Subject: How to solve "Partition entry not found"?
I have installed RedHat 7.0 and my NT partition can't boot
again. So I double check the lilo.conf. I found that my NT's
partition is /dev/hdb2 and that has an entry in lilo.conf pointed
to it already. But when I gave "lilo" to activate the config file,
I get an error:
"Partition entry not found"
So how to solve it?

Lucky you. My PCI cards take all different IRQs.

I never said I wanted to share a IRQ between PCI and ISA. I want the PCI
cards to share an IRQ to leave more free IRQs for the ISA cards.

I see, so if I reserve most of the IRQs the PCI cards will be "forced" to
share... Thank you for the information!

Subject: Can't get second NIC up
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 16:56:25 GMT
I'm running a RH7.0 system with a rebuilt (by me) 2.2.16 kernel.
I've got Unicom NIC running as eth0. I want to install a second
card--a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 LAN card, which supposedly uses the
tulip driver. I compiled the pci-scan.o and tulip.o, using the
instructions at scyld.com (taking into account the special warnings
about RH7.0 to use kgcc and add -I/.. to the compiler directive).
When I insmod /usr/src/modules/tulip.o (which is where I compiled the
driver to test it), I still get the following error messages:
/usr/src/modules/tulip.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister
/usr/src/modules/tulip.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_register
I can see the card in /proc/pci. It's described as:
Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (Rev 17)
Vendor id=1317. Device id=985
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable.
Latency=64. Min Gnt==255.Max Lat=255.
But I still get the same error when I insmod it. And if I copy the
tulip.o and pci-scan.o over to /lib/modules/2.2.16/net, and modprobe
it, it says it can't find tulip.o.
What is the problem with this card/driver? Any clues?

Never mind. I got it. Had to insmod pci-scan first.

Hi,

I found the information at...
http://www.bcpl.net/~dbryan/ntfs-dual-boot.html
...and near the top of the page it says:

It's that last one that's the problem. I have tried it anyway, and on
selecting the DOS menu item, the system sits there with a blank screen
and a flashing cursor, and no disk activity.
Unless there's something you have to do to a partition for DOS to work
on it besides putting the files (command.com, drvspace.bin, io.sys,
msdos.sys) on it...?
The reason I don't have a floppy drive (as someone else asked) is
because the machine is second hand and I didn't get one. There is a
socket for an external drive on the port replicator, and options
including booting off one in the BIOS, so it _should_ work.
However, I tried a drive from someone else's machine and the machine
just paused and then said "Device not ready" whenever I tried to access
the drive. When I tried to boot off it it just paused and then launched
the NT boot loader anyway. This was with disks that worked and were
bootable on my desktop. The drive was completely silent and motionless
throughout.
This may have been because that drive is significantly newer than this
laptop (though it still fitted in the socket...?), or this laptop is
damaged in some way. Either way I don't know anywhere I could get
another Fujitsu external floppy drive to try.
Thanks very much to everyone who responded. I think I'm going to do a
hard disk transplant when I go back to school in January, as I know
someone there who has done something similar with his machine, and has
the appropriate adaptor to plug the HD into a desktop (certainly less
trouble than taking apart _another_ laptop).
...which brings me to my next question: can anyone point me to some
information on taking the thing apart? It's a Fujitsu LifeBook B142. I
made an exploratory attempt today and although I could see the hard
drive, the entire rear area wouldn't come apart, there's obviously some
screw I haven't found.

0.0.0.0 means that they're open on all available interfaces. Whether or
not remote connections are closed immediately isn't the point; if
they're only intended for local use, they should be listening on
127.0.0.1. There's a depressingly large amount of bad code out there.
>you don't have to close EVERYTHING, ya know...
No, you don't, but a bit of care can pay off.
To the original poster: if you can't find an appropriate configuration
option in GNOME (you can often tell things to use Unix domain sockets
rather than TCP sockets, e.g. the X font server's 'no-listen = tcp'
option), have a look at ipchains.

Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 20:07:41 GMT
Just installed RH 6.2 with Apache 1.3.12. This version Apache configuration
file is different from my very old version. I think the easiest way to know
that I have set it up correctly is to see a sample of one for this version
that is working. All the How To's I check seem to have samples for the
older version of the configuration.
Can you send me a sample of this file that is working?
Also - with all the testing I have done so far, if I try to access my web
page, I just get the root directory display instead of the web page. I am
thinking that this is just because the httpd.conf file is still not correct,
but I am not sure.
Also, I notice in the /var/log/httpd/error_log I get a message that says
"Invalid method in request" Not sure what that means?
Thanks!!
