Recompiled Kernel route error:)
We recently recompiled our kernal (v2.0.0) to allow for dual processing and
ipaliasing.
Everything went smoothly accept for 1 error when the server reboots, while
running the /etc/init.d/network file we get the following error ...
route forgot to specify route netmask
SIOCADDRT: invalid argument
route forgot to specify route netmask
SIOCADDRT: invalid argument
route forgot to specify route netmask
Despite this, the machine seems to be running eprfectly (the outside world
can acces the server and vice a versa), below is our network file
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=203.17.176.20
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=203.17.176.0
BROADCAST=203.17.176.255
GATEWAY=203.17.176.1
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1nt
If anyoen can offer any suggestion, we would much appreciate it.
thanks

Has anyone installed on a Toshiba T2115CS?
I'm trying to install on a Toshiba T2115CS, and it was working fine yesterday, but today the lcd will not stay turned on very long at all... I'm really not sure whether this is a hardware problem with the machine, or if something installed wrong. I have the December InfoMagic 6-CD Linux Developer's Resource set. My primary computer has a CD drive (the Toshiba doesn't), so I was using a PPP link and dpkg-ftp to do a full install. It took so long, I went to bed and when I got up this morning, the LCD was blank. No key combination would start it and I eventually gave up and powered it off. I've since run the tsetup program and verified that the display auto shut off is disabled, but it keeps shutting off -- even while running tsetup (which is why I'm not ruling out a hardware problem). APM was one of the things that I was installing, but since I don't know how far the install got, I don't know if it was installed or not. Anyone know what I should look for, or have any suggestions of ways to narrow down what is going on?

99.9% load in /sbin/sylsogd - upgrade errors
I mirrored rex, and upgraded, unfortunately It is not very successful. The install failed a couple times, till that last installation failed with errors in the csh and tcsh packages. It seems on conflicts with the other, and neither will install properly, but this seems minor. My big problem, is the system is slow. The console seems quick. All programs run. They seem very slow when they come up, but once its up the programs are fine - emacs, pine, man. When top is run, the load average for /sbin/syslogd shows between 80-99.9% load, depending on what else is running, but the total load is always 100%. I checked the /var/log directory, and no log files are increasing in size. I can start ppp, but the netstat and route programs will only display the header lines, and then the lock up. Occasionally the console gets a message modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10 And I've seen the in.Comsat get displayed to the console once, but I don't remember the context that it occured.

Re: Problem with new Logitech bus mouse [apparently solved].
Hi again. Well, I tried much stuff including compiling David Howells PnP code into a 2.0.27 kernel. In the end, it looks like what solves the problem is a proper warm boot with loadlin. I used stripped config.sys and autoexec.bat files so that no drivers are loaded when linux boots. As a result, the PnP settings on the Logitech serial card are seen by the BIOS before the kernel loads. Then, /dev/cua3 is properly recognized and set to irq 10 (which is the Windoze setting I'm using). I believe that a similar method will work for linux without the need for booting a M$ OS: Boot linux and then use Peter Fox's isapnptools package to set the board up correctly prior to a warm reboot. Assuming that one doesn't reboot several times a day/week, this should be acceptable. As far as I know, PnP support is far from ready for general distribution and incorporation into the linux kernel, but there are some workarounds available. Cheers.

To accomadate a new serial device (a USR Pilot) I just bought a mouse which is called a Logitech bus mouse. Actually, it is a serial mouse that comes with a bus board that provides an additional 9 pin serial port. Under Windoze '95, this plug and pray board gets assigned to COM3 and irq 10 using the manual configuration method (for those of you who have struggled with plug and pray on M$ systems, you know what that means). I always warm boot Debian using loadlin. So far, I've had no luck getting Linux to recognize my additional serial port. I've used kernels 2.0.25 and 2.0.27 with various suport compiled in. I downloaded and successfully ran some pnp software: pnpdump and isapnp which successfully find the board and claim to configure it with base address 0x3e8 and irq 10. However, using commands like 'setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x3e8 irq 10' have yielded no results. (I did try several times to use /dev/logibm until I clued in that the mouse is a serial mouse and not a busmouse.)

mta suggestions?
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to unix mail systems, so perhaps someone can help me out. I need to have aliases on the system that are the same username, but a different domain, eg [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] The difficult part is that I need these two to be sent to different domains. I posted to comp.mail.smail about it, but received only one me too message; everybody else seems to be more interesting in arguing smail vs sendmail vs qmail vs exim. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Either another MTA (eg sendmail), or how to do it with smail? I'd prefer to stick with smail as possible, since I understand it to some extent, and have UUCP working with that already.

Help with installing Debian 1.2
Hi, I'm trying to install Debian 1.2 stable version for the fiest time. I downlowaded the six floppies from www.debian.org. My computer's configuration: P 90 MHz, 32 MB, PCI bus, two SCSI disks, scsi controller is NCR53c810 (so the computer reports), first disk 1 GB with MS DOS installed, second disk 2.5 GB where I want to install Debian, one 1.44 MB floppy, no CD-ROM. I have been running Slackware linux for 2 years. Here are the problems: ---When booting from the Rescue disk, if I just hit return at the boot: prompt, it hangs at the $ld cm206.c v.99. ... Exp$ line. After some fiddling, I found that if I say linux cm206=0 at the boot: prompt, it reports unable to find the device (something to that effect) at the $ld cm206 line, and goes on. After that I was able to install the base system and the device drivers. ---At the end of install, I was asked to make a boot floppy, so I put in a new disk and made one. After that I was asked to reboot the computer with the boot floppy, so I did. With this boot floppy, I still had to enter linux cm206=0 at the boot: prompt, otherwise it would hang. But after that and some messages later, the computer reports unable to initialize console or something like that and hangs. And I don't know what to do! Please help. Many thanks. PS. I've seen two other people on this list with similar problems. If these two people got private answers, please forward them to me. Thanks.

modules and missing ones
Another question, in Release 1.1, I had cdrom,isofs, and sound modules loading up during boot-up. Release 1.2 complains about not being able to find any of these modules during boot-up. isofs appears to have been compiled into the kernel. So no big deal, but what about cdrom and sound modules? What happened to them? msdos used to be loaded up, and now it isn't. Again, it appears that msdos support has been compiled into the kernel. What other changes have been made from 1.1 to 1.2?

The general method for doing this is to use xwd or xwpick to dump the screen to a file. However, I have been unable to find a utility that will do this in 16bpp mode! Does one exist? I have tried xwpick and xwd-xwd2ps. Thanks! SJG -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help with installing Debian 1.2 (#2)
Well, I sort of stumbled through the two problems I reported earlier (see the included message below). To solve the unable to open initial console problem with the created boot floppy, I found out that I had to press ENTER twice at the boot: prompt. (If I don't it will hang, very, very strange. BTW, I was using the rescue disk created on Dec. 8. Now the new problem: Debian 1.2 boots up, asks for root password and a user name, etc. All goes okay until it drops me into 'dselect'. I select ftp as the installation method. Then following the prompt on screen, I choose 'ftp.debian.org' as the ftp site, etc. But it hangs at 'connecting to ftp.debian.org', nothing happens. I had to control-C to get out. I checked my ethernet connection with 'ifconfig' command, it seems to be working okay--it receives and transmits packets. I checked 'ftp.debian.org' with another computer, it connects to santanni.cc.gatech.edu. I tried this name too, same thing. It seems ftp in the dselect software is not working correctly, any ideas?

I downlowaded the six floppies from www.debian.org. My computer's configuration: P 90 MHz, 32 MB, PCI bus, two SCSI disks, scsi controller is NCR53c810 (so the computer reports), first disk 1 GB with MS DOS installed, second disk 2.5 GB where I want to install Debian, one 1.44 MB floppy, no CD-ROM. I have been running Slackware linux for 2 years. Here are the problems: ---When booting from the Rescue disk, if I just hit return at the boot: prompt, it hangs at the $ld cm206.c v.99. ... Exp$ line. After some fiddling, I found that if I say linux cm206=0 at the boot: prompt, it reports unable to find the device (something to that effect) at the $ld cm206 line, and goes on. After that I was able to install the base system and the device drivers. ---At the end of install, I was asked to make a boot floppy, so I put in a new disk and made one. After that I was asked to reboot the computer with the boot floppy, so I did. With this boot floppy, I still had to enter linux cm206=0 at the boot: prompt, otherwise it would hang. But after that and some messages later, the computer reports unable to initialize console or something like that and hangs. And I don't know what to do! Please help. Many thanks. PS. I've seen two other people on this list with similar problems. If these two people got private answers, please forward them to me. Thanks.

Sbpcd and MAKEDEV
I have the basic disks installed.1.2 and the new-resq144. I added the
module for sbpcd. When I boot from Lilo I can't find the CDROM anywhere.
There is no sbpcd in /dev and when I try to run MAKEDEV it won't run from
root and from a login in it complains that there is an unexpected { in
column 2 line34 of the Makedev.cfg?? Should I dwnld the resq144 and use
it? And why
doesn't the boot up sequence find my serial ports cua1 etc.? The sbpcd
module is apparently installing from the boot messages I get showing the
probe and then the devicedo I have to compile a kernel to remove the
probing for other
cd devices?
TIA
Jim

Re: Setting up Masquerading on Debian machines.
Remco van de Meent said: Yes, but what you want is masquerading the eth-iface using the ppp0-iface... So what I suggest is the following: ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 192.168.1.1 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W ppp0 I believe the -W option should only be used for -I and -O rules. Forwarding by definition occurs across (at least) two interfaces, so limiting it to one interface using -W doesn't make sense. Also, don't forget that 'ping' won't work :) (use traceroute or telnet). -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 3 days.
