Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 22:09:41 GMT
As root I execute:
mknod -m 0666 /root/null c 1 3
this gives me perfectly working null device in my root directory, but=20=
when I execute
mknod -m 0666 /mnt/lfs/dev/null c 1 3
and attempt to test it with this command
echo Hi > /mnt/lfs/dev/null
I get:
bash: null: Permission denied
How is it possible that it works in one directory but not in another?
Some things I have tried:=20
I re-installed file-utils so that I am using version 4.1 of mknod.
I compared permissions and ownerships to the usual /dev/null, the match=
=20
identically
I searched the web for a common problem and found nought.
The only differences I can think of between /root and /mnt/lfs/dev (wher=
e=20
it worked and didn't work respectively) are that they are on different=20=
partitions /root is on partition /dev/sda6 and /mnt/lfs is /dev/sda2.=20=
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello. I boot up Redhat 7.1 as usual and logged in, but all the icons
used to be on desktop are gone.
I cannot open Gnome file manager either. Same as logging in as root.
Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks,

newbie xwindow question.
I have a linux box hat has software i would like to run (GRASS, R, etc) and
would like to run the software such that I view the desktop from my laptop
instead of having to log onto the linux server and sit there for hours on
end (the monitor when it's hooked up is awful). Is there a way of running an
xwindow session on my windows 2k laptop?

/mnt/lfs is probably mounted with the 'nodev' mount option. Beware that
the 'user' option implies 'nodev', so if you want user-mountable
partitions that are allowed to store device nodes then you need to mount
it 'user,dev'.

Note that hda2 is the extended partition, not the FAT partition.
To provide more information you can get Findpart at
http://inet.uni2.dk/~svolaf/utilities.htm
do in a Windows DOS box:
findpart all fp.txt
and post the content from fp.txt.

First, Double check that the BIOS is detecting the disk size properly (if
you are currently set at auto-detect, manually enter the Cyls, Heads,
Secs that are listed on the drive). Use a Win98/ME boot disk to get the
latest MS-DOS fdisk. Make sure that your paritions are ordered:
hdX1: linux /boot
hdX2: MS-DOS
hdX#: rest of linux stuff
because MS-DOS likes to start below the 1024 cyl. When you create
a partiton with linux cfdisk, be sure to change it's type to "Fat32 LBA"
(I believe the id is "c") -- Fat16, or normal Fat32 won't work.

Finally I solved the problem!
It was related to the fact that I used to preload the ide-scsi module
(needed for scsi emulation) using the preinstall command in modules.conf
wich (although still documented in the modules.conf manpage) seems not
to work properly with the new kernel and modutils. So I substituted the
preinstall command with 'add above' and now everythings fine!

Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 23:56:09 GMT
Hi all,
I just upgraded from RH6.1 to RH7.1 and am having problems mounting my
ZIP drive. This drive mounted properly under RH7.1
Since I have no idea what I am doing I am including the dmesg output
and my current fstab file.
1. Can someone help me fix this?
2. Can someone give an explanation what might be wrong so I can learn
from this?
Any help will be appreciated!!!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I would be very grateful if anyone can help me to get my A4Tech 4D
Scrollware mouse device to work under Mandrake 7.2
This is a very nice device that works well under Windoze as it has 3
buttons and two wheels. A conventional mouse is a real pain to me -
literally - as I get shooting pains up my arm when navigating with it.
The A4 device has a large ball about 2 inches or 5 cm diameter that I
can rest my palm upon while the wheels give me all the movement down
or across pages.
I have read the Busmouse HOWTOs but cannot find a solution. HardDrake
MouseDrake running mouseconfig don't give me any options that fit.
The unit is connected via a ps/2 type miniature plug to a serial
adaptor into my Com2 irq 3 port. Using the Mandrake configuring tools
my XFree86Config file has under the Pointer section
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
but it doesn't work!
Please send me any advice to [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than posting a
response to this group which I don't get to see very often.

Did you run /sbin/lilo after making your changes? BTW, "quiet" is
something you *ONLY* put in *AFTER* you have everything working
properly. And the append= line should read
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
if you want both devices to be seen as SCSI devices. Leave that "quiet"
option off; you want to see the messages the kernel generates while it's
booting so you can tell if things are working correctly.

John, I can understand that you occassionally have to cross post, but
posting to 5 groups? Take it easy will ya.
As previously mentioned in some other replies, what kind of errors are
you getting? Be specific, quote them if possible. Did you read the
appropriate readme's prior to trying compile? Specially, did you look
a the Documentation/Changes file and verify that you have the correct
versions of the various supporting utilities installed?
