is that true? i've seen alot of posts in this newsgroup say that redhat 7
has the updated lilo that does not have the 1024 cylinder problem. the
reason why i ask is because i just bought redhat 7 with the expectations
that i will not experience the 1024 cylinder problem with lilo. i guess
i'll find out later tonight when i install it...

I suppose these things are linux modules, you should be able to load
these using insmod, like any other kernel modules. What's into the
modinfo file?
BTW, I think that the best thing to do, is call directly the producer
or mantainer of this module and ask him directly.

I've been looking for descriptive HOWTOs on logrotate but have been comming
up short. I looked at my access_log and noticed it was a wopping 125MB and
said, that ain't good. After investigating I found that logrotate will do
what I want but I can't find any info (other than some MAN pages - rather
cryptic) that show some examples and such.
Can someone point me to a good HOWTO on this? The docs I've found so far
reference conf files and such, but my setup seems to be a bit different than
the "default" that they refer to.

Thanks for your reply.
I've tried starting the installation using expert mode, but it makes no

Well, I would go to this check-list:
1. size of the harddisk/position of the partition. RH 6.x uses an
old version of LILO that does not address correctly partition
over the 1024 cylinder.
2. if you have a fat partition on the disk with enough space,
try to copy the entire CD over the partition (avoid to access
the CD during the installation), you can delete all the files
later.
3. try to remove everything that can create problems during
the installation (non-essential hardware).
If none of this works, I would go for a less-automatic
distribution like Slackware or Debian... but this is another
story...

Yeah, there's a big headache, the RedHat driver disks.
Basically, as you can tell from sizes, everything important is in
modules.cgz. But modinfo is used by the install program to determine
whats modules exist in modules.cgz so that have to be in sync.
Modules.cgz is a compressed cpio archive. You use a command like:
zcat somepath/modules.cgz | cpio -id
and that extracts into the current directory (you'll have a "2.2.16"
directory or such created, with files below that). I'm not sure how
to go the other way, being unfamiliar in the ways of cpio. But you
can copy the modules you need in order to boot from hard disk (you
might have to deal with initial ramdisk files if you need to module
early on in boot process).
I don't know what "build a new kernel against these modules" means.
They may be .o files, but I don't think you can just link a module
statically to a kernel (could be wrong).

That's not *exactly* true. SuSE does include some non-GPL stuff in their
distro (most notably the YaST setup tools), but they are known and valued
contributors to Free Software, most notably when it comes to XFree86
(their CTO, Dirk Hoehndel, is a big name in the XFree86 project).
Things to dislike SuSE for: extremely KDE-centric (as KDE is a mostly
German project this is not surprising), weird filesystem layout (come on,
init files in /sbin?!) and an uncompatible rpm packaging style.
Of course, if you are European, and want a distro in your native
language, SuSE is the way to go, they even have a Dutch distro, which
given the number of Dutch speakers and the small Linux market is at least
nice, but quite surprising actually, as the potential Dutch Linux user
will be quite familiar with English anyway.

You're sure that the CD itself works? If you can read all the

probably alright, but if you can get another copy it would be good to

I should've explained that... I'm using an ABIT KT7-RAID with LS120 on hdb,
DVD-ROM on hdc, the 307045 on hde and the 307045 on hdg....
well I'll try it again, but really, it just jumps back to the lilo menu when
i tell it to boot from /dev/hde (ie the bootloader, which is clearly within
the 1024 cylinder limit, which I had problems with until buying the second
hard disk!). but tomorrow I'll tell
you how it goes. again!! Thanks though
why does the linux disk have to be the primary master? surely it doesn't
matter.

Subject: RH7 install on 30GB drive
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 16:54:00 -0600
Need some help here. I added a 30GB drive to an old P166. The
bios does not properly detect the drive and shows it as being
8.4GB. I installed Mandrake 7.0 without any problems. I used
fdisk to partition the drive.
No, I want to install RH7 on this same drive, replacing
Mandrake. I can boot from the CD fine, start the install
process, and get thru the first few steps. When Disk Druid tries
to read the drive it says that the partition table is corrupt and
skips the drive. When I go back and use fdisk instead, fdisk
shows the drive with all the partitions as previously
configured. fdisk gives a warning about the drive having more
than 1023 cyl. indicating that some versions of LILO have a
problem w/ this. I am assuming that I will not have this problem
because Mandrake booted fine and the boot part. is within the
1024 limit.
When I continue, after using fdisk, the install returns me to the
Disk Druid program which, once again, says that the drive has a
corrupt part. table. How do I force Disk Druid to use this
drive, bypass the use of Disk Druid, or apply some workaround? I
sent an email to RH support and have not received any response.

Hmm, I don't recall this in 7.1. The layout was different from
RedHat and RedHat clones, but not unusual or confusing. Init files
could be found under the /etc hierarchy (perhaps via links?).

Didn't seem that incompatible. The thing some people disliked was
not using the RedHat package categories and hierarchies. But such
was available in SuSE 7.1.
Plusses to SuSE: Better KDE support; easier installation; more
packages; many system configuration options put into a single file and
a tool to modify; lots of good admin and configuration tools, which
are easy to find in the GUI, as compared to RedHat.

Nope. In SuSE 7.1 all init scripts are in /etc/init.d and turned
on or off and configured in /etc/rc.config. Don't see any init
scripts in /sbin on my SuSE 7.1

When you compiled the kernel, you didn't select PPP in the config (It's in
Network Device Support). If you have no clue how to configure the kernel,
run "make menuconfig" when in the directory with the kernel sources. I
recommend that you choose PPP to be part of the kernel, rather than as a
module.
