I have _exactly_ the same configuration and problems. I just downloaded
Mandrake 7.2 and now I have sound. Unfortunately, it makes noise when I
move the mouse, cursor or have any network activity - but if you play
the music loud enough you can't hear it!!!! (I am working the noise

It's hdc3, and it is beyond 1024 cylinders. That's why lba32 is needed.
Lilo is installed in the boot sector of /dev/hdc3 and I use another boot
manager (Bootit NG in the MBR) to reach Lilo. I have several Linux
installations on the system along with a couple of Windows installs.
As long as /dev/hdc3 is beyond 1024 cylinders, lba32 is needed for Lilo
to work. If /dev/hdc3 were completely below 1024 cylinders, lba32 would
not be needed. If /dev/hdc3 straddles 1024, lba32 may or may not be
needed, depending on the location of the kernel and other boot files. In
any case though, having lba32 in /etc/lilo.conf will not hurt anything
even if not actually needed.
I could also boot that same hdc3 partition by installing Lilo in the MBR
(boot=/dev/hda), and lba32 would also be needed in that case. I'm not
sure why you think it won't work - it does.

Cause I made a wrong assumption :-)
You didn't mention that you used another bootloader, which appearantly
*CAN* access data beyond cylinder 1024. So I assumed you had a default
DOS MBR, and marked hdc3 as active.
(Actually now I think further that's odd, hdc3 cannot be marked active
that way) Anyway I assumed a bootloader that wasn't capable of extended
int13 calls, so then you would have a totally useless lba32 line there
(Since you would not be able to reach that location in the first place).
Now you can access that partition, it's a different story, and you do
indeed need the line there.

After failing miserably at installing WordPerfect's personal edition I found
my old Star Office CD-rom and installed it with the static libraries on a
Mandrake 7.0 system. The installation was easy but the setup script fails
with a message that it is looking for an arguement that is not documented as
far as I can find. My question, if anyone has been around long enough to
recall theis app is: How do I get around this faulty setup routine? I did try
to set the path variables manually but with no effect. Any ideas?

Subject: Help: Both Link and Activity LEDs stay ON after Linux box runs all
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 11:21:30 -0500
Hi gang,
I installed Slackware 7 on a P90 last night and managed to configure my
Startech 10BaseT ISA ethernet card (using built-in NE2000 kernel
support). The Linux box was able to see the Internet just fine at the
time and IP aliasing was also working. I was getting some unresolved
symbols when setting up IP Masquerading (lockd.o only) so I figured
recompiling the kernel and all modules would do the trick. The whole
process takes about 4 hours (!!) on this particular box so I let it run
all night.
This morning, I was unable to get out onto the Internet and I noticed
that both the ethernet card's Activity and Link lights are constantly on
(they're not blinking *really* fast, they're steady). Even if I down and
reboot the computer, the Activity LED stays on (even during the BIOS
check and everything). I did shut off the computer for a few seconds but
not for more than 10 which is recommended by Startech tech support. I'll
try this at lunch time.
I was wondering if the computer's Advanced Power Management would be
getting in the way here somehow.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I was up against the same problem last week - I moved the target disk onto
the mobo ide. Here are my recollections of the
installation process :
- Fresh install, with the target drive connected to the mobo ide primary.
- Boot from CD as per normal, no mention to RH at this stage of the HPT370.
- Install RH making sure the /boot partition is lower than the 1024 cylinder
boundary.
(I use the fdisk method)
- I choose to install Lilo in the MBR
- I have found that trying to use the selective package installation with
RH7.0 causes a
a panic halfway trhu install btw. so I just select the high lebel packages
ie Development etc.
- Do make sure you create a boot floppy.
- Complete install, then reboot, with the disk still on the mobo ide.
- Login
- Take the data from your /proc/pci re: the mass storage hex addresses.
- Edit lilo.conf, and add the following as the _first_ line :
append="ide2=0xA,0xB,I ide3=0xC,0xD,I"
where A,B,C,D are the first four 0x addresses taken from /proc/pci and
remember B and D need 2 adding to them.
I is the IRQ address of the mass storage controller.
- run /sbin/lilo
- mount the floppy manually :
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt./floppy
- add the append line to its lilo.conf
- run /sbin/lilo -r /mnt/floppy
- power down
- move the target drive onto the hpt370
My final ide config is
HPT370 Pri IBM 46Gb
HPT370 Sec Seagate 8Gb
Mobo Pri CDROM
Mobo Sec DVD/CDRW combo
All masters.
- Boot from floppy via :
Lilo : linux root=/dev/hdXN
where X is e or g, and N is your / partition number.
- login
- Edit /etc/lilo.conf (the hard disk one ...)
- Now you are about to reconfig lilo.conf to boot from the same drive and
parition, but on a different IDE channel ie on the HPT370.
- So change the boot and root lines - change the hda part to be either hde
or hdg depending on your _final_ configuration.
- run /sbin/lilo again.
- There should not be any error messages from lilo
- Take out the floppy.
- Reboot.
- Take a deep breath.
- ????
I hope the above is an accurate reflection of my installation process.
Contact me if any part needs clarification. Heck contact me anyway and let
me know how you get on.
Note that all of this was with RH 'out of the box' ie no kernel patches.
I don't know whether the 46Gb drive/HPT370 is running at ATA33,66, or 100
btw.

Another approach that worked for me was to download the images for Debian

instructions about how to proceed, and if you are a newbie (as I am) you will
learn from the exercise, even though it is tedious.

OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4
Cannot get system and modem to cooperate. Won't dial out. In a book
called Using Linux I found some commands. Results as follows:
dmesg
expected to see something like:
Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled
tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
tty00 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
instead I saw the following line, repeated about a hundred times:
VFS: Disk change detected on device ide(22.64)
VFS: Disk change detected on device ide(22.64)
Next I tried the echo command.
echo "ATDT /n" >/dev/cua0
immediately returned the message "Device or resource busy"
echo "ATDT /n" >/dev/cua1
gave a brief dial tone after about 10 seconds
(made me think it is case of getting OS pointed to right COM port,
went through same thing with NT)
echo "ATDT /n" >/dev/cua2
nothing
echo "ATDT /n" >/dev/cua3
nothing
Last I tried setserial
setserial -a /dev/modem returns, in part,
Port:0x02f8, IRQ: 3
When I use Kppp to try to connect, the message is always "Error in chat
script"
Please advise. Thank you.

It's less complicated that that. You need a program that can
be run this way: myprog file
when when done, file will have different owner and/or permissions.
myprog must be suid to root. The code for myprog.c is:
/**************************************************************/
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>
/* define new mode as 0644 (change to suit): */
mode_t new_mode = S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH;
/* define new owner as nobody, new group as nobody (change to suit): */
char *new_owner = "nobody", *new_group = "nobody";
int main ( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
if ( argc != 2 )
{ fprintf( stderr, "Usage: myprog file\n" );
fprintf( stderr, "Changes the owner and group of file.\n" );
return 1;
}
if ( chmod( argv[1], new_mode ) != 0 )
{ if ( errno == EPERM )
fprintf( stderr, "Cannot change permissions on file.\n" );
return 2;
}
if ( chown( argv[1], new_user, new_group ) != 0 )
{ if ( errno == EPERM )
fprintf( stderr, "connot change owner/group on file.\n" );
return 3;
}
return 0;
}
/******************************************************************/

Ah-ha! There *is* a better way, many of them in fact. One is
to install the "sudo" package and allow users to perform the
mount command without make the mount program suid or giving out
the root password.
Another general solution (that doesn't work here but is
worth knowing about anyway) is to define a
group "mount" and add all users who should be allowed to mount
disks as members of this group. Now change the group for the
mount command to "mount". Now any member of the "mount" group
will be able to run the command. This technique is very
general but doesn't work for mount because you'd have to change
the group of the /dev files too, and that's probably too much
work.
In your specific case, I would recommend you use the automounter
daemon. I don't remember which one comes with SuSE but it is
probably either amd or autofs. (do a "ps -e" command and see.)
if it's autofs, the files controlling it are /etc/*auto* (that
means I don't remember the exact names :-). The man command
should give you the syntax of the setup files.
What's an automounter? Well you define a special directory such
as /misc, and anytime any user tries to use /misc/dev the system
will automatically mount dev on that directory. After a setable
timeout dev will be automatically umounted. "dev" can be
anything, such as "floppy", "zip", "cd", etc.

PS "skript" is spelled "script". :-)

Hy,
there is a cool X tool on Red Hat which is called printtool or something
alike. You can launch it from a console, or run the RH config panel
(which should be somewhere in the KDE/Gnome menu), and from there there
is a printer option.
The use of printtool is pretty self-explanatory (depending on the

I'm not sure whether it works, but I think I've seen it somewhere in the

try splitting the line in 2 parts, using 2 "append" parameters :

Hope that works, otherwise check the lilo userguide (which is very well

AFAIK if you don't have the IP address, you can't do much on a network.
** switch to dark side mode **
you can however try a network port scanner or something alike which will
try every IP address in a given range and sum up what replies when
pinged. You have to find out more by yourself, because I am not very
skilled in that area... (and mainly because I don't want you to go

"x11-ssh-askpass is a lightweight passphrase dialog for OpenSSH or
other open variants of SSH. [...]
x11-ssh-askpass uses only the stock X11 libraries (libX11, libXt)
for its user interface."
f'up!

Another possibility is using GRUB instead of LILO. It might not suffer
fromt he same problem.

check if the other computers on the network are usin clear text passwords
first.
NT sp3 onwards uses encrypted passwords. there is areg file that makes it
send clear text passwords.
Afew things to elabotrate on:
1- Does the linux machine show up on your network neighbourhood?
2- When you say that you can't access the linux computer, do you mean that
you can't see any shares, or that you select a share and it denies access?
3) Your Workgroup name ? Does it match?
4) Do you have TCP IP stack installed? Can you ping the linux computer's ip
address?

Subject: Re: dual boot w/ win98 on secondary master
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 18:05:11 GMT
Eric,
Thanks for the info, last night I came to the same conclusion
with success!
Using the latest lilo (v21.6) I have Linux on the primary IDE (hda, hdb)
and Win98 on the secondary (hdc) and a cdrom (hdd). Lilo will boot
Linux or Win98.
Here's my lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/hda
install = /boot/boot.b
#options
prompt
delay = 50
message = /boot/message
default = linux
image = /boot/vmlinuz-pc97-2.2.14-modular
label = linux
root = /dev/hda1
read-only
append = "debug=2 noapic nosmp"
other = /dev/hdc1
map-drive=0x82
to=0x80
map-drive=0x80
to=0x82
label=win
table=/dev/hdc
loader=/boot/chain.b
Don't ask me why it works but it works flawlessly!
yay!
