Tom,
I have the same sound card in my Laptop. But the LM7.2 did not detect it nor
does Harddrake. How do you run 'sndconfig'. I did not find sndconfig
anywhere in my machine. Pl let me know where can I find this program
Thanks for your help.

I have Red Hat 7.0 installed on my computer. I'm trying to configure the
kernel to put drivers for my network card. After selecting the necessary
drivers, I did 'make dep' - success, 'make clean' - success, but the
following are the errors(sniffet) returned by 'make bzImage';
make[2]: *** [ksyms.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2
I am a newbie linux user, and my project is to connect this linux machine to
my private network of windows machines. Appreciate your time and help.

There are a lot of ways to do this. I have heard that the new Kmail in KDE
2.0.1 does this well. I tend to use a console mailer like mutt and setup
different accounts for myself for the different email accounts. One split I
have is easy. I decided to build a work system and segregate all my work
email to that box. Then you will need something like fetchmail which will
fetch email from multiple PoP accounts. Others probably use some procmail
cleverness to deal with this.
The combination I use is exim + procmail + fetchmail + mutt. They all seem
to like each other pretty well and they all work together. I learned how to
write rewrite rules in exim so I can masquerade the envelope headers a bit
and I also learned a little about writing muttrc files to take advantage of
some things that mutt does well. All I needed to do was write a
fetchmailrc file which would "poll" several mail servers at set times. I
found this in man fetchmail. Many of these things happened some years ago;
but I imagine the approach is still the same :)
In essence my email table is:
exim - smtp services to relay mail to a smarthost smtp server
fetchmail - to get pop3 email from several servers I have accounts on
procmail - moves mail into folders, deletes other mail, does yet other
hings
mutt - pretty capable console-based mail reader

Subject: How can I modify SCSI card scanning order?
Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 07:16:10 GMT
=====================================
Dell PowerEdge 2450, BIOS version A05
Linux 7.0
Raidtec external RAID array
Adaptec 29160 SCSI card
=====================================
In short: how can I reverse /dev/sda and /dev/sdb?
I am setting up a database server. Linux is in the internal
disks (under Dell's PERC hardware RAID) and the database will
be in the external RAID array attached to an Adaptec 29160 HBA.
As you all know SCSI has a hierarchical nature:
- HBA
- Channel
- SCSI device (0-7 or 0-15)
- LUN
So if you have a complicated system, you need to specify the
boot device like this:
Boot from HBA x, Channel y, SCSI ID n, LUN z
Dealing with the computer's BIOS and the HBAs BIOS, I have
found ways to specify booting priority for the last 3 above
(channel, SCSI ID and LUN) but not for the HBA.
My big problem is that I need a way to say: "This HBA has
booting priority over that HBA".
Dell used to have a BIOS setting that allowed me to specify
PCI bus scanning from left to right or viceversa.
Additionally I could give priority to built-in HBAs over
actual SCSI cards (or viceversa).
Unfortunately, my current Dell BIOS doesn't to allow me
to specify priority for the different PCI devices.
At installation time, I get the 2 disks (sda and sdb) in the wrong
order; I need the system disk to be sda and the data disk sdb.
That way, even if the external disk is absent, sda will always
be the first disk. If I have the OS in sdb and the other disk is
missing, the system disk will become sda and all sorts of
confusion will follow.
Please e-mail your comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and feel free
to post it too)

Mine does load the lp module, as is verified by the lsmod command. How
would I go about determining where it is loaded?
By the way, don't you need lp to be able to use the parallel port?
Also, I'm not sure if knowing this is going to do the trick. If for
instance I unload lp with
rmmod lp
and then load ppa followed by lp, I get the same error messages when
I try to mount the zip drive. If the lp module being loaded first is
really the problem, would unloading it be expected to solve the problem?

Subject: What I've learned in the last few days...
Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 01:00:47 -0800
I'm new to Linux... I played with Slackware a couple years back, but
quickly became overwhelmed by the complexity of getting a system setup to
where it was comfortable. The whole system (then) was so feature (hardware)
poor, X felt 'klunky', the command line had such a steep learning curve. I
quickly gave up.
About a week ago I decided I would do it again, and downloaded RedHat 7.
Since then I've installed fresh four times, recompiled the kernel 10 times
at least and learned among other things that 'tail -f /var/log/messages' is
a way cool thing. This is just a short list of things I've learned, in case
they may be helpful to others, who like me, are at the steepest point in
the learning curve, and not finding good answers in the docs. (I do realize
that many of the issues I raise here are quirks of this particular release
and will be fixed next time around)
1) I like KDE 2. I don't wish to enter into any window manager debates, but
I will state my feelings... "KDE Rocks!"
2) You probably all know it, but you need to 'make mrproper' on the RH7
kernel source, before it will compile with SMP turned off. This was a major
stumbling block. At least it kept failing at the begining of the build,
instead of at the end :) I finally found the answer on the web (but I
really had to dig). I never would have figured it out on my own.
3) The kernel build also fails if you try and build AGP/DRI into the
kernel. It works if you put them in a module. I don't know just where the
problem lays. I have AGP w/ Ali M1541 chipset, and DRI w/ 3Dfx Voodoo 3. I
don't know which of the four was causing the problem, but they are all
modular now, and working.
4) SCSI Disk support doesn't function if built as a module. I have no SCSI
disks, but need SCSI support for USB storage (more on this later). This is
where I learned about using tail to watch the log. I can't remember the
exact error message that 'modprobe sd_mod' raised, but only by searching
for that exact error message was I able to find any help on the web. The
problem with the SCSI disk module was a major hurdle.
5) Changing the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to swap between X and the
command line for login... Why doesn't someone tell us these things??? :)
6) SanDisk USB Imagemate (SDDR-31) compact flash memory reader setup is no
easy task if you rely on the existing documentation. I did everything just
like the docs said, but it just didn't mount. The problem stemmed from the
fact that USB storage devices are accessed through SCSI /dev's. The system
will never see /dev/sda1 as a valid block device if the SCSI disk module is
failing to load. Actually if the drivers are in place the whole process of
putting the reader online is very painless, yet it took me three days to
figure that out :)
This is only the beginning of my oddessy(sic). I will try and post other
things I come across as I fing them.
Thanks

do you have a bzImage file though?? If you do, things are probably fine. just
add that image to your lilo and try it, if it doesn't work, boot back in using
your old kernel and recomile it.

Nope Neil... (Nice try though :)
I've seen the exact error he is seeing. It comes less than a minute into
the make. It is a problem with the 7.0 kernel files. They won't build
unless you either start with a 'make mrproper' or turn on muli-processors.
There is apparently some bogus configuration info hanging out in the
released files. But the mrproper cleans it up.

Hi Gary,
It sounds like the module is running into problems and removing itself.
After you do the insmod do 'tail /var/log/messages' and look for error
messages.
Sorry it is not a fix, just an idea of where to look for error messages.
Good luck!

another thing you might try. if your secondary email accounts are running unix
or linux you can .forward all of your email to your primary account, then just
have your email prog....maybe netscape...check that one account.
you have to telnet into your accounts, and run a command like this:
echo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .forard
just an idea....i haven't been able to find any decent multiple pop email progs

take a look at the file /etc/lilo.conf
I think you'll find it obvious on how to change this.
(otherwise `man lilo`, `info lilo` and `man lilo.conf` can be of some help)
Remember to run /sbin/lilo after you made an changes to /etc/lilo.conf, or
else the changes will not have effect.
