Re: Musings about emergency recovery, etc.
On Sun, 24 Feb 2002 16:40:27 -0700 begin Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] spewed forth: [snip] Another thing you'll want as a part of your toolkit is a grub boot floppy (see the SXS for that). Yes I know LILO is preferred by many and grub is a royal pain, but LILO is pretty much worthless in an emergency situation, because you can't regenerate it's choices on the fly without having everything mounted and from a runnable linux partition. Not true. I've just spent a couple of weeks monitoring mail from Outlook, since I had to install Win98 after the fact which predictably trashed my mbr. Now that I found the time to do the repairs, it was quite simple: 1) boot from linuxcare. 2) mount the grub floppy and update the menu.lst. If you've forgotten the kernel names, you can mount those partitions to take a peek. Grub doesn't even care that I have some old boot stanzas from another machine in the menu.lst. Umount the floppy. you've booted up in linuxcare. Just mount the / partition somewhere, and the /boot partition to that if needed. Clean up /???/etc/lilo.conf and run /???/sbin/lilo -r /??? and reboot. 3) Boot a runnable linux with grub installed using the floppy (gentoo in my case) 4) Mount the partition that is going to be constant (hda1 - Win98 in my case), create /boot/grub directories, and copy all the /boot/grub files to this new directory, mount the grub boot floppy and copy its menu.lst to the new directory (or update the menu.lst as required) 5) grub, root (hd0,0), setup (hd0), quit, umount everything and reboot 6) Now you're back in business. gentoo even adds a pretty splash screen for grub. sounds unnecessarily complicated. 6) If you take my approach (using the Windows partition for storage of the /boot/grub files), be aware that you will need to repeat this process if you ever defrag the Windows disk. Whereas LILO neets to know the exact hard coded locations of all kernels, the only location dependancy in grub is the location of the grub files. Why on earth would you: 1. boot Linux from Windoze? 2. allow Windoze to touch a Linux kernel? Ciao, David A.

The location of lilo.conf AND the location of /boot AND the lilo version are the keys to all this. It matters not _which_ lilo.conf and _which_ /boot you choose to use as the seed. Each distro will have it's own /etc/lilo.conf, and it's own /boot directory. You need to make it singular, unitary, one only. 1) You need to move lilo.conf into _a_ /boot directory 1a) move /sbin/lilo into the same directory (matters not which distro). You need to do this because lilo is signatured, you _sometimes_ get incompatibilities between different distro-lilos and the files they rely on in /boot 2) From all distros, you need to type the magic words forever more /boot/lilo -C /boot/lilo.conf 2a) all distros specified in lilo conf MUST be mounted prior (so using /mnt/somewhere is quite sensible). You can use the keyword 'variable' in lilo.conf to ignore unmounted partitions see man lilo. 3) You need to make a single, common, one only, /boot directory The cleanest solution is to make it a partition (of about 0.5 meg*distros) Short of left knee over toehold hoop jumping, this is not always possible because it is a good idea (tm) to make the /boot directory the first partition on the drive as lilo, and the motherboard, get upset with 8gig limits. Reorganising partitions is for the brave of heart. So, a less clean solution is decide which of your 999 distros will be 'the' boot directory and symlink all other distros to that mounted partition eg in elx rm -rf /boot # after saving of course ln -s /mnt/rh71/boot /boot chmod 777 /mnt/rh71/boot (chmod because you don't know the owner/group peculiarites of any given distro) 4) you can merge the contents of all /boot/kernel images into this single /folder because all distros tend to call them different names. If they don't, then rename them yourself. --- The assumption is that you choose to use the /boot folder on the redhat distro AND, all distros will mount the redhat partition as /mnt/rh71. Add salt and pepper to suit your situation. /etc/fstab can be a dog. Essentially you are keeping slightly altered copies of each one / per distro. The solution to this can be to remove all extraneous partition mounts from all the fstabS and write a mounting script in /boot. You call this script via /etc/rc.local of each distro.

Re: OTconvince printer it's out of ink?

Re: Kernel panic error
What I did was take the old config file from the Caldera install, copy it to the new kernel directory and then run make xfconfig. I could see what existed in the old kernel and the features of the new kernel. Vern W Heesch wrote: Thanks Net Llama, You were right, it was something to do with using make oldconfig. I tried it from scratch using xconfig and no kernel panic happened. Now I just need to figure out the right choices when doing it. I had no idea it was so detailed. Going from 2.4.8 to 2.4.17 is a fairly significant upgrade, and I know that some kernel options changed along the way. On top of that, you'll most likely need to upgrade some of the items in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes . I think the safest thing to do is not use an old (and questionable) config file.

Re: OTconvince printer it's out of ink?
I have the exact same problem with an 850 color Stylus. Only, I had bought a cheap BW cartridge, which just won't work right. However, the button you press is for poor print quality. The printer decides if it needs to clean the nozzles or allow you to change the cartridge. I finally decided to buy a lexmark. It works great. Someday I may drill a hole and drain the dang cartrige.

Mike, The solutions are: ping something first to establish the connection. or stop and restart the application causing initial trigger (kmail) or if you have a static ip number from the isp, OR, if the isp always sets you a specific ip, even though it's dynamic set that value in /etc/ppp/options (man ppp) Since it isn't always the same IP I'm hosed for a solution.
