Hi Steven,
this is the URL where I downloaded version 21-6.1 of LILO:
http://soneraplaza.linux.tucows.com/conhtml/preview/8405.html
I don't know if there are helpfull instruction there aswell. There are howto's
enough on the web. You could try at:
http://howto.tucows.com/
but any howto-site will contain instructions on this.

On redhat systems you'll find a directory /usr/src/linux/configs
which contains a config file for each of the pre-built kernels.
The file /usr/src/linux/.config won't spring into existence until
you build your own kernel.

Try typing the poweroff command at a terminal prompt. On my laptop,
neither typing halt, nor using the Gnome halt option in the logout
dialog does more than halt the system, but the poweroff command both
halts and turns off the system.

Subject: "bad frames" error using pppd
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 09:07:32 GMT
I am using pppd to setup a tcp/ip connection between two linux boxes. It=
=20
works fine for some time but after a few seconds the line hanges and in =
/var/log/messages I see the following. In this case two short bad frames=
=20
came already before the connection was setup, and after finishing the=20
setup four longer bad frames followed. But it is not always in this way,=
=20
mostly the bad frames are appearing the first time after a few=20
seconds/minutes. What can be the reason for this problem? Any help aprec=
iated
PS. The telefone line and modem are working correctly (tested under=20
windows).

Highly unlikely! That's a rare old busmouse protocol, no? For a serial
mouse, "mouseman" (mousesystems?) should be more or less correct.

Yes, item (3) wasn't meant to expand the root file system, I know that
wouldn't work. What I was doing here was just checking that the ram disk
had formatted OK (mkfs.minix) and that the file system was capable of
copying a file to it (could have been any old file).
That was successful, I have interspersed regular "ls -l /" lines into my
linuxrc file to watch what the file system is doing from step to step of
my script and everything but the zcat was (is) working.

Ah, no... afraid not. If you hadn't snipped the line before you would
see:
# Just for testing purposes mount the ram disk and do
# a directory listing
mount -t minix /dev/ram /mnt
ls /mnt
# unmount the ram disk (as initrd will re-mount it)
umount /dev/ram
The umount you are referring to is simply the unmount of the ram disk
that I "ls" to test if the file system had been built correctly. I know
the /dev/ram isn't mounted because if it was I would get an error at the
"mount -t minix /dev/ram /mnt" statement along the lines of "device
busy".
I will try a umount prior to the unpack... Nope, sorry no difference.
It's a bit of a problem that the sash mount command is unable to list
the currently mounted drives. I tried swapping to the full-blown mount
command but it requires mtab / fstab and other bits & pieces which I
didn't want to get into.
More suggestions guys?

Subject: Cannot connect to ISP with Kppp
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 11:32:17 GMT
I'm trying to establish a connection via an external modem to my ISP using
Kppp.
When I watch the modem interactions via a log window I see:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L3
ATDT84221111 <--- 84221111 is my ISP's phone number
DELAY CALL
expecting CONNECT
and it just waits and waits.
Yet, when I open a terminal to the modem and type in ATDT84221111 and
press Enter the modem dials out no problem.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Newer versions of LILO don't have that problem anymore.
It shouldn't make any difference if your HD is IDE or SCSI.
Install the most recent version of LILO and you don't have
to think about it anymore.

Subject: "bad frames" error using pppd
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 10:50:26 GMT
I am using pppd to setup a tcp/ip connection between two linux boxes. It=
=20
works fine for some time but after a few seconds the line hanges and in =
/var/log/messages I see the following. In this case two short bad frames=
=20
came already before the connection was setup, and after finishing the=20
setup four longer bad frames followed. But it is not always in this way,=
=20
mostly the bad frames are appearing the first time after a few=20
seconds/minutes. What can be the reason for this problem? Any help aprec=
iated
PS. The telefone line and modem are working correctly (tested under=20
windows).
