Hello,
This is from the release notes for RH 7.1, it should work on RH 7.0 also.
It might not work at all. Only thing to do is try.
The Oracle installation program (versions 8.1.7, 8.1.6, and possibly
others) does not work properly with glibc 2.2 and above. The problem is
that it is linking object files compiled against different glibc (binary
compatibility is ensured only for linked executables and shared libraries
through symbol versioning). You may work around this by installing the Red
Hat Linux 6.2 compatibility packages (compat-egcs, compat-glibc and
compat-libs) and issuing the following commands before running the Oracle
installer:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
. /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
The second line exports environment variables which will cause gcc and ld
to look for glibc 2.1.3 compatibility headers and libraries.

Eric,
You are so sharp about the partition stuffs.
I check this in Windows ME and see this partition is a primary
partition, not a secondary partition, which I thought it is (I might
have planned it to be secondary).
<WIN-ME fdisk begin>
Display Partition Information
Current fixed disk drive: 1
Partition Status Type Volume Label Mbytes System Usage
1 Non-DOS %
2 Non-DOS %
D: 3 PRI DOS FAT-SHARED 2055 FAT16 7%
C: 4 A PRI DOS WINDOWSME 5122 FAT32 18%
Total disk space is 29181 Mbytes (1 Mbyte = 1048576 bytes)
<WIN-ME fdisk end>
I wonder how you know this partition is primary or not from Linux
fdisk, which doesn't seem to mention this. On the other hand, I wonder
if a primary FAT-16 partition will cause troubles in Linux, also
wonder if the disorder of partitions can lead to problems in Linux.
I currently have 15 partitions with 8 operating systems (1 WIN-ME, 3
NT's, 2 WIN-2K's, 2 Linuxes, RH7 & RH6.2) in one IDE disk (I will buy
one more IDE disk later, for more OS' :-) ), but Linux RH7 will only
*see* 4 partitions, which is the traditional limit of PC operating
systems. I use a multi-boot program called bootstar (from Star-Tools),
which supports maximum 15 partitions per disk, and maximum 4 disks,
resulting in maximum 60 partitions in a PC system.

I had a simmilar problem with my Gateway Laptop. I run Mandrake 7.2 but
with no luck with sound( unless you go through the trouble of compiling and
setting up Alsa. But I was trying the 8.0 Beta of Mandrake. To my supprise
they had excelent support for just about any hardware I throught at it
(minus the winmodem). Once Mandrake 8 is finally released, give it a try.
you may find life much easier that way. Especially if your new to Linux.

I assume you downloaded the latest 2.2 kernel version (2.2.18 IIRC) off
a mirror of http://www.kernel.org and extracted it to /usr/src/linux.
To make sure that the different kernel versions don't mix and mingle,
first move the current kernel tree from /usr/src/linux somewhere else,
fi to /usr/src/linux-2.2.18, or if /usr/src/linux is a simple symolic
link pointing to a kernel tree somewhere else, simply remove that link.
Then install the redhat package which contains the RedHat kernel source
and configuration files from cd (I run Debian myself, but had RedHat
6.2 lying around),
../SRPMS/SRPMS/kernel-source-2.2.14-5.0.src.rpm,
I don't know where the config files will end up, my Debian version of
rpm places them in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES Find the most relevant one
kernel-version-{alpha | i386 | i586 | i686 | i686-SMP| sparc}.config
for your hardware.
Copy that configuration file to the new kernel tree,
/usr/src/linux-2.2.18/.config
cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.18/
Then run "make oldconfig", that is a text based configuration tool,
which you may or may not like, but it takes the old configuration file
as a start, and compares it to any new options which have appeared in
the newer kernel. It then only askes you whether or not to select those
new options; all previous settings remain as they were.
Now the new kernel is configured exactly as the stock redhat kernel
installed on your system, plus any new options you have selected.
Now if you run "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" from
/usr/src/linux-2.2.18/ you'll get a more graphical interface to the
kernel configuration program, but with the settings preselected as
done by "make oldonfig". You can then switch off everything you don't
need (one of the main reasons for building a new kernel) and build a
new kernel according to the instructions.
>Did "Configuration" store somewhere the previous answers to its
>questions, so I could use that again as a starting point ?
It should have stored the settings you selected in
/usr/src/linux/.config and use those as the template when running "make
menuconfig", or "make xconfig" a second time.

I have a little problem. I ricompiled the new kernel 2.4.3.
I've activated framebuffer support (Matrox g400) and inserted the needed
line in grub (video=matrox:vesa:0x1BB) but when booting:
ERROR: failed to map framebuffer device to memory: invalid argument;
ERROR cannot make framebuffer object invalid argument;
Please help me!

Hi,
I hope someone can help me out here. I am running SuSe 7.1
with kernel 2.4.2
I compiled same and setup ide-scsi and scsi generic support.
I can burn cd's no problem but I can't mount the cdrom
I have tried many ways to mount the device.
I have a link in /dev named cdrecorder I soft link as
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrecorder
I have tried other devices they all appear in /dev like:
brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 0 Jan 19 03:36 /dev/scd0
or
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 11, 0 Apr 17 10:08 /dev/scc0
there major , minor numbers are all the same .
However when i issue the command: mount /cdrecorder
i get the following message:
bigtime:~ # ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrecorder
bigtime:~ # mount /cdrecorder
mount: /dev/cdrecorder: unknown device
Can anyone help me here? What device am i lookiing for? Do i need to do a
mknod
and if so what device should it be.
Thanks in advance for any help. I am able to send more info if its
nessassary.
