Hi Ian,
I'm using a PCTel modem on Linux and have recently
upgraded to Mandrake 7.1 that uses a 2.2.17 kernel. To
use my pctel modem, I has to dwongrade to a 2.2.14
kernel AND a older version of the pctel driver that
have downloaded from (theorically)
http://www.pcchips.com.tw/driver/Linux/MODEM/PCTEL.ZIP.
If you can donwload that file, you still need to edit
the file /src/module/ptmodule.c and include th
following lines:
void IntrOpen (void) { }
void IntrClose (void) { }
void IntrWrite (void) { }
so type 'make' to recompile, and 'cp ../../lib/pctel.o
/lib/module/your_kernel/net/'
include the folowing line to /etc/conf.modules:
alias char-major-62 pctel
Create the device com /dev:
mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 62 79
and the link:
ln -s /dev/ttyS15 /dev/modem

I never tried to install through a dvd drive, but I am SURE linux can read most
DVD drives.
(including my cheap $70.00 2 yr. old one)
If I were a newbie I think I would try a distro thats been out for a couple
months at least. (perhaps MDK 7.2 ?)
You say a seperate clean drive? Is lilo still below 1024 cyls on the HDD? And
on the primary drive?

To get masq'ing to work with iptables, try the commands:
# Unload the ipchains module.
/sbin/rmmod ipchains ---> Sometimes needed because RH7.1 loads it
# Load the NAT module (this pulls in all the others).
modprobe iptable_nat
# In the NAT table (-t nat), Append a rule (-A) after routing
# (POSTROUTING) for all packets going out eth0 (-o eth0) which says to

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

They will only partition though! The DOS fdisk also formatted a partition.
linux' fdisks will not do this. Use the mkfs programs for that.
mkfs.ntfs doesn't exist as far a I know, so you'll need to do that from NT.
A program that can do it all is PartitionMagic from PowerQuest.
But that's not free.

When you installed the system you choosed where to put your root
partition. If you already had an OS on your system that's probabily
in /dev/hda1 (first partition of the first disk), your root
partition can be /dev/hda2 (second partition on the first disk) or
/dev/hda5 (first logical partition on the first disk). If you moved
the disk from the first to the second the root is in /dev/hdb?.
Now, to locate the partition you can use fdisk. Boot from a
'rescue' disk or from the CD of your distribution and fire fdisk.
This is the partition table of my system:
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 1754 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 277 2094088+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 278 832 4195800 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3 833 900 514080 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 901 1754 6456240 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 901 1171 2048728+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 1172 1442 2048728+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 1443 1483 309928+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 1484 1518 264568+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda9 1519 1532 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 1533 1754 1678319+ 83 Linux
As you can see there is a partition /dev/hda3 that (probabily)
is the root partition, /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda6 are too big.
/dev/hda7 is possible, but it's a lot far (over cyl. 1024).

Been there done that ( with OpenBSD 2.7)
I finally gave up, junked the box and went to another. What was available was
a compaq, and it was an IMPROVEMENT.
I had other problems too, not beeing able to "soft-boot, had to power cycle.
The "bios" is a mess, and frequently hangs. A shame on such well-done
hardware.
Do yourself a favor and keep off hp-pc hardware.

Hi,
I have a HP vectra and shutdown -h instead of turning the power
off always crashes the kernel. The crash happens at the very
end of the shutdown process, just before the power would normally be
shut off. I have noticed this behavior starting with kernel 2.2.*
(redhat 6.*) and now also with 2.4.3 (mandrake 8). For previous
kernels 2.0.* everything was ok.
Is there anything I can try?
Thanks, ciao

ps: the error is something like "General protection fault"
and 2.4.3 also reports a segfault from halt.

2.4.4 compiles fine here without 'fatal errors'. But then again -
without knowing what error, it is _quite_ difficult to help...

Did you include IDE support? IDE/ATA disk support? Did you accidentally
choose the 'old disk-only' driver (although I guess it should work
anyway). Did you compile in support for your root fs (ext2 I assume)?

You probably need to recompile the kernel with the 'Use real mode to
power off' option in 'general setup' -> 'APM'.

I'm using the 2940 without any trouble, you need the AIC7xxx driver
compiled into the kernel, I'm not sure if the stock kernel have
that kind of driver but you can have someone else compile a kernel
with that driver and boot with that.

Check if the cable is correctly terminated, sometimes the
termination is loose.
