It disconnected because the maximum packet size OpenSSH will accept is
2^18 = 262144 bytes.  That is the explicit maximum in SSH-1.  SSH-2
requires that implementations accept packets at least 35000 bytes long, so
that value works for SSH-2 as well.

    James> To answer the original poster's question, make shure both are

SSH-2 is explicitly *not* backwards compatible with SSH-1 -- but this is
not the problem.  Both versions of the protocol begin with each side
transmitting a version string.  If there's a mismatch, one side will
end the session with a sensible error message, before even switching to
the packet protocol.  The symptoms here mean that both sides thought there
was a common protocol version supported, and got some way into the
conversation when one side got a corrupt packet.

The reason I wrote the bit about 1349676916 = "Prot", is that it is not
uncommon for some software problem to cause one side to emit a text
message into the middle of the SSH protocol stream (this is especially
easy to get if you're starting sshd from inetd).  If this happens on a
packet boundary, then one side interprets the first four bytes of the text
as the packet size, which is usually out of bounds.  So decoding the
reported bogus packet size in this way is useful to get a clue as to
what's going on.

Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 04:31:53 GMT

Julius,

1) If you are using RAID5, then you can lose ONE drive (if no hot spare is
configured) and continue to operate with full functionality, meaning no data
loss and maintaining the ability to boot.  You better plan an outage ASAP
however to get the new drive in place if no hot-plug (or, if you are using a
hardware array controller that supports hot plug devices like ICP Vortex
Array Controllers you won't even need to schedule an outage).  The parity
areas on the remaining RAID5 devices will rebuild the data on the newly
replaced drive.

2) If you are using a hardware mirror (RAID1) configuration, then yes-- you
should not experience any data loss or ability to boot at all.  With
software/host based RAID1 be careful to make sure it's a true full mirror
including all the boot partition stuff and that the controller is pointing
to the correct device you which to boot from (the non-failed drive).

3) Rebuilds.  Again, with ICP (and others I would hope) yes you should still
be able to boot.  If you reboot the server it will come up and continue the
rebuild process on the new device until complete.  ICP is intelligent enough
to do this as a background task giving server I/O priority in a rebuild
situation to reduce any degradation during a drive rebuild.

I hope this helps.  We deploy lots of servers and would always recommend
leveraging hardware RAID (sounds like you are based on your questions).
Also, use a high quality controller that has some decent processing
capabilities (we use ICP after testing many others in the past including
Mylex and Adaptec.  We were so pleased with our own deployments over the
years we are now a primary distributor of ICP products.  The products have
been totally solid, and the support is great too).  Always leverage hardware
RAID when possible over software/host based solutions.  Not only is it more
reliable, but you don't burden the OS or the CPU with processing I/O giving
you some substantial performance gains as well.  You want your CPU
processing application data, not being interrupted by I/O and data
protection-- that's where a good array controller comes in.

Sincerely,

When you do Linux installs you get some options of where to load the boot
loader.  Sometimes it defaults to MBR; but other times you can select things
like placement on floppy or on the root partition of the boot drive.  If you
choose a floppy, thats where it goes. Then you need a boot floppy.  If you
choose the root partition, it will not get in the mbr at all.  You may not
get this step if you the "whizbang, automated" install with Redhat.  I don't
do redhat so am not sure. SuSE and debian offer choices though.

Subject: graphics messed up on recompiled kernel (RH7, 2.2-16)
Date: 28 Feb 2001 05:00:48 GMT

Hello, hope someone can point me in the right direction....

When I install Redhat 7 on my system and use the kernel that is
automatically installed, things are displayed just fine.  However, when
I recompile the kernel and run with the new kernel, the display is
slightly (but very annoyingly) messed up:  The icons at the bottom are
displayed as garbage;  The "embossed" RedHat logo seems to be smeared
across the screen; windows with any graphics in them come up as mostly
garbage.

I'm not aware of changing any parts of the kernel configuration that I
would think would change the display characteristics.

If I take a window such as a terminal emulator and slowly wipe it across
the incorrectly displayed portion of the screen, then when I expose the
previously incorrectly portion of the screen, it gets displayed
correctly.  

I don't really know where to start to diagnose and fix this problem. 
Things I have UNsuccessfully tried:  (1) I ran xf86config.  The
configuration file it created was not significantly different from the
one I had been using.  (2) I recompiled the kernel for a 386.  (3) I
changed my BIOS settings to be more conservative.

Since the stock kernel "works" and my recompiled one doesn't, one thing
that might be useful would be to know exactly what configuration was
used by RedHat to compile the kernel provided on the CD.  Can anyone
point me to the configuration file(s) that was/were used to compile the
kernel?

Hardware system config: 
        Motherboard: ABIT KT7-Raid
        CPU: Athlon 1000 MHz, 
        Graphics Card: Hercules (Guillemot) GE Force GTS Pro 64 MB
        Monitor: Viewsonic E790
        RedHat 7.0.

Thanks very much, for any help you can provide!

When you install, do not choose to install LILO.  That's the program
that overwrites the MBR.  If you do that, though, you will not be able
to boot directly into Linux.  You'll have to do one of the following:

        1. Boot into (Windows and restart into DOS mode) or DOs and use loadlin
to start Linux.
        2. Boot from a floppy.

Good luck.

Subject: Kernel 2.4.2 and 'all blowed up' on e2fsck check of /dev/hda1
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 05:10:00 GMT

Hi All,
  I've tried to read every damn manual there is, however, I'm stumped.
  I've a perfectly working Mandrake 7.2 install which I access via Loadlin
from Windows 98 with kernel 2.1.xx (I believe).
Well, I downloaded the kernel source for 2.4.2, done the normal untarring
and moving to /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 and made the link from that to
/usr/src/linux.
I installed all the upgrades needed per the /Documentations/changes list.
The kernel compiles fine, as far as I can tell.  I do the normal 'make dep'
'make bzImage' 'make modules' 'make modules_install' and for grins, 'make
install'.
  My normal boot up from loadlin works like this:
c:\loadlin.exe c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro hdd=ide-scsi ide1=autotune
ide0=autotune vga=785
which works fine.  After the build, I cp'd the new bzImage onto the my
windows 'c' drive as vmlinuz1.
Now I've modified the loadlin to this:
c:\loadlin.exe c:\vmlinuz1 root=/dev/hda1 ro hdd=ide-scsi ide1=autotune
ide0=autotune vga=785
And the system starts to load as usual, however the messages flying across
the screen of course have some different messages than the old kernel, but
this is what happens:
I get almost normal hard drive detection, as in the /dev/hda..etc., but
after system starts to initialize and 'mount' the harddrives for fsck check,
I get this stuff:
E2fsck 1.19....etc...Superblock could not be read or doesn't describe a
correct ext2 FS ..../dev/hda/
Then the system goes into the 'file system repair' mode, and I'm stuck.
I know the hardware and /dev/hda are 'fine', because I can reboot, and load
up the Mandrake 7.2 kernel fine.  At the particular point at the 'file
system repair' mode prompt, I am unable to mount /dev/hda.....(aint that
strange).
So, I 'shift-PageUp' and look at the kernel initialization with the hard
drive detection and I see something out of the ordinary that I've not seen
before, and definately don't see when I boot 7.2:
Partition Check:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/P1 P2 <P5 P6.....P11>

So, I try fdisk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/P1 and it actually works.
But that gets me nowhere, because I just want to figure out how to tell the
kernel to mount /dev/hda1, like my old kernel used to do.  Any help you all
can give, I would appreciate.  Just so you know, I've recompiled the kernal
about 15 to 20 times, trying to find out if I've got something 'set' wrong.
So, right now I've got the kernel stripped to the bare essentials, but
nothing seems to work.
TIA,
 Dylan sends

The RH 7 install script gives you the option of installing LILO--which you
need to do in order to have a multiboot system--on either the MBR or the
