fried my ide drive last week, I run suse 7.0, and never had a problem with
running "make, or make install". Now when I try to run make I get the

What i want to do is the following
I want to know how to change video resolution?
change it from 800x600 to 1024x768 i cang figure it out

you must have compiled in support for the Sysrq key on your keyboard
which is used if your system freezes up. I asume you have this key on
your keyboard? If you don't want the error to appear and don't want that
feature say No to that option when you are configuring your kernel.

nls is native language support
did you compile in devpts support into your kernel or did you make it a
module? You should compile it into your kernel otherwise you will get
the error you see below unlesss you put an 'insmod' line for the devpts
module (if it can even be made a module) in a startup script.

I get these errors too with nls. I dont worry about them. All it means
is that the kernel can't obviously find that module.

Hello,
Add: alias eth0 rtl8139 to /etc/modules.conf
It ii not necessary to pass io, irq settings to PCI network cards. Make
sure you remove any other entries in /etc/modules.conf that might have been
added in your other attempts at configuring your card. Look in
/var/log/messages and see if when the driver is loaded if any resource
conflicts or other error messages are reported. You can view this using the
System Log Monitor, in Gnome it is under the Programs/System menu. You will
have to be logged in as root to view this file.
To view it from the console use: less /var/log/messages. up/down arrows to
scroll, hit q to exit.

Thanks for the reply!
As for devpts....previously I had gone back into the kernel to recompile it
with support for devpts. However, under the filesystems menu (xconfig) I
can't find any option related to devpts. Seriously, I scoured that area and
couldn't find anything. Where would the support for devpts be?

There is an explanation of this somewhere, I forget where I read it. RH
ship egcs 1.1.2, also called kgcc meaning kernel gcc. The makefile for
the 2.2 kernel uses a script called kwhich to identify which system it
is compiling on and then select the correct compiler (kgcc for RH7).
The 2.4 kernel makefiles don't do this, so you need to edit gcc to kgcc
if you want to use egcs 1.1.2 to compile with.
However, there is also the need to have a working c++ compiler, and
egcs is no use for this, neither is gcc 2.95.2 for the particular
purposes described. As such, RH made a snapshot of gcc 2.96 and shipped
it as it did what was needed in this case. Some people are running
kernels compiled with 2.96-69, the latest fixed version of the compiler
updated by RH. Linus seems to feel this is bad, but apparently some
people find this works for them.
YMMV.....

Is compnay.com the *host* name of your firewall as well as the domain
name? If so it won't work. Port forwarding only works for packets on
the forwading queue; if they are directed at the firewall tiself then
they never get on to the forwarding chain.
One solution is to give the firewall a different name (same IP) and
make company.com an alias of www.company.com. Make sure that the web
server (Apache?) accept both names (ServerAlias directive).

What problem do you think this is causing? The default if you don't change
it when installing (at least on a redhat box) is localhost.localdomain. I
never tried using a single name don't know if this would cause a problem or
not. The machine I'm using now is:

Look in file /etc/fstab to set the mount options. Type 'man mount' in a
console, without the quotes, for what options are available. The options
you are going to look at are 'owner' and 'user'. Example cdrom entry in
/etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
The 'user' here will allow any user to mount the cdrom. 'noauto' means 'not
mounted at boot'. 'ro' means 'read only'. Redhat by default uses 'owner'.
Too use 'owner' the user must also be the owner of the dev, in this case it
would be /dev/cdrom. Redhat makes the logged in user the owner when they
log in. 'owner' is just more secure. The same options apply for your zip
drive.

You might try setting PNP O/S installed to "NO" in the system bios or
rearrange where your cards are installed. Probably the easiest way to fix
this.

Best place to set it is in /etc/profile, this will make it system wide.
example:
CLASSPATH="directory were you want it pointed"
export CLASSPATH
logout and log back in for the changes to take effect.
Hope these answers help.

Hi
I don't know if anyone has suggested this. It got my via with TNT on a
stock Mandrake 7.2 system with KDE working:
The problem is when you run the "make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include"
command
with KT133 & i815, and possibly others, you may get an error from insmod
that it could not load the NVDriver. Don't panic. Run the following
command:
insmod agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
Now rerun the make command. If that gives good results in loading the
driver (restart X server), you will need to add that new command to your
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules file so it will load each time you boot up.

1) Pull out the ISA controller card and look at the jumper setting.
2) Try finding it by using the following commands:
$ cat /proc/ioports
$ cat /proc/dma
$ cat /proc/interrupts
3) Under windows
Start->Setting->Control Panel->System
Do a properties on the ISA controller card to find the io port, dma and irq
