Or did you have some particular printer in mind?

Not true. The very existence is of value to them. They will use your
machine to launch attacks on other sites. It is when the FBI show up at

If this is your first go at 2.4.*, then you need to make sure you have new
enough modutils.  See Documentation/Changes in the kernel source.

The appropriate System.map is made when building the kernel and can be
found in the top-level kernel-source directory.  Some of the programs that
use System.map look in various places; see their man pages (e.g., ps(1),
klogd(8)) for details.  (The warnings are not really very serious.)

Subject: CD freezes during install
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 18:40:17 -0500

Hi,

To get background on this, see the thread "Can install *any* distro".

Okay, here's where I'm at now. I got my hands on a SuSE 7.0 distro and I tried
to use it. What happens is that it loads the OS then it hits a state where
there is a message saying "Reading infofile", right after a "Sanning for
hardware" message. When I reeach that stage, my CD start to make a lot of
nois, like the OS is asking it to do something it wasn't designed to. At that
point, I have to reboot 'cuz I'm not sure if my CD's gonna break or not.

I have a Creative Lab 8X CD. I've never had problems with it until I tried to
install a recent distro. One thing I've noticed is a message during the SuSE
7.0 boot sequence that says, "I'm assuming the IDE bus is at 33Mhz. If it
isn't, use the idebus= option". Could this be tied to my problem? Remember
that SuSE 6.1 installed (and still installs) correctly. I've the impression
that something changed in the IDE portion of the default kernel which is
causing me these problems.

I'm going to try to burn a recent version of the Slackware images tonight but
I don't have much hope of it working, at this point.

Any help is still plenty welcomed!

I've had 2.4.1 running for some weeks, but this is the first time I've
needed modules for anything hence the rebuild.  I'll check the docs.

It's currently rebuilding again.  I'll take a look when it's done.

First, you need the bootnet.img. ;-) Second, you need msdos filesystem
support as well as loop mount support in your kernel. (The latter means
that you can mount a file which has a filesystem in it.)

mount the bootnet.img.

mkdir mnt-main
mount -t vfat -o loop bootnet.img mnt-main

Next, copy the file mnt-main/initrd.img to somewhere else. This is
a compressed ext2 image. Next, process it:

mv initrd.img initrd.img.gz
gunzip initrd.img.gz
mkdir mnt-init
mount -o loop initrd.img mnt-init

Next, you need to get into this mnt-init.

cd mnt-init
cd modules

Inside this directory there is a modules.cgz which is a gzip
compressed cpio file. Uncompress it (you might need to rename it),
un-cpio it, etc. This is where I stopped. I think from here you
need to un-cpio the file, add your driver to it, then re-cpio and
recompress. Next, copy it back to the mnt-init/modules. Also, you
possibly have to modify plenty of files in that directory.
Don't forget to recompress the initrd.img and copy back to mnt-main.

Have fun. I hope the commands are ok. I didn't actually copy them
but I did go through the process.

  Er.. Actually eric, if you really knew what loadlin was you wouldn't make
rash statements about loadlin using another linux loader. If you read the
documentation for loadlin you would soon discover that loadlin IS a loader. I
don't have lilo installed on any partition of my hd, I didnt even install the
binaries. If windows gets clobbered then I use the handy dandy dos (or
opendos,drdos, other non M$ dos), bootdisk with my handy dandy loadlin
program and a handy linux kernel and boot linux that way...
( actually at the moment I have no
The problem that you have in choosing to support bill and his cronies is that
you now see the world their way... (use M$, use M$ , use M$, bill is your
friend, use M$, use M$, trust in bill...).
I stopped the future expansion of M$ at win95... if it ain't broke, it can't
be M$....

The real reason for this dis-agreement was that both of us see the usefulness
of linux bootloaders in two different ways, I LIKE LILO, but it has it's
problems,  I like LOADLIN but it has it's limitations, however when lilo has
been broken I have developed the strategy of using loadlin because it has not
failed me yet... When asked for advice concerning lilo from another linux
user who has lilo problems I will always tell them of the alternatives. Not
to put lilo down, but to inform people that there are alternatives...

I think we both owe an apology to cedric for hi-jacking his posting for a
little 'mine is better than yours' crap....

Sorry Cedric....

Thanks. I managed to solve it myself by fiddling with
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts, specifically, removing a line I had put in to
try to get the thing to work previously!

I have now told kudzu to keep the configuration, and all is working as it
should (although, for some reason, my ppp connection scripts, which used
to work fine, now somehow cause pppd to die shortly after the connectonis
made. Until I figure this one out I'm using kppp, which does the job).

I tend to agree on a single user box. However, I've seen IDE drives
that were just were fast as a SCSI drive for a single user get pounded
into the ground when serving files via NFS to multiple users.

As far as motherboards go, if you are going with an AMD, check out
their web page, they have MB and power supply recommendations. I just
built an 850 MHz Duron using an FIC MB they recommended, and could not
be happier.

I found I had made my swap partition too small.  Trying to remember what

swapon /usr/swap
Somehow I made the file to be 64 megs, as I recall, but don't remember

that.  
I could never get it to start up with the extra swap file enabled, but

/dev/ttyS3 is "normally" set for IRQ3 unless you tell it
differently. You tell it differently with the "setserial"
command.

Try the following logged in as the super-user:

    setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 5

Then try /dev/ttyS3 again and see if it works. If it does,
make sure your /dev/modem link points to /dev/ttyS3, as
some software depends on that link pointing to the
actual modem port.

Yes, I'd guess that the shared IRQ is probably the problem.
Get them each their own IRQ (whether by jumper-setting,
BIOS setting, whatever), then see if Linux detects them all
properly by looking at /proc/interrupts.

Good luck.
