You did use the map-drive commands too, right.
Otherwise it will indeed fail. Windows needs to be on 0x80, or it will
not boot.
If it's very old, perhaps, but it's very unlikely.
try to use the disk= commands too.
(it's in man lilo.conf IIRC)

Nope.

You would indeed need a bootfloppy for the first boot.
Then you can adjust lilo.conf and place LILO again in the MBR

I hope I could be of some help.
I don't have the time now, but if you're still unclear, I'll
try to elaborate more tomorrow.

make sure these lines are in /etc/conf.modules or modules.conf depending
which the system uses.
alias eth0 module-name
alias eth1 module-name
Then configure the network.

Do you use the rivafb.o framebuffer device for your console? Disable this in
your kernel configuration and everything should be fine...

Warning - could be a stupid newbie answer !
I used to get this with my Mandrake 7.1 machine (same NIC)
when you I went to netconf (I think) the system did not seem to
recognise that it was a 3C509 card - once I told it to use that
module all was well

An interesting concept; I'll have to try it sometime. (BTW, we're a lab,
running 100Mbit, so don't really need the security or compression.)
Vincent Zweije got me pointed in the direction I needed to go, though.
Adding `xhost +` to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 let me put up displays without
having to have anybody log in.
Thanks to everybody for their help.

Subject: lilo append question
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 11:01:06 -0500
I am using LILO 0.21-15 from RH 6.2. I need to have quite a few
specify quite a few boot options to get the kernel to boot properly
with my hardware. I use the "append" option in /etc/lilo.conf,
together with \ to break new lines if necessarily. However, I find
that regardless of whether I enter the parameters in one line or more,
it always truncate after a few characters...
Part of the line that I use is:
append="x86_serial_nr=1 ide2=0x8400,0x8002 ide3=0x7800,0x7402"
but the boot options seem to be truncated as
"x86_serial_nr=1 ide2=0x8400,0x8002 ide3=0x"
I cannot find any documentation on this behavior. Is this a bug?

Subject: Stuck in RH 5.2 + gcc 2.7
Date: 23 Jan 2001 16:39:08 GMT
Have RH 5.2, gcc 2.7.0 (came with 5.2 at the time.) I need to upgrade
to gcc 2.95.2.
When I try the rpm route to 2.95.1 or 2.96 (all that I find on mirror
sites; 2.95.2 RPM is available at redhat.com, but connecting to their
ftp server is an impossibility), I get all kinds of dependencies and
conflicts that seem to be circular. For example, trying to update
glibc to 2.2-12 from rpm tells me that there are various packages on
my machine that need previous versions of libc.so (part of glibc). Try
to update things that depend on glibc (like gcc) and they tell you
that you must have a newer glibc first.
Do I just start forcing these updates through rpm? Should I try to
install gcc 2.95.2 from a *.tar.gz file, and will that include the cpp
and glibc stuff that I need?
My first impulse was to simply buy RH7.0 and upgrade from 5.2. Then, I
started reading recommendations on this group to avoid 7.0. Should I
download or buy RH 6.2? (cannot seem to buy it from RedHat any more, I
noticed.)
Thanks for any advice.

Subject: PCI USR 5610 setup
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 11:15:55 -0500
Hi,
I have read lots of info on this on the web and various newsgroup
archives, but I have not been able to talk to the modem with any of
these solutions.
I have a USR Internal PCI Faxmodem (5610), detected as COM 5, IRQ
10, and port 0x8800 on Win ME. I also have a Promise IDE controller
that is using IRQ 10 (perhaps that's the problem...). I am running RH
6.2, kernel 2.2.16-3 (from RH update), serial driver 5.05, and
setserial 2.17.
After rebuilding the kernel, the serial driver loaded up and
detected correctly that the modem is on ttyS4. setserial also seem to
find the IRQ and port properly. But when I tried using minicom to
talk to the modem, nothing happens. The RH dial up config tool also
refuses to believe that I have a modem on ttyS4. I don't know if it
is the problem of using the same IRQ as the IDE controller, but I do
not know how to change the IRQ setting of either of those devices.
