I get this as well. I think it may have something to do with the kernel
config. Is /dev/hdd a dvd drive? If so, installing udf support into your
kernel might help. I've not tried this myself yet because it doesn't seem to
be causing me any serious problems, but I suspect thats the way to go.

-A will give you the clue .. it checks the 6th field in fstab:
If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is
returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be

If I understand right, you have a SuSE CD but cannot boot from it. The disk
images cannot be displayed by the explorer, that's ok. Just follow the
instructions (there are README's) to create a boot floppy disk. Worked for me.
Good luck

If it does not exit, then that is good, isn't it? People usually
complain when it does exit.
Why should your firewall depend on ip-up? Well, OK, I can imagine why,
and how, but it's up to you to tell me, not for me to imagine.

Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:21:34 +0100
Just FYI: People will be less confused, if you correct the spelling of
"kernal" to "kernel". And, it is common practice to create a symbolic link
/usr/src/linux to the compiling source tree. So, normally you have
directories named /usr/src/linux-2.2.16, /usr/src/linux-2.2.18,
/usr/src/linux-2.4.0 and so on, and when you need to compile e.g. a 2.2.16
kernEl :-), you do sort of
rm -f /usr/src/linux # remove old symlink, if it exists
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.16 /usr/src/linux # create new symlink
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig dep bzImage modules modules_install
And moreover, you should honour the others posts in this thread, especially
the ksymoops-upgrade mentioned...

Not sure but maybe check the gtkrc file of that particular theme
and search for scrollbar. There might be a thickness setting

Well I have to admit that the problem I was having was due to a typo on my
part.
The symbolic link was to ttys0 and not ttyS0. And to think it was staring me
in the face all the time.
Thanks for the suggestions.

When the system loads a module, it looks in /etc/conf.modules (or
/etc/modules.conf, if you have a newer system) for parameters to
pass to the module. Perhaps one of the parameters (especially the
I/O address ) is not correct for the printer port you're using?

Ah, but I *do* want it checked. Just not every week!
Another poster pointed me to tune2fs, which should do the job nicely
once I get the root partition unmounted (where's that rescue disk :-).
I had tried looking for "tunefs" but didn't think about the 2.

DRI depends on a kernel (in addition to an XFree86) module running for
your
particular card.
Check out /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.DRIcomp for information on
compiling
and installing the required kernel module. Once you have the kernel
module
loaded (and make sure your "Module" section of XF86Config contains
entries
for "glx" and "GLcore" as well as "dri"), DRI should come up.
Since the subject line of your message mentions agpgart, I would also
suggest
you pay particular attention to the section of README.DRIcomp dealing
with
configuring your kernel for AGP support (if you haven't already done
so).
Hope this helps.

With a large drive like the one ou have, you might
consider using ext3 instead of ext2. This should also
reduce fsck times.

It's not an error, it's a fact.
Obviously you want to move (it's not an upgrade) shlibs to a 2.2
version as well, at the same time.
Myself, I'd probably check that the ldlinux in glibc-new works fine
with the old shlibs (it probably will) by unpacking it separately and trying
it, and then merrily override the advisory, while making sure that I
kept an old copy of ld-linux.so arround.
