Check your BIOS options for the boot drive. Turn off any options that
control the size of your drive. Another possibility: go to the disk
manufacturer's site and see if there is a bug in the conroller
microcode. If there is, do two things:

a) Ask the manufacturer for a replacement.
b) Publish the make, the model and the revision number right here so
     that we can avoid those problems.

That is all I can tell you without knowing the specifics.

Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 03:39:19 GMT

I'm just starting to learn Linux, and I'm having a problem with getting the
mouse to function. I installed (several times) Mandrake 8.0 on my IBM
Thinkpad A20m laptop, but neither the built-in trackpoint or an external
PS/2 mouse will work.  I tried many of the different mouse choices during
the install, but nothing seems to work.  I've read reports from others that
Linux should work great on this model laptop.  What do I need to do to make
the trackpoint work? (BTW, the trackpoint works fine when running win2k).

Thanks.

Please read the newsgroups that you have posted to

Boot from a floppy.  Check the lilo configuration and
run lilo.  Run fdisk and make sure you have marked a
partition as bootable.  Then reboot without the floppy.

Subject: how to make up a boot cdrom of redhat7.1 from its iso ?
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:24:34 +0800


I have downlaod the redhat7.1 two *.iso , and extrace the 2
*.iso .  Then use nero5.0 to burn it to cdrom disk. I can
boot from redhat7.1 from the cdrom disk. After about 4 steps
of the installation, the boot disk tell me that it can't find
any redhat7.1 cdrom disk in the cd rom drive.  But I can see
the whole source of the disk under windows system.

Did anybody encounter the same problem as mine ?
What should I do now or what should I burn it with nero5.0?

At nero setting: I choose "cd-rom (boot)"

In the "Boot" 's tab,  I choose "Image files"
                                 ==> D:\rehat71\Images\boot.img

I disable "Enable expert settings(for advanced users only!)"

The devices you need are /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1, and they should
already exist.  When compiling a 2.4.x kernel, you just need to say "Y"
or "M" for Character Devices->Generic Serial Support.  You should say
"M" to all the PPP options under Network Options, and you should read
the Documentation/Changes file that tells you you need to upgrade pppd
to at least version 2.4.0 or your PPP connection won't work with kernel
2.4.x.

Subject: Linux Router
From: 210.177.149.33 [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Dear all,

I am setting up a Linux router that connects my LAN workstations to 
the ISP.

I have installed and configured the programs "diald", "pppd" and
"chat" in the router.  Therefore, when any LAN workstation requests
for the internet access, my router can automatically dial-up and make
a PPP connection with my ISP.

However, the problem I am facing is that, after the PPP connection
made, my router can ping machines on the Internet, but the LAN
workstations cannot.

For this, would anybody tell me what the problem is?  A routing
problem?  Besides, would you mind telling me the way to solve it?

Thanks a lot.

Best wishes,

        Um, that's what I was talking about.  I have to do this every time I
move the hard disk to a machine of different configuration.  Does any way
exist to fix this once and for all, so that I never have to worry about it on
subsequent moves?  I would like for both Lilo and the operating system to be
able to find the boot disk and work without any further interference.

  You may have aimed Lilo at the same kernel (2.4).

  vmlinuz is the 'last' kernel installed, vmlinuz.suse
  is a dire-straits backup of the same thing.

  If kermnel 2.4 was last then all 3 of them are the same!

  What I do is install say 2.2.18 and then name vmlinuz
  vmlin2218 and vmlinuz.suse to vmbak2218 and delete 
  anything else (not the numbered map files though!).

  Then install 2.4.2 and repeat the above with 242.

  2.2.18 & 2.4.2 are not the same size at all.

  I wish they'd upgrade their naming practices; i.e.
  kern2218 and kern2218bak would say 'something',  
  vmlinuz and vmlinuz.suse both say absolutely nothing.

Subject: Using LILO on systems without Linux?


I am trying to create a bootable CD that sets up and installs windows 311/dos
6.22 systems. I have linux booting off the cd just fine. Linux partitions the
drive. It runs dosemu, boots a DOS 6.22 floppy image which formats the drive as
bootable (/s). However, as dosemu does not support the "wholedisk" option, I
cannot use fdisk /mbr from inside dosemu to write the boot sector. No biggie, I
thought, I'll just install LILO. The trouble is that lilo won't install either.
I think it's trying to write files like /boot/map or look for linux kernels and
stuff in a root linux partition. However, the target system has no linux on it!
And I don't want to have to stuck some dummy Linux partition there. Is there a
way to install LILO onto such Linux free systems?

This is my LILO file: (root fs is /dev/ram0 booted from CD. DOS disk, already
formatted with FORMAT c: /s is /dev/hda1 and is the only defined partition on
the disk. 2.0GB disk, type=6, FAT16, boot flag set). The lilo loader boot.b is
read from the CDROM mounted on /usr in /usr/lib



boot=/dev/hda
disk=/dev/hda
install=/usr/lib/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=dos

other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos



What am I doing wrong? When I run lilo I get some error about query_dev_geom
failing or some such. I tried adding:

disk=/dev/hda
  bios=0x80
  heads=128
  sectors=63
  cylinders=969

which are the parameters as shown by /sbin/fdisk, but got the same error. Help!

I installed RH 7.1 from cd-r's burned with the iso files.
Also similar behaviour. It was caused by the drive itself
(a hitachi GD-2500BX on verbatim disks). Changing the drive
the installation finished ok. Are you installing also
from cd-r's? Note that many drives can also fail to read even
original cds after some time (like the creative ones...)

Can it write to a fake MBR?
Then you can dd that to the actual MBR

Hmm. You'll need a linux to keep it up to date.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Rand Simberg)
Subject: I'm Impressed!
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 06:40:29 GMT

Those who have been following the newsgroup for the last couple of
days may be familiar with my saga of travails in building a firewall.
First I tried Slackware, and two different versions of RH on a 486
system.  I then gave up and used RH 6.2 on a Pentium MMX system with
98M of RAM.  I had problems with that also, but finally figured out
(thanks to Mr. Hayward) that I had a hardware problem all along-- a
bad IDE cable on my hard drive.

Once I figured out that this was the problem, I wondered if I could
actually do it on the 486, with 8 Meg..

I took the Linux hard drive that I had created on the Pentium system,
with the intention of reinstalling RH6.2 on the 486, which needed a
floppy to boot in preparation for the CDROM to install.  But I screwed
up and installed the hard drive correctly, and didn't get the floppy
working, so the boot bypassed the floppy and (accidentally) actually
booted from the Linux hard drive.

Lo and belold, it ran through the boot sequence, and only asked me
what had happened to the on-board VGA system, and the PS2 mouse.  I
told it that they were gone, and it said, "OK", and proceeded to boot
(albeit slowly).

Wonder of wonders, it's now running on the 486, and I didn't even have
to do a reinstall.  My (nondescript) hat is off to RedHat...

Now the question is, should I put up with the slow speed of the
system?

It's just a firewall, and the performance will be more than adequate
for that task.  But it will be a PITA to do kernel upgrades and such,
and I really don't have any other pressing task for the Pentium
system, so it could do the job.

I'm now torn between the intrinsic frugality and elegance of using the
minimum possible available system for the job (and the warm feeling of
keeping an old and sturdy workhorse in harness), and the future
convenience of having a faster processor with adequate memory for
upgrades.

Any thoughts?

Hi there.
Has anyone had success configuring a S3 ProSavage KM133 with RedHat Linux?
How can I  get this right?
Thanks
Scott

        I would like to use GPM in order to control the mouse while under
Xfree86.  How can this be done?
