I see a couple of other suggestions pointing you to floppy distributions. Your
HDD is most likely spinning up to write logfiles. Now if you're feeling pretty
brave, you can kill the logging deamons (syslogd, klogd) and see if the HDD
doesn't spin up anymore.
Alternately, you can mount a ramdisk as your logging directory if your kernel
supports it. http://www.users.bigpond.com/moody.com/Mhow11c.html is a mini
how-to on embedded linux, but it contains good instructions on how to create /
mount ramdisk.

I am new to Linux. I tried to install Linux Mandrake 7.2 on a partition.
Everything seemed OK. But when I booted up, it booted to a $ prompt while
I was expecting a GUI. I re-installed it a few times and each time it was
behaving a bit different. I tried Recommended as well as custom modes. It
asked for monitor and display setting sometimes and sometimes it did not.
I am installing it on Toshiba Satellite Pro 460 CDX laptop.
Anyone with good guess, your help is appreciated.
Thanks

On some KVM switches, Linux cant properly poll the monitor for DCMI (?)
(monitor pnp) info. Try plugging the monitor directly to the video card,
running xconfigurator, then
after its set up, put it back on the KVM. As long as it doesn't re-poll, it
should be OK.

The newer LILO doesn't have the 102(3/4) cylinder limitation that the older
LILO had. So see if that may help.
= 411 =
In ye olden days your boot partition had to be within the 1023 or 1024 mark
(any idea which one? I've seen them both maybe one is 0 to 1023 and the
other is 1 to 1024), anyways, that was the problem, now we don't have that
problem anymore. (at least what I can remember from freshmeat.net)

I FTP the software to the server, then telnet in and install. I do this

Reply-To: _
If you want to run X apps on the router, I don't think you need an
X-server installed on the router. You should be able to start the X
app i.e. xterm -display 192.168.x.x. using your Xserver's IP
address and it will display on your Xserver. If you ssh to the
router, you can skip the '-display' command. I may be missing
something here though.
The key here is that you said you want to be able to start X remotely.
What exactly do you mean by that? Run X apps on the router and
display them on your workstation?

how have you done that? I have suse-7 with reiserfs but I can't apply
the win4lin kernel patch to the 2.2.16-suse kernel sources. At
netreverse.com mailling lists this seems to be a very frequent question.
So:
does the win4lin 2.2.17 kernel patch apply cleanly?
How did you add reiserfs to 2.2.17?
Did win4lin worked with reiserfs?
Can you add USB support to 2.2.17 (not so important)

I also have this problem when recompiling the kernel and moved
/lib/modules/2.2.16 to
/lib/modules/2.2.16.orig *before* making "make modules_install". There
is the problem: the snd-* sound modules came from the alsa development
package, not from the kernel, so I copied them to the new modules
directory (instead of recompiling the full alsa support from sources).

Jidanni,
I will simply attach to this message the section from README for LILO...
LILO start message
- - - - - - - - -
When LILO loads itself, it displays the word "LILO". Each letter is printed
before or after performing some specific action. If LILO fails at some
point, the letters printed so far can be used to identify the problem. This
is described in more detail in the technical overview.
Note that some hex digits may be inserted after the first "L" if a
transient disk problem occurs. Unless LILO stops at that point, generating
an endless stream of error codes, such hex digits do not indicate a severe
problem.
(<nothing>) No part of LILO has been loaded. LILO either isn't installed
or the partition on which its boot sector is located isn't active.
L <error> ... The first stage boot loader has been loaded and started,
but it can't load the second stage boot loader. The two-digit error
codes indicate the type of problem. (See also section "Disk error
codes".) This condition usually indicates a media failure or a geometry
mismatch (e.g. bad disk parameters, see section "Disk geometry").
LI The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot
loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map
installer.
LIL The second stage boot loader has been started, but it can't load
the descriptor table from the map file. This is typically caused by a
media failure or by a geometry mismatch.
LIL? The second stage boot loader has been loaded at an incorrect
address. This is typically caused by a subtle geometry mismatch or by
moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer.
LIL- The descriptor table is corrupt. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/map without running the map
installer.
LILO All parts of LILO have been successfully loaded.
This indicates that the first stage boot loader has sucessfully loaded
the second stage loader, but for some reason it wasn't executable. It
could be due to a geometry mismatch, as it seems you have suspected or it
could be to to moving the boot.b without remapping the lilo installation.
Hope that this was of assistance,
