Hi, all
I am trying dual boot my Solaris 8 and Linux machine. Currently,
solaris is on the sda and Linux is on sdb. The machine will boot to
Solaris unless I stick in the Linux boot disk.. Does't any one have
experience on dual boot both systems?
Thankx!

Subject: init.d problem - starting program from home directory
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 19:46:20 +0100
Hi all,
RH6.2
The following works fine and does what I expect it to do - start,
restart, stop etc, a shoutcast mp3 server (sc_serv) allowing me to
bitcast
mp3 streams. However, the server also allows for the streaming of
static mp3 content and to do this needs to be started from within
its home directory (/usr/local/shoutcast). It will not work otherwise -
I've tested this by starting it from the init.d script (doesn't work)
and starting it manually from within the shoutcast directory (it does
work). Both methods will bitcast live streams but I would obviously
like shoutcast to restart upon rebooting.
Is there any way to get the init.d script to start to start sc_serv
from within its home directory?

You get what you ask for. If you're really interested in fixing the
problem instead of spouting off like a lunatic, try running 'lokkit'
as the root user and turn off your draconian firewall setup.

That must be a bug in the installer (sounds like Perl to me). I'd
report the bug to Mandrake and in the mean time, pick a similar
monitor to yours (but different).

Try upgrading your kernel to 2.2.19 under RedHat 6.2; most of the 2.4
drivers have been back-ported to it.

Join the Oracle hell bandwagon; I had to do the same thing a few weeks
ago. :)
As for your problem: RedHat 6.2's version of LILO cannot boot past
the 1024th cylinder on your hard disk. You will need to have at least
a small /boot partition at the BEGINNING of your drive in order to
install it at all. An alternative would be to use LOADLIN.EXE from
within Windows 9x to boot up the Linux kernel.

Did you set up the ppp stuff properly? See man pppd.

Just download and install it from http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial/

Well, before, I could only get 3.3.6 to work. 4.x had lots of visual
debris before I altered the config file with a couple options (see
earlier in this thread).

You need to make sure that the symlink /etc/X11/X points to the right
version of XFree. Under Mandrake, this pointed to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA for 3.3.6 and now points to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 now that I'm using 4.0.3. It's probably the same
or similar for Red Hat.
The config file XF86Config-4 should be picked up automatically when you
run the new 4.x version.

Hello,
My network adapter is a RLT8139B.
I received a message: "eth0: media unconnected, link down, or
incompatible connection" after execution of /etc/init.d/networking
when booting.
Kernel version: 2.4.5
My questions:
1) What do this message want to tell me ? (Note: my network is still
working)
2) Is it possible that a bug in module can crash my machine ? (since I
have installed this adapter, my machine crash when an other machine
copy files from my samba server.)
Thanks.

Thanks for your interest. There is nothing on line 29 /etc/fstab.
I edited the file when adding another hard drive. The file just has the usual
lines (8) starting with:
LABEL=/ .......
/dev/cdrom ......
/dev/fd0 .....
none ......

/dev/hdc5 ....
/dev/hdc1 .....

The kernel seems to recquire some special type of text format that I don't
know.

Subject: Problem with Apache + PHP + mod_perl installation
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 20:28:44 GMT
Hi all,
I'm very new to linux in general, so please bear that in mind. I just
purchased a new machine to replace my current linux web server. Last
night I installed Red Hat 7.1 (as the sole operating system) on it and
everything went smoothly.
Today I am trying to install Apache 1.3.19 with the modules for php
and mod_perl and I'm having all sorts of trouble. I hope I can
describe my problem well enough for someone here to help me out.
I am using apache 1.3.19, php-4.0.5, and mod_perl-1.25.
I've tried configuring one or the other modules first and it seems to
make no difference. So the summary is that first I install PHP like
so:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.19 --enable-track-vars
make
make install
That runs fine, no errors. The correct files magically appear in
/usr/src/apache_1.3.19/src/modules.
Next I install mod_perl like so:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
Again, runs fine, no errors, files appear in
/usr/src/apache_1.3.19/src/modules.
Next I do a configure on Apache:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
Again, works great, says that it is activating my modules properly,
and is all happy. So now I do:
make
It runs fine for awhile and then at the very end I get all these
errors (hope I'm not pasting in too much):

Subject: Newbie: XFree86 4.0.2 crashing on "Standby request"
Date: 14 Jun 2001 14:01:17 -0700
I've recently installed SuSE 7.1 on my system. I was trying to get the power
management capability to work with my monitor, but the X server keeps crashing
with a "PM event received: System Standby request".
If I turn power management off in the BIOS, I don't have any problems, obviously.
I've made sure that the 'Option "DPMS"' line is in XFree86Config. I've also run
"xset dpms 600 1200 2400" (under root), but still nothing works.
I'm running an older Matrox Millennium video card that works fine under NT with
DPMS enabled.
All help appreciated.
Thanks.
Les

Thanks, I just found out before I read your message, but that was exactly the
problem!
Thanks
