How about /var/log/XFree86.log file? There should be some hints in
there.
Most likely the kernel driver is not loading with the new kernel. Do an
lsmod and see what drivers are running. Is agpgart enabled?

I would like to help, but need a little more information; so here goes
the third degree. ;o)
<p>1) Exactly what is happening just before the machine freezes?
<br>2) Are you getting any kind of error messages?
<br>3) Have you tried booting the machine with a rescue floppy?
If the install has gotten to the post install phase the base OS might be
loaded.
<p>I had problems upgrading to RHL 7.0 on my machine (also a dual Pentium)
and was able to get installation help free from Red Hat support.
If you have a machine available that you can access the Internet with,
register your copy of RHL. Once the registration is confirmed via
return e-mail, you can call Red Hat support. Instructions are on
page 129 of the Installation Guide you received with the software.
You can complete the registration process at www.redhat.com/support.
If you downloaded the OS, I'm not sure if you can get the free support.
<p>Sorry. I know I sound like an advertisement sometimes.

Subject: Problem with Disk Druid
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 19:48:14 +0200
First of all I must say that this is my first meeting with Linux, so I
don't know these things so well. And my english isn't very good. So
anyway I have a 30 gb hard drive and I have given 4.5 gigabytes for
RedHat 6.0. I have a Windows 98 SE on the same hard drive and I want to
keep it as a gaming OS. When I get to Disk Druid and delete the 4.5 gb
partition which I have created with fips and try to create 4 gigabytes
large / Linux Native type partition the Disk Druid tells me that there
isn't any more space left. I have tried making a smaller partition but
it doesn't seem to help. But the strangest thing is that when I try to
make different name partition, /home for example it does that just fine.
What should I do?

If you are already into emacs you have gnus.
Me, I go for tin for reading news with leaf-
node to fetch the news. Mutt and Pine are both
choice e-mailclients - with procmail for fil-

Setting up e-mail under Linux can be a bit tricky
but very powerfull once you get it right.
You won't be sorry you put in the extra effort.

Subject: Software RAID on ReiserFS (?)
Date: 14 Feb 2001 18:29:10 GMT
I'm wondering if anyone's tried configuring a software RAID on ReiserFS.
We're currently using software RAID (5) with 4 IDE drives. The problem
with putting the RAID on ext2 is that it takes forever to boot up
if there's a power outage (it causes about 2 hours of downtime)
I'd be interested to know if anyone's done this.
Also, does Mandrake 7.2 include support for ReiserFS ?

I read an article that seems to almost mirror the situation you're in,
except for the fact that the author was setting up his network from scratch.
It may still prove illuminating.
<p><A
HREF="http://www.linuxnewbie.org/articles/linuxovrnt1.html">http://www.linuxnewbie.org/articles/linuxovrnt1.html</A>
<p>The Linuxnewbie site is a good one to check out for people new to Linux.
There are several other good ones:
<p>www.linuxworld.com news and
information about all things Linux
<br>www.linuxstart.com
links to all sorts of sites for software, information, fun, etc.
<br>www.linuxdoc.org
Linux Documentation Project (LDP) great place to look for HOW-T0's,
guides and manuals
<br>www.linuxsecurity.com the name says it
all
<p>As far as the best Linux distribution, you're likely to get a lot of
answers. We've been using Red Hat 7.0 with pretty decent results.
There are a few third party products that still don't run on v7.0, but
do on v6.2, so you may want to check that out before you commit.
Either way, you can buy entire server packages, including the OS, for under
$200 US. There are no license fees, so you can install the software
on as many machines as you like.
<p>I have heard good things about Debian Linux. It is supposed to
be simple and reliable.
<p>Whatever distribution you decide to go to, be sure to read the installation
instructions thoroughly before you install. You'll need to know exactly
what model you have of sound cards, video cards, and pretty much everything
else you have installed because the install process is going to ask for
it.
<p>Good luck and have fun!

Are you acutally getting an error? I have DHCP running like a champ,
but it still doesn't show-up in Linuxconf, probably because I didn't set
it up there. There is a selection for DHCP/BOOTP, but the values
are blank. I set it up using vi, then started it by running /etc/init.d/dhcpd
start.
<p>If it isn't showing up at all try running this on the command line to
see if it is indeed installed:
<p>rpm -qa | grep dhcp
<p>If dhcpd is installed this will return the names of the packages it
was installed with. If it is installed try using this to see where
dhcpd itself lives: (You need to be logged in as root to get the

<p>which dhcpd
<p>This should show that dhcpd is in the /usr/sbin directory. If
this all shows dhcpd to be in its proper place, you may want to either
try re-installing from the installation CD, or downloading a new copy from
the Internet and installing it. You may also want to look it up in
your documentation that came with your RHL7.0 distribution and learn how
to set it up by hand. This seems to be "old fashioned", but it really
would benefit you to know how it is done just in case you need to troubleshoot
down the line.

I was able to get DHCP running under RH7, but I can't get it to start
automatically when I boot the server. RH7 uses xinetd to start these
kinds of things and I haven't found an xinetd script to put into the
appropriate place.
Any suggestions? I haven't found any help in learning to write xinetd

Matt,
<p>A couple things to check. First, check to make sure there is an
autofs start-up script in /etc/rc.d/init.d. If there is, make sure
there is a soft link to it in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d.
If not run
<p>cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
<br>ln -s S70autofs ../init.d/autofs
<br>cd ../rc5.d
<br>ln -s S70autofs ../init.d/autofs
<br>/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs
<p>This should get autofs up and running, and it will automatically start
every time you boot up.
<p>If they are there, run the chkconfig --list and grep for autofs.
It should show to be on in both run levels 3 and 5. If not run
<p>chkconfig --level 35 autofs on
<p>If autofs is not listed in chkconfig, check to see if it's installed:
<p>rpm -qa | grep autofs
<p>This will show you the package used to install it. If you've gone
through all this and still can't get it running, you're on your own, bubba.

If the P166 machine is not being used for anything,

for it, connect one to the hub and one to the cable
modem. Connect the other two computers to the hub.
I don't know if your printer has ethernet networking
capability. If so, then connect that to the hub too,
if not, then connect it to the AMD K6 workstation.
If you are using the P166 machine, then get another
computer for the router/firewall. A 386 with 8MB
RAM should be more than enough. You can probably
pick one up for about $25 or find one someone is
throwing out and get it for free. Install Linux
and 2 NIC's, connect one to the hub and the other

Subject: canging default partitions?
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 19:44:58 GMT
I used the default RH7 Workstation install, and it created the following:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3 24066 83
Linux
/dev/hda2 4 3649 29286495 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 4 3640 29214171 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 3641 3649 72261 82 Linux swap
I would like to resize the hda5 partition and create another partition for
alt linux builds.
I am not sure how to resize2fs this partition, because I don't know if I can
unmount it?
All I would like to do is resize it so that I can create another Linux
partition of 1GB...any ideas?
Thanks,
Denton
