All,
I am trying to run the Red Hat 7 install on my dual p3 800 Dell
precision workstation. The problem is, the install hangs at the loading
SCSI drivers portion. The message is something like "loading ahaxxxx"
or something like that. I don't have the disks here at the moment, so I
can't give the actual text til Monday. I do in fact have 2 SCSI drives
in the system, so at least it is getting that part right... Anyone know
of a workaround or am I out of luck?
Thanks,
Ed

Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2001 17:16:46 -0500
Hi,
I've noticed that RedHat (including RH7) have serious
issues working with S3 video cards. I myself have never
used one, but all my friends and colleagues that ask me
for advice with their Linux installation run into big
trouble whenever they have an S3 video card.
It is in the list of recognized vide cards in the HCL;
however, I have *never* been able to get RH to recognize
and work with one of those cards. What am I missing?
Is there a way to download some kind of driver, module,
RPM so that I can make it work easily?
Thanks for any info/pointers,
Carlos

hi,
a couple of things i'd first suggest:
o have you installed all the available patches for redhat7 ? there are
a number of fixes for various things.
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/redhat/updates/7.0/i386/
o you should check permissions on various things. e.g does
/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm actually exist ? is it root readable
only ? if you can't find it maybe you need to run
cd /var ; find . -name packages-rpm -ls
>Would really appreciate any help/ideas on these problems - very annoying

i tend to recommend backing up data and config files and going a clean
install. it tends to save a lot of grief. you can also specify at
install time that you want KDE/GNOME so you don't have to install
packages separately.

I'm having a bit of trouble here!
For some reason or another I can only use my modem and my sound card as root.
No other user has permission to use these. How do I go about changing this?
Any help concerning this, would be greatly appreciated.

Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2001 23:06:08 GMT
Dan,
Thanks for your response.
I'm not certain you understand my predicament.
When you say "link" you are referring to microsoft short-cuts right (*.lnk)?
I have not heard of smart/stupid links, but I also don't think it is the issue
-- but a good tid-bit of info. never-the-less, and I appreciate it.
I have been working some more on the issue and it comes down to this: NT
clients cannot access the hidden shares on the network (or, more specifically,
the directories underneath them). I have a directory called "group1" under
the /home hidden samba share (browseable = no). The NT client cannot access
these shares by clicking on them. The only way they can be accessed is if the
address is typed in at the address bar. Then, the contents become viewable --
but again, not clickable. If an NT user clicks on any of these icons, they
get this error: "The network name cannot be found" (or something very
similar). I have been very careful about making sure they have the
appropriate rights to these shares (mode=770, and they are group members).
I had tried clicking and dragging a shortcut to one of these directories onto
the local NT desktop. The same error occurs (I am not dealing with old links
or links copied from another machine). I also tried creating a short-cut from
scratch, and it rejects it when I type in the address that it points to with
the same error.
It appears that there is something qualitatively different about clicking
through directories and navigating command prompt style. Something most
likely to do with netbios and the way it interprets commands.
I did, eventually, find a work around for this issue. It is not a solution,
mind, but it does work. If I map out a drive old-fashioned style (net use)
then make a short-cut pointing to the mapped drive -- it works! But it is
nothing nearly as elegant as I had envisioned.
Again, I appreciate your help. If you have anymore input on the issue, I
would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Everybody,

this bad ? Unfortunately I have no clue.

Subject: pppd SNK Challenge from server
Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2001 23:38:02 GMT
I have read throught many documents on setting up
the ppp connection to my ISP provider which is a
Window NT. The best one I could follow was How
to hook up PPP by W.G. Unruh,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
As you can see from the ppp.log everything goes
fairly smoothly after executing this at the
command line. pppd /dev/ttyS3 57600 debug
connect " /usr/sbin/chat -v '' ATD5555551212
CONNECT CLIENT ogin: mylogin assword: mypassword
ppp"
That problem exist when it wants the SNK
Challenge. Somehow the chat script knows to send
my password, I don't know why. Regardless, it
does not want that and I do not know what it
wants.
I tried asking the people who are in charge of
the Windows NT server box but they can not give
me any information (they play stupid and say we
only support Windows, like they can't tell me
what authenication protocal they use).
I messed with the pap-secrets and the chap-
secrets to no avail.
I also installed dhcp so it should automatically
place the remote ip address into resolv.conf.
That seems to work.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I've been repeatedly told that my drive is going out when i get that
error. But I don't believe it. It only happens in linux, not windows,
which runs on the same drive. I think it's something to do with either
the drive being 90% full or the irq/dma setup, but haven't a clue.
Anyway, I've been getting that error for months. My computer is a
Compaq, famous for unsupported, proprietory hardware setup.

I just did a new install with RH 6.1 (Graphical setup) and
have had a problem that has never come up before. The mouse is
ERRATIC. Unusable since it jumps all over the screen.
At first I thought it was a very BAD mouse but switched them
(serial) then moved to a PS/2 mouse with the same results. Seems to
want to stick to the top of the screen and will only move to the
center of the screen before jumping to the right again.
So it happens on both serial and ps/2. Anyone got any ideas?
The system is am AmD/500, FIC VA503+ motherboard. I've used the FIC
PA2013 before with no problems...

No it will not. gnoise buffers do not trasfer from one session to the

You could use sox to write a raw files, then cat then together through
sox asgain to get one long .wav
sox file1.wav -t .sw -r 44100 file1.raw
sox file2.wav -t .sw -r 44100 file2.raw
cat file1.raw file2.raw|sox -t .sw -r 44100 - file3.wav
should give you a single .wav file containing both of the other two
files, which you can edit with gnoise (although gnoise with more than
about 15 min of file can get very slow.)
....

a .wav file contains the length of the file in the header. Also the
second files header would get messed up with the music.

Set the right ACL in your squid.conf and reload squid.
Read some docs on www.samba.org....

Hello,
help is on your box,
apropos syslogd should show you the available man pages, it's well

how to setup this, of course you can log via UDP 514 and to the normal

Just be sure to not block this port via ipchains and don't forget to
