try using your lilo.conf settings plus
alias scsi_hostadapters ide-scsi
and nothing else in your /etc/modules.conf file
this is all I needed to edit in order to mount my HP 9100; use
lsmod
to verify that the ide-scsi driver was loaded; if it is, then try
cdrecord -scanbus
to see the name/id of the SCSI device (/etc/cdrecord.conf should contain 0,0,0
as the device ID); if the device ID is 0 then you should be able to mount your
CD-RW drive under
/dev/scd0
All these tests were done using the lock stock and barrel RedHat 2.2.12-20 and
2.2.16-3 kernels without any recompilations
Also, try adding 'ide0=dma ide1=dma' to your lilo.conf file, this will/should
enable DMA support in your Linux kernel (provided you compiled it in) and will
give you a nice speed boost :-)

Subject: Re: Removing a Directory From My PATH
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 10:33:01 +0100
That's correct. But why does none of all posters mention 'export'? If I want
needed to modify the PATH, I'd always go like this (works with sh and bash):
PATH=/new/path/directory:$PATH; export PATH
/path/to/application
PATH=`echo $PATH|sed 's/^\/new\/path\/directory.//'`; export $PATH
or, to define a new PATH only for the lifetime of the process created, it's
best to use a rarely known shell syntax:
PATH=/new/path/directory:$PATH /path/to/application
using the syntax scheme: <variable>=<value> <command>, which exports the new
setting to the process created from <command> and it's child processes
(that's what 'export' does permanently).

If you can, make a swap partition on sdd too.(it's not needed though)
I assume /dev/sdd1 is mounted to /big:
cd /big && mkdir boot usr var tmp home
cp -ax /boot /big/boot
cp -ax /usr /big/usr
cp -ax /var /big/var
cp -ax /tmp /big/tmp
cp -ax /home /big/home
cp -ax / /big
cd /big/etc
edit lilo.conf to incorporate the changes
edit fstab to incorporate the changes
This last file also holds a reference to swap
Either make a swap partition on sdd and run mkswap on it,
or make a swapfile and run mkswap on that
swapfile:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/big/swap_file bs=1M count=64 (creates a 64MB big
swapfile)
mkswap /big/swap_file
add to /big/etc/fstab:
/swap_file swap swap defaults 0 0
Now try to boot from the new disc:
LILO: linux root=/dev/sdd1
Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo (Don't overwrite the old LILO, check if
lilo.conf is correct first!!!!)
and make a bootfloppy.

Appreciate your help, Svend Olaf. I think, I understand a little bit more
now :-).
If I get you right, the "end cylinder" for line 4 (PCyl=1306, N=2) should
read "2901*" instead of "3392*"? And accordingly, in line 6 (PCyl=2612,
N=2), it should be "3290*" instead of "3392*" (this I meant with "russian
doll" structure as opposed to "chaining", what is what you seem to prefer),
and finally, line 8 (PCyl=2902/N=2) should have an "end cylinder" value of
"3328*" instead of "3392*"?
The "Num" values should be changed "accordingly" - does this mean:
- change (3392-2612+1)*255*63=12,546,765 to (2901-2612+1)*255*63 =
4,658,850, and
- change (3392-2902+1)*255*63=7,887,915 to (3290-2902+1)*255*63 =
6,249,285, and finally
- change (3392-3291+1)*255*63=1,638,630 to (3328-3291+1)*255*63 =
610,470 ?
Moreover, I now see how the "Rel" values of "1" in line 7 and 9 can be
explained (as opposed to "63" in lines 1,3 and 5). There are simply zero
unused sectors following the extended partition table, while others waste 62
sectors on this occasion. OK! This perfectly fits with the changes I
outlined above, since 6,249,285-1=6,249,284 and 610,470-1=610,469.
Am I right up to here ?
But, what I do not yet quite understand, is this:
> The "NB" may be the result of the actual partition space being a little
smaller than according to the partition tables.
> This is as it should be, since "end sector" should be 63.
All "end sectors" ARE 63 (it's the third-to-last column, isn't it?) ?
And how can one compute the amount of "actual partition space" ?
So, what more changes could I apply, especially with respect to the "#" and
"*" notation.?
With what kind of tool could one try to commit the changes to the partition
tables (of course, after backing up all vital data)? PTEDIT from a Win9x
Boot Disk/bootable CD-ROM, or editpart under Linux booted from a floppy or
bootable CD-ROM?

Hello,
get a decent distro, I don't know about RH, I use SuSE.
Apache kicks ass, you change something in httpd.conf and
enter (SuSE) /sbin/init.d/apache reload and you're done...:-)
The >60% marker share netcraft mentions for apache, is not because of its
price!
It's just rock stable, has features other www server can only dream of (ie.
mod_rewrite), has very low CPU usage and
performs very well, even under high load. It beats the hell out of other
propiretary www server, as sendmail/postfix
does for mailserving.
Don't be fooled by adds that tell you: Hey, we have xxx enterprise crap for
you, which is really great and must buy!
(Bullshit, I have seen OSS sw handle things like webserving/mailserving
with ease on commercial UNIX, that had something
propiretary ($$) installed before, which couldn't handle the load and only
made trouble)
Just get a good book about apache and read it...:-)
Yes, you can use SAMBA for Windows file/printer/time service. Somewhere I
read that it's used on
the greatest Win-Network in the world, cause it's 3~4x times faster than
Win ? could do it...
Don't expect an unbiased answer on comp.os.linux....:-)
Good luck

Subject: Smallest Linux with PCMCIA+Lucent WaveLAN support
Date: 31 Jan 2001 10:48:13 GMT
hi,
I'd like to install linux onto a 64 meg flashcard that has support
for PCMCIA and the Lucent WaveLAN IEEE (Orinoco) wireless pcmcia
card. I have no idea if the mulinux SRV package pcmcia support includes
the drivers for the lucent, and trying to compile the drivers under
mulinux resulted in all kinds of errors even after manually installing
the 2.0.36 source and tweaking the configure script a little. :(
The smallest RH6.2 install (with no packages) is 110MB. I could
probably trim it down, but it would still be bloated I think.
Any ideas?
thanks!

i unpluged the disks to change the mobo and pluged it in the new one.
I startet my old root partition with the rescue cd (SUSE 7.0) and rerun
lilo.
but lilo doesn't work anymore. I tryed to install lilo on several
drives.
hda1 doesn't work. My BIOS can switch booting form IDE or SCSI. So i
installed lilo on drive sda1,5,6 (i have 2 partions on sda1) marked it
active and toled my AHA2940 SCSI Controler to boot from the first SCSI
Disk. But LILO wont start my system. The same with sdb1.

Subject: sound in kernel 2.4.0
Date: 31 Jan 2001 10:49:31 GMT
Hi,
I just complied the kernel 2.4.0 and found that
I cannot listen to my MP3s.
The configs are:
RedHat 7.0 + kernel 2.4.0 + glibc2.2
sound card is the onboard CS42XX from Dell GXa.
I can listen to MP3s in old kernel while only
noise under the new one. The booting message
show that the modules (of coz the new one) are
loaded. And I can hear the sound effects of
some games. Can somebody help me on this?

Then check that both the BIOS and linux use the same CHS settings.
