german) and post the question there. There the post are more
specific to SuSE which may be appropriate for this question.
