Well then I would say: go with DOS FDISK.
You can however not create linux partitions with it.
Make sure the extended partition fills the entire disc.
You can partition the unallocated space during the linux installation.
Just make sure that the linux partition /boot is on, will be entirely
below cyl. 1024

Hi
Ive added a 20g maxtor to an old Micron p200. The bios only sees 8 gig
on the hard drive. I've tried flashing it with a micron update for the
m/b (an intel) but that failed.
If the bios only sees 8 gig will RH6.2 only see 8 gig? During the
partitioning it saw the whole 20 gig. Does that mean that the whole 20
gig will be available?
Thanks

Hi Marc,
I suspect the settings in /etc/adjtime are off so that your clock is
getting more out of synch every time you start linux. Check out the man
page for clock. Also the Clock-mini-howto is very helpful
(www.linuxdocs.org).

The bad magic number message usually means that your your CD drive doesn't
have 512 bytes blocks which the sun needs to boot. Look and see if your
CD has a jumper to force 512 byes blocks.

Subject: Re: need to add Ethernet Module...How?
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 16:15:44 GMT
If you haven't tried yet, I'd recommend installing the hardware first, and
seeing if Redhat picks it up... you can configure the interface itself using
either "linuxconf", or the simpler (my preferred) "netcfg" from within
X-windows.
I hadn't noticed any problems with the gcc compiler - I used the gcc compiler
provided with Rhat 7 (gcc ver 2.96), and had no troubles, although having looked
at the buglist on redhat's site for bugs fixed by the new build, this is
probably 'cos most of the bugs seem to apply to C++ compilation, and the kernel
is in C, so I may have been lucky - I'm downloading the newer build now that
fixes the bugs reported.
If you are facing a recompile of the kernel, then rather than using the kernel
sources supplied with rhat 7, go get either 2.2.18, or the recently releaed 2.4
(from kernel.org), as they include security fixes that have been released since
Rhat released 7.0.
If you've never compiled a kernel before, here are some pointers of things to
look out for:
1) Unpack the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux-2.2.16 (or whatever version you
grab), then make a symbolic link ("man ln" for help) called /usr/src/linux that
points to the source directory. Don't just unpack it into /usr/src/linux, as
this can cause problems with already installed kernel sources (e.g. if you
selected to include the Kernel Development rpm at install)
2) The steps to compile a kernel are (in order):
make xconfig (runs an X interface for kernel configuration)
make dep (makes dependencies)
make bzImage (compiles the kernel itself)
make modules (compiles any kernel modules)
make modules_install (installs the compiled modules appropriately)
make install (copies the kernel image into /boot - this can be done manually)
3) DO NOT REBOOT THE SYSTEM UNTIL YOU'VE CHANGED LILO TO BOOT THE NEW IMAGE AS
WELL AS PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE OLD KERNEL!
(I know this is loud, but it saves sooo much headache if things go wrong :-)
To do this, edit /etc/lilo.conf, and add a new entry that points to the old
kernel image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16), as well as changing the existing entry to
point to the new one - that way, if you experience problems booting the new
kernel, you can at least boot into the old one to try again! Don't forget to
re-run "lilo" after changing lilo.conf, and before rebooting.
4) Read /usr/src/linux/README for a fuller explanation of kernel compilation and
installation.
Regards,
Hilton.

Also have upgraded modutils, mount, util-linux, losetup and e2fsprogs. And
the kernel was compiled with kgcc (egcs 1.1.2) - and not the buggy 2.96
gcc RedHat ships with 7.0.

Hello,
you don't write which distro you use?
With SuSE (don't know about others) you could boot of from floppy, start
yast and install
from network (nfs) or via ftp, a minimal system that would easily fit on
you 270 MB machine.
Maybe you should provide some more infos, in order to make it possible for
others to help you!

I had this problem, which I decided was due to junkbuster's
logrotate being wonky. I filed a bug report at the junkbuster
site, which was never answered.
When I looked inside the directory (not easy!) I found that it
was a jungle logrotate .gz's, like:
junkbuster.1.gz.3.gz.1.gz...
I wish I could give you some hints, but the delete of this
monster was a nightmare, for example, doing some step on the way
to delete I hung my system after which I had to boot with a
recovery disk and my recall of what I did is dim.
After somehow deleting the file I turned off junkbuster logging
by setting debug=0 in /etc/junkbuster/config

Right. I saw this followed by: 'File not found' when I've tried: "# rm

Subject: kernel-2.4.0 vs cdrom/burner
I have a cd burner, an older ACER CDRW-6206 that works great under
2.2.18.
Trying to have the same options vis-a-vis ide-scsi emulation etc turned
on as I build a 2.4.0 kernel, but it refuses to recognize it on bootup
to a 2.4.0 kernel even though the detection is the same according to the
early dmesg reports.
Later in the dmesg report there is an advisory about an irq conflict,
and it suggests I try 'pci=autoirq', whatever that is. I've put the
bios in pci plug-n-play/automatic mode as it wasn't before, but that
made no diff for either kernel version, 2.2.18 works, 2.4.0 doesn't.
Kudzu puts it back in on a 2.2.18 bootup, kudzu takes it out on a 2.4.0
bootup. If I tell kudzu to ignore it, its not accessable when booted to
2.4.0.
I've also put that as a longer line in the
'append="MEM=256M pci=autoirq"'
in lilo, but all that gets me is a report in dmesg on the next line
after the command line is listed, advising that pci=autoirq is an
unknown option.
So what, or where, do I do to fix that?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene

Reiserfs is an alternate filesystem for linux. If you do not know, if you
need it, you probably don't. Try to do a 'grep reiserfs /etc/fstab'. If
this finds anything, you will need it.

Install Mandrake with the RAID controller in the machine and then boot into
Linux and add the Adaptec controller afterwards. This should allow you to
install Mandrake with ease and then get both cards working at the same time.
