problem starting up Fedora on an IBM Thinkpad 600E using Xircom card

Posted: 31 May 2004 06:58 PM PDT

Hi Lenard,

Thanks for the suggestion. I added the GATEWAY statment to ifcfg-eth0
as you suggested, but that did not solve the problem. Also, I have
DNS server addreseses in /etc/resolv.conf which appear to be ok.
They were taken from my router and seem to work with the other PCs
on my LAN.

I should have said that this problem only arose recently -
the machine is quite old, maybe 5 years,

I guess there must be something wrong with the SCSI controller,
as was suggested.
I have another SCSI disk in the machine,
and will try swapping them round.

[PATCH] Patch to hook up PPP to simple class sysfs support

according to

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.5

Looks like FC may not have changed the pppd code. If I jumped to a
wrong conclusion then I apologize. Here's the line in the standard
pppd 2.4.2 code that generates error:

pppd/options.c: option_error("error in active-filter expression: %s\n", pcap_

Perhaps your libpcap and mine differ, and mine does the right thing.
It was installed back in late 2002:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135878 Oct 21 2002 /usr/lib/libpcap.a

Anyway something is different, since the pppd (2.4.1, 2.4.2) filter
options work great here.

a|
a| The same advice holds for any other Linux server using a 2.4 kernel -

a|
a| As a consequence, NFS v2 is also a big no-no if you want performance,

a|
a| Don't export with the "async" option (this is generic advice) if

Crazy mouse kvm problem again with SUSE 9.1

Maybe dependant on the KVM or could be the mouse driver. My mouse is an MS

Have you tried swapping your mouse out for another model/brand? Does it do
the same thing. This should track down whether it is the KVM or the
mouse/driver making problems.

Converting ext2/ext3 fs to ReiserFS or XFS Journaling File Systems

I dont know about Fedora, but if the default kernel to

After 'installation', first make sure that your current
kernel supports the filesystems that you want, and you have
the proper tools to make them, eg. mkfs.xfs, mkfs_reiser.
Provided you have a spare partition with a fs on it, mount it
and copy the files from the partition that you want to convert.
ex. # cd /var , # find . -depth -print | cpio -pudm /mnt/spare
or something like that, to preserve the original attributes of
those files. Edit your /etc/fstab, and make sure the mount points
do refer to the new partition. reboot/remount(?). Now, create
the filesystem that you desired on that old part. , copy the files,
reboot and feel the changes. And thats about it, you're done.

A loaded question. First off, Linux is merely a kernel, although
a lot of people get a bit sloppy usage-wise (after all, such
nifty stuff can be enfolded around it!). A bit like asking
what the best fuel pump for an automobile is.

Second, all the distros work for the most part, unless one
has strange needs. I favor Gentoo because I like the idea
of consistently building systems from scratch, for example;
however, the rank newbie might have problems with such
a distro, although the directions are for the most part
clear enough. (If one's behind a firewall there's a bit
of a bugaboo, though; use RSYNC_PROXY=a.b.c.d:e instead of
the suggested format in the Handbook. I probably should
file a bug... :-) )

I just installed RedHat Enterprise 3.0, however, on a
Dell Precision tower, and while I'm having minor problems
with Java/JBoss, the install itself was extremely smooth.
(It was for work, of course; Fedora is apparently the home
version, that much I know. It's using 2.4.21, which is a
little long in the tooth by now.) Debian was the system
I was using prior to Gentoo; it's a very easy system to
work with as well. I've not used Mandrake but have read
good things about it.

http://www.distrowatch.com

contains a list of over 100 distros. Pick one. :-)

(They also contain an announcement for FreeBSD 4.10. Go fig.)

upgrading disk to lvm

Posted: 26 May 2004 04:06 AM PDT

In article <uio.no>,
Patrick Guio wrote: 

It's my belief that there is no "easy" way.

If you have multiple partitions, you might be able to migrate one
partition at a time, if you have some spare space. In that case, you
could archive what's on one partition onto another partition, redo the
partition as a PV, put it in a VG, create an LV, make a filesystem and
"unarchive" your data into that LV. Then archive the next partition,
declare that as a PV, extend the VG to include it, etc... repeat as
necessary. Kinda messy, but possible. For me, I'd add that second disk,
put it under LVM, migrate stuff off the first disk, then add that space to
LVM.

Of course, if you don't have any backup, then obviously, your data is of
no value to you, so why don't you just blow it off (pretending you had a
disk crash or a totally corrupted filesystem), and start over with LVM.

RTL 8139 with 2.4.2 bf2 kernel (debian)

Posted: 26 May 2004 12:53 AM PDT

One caution: if you install your own kernel, you must set kernel headers
properly; in my system, I install my own kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4.26,
and make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.4.6.
Then remove directories, /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux, then make
symbolic links /usr/include/asm to /usr/src/linux/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. Then you can compile
additional kernel modules. On my system, NVIDIA kernel module driver and
vmware kernel modules compile and work perfectly. Debian is very generous
to your own kernel. I used woody in the past with my own build 2.4.x
kernel. But sarge is also stable and comes with newer software (for example
apache2 and xfree86 related packages) I upgraded to sarge (testing).

I can't find what's wrong with my lilo.conf

Posted: 25 May 2004 08:44 PM PDT

Removing a hard disk will shuffle BIOS device codes. This kills versions of
LILO earlier that 22.3. Since then, LILO defers final BIOS device code
assignments to drives until boot-time, allowing the boot-time environment to
be different from the install-time (/sbin/lilo) environment.

Your config file looks as though it were designed for an earlier version of
LILO, possibly version 21.

Thank you for all your help.
My company is using RH 8 in a production environment now and I just
got a new box to start testing things on, so obviously it has to be
the same version as the production environment.

I ended up updating the kernel from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.22 and it somehow
worked. Go and figure.
