Hi everyone, I have a permanent dialup connection, and every now and then the modem will just lock up and nothing short of turning it off will fix it... its a 56 K KTX external modem, and the problem has only been since it was put on the linux machine.. It will work for a month sometimes, and then it will just freeze for no apparent reason. Does anyone know of a init script that would reset a ktx ext? or something that might solve the problem? Both the phone line and the power run through a surge arrestor , so surges can't be the problem, so I am at a bit of a loss as to what it might be. regards Frank Hauptle ----/ / _ ---/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / -/____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ Gshop & Network Payment Solutions. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marchiori Carlo Sent: Friday, 6 April 2001 5:08 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [newbie] lilo and Win98 My pc configuration looks like this /dev/hdb (MBR untouched by lilo) /dev/hdb1 primary Windows partitition (FAT32), active partition /dev/hdb2 extended Windows partition (LBA) /dev/hdb5 logical Windows partition (FAT32) /dev/hdc (MBR untouched by lilo) /dev/hdc1 (/boot) primary linux partition. Lilo is installed here. There is also the Mandrake 7.0 (air) kernel on here. /dev/hdc2 extended linux partition /dev/hdc5 (/) logical linux partition /dev/hdc6 swap linux partition /dev/hdc7 (/home) logical linux partition Well, the phenomenology is the following: 1) If the boot disk is /dev/hdb (I set this editing the BIOS), Windows98 starts correctly. 2) If the boot disk is /dev/hdc (I set this editing the BIOS), then LILO starts correctly and shows the prompt: - if I choose linux, then linux starts without any problem - if I choose windows then the line "loading windows" shows up and then the system blocks. Anybody can help me? Thank you anyway. Bye!!!!
