I think (contrarily) that you have a DNS problem, and that route(8) is
hanging looking for addresses to put in its output. Try "route -n" to
suppress looking for names.

Are you using the "usepeerdns" option? Maybe something strange has
happened to /etc/resolv.conf.

it is already setup as PIO-4. my cdrom is 36x diamond data one. but i did try
changing PIO-4 to "auto" and the same thing happened. there are options for PIO
1 to 5. bios auto detects the cdrom as PIO-4. should i try all of the numbers?
the thing that bugs me is rh6.2 installs fine.

I was looking for a downloadable RPM'd version of SO. I've got SO from the Sun web
site but haven't installed it yet. I have RH 7.0 and thought, possibly, installing

You need to configure with your desired ModeLine
# 800x600 @ 72 Hz, 48.0 kHz hsync
Modeline "800x600" 50 800 856 976 1040 600 637 643 666 \
+hsync +vsync

Check your monitor's frequency capability and pick the one you want. Place
it in XF86Config Section "Monitor". My video adapter will go to 230MHz
but my monitor will only take ~118MHz. You may have the same problem.

I used PowerQuest's PartitionMagic to create the /boot and /swap partitions
*in front* of my WindowsME partition (PartionMagic moved the WindowsME
partition back). Then I set the root partition in back of the WinME
partition.
I did this because 1) I'm a newbie :o) and 2) because I was real nervous
about this 1024 cylinder thing. The linux /boot partition is entirely
within the 1024 cylinders, and the beginning of the WinME partition
is within the 1024 cylinders as well.
My machine is an Athlon 1GHz with 40G drive.

I had problems similiar with this but it was for my CDRW and CDRom if I
enabled DMA access then everytime I tried to write to the writer my whole
system would lock up. I fixed this by disabling DMA for the CD's by adding
a /sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hd{c,d} and haven't had a problem yet.
Try disabling DMA for your CDWriter only and see if this helps.
command
hdparm -d0 /dev/YOUR-CDWRITER
Now I have a question I have 2 hard drives both Maxtor 30 Gigs (ATA 66 and
ATA100 but running at 66) a writer and a CDROM what is the "best" way of
arrranging them? I have heard that if I have ATA-66 drives connected with a
CDROM (ATA-33) I will transfer data at the speed of the slowest device on
that particular IDE channel. I also have run into a warning trying to copy
a CD that Nero (running under Wine) says that I could have problems with
copying data using the same IDE channel, While I have not had any problems
I am wondering what is "right".

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 02 Jun 2001 00:15:07 -0400
I'm running redhat 7.1 x86 and am having problems with linuxconf and
startup scripts. Under Control service activity I enabled named and
iptables to startup automatically. Now even after reboot everytime I
enter linuxconf I give me the following message:
*************************************************************************
*************************************************************************
The state of the system is not in sync with the current/updated
configurations. You are allowed to make it current, or continue with
the current configurations.
Here are the commands to execute
The following command told me something had to be done
/etc/rc3.d/S58named probe
Executing: /etc/rc3.d/S55named start
*************************************************************************
*************************************************************************
If I allow it to start named I end up with a ton of named processes
running. If I choose do nothing, and exit the system works as normal.
However I always get the same message the next time I run linuxconf.
I looked in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and found two files that began with S55*
which were S55named and S55sshd. I renamed S55named to S58named and
restarted the system. Upon entering linuxconf I got the same message
on exit except this time it was S58named instead of S55named.
I'm not an expert on the System V startup process, but originall
thouht this was caused by two links begging with the same number
"S55", but I noticed that this is not the only occurance of this, and
the other two services seem to have no problem.
also after bootup when I do "ps -ef | grep named"
I see at lease 4 instances of named running.
If anyone has any info as to why linuxconf never recognizes this as a
running process it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running redhat 7.1 and was reading an article about different
methods of starting sshd. One problem I noticed is that the
connection to the server is very slow. The article mentioned
that this could be because the services is restarting evertime a
connection is attemped instead of running all the time.
Can anyone one offer an performance tuning to sshd or maybe
some other areas I should look into.

I'm runing redhat 7.1 x86 and have this box setup to masq my internal
network. Before I was running winroute with the dhcp server to set
the clients dns server to the nat machine so that if the dns numbers
of my provider changed, then the clients would continue to work as
normal. Upon setting up my linux box to replace winroute I was a bit
unsure of how to get the same effect.
As a first attempt I just started bind and the clients automatically
started working. I did no extra configuration whatsoever. I feel
that running this may be a bit more overhead than I really need, but
am still unsure, hence this post. Is there another way to forward dns
request to your upstream provider even if your provider changes
sometime midstream?

You just need to use the "forwarders" keyword in your /etc/named.conf file to
list the IP addresses of domain name servers that you want to use. Also be
aware that you don't need to use your own ISP's DNS servers to make DNS work,
you can use other IP address for other DNS's around the net. With this being
the case, you can set your forwarders to be a certain number for a ISP and
then even if you shift to another ISP company you should be able to still use
the same DNS addresses as you were before.
See ya

I am setting up a PC that will run a scanner and send data to another
machine for processing. The scanner is one of those Cue Cats you get at
Radio Shack that interfaces through the keyboard port. I want the system
to, on power up, automatically log in and start the appropriate program on
the console, so I don't have to keep a keyboard or monitor attached.
Because the scanner is connected to the keyboard port, it is functionally
equivalent to typing on the console, which is why I'm thinking I need it to
automatically log in and start a program. If there's another way to do
this, I'm open to it, but right now I don't know how to do either.
The machine is running Red Hat 6.2, linux kernel 2.2.14. (RH 7.x won't even
install on this machine due to the extremely limited memory capacity.)

Subject: Re: How do i load an ISO from a CD-ROM?
Date: Sat, 02 Jun 2001 06:30:11 -0000
I have gone through the exact same thing you described. I burned the ISO
images to CD, but the PC won't boot from the boot CD, except on the
machine where I burned them, which is not the one where I want to install.
I get a similar message - BOOT FROM ATAPI CD-ROM: Fail... and it goes on
to boot Windows.
I tried installing the DOS CD Drivers in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat
on the machine where I want to install Linux, but am not sure if they are
even read during non-DOS, non-Windows boot. Still no luck. It appears
that the BIOS is not waiting long enough for the slow CD-ROM to spin up
and be readable, and then times out and goes on to look on drive C. I've
had that happen before when I tried to re-install Windows and wanted the
machine to boot from the install disk instead of the hard disk. It was a
trial and error method of booting and closing the CD door a exactly the
right time so the CD would spin up to a readable speed right when the boot
sequence hit BOOT FROM ATAPI CD-ROM.
I finally went into the BIOS General settings and set the configuration
for the boot hard disk to NONE so the BIOS would not see the C Drive with
the current Windows boot sector. Then when I booted, got the error
message saying NON-SYSTEM DISK - NO BOOT SECTOR FOUND, PLEASE INSERT
SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUTE. I opened and closed the CD door
so the CD would spin up, and then hit ENTER, and the PC booted correctly
to the Linux install text. I tried to continue the install but it got
through the inital screens and the CD and hard drive light remained on,
but the system did nothing for a long time, and I never could get it
installed. That may be due to the fact that there is no boot sector on
the 2nd drive which is the only one Linux could see at this point.
My suggestion is if you are sure you want to replace Windows, remove it so
it won't boot, and then let Linux install. If you have another disk you
can use, format a boot sector and leave off DOS or Windows system, and
then boot, when you get the INSERT SYSTEM DISK, close the CD door and hit
enter when it spins up.
Anybody else with any suggestions, please comment!
