Re: proper_SCSI_cdrom_Settings_RE:-parity__TermPower ???
There are no correct settings for those. If your scsi bus (host adapter and all devices) uses parity, then you want parity on, otherwise you want it off. Likewise, term power should be on if you want to terminate the chain at that device. -casey On Mon, Nov 05, 2001 at 03:27:06PM +, Courtney Thomas wrote: Greetings !

Re: DHCP server configuratian
to assign static addresses vie dhcpd, add blocks like the following to your
dhcpd.conf file.
host caseybox.meathouse.trifocus.net {
fixed-address 192.168.1.192;
hardware ethernet 00:A0:C9:5F:C8:48;
option host-name caseybox;
}
as for getting an address to nic in the dhcpd box, you are prob better off just
seting up a static addess in /etc/network/interfaces. If you really want dhcpd
though, just get something to call ifup ethx after the dhcpd server has been
started.

You need to tell ide-cd not to load itself for your CD, as ide-scsi/sg will only pick up devices that arent handled nativly by the ide drivers.

Re: newbie ReiserFS question
it should be officially supported in all distros when 2.4.1 comes out, but until then you need to obtain the reiserfs patches to the kernel to use it (suse comes preinstalled with a very heavily patched kernel). I run reiserfs on top of LVM on my boxes, and its very nice to be able to resize partitions on the fly without bringing anything down. -Casey On Tue, 23 Jan 2001, Frank Rocco wrote: Hello, I noticed that SuSe supports ReiserFS.

Re: memory problem
under top, look at how much of that memory is marked as cached. Linux caches filesystem accesses in memory to speed up access for commonly requested files. This is normal, and if some actual process needs memory, the kernel will give up some of its cache space. -casey On Tue, 23 Jan 2001, Ken Weingold wrote: I have played around and it seems to be more of an issue with the system itself. I am running 2.2r2 with kernel 2.2.18. This is a failrly newly installed system, and what happens is that applications don't release memory when they are done. I thought it was specific to Webtrends Enterprise Reporting Server, which this server was built for, but it seems to be anything. I rebooted the machine and watched top. There was about 20 megs of RAM used. I ran in another shell 'updatedb' since I knew it wasn't a small quick thing. I watched memory usage go up to almost 50 megs.

Re: problem compiling kernels
your problem is that you ran make modules_install on your laptop, which installs your newly built modules over your laptops modules. You may also notice that there are no modules on your terminals. -Casey On Sat, 20 Jan 2001, Philipp Bliedung wrote: Hi, I'm new to Debian and fairly new to Linux. I compiled some kernels (I'm using kernel 2.2.17) for terminals in a network (so I removed everything they don't need from the kernel except the network stuff, etc.) I compiled them on my laptop b/c it's a lot faster. Anyway I did the following after I made the configuration with menuconfig: 'make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install' Well then I moved the kernels to these machines and everything worked out fine!! But now, when I boot the original kernel on my laptop I get these errors while booting: depmod: *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/ppp.o depmod: *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/dummy.o ... now I can't use my modem using ppp anymore b/c when I start 'pon' I get this: ioctl(TIOCSETD(PPP)): Invalid argument(22) /usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try '/sbin/modprobe -v ppp' --'modprobe -v ppp' fails too. I don't know why this is happening b/c everything was working fine before I started compiling kernels. I don't know if 'make modules_install' is the cause for this but I guess it is. (I don't have a lot of experience in compiling kernels) Can anybody tell what causes this and how I can avoid this in the future?

Re: Forcing modem connection to 57600 bps
Its likely that windows is actually reporting the speed to the UART chip on the modem and not the actual connect speed (i've it do this to me before) which would be 57600 for a 56k modem. Trying to force your modem to a higher speed is probably not a good idea. I see you are .fi so the US FCC limit to 53kbps shouldnt apply to you, and i dont know how valid my next statements will be, but analog lines are generally noisy, and your modem talks with the remote side to negotiate the fastest speed the can talk to eachother over the lines and still understand eachother. By forcing your modem to go faster, you need to get the remote side to go faster as well, and likely your line cant handle a faster speed without corruption to the bitstream, so in eaiter case you are likely to get bad data if you force the connection to go faster. I've seen lines so bad 56k modems connect a 26k, and the highest ive seen is 50k, and that was only once. -Casey On Tue, 16 Jan 2001, Jarkko Niemi wrote: After using my dial-up connecton with speed reporting I wanted to force my modem up to it's maximum speed.

Re: Compiling OpenGL apps for Nvidia
Are you using the nvidia openGL libs? if so, your problem is likely that you are using nvidia libs, and mesa headers. There should be some headers in the nvidia_glx download, you should use those instead of the current headers and the problem should clear up. If there are no headers in that tarball, try SGI's openGL sdk headers, nVidia licenses its openGL implementation from SGI (this is also the reason the drivers are not fully opensource, they cant release the stuff licensed from SGI), that might work. you can try the program 'strings' (strings lib.o) to list any strigns in the liberary, and you will get the functions, and a lot of unwanted stuff as well, dont know how usefull that wuold actually be if the compiler is mangling names.

Re: Cannot get Philips CDRW PCRW80 4K17 - 800 Series to write
read the FAQ's linked to on xcdroast.org. you have to have scsi emulation build in ther kernel or as a module, and you have to tell the ide-cd drivers to ignore your cdrom. Rather than doing this, i just didnt compile and IDE drivers at all, just scsi emulation and scsi support (the cd-r is the only ide device in the machine). The goal is to get your cd-r to showup when you run cdrecord -scanbus. Also make sure to build scsi generic support.

Re: GeForce2 MX, drivers, X4...
The stock drivers for nvidia's cards depend on mesa for opengl, so you will not get accelerated 3d graphics. whether you need/want them us up to you, but here is what do do if you want them. from nvidia's ftp there is a NVIDIA_KERNEL*.tgz and an NVIDIA_GLX*.tgz, grab both and make sure the get the newest version. they both extract into thier own directories, go into the NVIDIA_KERNEL directory and i believe you jsut have to type make. this comples the driver as a module to the kernel who's headers are in /usr/include/linux installs it and insmods itself. Now go into the GLX directory. Here you want to read the FAQ you can get off nvidia's website, and backup the libGL.so's and glx.so's that this driver will overwrite. when your satisifed, type make and then go to your XF86Config file. for your card, change the driver from nv to nvidia and wherever the option is, you can do options glx. I dont know if its specific to TNT cards (what i have), but only 24 bit color is supported, if i try 32 bit the console freezes and i have to telnet in and reboot to get it back.

RE: Unable to Install Debian From CD
Your problem is likely that you kernel resides on disk above the 1024th cylinder and your bios cant handle that. You might try creating a small partition 10-15 megs is more than plenty, and make sure this is the first partition on your disk and select this partition to be /boot. this will insure that your kernel will reside on an area of disk that your bios can handle booting from. -casey On Tue, 9 Jan 2001, Holp, John Mr. wrote: sg.au, I have been trying to install Debina official distribution for the past 2 to 3 days - version 2.2.17 There is no problem with my CD in that installation takes right off when you boot with the first CD in the drive.

Re: Kernel 2.4.0 support for potato 2.2r2
Make sure your modutils is up to date with what the kernel expects, you can find this in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes. This file lists all the required programs and thier versions to have a working 2.4 system. The modules for 2.4 are stored in a different hierarchy than 2.2 so your current modutils cannot find the modules. you may also look into iptables and devfsd, as they are new additions with 2.4.
