I am trying to install redhat linux 7 on a system with 200MHz, 32M and a
2Gb HD IDE. When booting from the CD or floppy, i get the message:
"Partition Check:"
"Ramdisk: Compressed image found at block 0"
"crc errorVFS: Cannot open root device 08:14"
"Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:14"
I think that it is a hardware conflict so i pulled everything but the
video card but still got the same error. Can any one help???

installation program, i got the error:

Hello,
I don't know about RH, but SuSE suggests it would work partial (no
colour).Check:
http://cdb.suse.de/cgi-bin/scdb?ID=98387296848&HTML=DEUTSCH%2Fcdb_listtemplates%2Fshow_a.htm&INDEX=6959
(You may have to lookup the english cdb version, as this URL points to
the german version)
I wouldn't worry to much, most times, HP printers will be supported
fully (more or less), the only problem is that I havn't
found any tool to calibrate the two ink cartridges for my printer (HP DJ
850C)....:-(
Check the RH support, maybe you should upgrade your distro, things are
moving fast with Linux...:-)
Good luck

Hello,
sure you need mount point(s), not under /dev, put them on /mnt or where ever
you like.
man smbmount
Asuming you want something with GUI, which allows mounting of SMB shares with
ease,
try LinNeighborhood, works like a charm:

Hello,
check this URL for some good links:
http://world.std.com/~franl/linux.html
May be, you should get a good book that explains basic Linux/UNIX skills,
what you want can be done through CLI (what else would someone use, if he's
serious about Linux)
using chmod, chown and chgrp.
Good luck

'rpm -bi /usr/src/packages/SPECS/pcmcia.spec' now worked completely after
I answered 'no' to all kernel config about pcmcia, and rebooted with the

It's missing parport_pc module :)
Try first:
insmod parport_pc
and then add a line to /etc/modules.conf:

It seems that there are wrong permissions for user grace's home
directory. Does this exist and is it readable, writabel and executable
by user grace?

Some BIOSes have an option for this. Otherwise you can use "set
bell-style visible" in your ~/.bash_profile file.

My old monitor (broken) was replaced with a new one.
Unfortunatly linux doesn't recognize the monitor settings and now the screen is not

I can see the text while linux is booting up.
What can I do ?

hello,
after login try 'cd /home/grace'
if it tells 'not found' then your home directory doesn't exist anymore!
Ask your admin what's wrong.
if you're admin then as root type mkdir '/home/grace;chown grace
/home/grace'
if /home/grace exists then probably your home directory isn't the correct
owner or you have to check directory permissions.
Ask your admin too.
If you're admin then as root type 'chown grace /home/grace --recursive' to
resolv the problem.

Previously posted to: alt.os.linux, but without success.
Dear All . . .
With the modern nuclear family across America and the world, my parents are talking
about everyone getting WebCams or Video Conferencing Cameras . . .
They could not find any in the shops which mention Linux Compatible and also I have
found little of use on various sites and searches on this. (Apart from
http://www.crynwr.com/qcpc/ or
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/ezwebcam.html )
1) Recommendations on which to get!
2) Is the hardware called WebCam, or is that just the application? Called video
conferencing camera? How do you search for it?
3) I assume the USB port is the best interface for these, eh?
4) I have seen a few projects to create Linux drivers for these. So they cannot be
mostly compatible. What is the situation?
Thanks for any info to help me get started on this!

Perhaps "mount" does not support smbfs (maybe the module is not available).
At the promt try the following (as root)
(make a directory to use as mount point)
>mkdir /mnt/smbtest
(mount the samba share myshare on computer \\mycomputer, adapt it for
your environment)
mount -t smbfs //mycomputer/myshare /mnt/smbtest
The mount command should output some useful information. If the shares need
a username/password you need to provide them too, e.g
"mount -t smbfs -o username=shaughn //mycomputer/myshare /mnt/smbtest"
If it works at the prompt, its a problem with that Kruiser thingy.

make modules_install doens't by any chance copy it over to some other place?
make clean doesn't remove it?
make bzImage succeeds?
make bzImage doesn't place the image somewhere else?
