Permissions, most likely. "chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer" as root.

Alright, I created the partitions using Partition Magic 4.0 I then ran
the demo of Partition Magic 6.0 and discovered that my copy of 4.0 wasn't
creating them properly. So 6.0 fixed the mistakes.
But now, instead of crashing with a signal 11, my computer reboots when I
hit 'next' after assigning mount points.
So any other ideas?
Thanks a bunch,

Subject: Help with CD-RW setup
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 01:57:25 GMT
Hi,
Sorry if this is a kind of FAQ.
Following the instructions in CD-Writing HOWTO, I have setup my IDE CD-RW
with ide-scsi emulation. I am able to read from the drive. However, when I
insert a writable media and mount the device, the system says the device is
write-protected and mounted read-only. This is a Iomega 12x10x32x CD-RW. It
doesn't appear on the "incompatibility list" referenced in the FAQ.
I have checked the permissions on the mount directory as well as the device
file /dev/scd0 (the device on which the IDE CD-RW is emulated as SCSI).
They have both write permissions for owner and group. I do think that this
could be a permission setting issue, but I am not able to figure out what
exactly is incorrect.
Any help is highly appreciated.

You cannot write to a CD like you do to a normal filesystem. You will
have to install tools like mkisofs, cdrecord, xcdroast etc.

Subject: Russian/Cyrillic fonts in RH6.1
Hello,
I want to configure RH6.1 so that I can use
Cyrillic (Russian) fonts.
There is a HOWTO floating around by Belikoff;
however it seems to be really out of date.
The paths of some of the files are wrong;
some of the files I can't even find using a
`find / -name ...'.
I'm pretty sure that RH6.1 has the Cyrillic
fonts installed, since I have found what looks
like KOI8 fonts. I can also already read
Russian web pages in Russian. But I want to
be able to TYPE in Russian as well, so I do
have to do some configuration.
Is anyone aware of an up-to-date HOWTO or
FAQ out there?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It sounds like you selected SCSI support as a module, and not compiled into
the kernel. You have to have the device support for your root file system
compiled into the kernel, and not as a module.

Subject: W2K in MBR + booting Mandrake from floppy: how to move to HD?
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 21:53:47 GMT
Hi,
I have W2K installed in the first two partitions, and Mandrake
installed in the next three (/boot, swap, /). Since I wasn't positive
W2K would boot OK if I added Grub in Linux's partition instead of the
MBR, I prefered to tell Linux to boot from a floppy.
Now that things work, I'd like to move the boot from the floppy into
Linux's partition, and update W2K's boot loader to list Linux as an
alternative OS.
I've read the docs on Lilo, but besides the fact that Mandrake uses
Grub instead of Lilo, most docs talk about doing the opposite, namely
creating a boot floppy once you have Linux running from the HD. Any
tip from those running W2K + Linux?
FWIW, here's /etc/lilo.conf and printout from fdisk, respectively
boot=/dev/fd0

Subject: Help with Display setup
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 14:02:54 +1100
I tried installing Red Hat Linux 6.0 and the setup seemed to go ok until i
reached the video card and monitor display.
I noticed that my video card is not listed in the menu so I selected
'unlisted' from the menu. I have an NVidia Vanta display adapter.
Also my monitor was not listed on the menu so I selected Samsung 17'' GL
model. I have a Hansol 17'' monitor and I think that my selection was
appropriate since Hansol is a division of Samsung.
After those choices I am asked to allow the system to 'probe' for the best
display configuration or not to probe. When I choose to probe, the display
on my monitor becomes garbled and freezes up.
It seems like to me that my display configuration is somehow not correct.
I would like to know what is the correct configuration for my hardware.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Its a "nslookup" problem in linux/unix...as it works differently in windows.
...nslookup wants to "resolve" itself first and
cannot use the "proxy" (gateway) dns; only way is to add a real dns ip
to the local machine's resolv.conf.

Try this: make the resolv.conf on the workstation the same as on the
gateway. Then on the workstation make sure the route table has
192.168.1.4 as the default gateway. If not, do 'route add default gw
192.168.1.4.

If Samba is running (say, you can connect to a Samba share), chances are
one of two things is happening:
- smbd is running but not nmbd. You can determine this by using "ps ax |
grep mbd" and checking the output for both. This seems unlikely unless
you've been messing with the Samba startup scripts, though.
- You've not set the correct workgroup name in smb.conf. Check that
again; it should match whatever your workgroup name is in your Windows
systems.

/etc/inetd.conf was never used to control Samba in Red Hat, at least not
as far back as I recall. inetd is a "super server" that runs other
servers. As such, it *CAN* be used to run Samba, but few distributions
do it this way because it results in delays when accessing shares, and
can sometimes produce unreliable browsing. Most distributions, including
Red Hat 7.0, start Samba directly, via startup scripts in
/etc/rc.d/init.d or somewhere similar.
FWIW, Red Hat 7.0 has replaced inetd with another package called xinetd.
What had been configured via inetd.conf is now handled by various files
in /etc/xinetd.d. This is unlikely to be a factor in your problem,
though.
> It was also possible to configure sama from (linuxconf) that is not

I don't know why, but Red Hat 7.0 is missing the linuxconf Samba tools
that were present in earlier versions of RH. IMHO, that's no great
loss, since those tools were incomplete and a bit flaky. You can
configure Samba on any platform through SWAT (a Web-based tool on port
901 -- enter http://localhost:901 in a Web browser to access it). You
must first enable SWAT, which you can do by creating a file called
/etc/xinetd.d/swat that contains the following:
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
Such a file might already exist. (I can't promise with 100% certainty
that this will work with RH; I've copied this from my Mandrake
system, and there may be some subtle difference that would cause
problems on RH.) Once you create it, restart xinetd by typing
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart".

Subject: Root partition full
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 03:53:26 GMT
My root partition is full. I'm not sure why as I thought 175M
would be plenty. I've only noticed problems recently.
I have plenty of space elsewhere. Is it possible to increase
the size of my root partition without doing a full reinstall?
I'm running Suse v6.4 on a system with 2 HDD. The df command
output is as follows:
~> df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 175M 175M 0 100% /
/dev/hda7 4.9G 1.6G 3.1G 33% /usr
/dev/hda1 15M 2.5M 12M 18% /boot
/dev/hda5 486M 27M 434M 6% /home
/dev/hda6 2.6G 597M 1.9G 23% /opt
/dev/hdb1 457M 250M 183M 58% /quantum1
/dev/hdb2 1.4G 767M 584M 57% /quantum2
/dev/hdb3 485M 7.5M 452M 2% /quantum3
Thanks,
Peter

Subject: Error compiling kernel
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 04:01:12 GMT
Hi All,
I'm trying to compile the kernel using:
make dep; make clean; make zImage
and at the very end I'm getting the following message:
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 3540 bytes.
System is 524 kB
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.
What should I change to be able to compile it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
a.
