Hi
I tried to set up Redhat 7.1 on a Pentium 4,
it behaves strangely. One cpu-consuming task gives a load
of 9 (!) and nothing else can be done at the same time.
I wondered whether the Pentium 4 is supported properly?
Any help is appreciated!

Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 15:22:12 -0400
During this Memorial weekend, I installed Redhat 7.1 (Kernel 2.4.2-2)
on my PC at home. Win98 is on IDE drive/A and Rh7.1 completely on IDE
drive/B. I did not realize at the time that part of linux, such as /boot
partition, had to be on drive/A to use LILO.
During graphic installation,I was prompted where to put LILO i.e. in MBR
or linux drive's boot partition. Unfortunately I decided to avoid fooling
with MBR and opted for the later.
The lilo installation ended up with failure. Everything else went fine.
I created boot diskette. I then realized I was no longer able to boot
Win98. Everybody in my household jumped on me!! My wife wanted to search
webs about her stock investment, my kid wanted to play starcraft with his
folks, ....
I hoped to restore MBR by executing 'fdisk /MBR' under MSDOS but I was
surprised to learn that all my Windows rescue and MSDOS diskettes failed
to even boot. PC tried to boot from the floppies but hang after reading/
loading a few blocks.
When I mounted on to /dev/hda1, I could see that all Win98 directories
and files were still intact. I just do not know why drive/A broke when I
tried my best < which was obviously not good enough :-( > not to disturb
its MBR.
I would appreciate any advice that can pull me out of this mess.
1) What corruptions on drive/A and how to restore it??
2) I configured lilo to boot either linux and win98 but the later never
came up - it hang just like when I booted off diskettes. Could you
offer me a copy of /etc/lilo.conf to compare. My copy is at home.
3) I configured printer OK but not my sound card (Turtle Beach Montogo II
and Altec Lansing 495). sndconfig autoprobe concluded it was Altec
ADA305 and mentioned it is not supported by Linux yet. I tried without
probe but there were only 2 Turtle Beach choices and my Montego II was
not ont the list. I tried both and they all ended up in errors.
Does it mean I'm out of luck as far as sound card is concerned?
4) Does Linux support HP 6200C scanner?? If affirmative, how?
5) I have MSN connection which I usually use their 'MSN Internet Access'
tool to connect. Could and how I connect to MSN from Linux??
Please asnwer to my e-mail address. Thanks for kind assistance.

I had to first turn off my firewall using the "lokkit" tool, then use
"adsl-config" from the kontrol-panel (KDE). Now it works fine (using pppoe).

I've downloaded SuSE 7.1 off of an ftp and instead of installing it
off of my hard drive, I want to put it on cd's. Since it's 5 gigs or
so, I can't cram that onto 1 cd (or a dvd if I had one.) What folders
go on what cd or doesnt it really matter?
A layout of the folders for cd would be very appreciated.
Thanks if you reply to this! :)

I'd recommend installing lilo on drive A, and keeping that as your
primary drive. To do this, make sure these lines are in your lilo.conf
file: (others may be there as well)
boot=/dev/hda ## ie MBR
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2 ## if that's your image name
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb1 ## hdb1 = wherever '/' directory is
read-only
other=/dev/hda1 ## hda1 = primary windows partition
label=win98
table=/dev/hda
Hope that helps - Chuck

Restore your backup. If you don't have a backup, this will persuade you

The Linux partitioning tool used probably made cyclic partition
tables. Change the type of the extended partition on disk 2 from 05 to
85 using Linux fdisk. Or post a partition table listing. Or set disk 2
to none in BIOS, boot to a DOS floppy and do fdisk /MBR. Keep disk 2
as none.

The readme.1st doesn't help. Can you you tell me the exact kernal image
name that I'm supposed to type in when it asks me for a kernal image.

No, it's fdisk /mbr, but then again, since it is a Windows partition, he
may just want to "format c:". ;-)

Stop rebooting your machine ?
Okay okay ... do a ls -l /etc/localtime which ought to be
a symbolic link. Is it correct, say ...
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/<...>
... with <...> the file for the zone you life in ?
What does date have to say, e.g. ...
Tue May 29 22:30:40 BST 2001
... BST for the timezone here (England).
As root run /sbin/hwclock and is the hardware clock
on time ?
See your init scripts for anything that accesses

Well, there is emacs and xemacs. Both let you customize the keys.
A little smaller but also customizable (in slang) is ``jed''.
All three have sytax highlighting.

I guess the only downside is the OP doesn't want to learn "a bunch of
keyboard commands". This pretty much rules out vi[m]. Don't get me wrong,
I love vi (you should see some of my Windows text files -> they're full

I've just had another quick look at a zipslack install. The kernel image
file is named 'c:\linux\vmlinuz'. On this particular setup, obtained
from the Slackware 7.0 source cd, 'c:\linux\linux.bat' needed editing
before it would boot.
It's probably easier to just make another boot batch file with your
favourite text editor. If the zipslack zip file was extracted into the
root of drive c:\ , as per instructions, the following one line bat file
will fire things up. 'c:\linux\yourfile.bat'.
c:\linux\loadlin.exe c:\linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 rw
Calling 'yourfile.bat' from c:\linux will start the ball rolling.
