In your case, I would be suspicious about 1st and 2nd IDE. I believe
M$-Win* will not even boot from a disk that is not master on the first
IDE interface. Please check that first.
I had a similar message when installing Storm recently, but the problem
seemed to be that the existing partition table had some erroneous
division. I switched to another console ([Alt]{f2]) and ran a partition
program (cfdisk) to re-partition my disks; then the install program
would recognise the disks. Of course this wipes all data on the disk.
Suckxess,

Dear Guru,
I recently installed RedHat 7.0. And I chose my desktop to be KDE
during installation.
How can I switch back to Gnome? I searched from the KDE desktop but
cannot find anything to switch between these 2 desktops.
Thanks for your help.

Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 22:54:58 GMT
Hi,
I installed RedHat 7.0 workstation and installed xinetd, wu-ftpd and
telnetd.
I connect my Win2K PC on the same LAN and try to telnet and ftp to the
RedHat server. It takes very long (over 2 minutes) to have a telnet
login screen coming back from RedHat. For ftp, it does not ask me for
and username/password and connected refused.
I setup my hostname and doman name properly. The ftpaccess file is
default.
However, if I use the telnet and ftp clients on the RedHat, it works
quick.
Any clue?

i run kppp as normal user after this steps
1. chmod +s /usr/sbin/kppp (set UID) for /usr/sbin/kppp
2. edit k menu K/internet/kppp to start /usr/sbin/kppp
3. create /etc/kppp.allow file which consists username of the user who
should run kppp
There may be are more elegant solution, but it works.

1. This problem with RH is probably caused by the fact that KDE is using
Gnome icons and KDE icons. You can find the icon which will probably be in
the /usr/share/icons/... folders.
KDE under RH tends to use hicolor folder (if you have that option selected
in KControl panel) subfolder 32x32 (4 subfolders underneath each size
folder, ie 32x32, 16x16, etc). Cp to your /home directory and edit with
Gimp to 16x16, rename it foo_16x16.png and put it back into the folder and
use it.
2) PPP problem is probably caused because KPPP is linked to a file called
help console for whatever dumb reason. Go to /usr/bin/ and locate file. If
linked to help console - delete it. Do chmod +s /usr/sbin/kppp; ln -sf
/usr/sbin/kppp /usr/bin/kppp That should do it for you.

When you say 'empty' do you mean 'unpartitioned' or 'partitioned with no
data on it?'

This sounds like 'partitioned with no data on it.'

Try deleting the unused partitions and starting the install up again.

I too recently installed RH7.0 and using a graphical login you can
select which desktop you wish KDE Gnome etc. although this came from
when you installed RH you get to choose which or both desktops you want
loaded.. You may have to reinstall to get both. I 'ain't a technohead

Well! as I understand from doing the same thing a
couple of days ago( much cursing and head banging)
"ppp-on" sets up some variables including a path to
"ppp-on-dialer" eg 'DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer'
and then calls 'pppd' and passes it all over.
IS YOUR "dialer_script" path correct and does the file (ppp-on-dialer)
actually exist
The file "pp-on-dialer" contains all the ,TIMEOUT,OK OGIN
ASSWORD stuff and the responses. It also calls chat, eg
"exe chat -v" which does all the talking with the ISP.
The '-v' after chat logs a file in /var/log/messages; you might
examine this.
I am guessing here but TIMEOUT: command not found
sounds as though the file contains no answering response
eg TIMEOUT: 3
OK: ATDT$telephone
OGIN: $account name
and so on
Log onto the ISP manualy and watch what they send,
my problem was the script expecting to see LOGIN
and my ISP sends "Username".
Took some time befor I fell over that, when you're
tired you miss the bloody obvious :-)

Subject: unable to install pcmcia-support
Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 23:51:31 GMT
hi,
after updating to kernel 2.2.18 (SuSe 7.0) pcmcia
doesn't work any longer (sony vaio sr1k - cd-rom
only works with an pcmcia-card <grrr>).
in the pcmcia-how-to it is written that: rpm -bi
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/pcmcia.spec should be
executed.
... but this is not working:
...
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/wait.h:19:
redefinition of 'wait_queue_head_t'
../include/pcmcia/k_compat.h:64:
'wait_queue_head_t' previously declared here
make[1]:***[cs.o]Error 1
make[1]:Leaving directory
'/usr/src/packages/BUILD/pcmcia-cs-3.1.17/modules'
make:***[all]Error 2
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70831 (%build)
doin' it the hard-way:
pcmcia***.tar.gz -> to a folder
make config
make all (also stops)
does anybody has/had the same problem or knows an
answer/solution?
thanks in advance,
horst

Either something wordwrapped or you forgot a quote somewhere. In most
cases you do not even need the OGIN: and ASSWORD: if you put your ISP
username and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
See if anything looks different between the original script (did you get
that from /usr/doc/ppp-<version>) and your script. Otherwise you could
try using linuxconf to set up a ppp connection using pap authentication,
and you can bring that up using '/sbin/ifup ppp0'. If you want a normal
user to be able to start and stop it, you should check that option in
linuxconf. Or if you have X runnning you can do it with netcfg. You
don't say if you have X running or which window manager, so I will not
detail their dialers.
You might need to add the noauth option to /etc/ppp/options if you get any
error about the peer not authenticating or not authorized to use its IP.
