Sorted.
The HDD came from the supplier with the jumpers set to 'primary slave'
rather than 'primary master'. Correcting this solved the problem and
gave a trouble-free installation.
Thanks for all the advice.

and the result is that i can ping each ip from the other but cant connect

and iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

The link is ok. I found the bug, there was a flag missing that was used by
SuSEconfig. Thanks.

Subject: Newbie - Just downloaded and compiled 2.0.38 but it reboots instantly
Date: Fri, 04 May 2001 08:04:53 GMT
I installed Linux on my ageing 1995 "Panrix" Pentium 133 PC about 4 or 5
years ago from a copy off a CD on a book. (Slackware distribution) The
kernel was at version 2.0.27 at the time. I've been happily using that
all this time as I'm not a heavy home user but recently was tempted by
features of the newer kernel. With a fairly finely tuned (albeit aged)
set up which I've no wish to trash I thought that a small step up to the
later 2.0. kernels would be feasible.
I downloaded the gzipped source, expanded it into its own directory on
the source tree (trying to keep 2.0.27 for backup too) and compiled a
zImage, made modules and installed. I installed it as another option on
LILO and rebooted, keeping my current 2.0.27 kernel as a backup option.
At the LILO prompt I chose the new kernel and waited. It said "Loading
Linux.........." then "Uncompressing Linux...." then "Booting Linux"
then instantly the screen went blank and the PC rebooted.
This is the best I can do - I've tried copying the kernel to a floppy,
running that floppy on another maching (a 486), rebuilding from source -
all no good.
Help!
Regards,
Carl

I have seen this also going from win 2k to linux (RH 7.1 beta), never
did find out why. The win machine I see it on has had all updates from
the windowsupdate URL listed above. I suspect it is something stupid,
like end-of-line termination quirks.

Is it possible to see the output of your debugging log and the actual
"options" file that you are using. The debug log normally provides a lot of
valuable information. You might like to check your routing table after you
have formed a connection. This should tell you whether or not a route was
created or not. It is quite possible that a default route is not being
inserted into your system.
See ya

With the newer kernel you need at least the new binutils, modutils and
other things. Have you checked the 'Changes' for what you have to update?

Hi all. I've got Mandrake 8 installed on my new Athlon system, Voodoo

The monitor is about old as hell, adn runs best at 960x720 (VGAx1.5)
in Wi^H^H other operating systems. 800x600 is fine, but at 1024x768 and
up, it makes noise, hourglasses badly and generally makes me nervous.
I would like to add 960x720 as one of my screen resoultion choices in

It's talking about device 0x0302. Hda, partition 2. I suspect that your
"small primary partition" is hda1, not hda2. You have misdirected the
setup program to hda2 instead of hda1 for the "/boot" partition, maybe?

Lilo configuration screen? What do you mean? Edit lilo.conf! Yes, you
need "lba32" in there, not "linear".

Yes, well, the complaint was about hda2, so you have messed up several
things.

Impossible. hda0 does not exist. and there are only 4 primaries, one of
which must be the extended partition, so you cannot have all of them as
win o/s 's!

Whaaaaaaat!!!! NO No No. Impossible.

hdb1 whaaaat? Where did a second drive come from!
You are messing up in a big way.

Look, please stop doing this. Don't use propretary tools that muddle
you up with their meaningless output. Use linux fdisk. I GUESS that
what you are trying to say is that you have:
hda1 win2k 20G
hda2 winME 25G
hda3 /swap 150M
hda4 /boot 8M
and on the second drive
hdb1 / 5G
hda4 extended
hda6 ?
hda7 ? 1G
Apart from the fact that this layout is a complete MESS (please READ
the Partition HOWTO), it appears that your /boot is way up at the end
of the first disk. But without the output from linux
fdisk -l /dev/hda
we cannot tell.
> Can anyone else see a fundamental concept that I am overlooking ? (Please
> look in detail on my system setup).
All of them, and we can't tell because you haven't provided any detail.
Please take _care_ when presenting data to make it lucid and
comprehensible!
A sensible layout for you would be:
hda1 /boot 8M
hda2 win2k 20G
hda3 winme 25G
hda4 extended till end
hda5 swap 128M
hdb4 extended till end from wherever you like
hdb5 128M /
hdb6 1GB /var
hdb7 2GB /usr
hdb8 1GB /home
and remember to softlink /tmp to /var/tmp.

What problem? Please be specific about what your program does and what

Should it print "Hello world" (no trailing newline)? Is it compiled

This is a known problem.
The workaround is to edit /etc/profile and add the following line:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
There's something else about the script $JAVA_HOME/bin/.java_wrapper
that is referencing /usr/sbin/cut so you might also need to do this:
ln -sf /sbin/cut /usr/sbin/cut
