Re: JVM

2001-10-24 Thread Roger Oberholtzer

What version of LimeWire? A few months ago there was an update that
required a recent JVM. I don't recall which one. I have run it on
eD 2.4 with whatever JVM it comes with - so the new LimeWire requirement
cannot be too bleeding-edge. I really don't think I updated java on
the machine in question. I have not tried it on WS3.1 due to as yet
unresolved problems discussed (but, alas not solved) in another thread.

What do you get when you type:

java -version

I don't know much about linux so perhaps you're better off waiting for a reply from 
someone who does...

...but I was building a kernel the other day and browsing through the help topics for 
the 
various options when I noticed one that said, iirc, something to the effect that if 
both the 
scsi emulation drivers and the native atapi drivers were compiled into the kernel then 
the 
native drivers would be used.

I left the native atapi driver out and on boot the kernel (2.4.12-ac3, patched) 
properly 
recognized the burner as best as I could tell tho I don't yet know whether or not the 
burner 
will be fully useable.

 (IDE).  I
  used the
  SxS for replacing a cdrom with a cdburner as the blueprint for
 adding
  the
  writer.
  
  I have no SCSI controllers.  Before I added the writer I had the
  following
  drives:
  
  /dev/hdaboot partitions for RH and LTP
  /dev/hdbpartitions for COL2.4 boot and home directories
  /dev/hdcCD-ROM
  
  
  I added the following line to my lilo.conf, then ran lilo:
  append=hdd=ide-scsi
  
  I wanted /dev/hdd to be used for the CD-RW.  I performed the
 following
  to try
  and make this happen (as root of course):
  
  $ mknod /dev/sr0 b 11 0
  $ mkdir /mnt/cdrw
  $ ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrw
  
  Added the following line to /etc/fstab
  /dev/cdrw  /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
  
  Created /etc/rc.modules as follows (there wasn't one
 initially):
  #!/bin/sh
  /sbin/modprobe sg
  /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
  
  At this point (after rebooting), when I tried mounting the CD-RW I
 got
  the
  following:
  $ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw
  mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrw as a block
 device
  then I tried:
  $ mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw
  mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/csr0 as a block
 device
  
  And I could no longer access my CD-ROM.  The CD-ROM should not be
  using the
  SCSI emulation as /dev/cdrom-/dev/hdc.  This is very puzzling to
 me.
  
  So, I put both CD-ROM and the CD-RW pointing to the SCSI devices
 by
  dong the
  follwing:
  $ mknod /dev/sr1 b 11 0
  $ rm /dev/cdrw;  ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrw
  $ rm /dev/cdrom; ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
  
  Now I have the following configuration:
  /dev/hdaboot partitions for RH and LTP
  /dev/hdbpartitions for COL2.4 boot and home directories
  /dev/sr0CD-ROM
  /dev/sr1CD-RW
  
  With this configuration, it appears that when I mount sr0, then
 mount
  sr1, I
  can only see the content of sr1 (and visa versa, depending on
 mount
  order).  
  Also, I cannot read from the CD-RW from a CD player program or
  anything else. 
  I *can* read from the CD-ROM using a CD player program, however.
  
  Is the ide-scsi emulator code not able to handle more than 1
 device (I
  don't
  think this is the case)? 
  
  I can also use xcdroast and xgcombust to burn CDs and read from
 the
  CD-ROM.  So
  I can still function.  But this state puzzles me and I really want
 to
  understand what is happening.
 

I don't know the truth, but I was told earlier by someone on the list
that it's all or nothing.  Once you are using scsi support for the
CD-RW, you get it for the regular CD as well.  That's the way I'm
running - /dev/sr0 for the writer and /dev/sr1 for the noraml cd.  And
I have to have the parameter in lilo
append=hda=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi
since my scsi support is built into the kernel.

Cupdate kernel left system unbootable

 On one of my Caldera 3.1 workstations I ran the Caldera System Update
for the 2.4 kernel upgrades and upon reboot the system hangs when
mounting /boot which is ext2. The other partitions are all reiserfs.
Booting from the rescue disk has the same results. No errors, just stops

 I've got some more old hardware looking for new homes. This time, 5 cdrom

 All 4 are recognized as atapi drives by linux, all worked well under linux
 and did

read
 CDRW's.
 They all read CDR's just fine, however. They will also allow booting off a
 cdr/cd if
 you need the capability.

 The deal is... no charge for the drives, just pay me the shipping when you
 are
 satisfied with the quality of the drive.

 I have:

 1 - HIGH TECHNOLOGY model CDD-6100 (identified as OTI-HERMES at boot time)
 1 - GOLDSTAR model CRD-8160B (missing that little flopper door thinging)
 1 - MITSUMI model FX810T4
 1 - ACER model 685A-043
 1 - TOSHIBA model XM-1202B (laptop model in external PCMCIA case)
 1 - IBM model DB0A-2528 laptop harddrive 528meg

 They all play music cd's fine, have volume controls and audio jacks, etc.,
 etc.

 As a side note... I am no longer able/willing to ship materials outside of

Re: CD-RW install puzzles

2001-10-24 Thread Susan Macchia

First, thanks for your reply.

 I think you're greatly overcomplicating this process.  First, there
 should be no need to create new block devices or symlinks to block
 devices.  Remove all of that cruft, as its only confusing the
 configuration further. 

I had to create the block device for SCSI because there was none; no /dev/sr0,
/dev/sr1, etc.

And I already had /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/hdd.  Seemed reasonable to point
/dev/cdrw to the device that the cdrw was on.  They're only soft links after
all...  But you are right, I don't really need them.


 Second, you should be able to access the vanilla CDROM drive as an IDE
 drive, and the IDE CD burner as a SCSI drive. 

This is what I wanted and tried to do initially and couldn't access either
drive.  Which is why I ended up pointing both to /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1.

Maybe I should start over?

 
 Third, what does dmesg think you have for drive assigments (hda, hdb,
 hdc  hdd)?  What does the output from cdrecord --scanbus see?  What
 does 'lsmod' show? 

---
dmesg output:

OK so I backed up per your suggestion and did the following:
/dev/cdrom - /dev/hdc
/dev/cdrw - /dev/sr0

Then rebooted.

Now when I try and mount the cdrom:
$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

So I tried:
$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

When I try and mount the cd-writer:

$ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw
  mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only

But it mounts the first cdrom on /dev/hdc !!!  This is what confuses me...

Thanks for the replies guys.  I will trucate them all into one here.

On Wednesday 24 October 2001 07:47 am, Ken Moffat dropped these nuggets 
of information:
 Show us your $PATH.
 When a program complains about not finding jvm I don't think it's the
 jvm.h headers but rather the java runtime environment. Usually the
 path is not pointing to it.

$PATH/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

Figured I need to add something here but wasn;t sure what the proper 
path was.

On Wednesday 24 October 2001 07:47 am, Jerry McBride dropped these 
nuggets of information:

 Open the kpackage manager. Search for jre. It it fails, you need to
 install it. An even
 better test would be, open a konsole... execute java. If that fails
 then see above. If
 either test passes, then you have a config problem. For whatever
 reason, LimeWire
 isn't finding the java executable... check your PATH line... does
 it include /opt/java...
 or /usr/java?

The search for jre fails.  I do have the Sun JDK installed that says it 
provides a JVM.  I will check and add one/both of the above to the 
$PATH.

On Wednesday 24 October 2001 03:05 am, Roger Oberholtzer dropped these 
nuggets of information:

 What do you get when you type:

That could very well be the problem.  Build your own kernel, and then at
least, you know what you're working with.  Plus, you are using RH-7.0,
which is an abomination in of itself.  At least upgrade to 7.1 so that
everything you compile isn't fundamentally broken.

 OK so I backed up per your suggestion and did the following:
 /dev/cdrom - /dev/hdc
 /dev/cdrw - /dev/sr0

My suggestion was to not use symlinks at all.

 
 Then rebooted.
 
 Now when I try and mount the cdrom:
 $ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
 /dev/cdrom: Input/output error
 mount: you must specify the filesystem type
 
 So I tried:
 $ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

 But it mounts the first cdrom on /dev/hdc !!!  This is what confuses

Makes perfect sense to me.  Here's why:
Whatever cdrecord --scanbus sees is what you get, *in that order*. 
So, the SCSI device with id=0 becomes sr0, which in your case is the
CDROM.  The SCSI device with id=1 is sr1, which is your burner.  Try
these on for size:

to mount the burner:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr1 /mnt/whatever

to mount the CDROM:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
