kernel bonk
Hi list! Can someone help me diagnose my kernel bonk? When I try to boot a 2.4.4 kernel that I compiled, it seems to go quite a ways into the boot-up process before it crashes with the following message: NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0 request_module [block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 804 or 08:04 Please append a correct root = boot option Did I forget to include something in xconfig?

Libranet
I am attaching a Libranet newsletter I just received. It seems to be consistent with the previously reported rumour of SuSE (USA) in financial straits. NEXT LIBRANET VERSION STILL ON THE WAY Owing to a sharp downturn in CD sales we are now forced to concentrate on other projects to generate cash flow. We have by no means dropped Libranet, it's just that we have scaled down the number of people/hours available to it. So, we'll have a new release as soon as it's ready and we are doing our best to make it an even better system than before. Thanks for being patient. - LINUX DESKTOP IN A SLUMP? We hear that the Linux world is in the doldrums, or maybe in a holding pattern. We notice less of those that are new to Linux purchasing Libranet. The bulk of the purchases seem to come from existing Linux users switching to Libranet. The release of the 2.4 kernel, KDE 2 and XFree86 4 was expected to help bring about a substantial exodus from Microsoft, but this has yet to happen. We think the number of GNU/Linux users will continue to increase, although slowly. We hope that the world will realize that there is a better alternative to Microsoft. -- Leon A.

Re: CD-RWs
You, sir, need to take a trip to pricewatch.com, immediately. Do not purchase that LiteOn CD burner, not only becuase LiteOn products are very poor quality, but because there are far better values available. Variations on this theme have come up many times before, so i'll give you the short version. Yamaha Plextor make very good quality CD burners. All others are of questionable quality, and will either: 1) not work at all under Linux 2) work very poorly, generating alot of coasters 3) fail early in their lifespans Right now i see a US$76 Yamaha CRW8824E 8x8x24 INTERNAL IDE CD-RW 8824E at pricewatch.

Re: CD-RWs
yes, and it has to be priced right to become an essential item. LiteOn is a well-received item here in Shamshiopo, Hongkong. It's cheap and works fine. I planned on taking a 24w model this Xmas to replace my 2-year-old Panasonic 4w CDR. But it's definitely not the best (which means expansive brands likeYamaha and Plextor).

But of course there's not much money in my budget to pick one up so I'm looking at the low end of the market. A local retail store's got a LiteOn 16x10x40 cd-rw on sale for $137CDN until the weekend which is $2 more than my normal supplier of parts offers for an OEM 12x10x32 drive by the same company. _ Do You Yahoo!?

if you guys are interseted into photoes, check these newsgroups out: news://news.hkpcug.org/hkpcug.digital-photography news://news.hkpcug.org/hkpcug.slr-photography they post photoes and you can ignore those chinese codes. occassionally, there could be some engilsh-only discussion.

LiteOn is a well-received item here in Shamshiopo, Hongkong. It's cheap and works fine. I planned on taking a 24w model this Xmas to replace my 2-year-old Panasonic 4w CDR. But it's definitely not the best (which means expansive brands likeYamaha and Plextor). Seems to be a slight difference of opinion here. BTW I found the following note regarding Lite-On drives (following links from the cdrecord homepage) at http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq05.html#S5-1-43: Some of the drives appear to be based on Plextor units. The reviews I've found of the drive have seemed generally positive, although there may be some issues in the quality of any DAE done... but then again the purpose of this drive would mainly be to write not read I've got a cd-rom to do the other fun stuff.

Joel Normally it boots fine from the scsi drive on the 2.4.0 kernel. I've been studying the SCSI HOW-TO and I have to make sure that all of the necessary SCSI kernel parts get added. The 2.4.0 kernel starts (Caldera) with loadable SCSI modules as part of an initrd=blahblah.tar line in lilo.conf that I did not understand at first. So I'll either have to do this or hopefully have enough space to put the SCSI stuff specific to my box in the kernel.

Its prolly easier to just compile the support into the kernel. Performance will be better. I'm going to try that first (I think). The SCSI HOW-TO says I need to be selective and not include every conceivable low-level driver or the kernel exceeds the capacity of the boot loader. David Bandel told me how to get my present kernel to tell me what modules are loaded for SCSI and then build these into the kernel.

Re: CD-RWs
I am still burning my cd with windows 98. Cannot comment on the linux support for LiteOn. It's cheap, reliable and fast.

Re: kernel bonk fixed!
I don't believe it, my 2.4.4 kernel boots and KDE appears. I was missing one low-level scsi driver in the build. Thanks very much to Mike, David, Joel, Collins, Lonni, Kurt, Klaus-Peter, Douglas and of course, the Skippy-dude!! And I guess I should thank Les Bell too, for such a nice kernel build script and all the cool SxS editors. The chance that I could have done this without help was zero.
