Grappling with Grub

grub-install is self explanatory. i.e., when you run grub-install it
will let you know the details. for example

# grub-install --recheck hd0

will give you the options of the disks you have(but you don't have to do
it every time you make changes in the grub.conf. 

# grub-install hd0

is fine. because this will install grub in the MBR 

in my computer /boot is hda9 and / is hda11, then you let the grub know
by specifying the same in grub.conf file as
---------extracted from my grub.conf file------------------
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.10rescue
root (hd0,8)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10rescue root=/dev/hda11 ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.10rescue
savedefault
boot

now grub knows everything and will let you use your linux operating system.

That is big, isn't it? No reason really. Maybe that's part of the
problem? Doubt it but I'll try a more resonable size.
 
No, I guess that's a good idea. I only just started thinking in terms
of a bad disk. I was thinking bios all this time.

I just found this online my motherboard is bit LBA. This is the
problem I think.

As a matter of fact, my video card is a embedded intel 810. I'll try the
update. I had to revert back to fc2 so can I do this upgrade on fc2 and
will that upgrade carry over to the fc3 upgrade? I appreciate the info.

open source nv driver and nVIDIA 6800

nVidia, ATI and the rest are as they are, but lucklly for us, Timothy Miller
is working with an "open source" graphics card with 3D support and of course
the driver will be open source. I hope there will be people who will support
this project by buying a card, at least I will, so I will have proper 3D on my
PowerPC based Linux machine.

Conceivable, but I'd really urge you to get another disk instead.

where is devpts.sh

Yeah I knew about that, and the funny thing that i forgot to mention
was, everything was fine and dandy for over a year(same setup,
configuration, i apt-get software regularly, reboot after i install new
kernel). But this time i reboot to find myself, not being able to use
any of the devices such as dvd, audio, etc.

so i wanted to ask the elite group, whether the devpts.sh creates these
devices and sets the permission for different users 
Anyhow thanks for your help. i thought i gave everything i could.

Xinetd & host.allow and host.deny

Posted: 25 Jan 2005 10:14 PM PST

Don't forget that xinetd can be compiled without libwrap support, in which
case neither hosts.allow or hosts.deny will be read.

Sorry, the kernel is 2.4.26 and is the bare kernel (vmlinuz) supplied on the
distribution disk. According to the config supplied with it the apm is
supplied as a module with none of the features active, which is the way I've
always used this module. I have not rebuilt this kernel.

Actually, on some earlier versions, I rebuilt the kernel so that the apm was
active and not a module, but with no other features within it active.

I am looking into several other aspects, such as memory, since it seems to
work for several times and then hangs the computer when trying to suspend or
hibernate.

I never played that many computer games after about 1989... practically no
Windows games ever...

Well, I have a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power. This has two small
analog joysticks, a small joypad, four buttons laid out in a NSEW
arrangement, six "fire buttons", and a central button... Plenty of
controls for things like throttle up/down, flaps up/down, etc...

But the control I want to use for the main control yoke is just too
sensitive.

The README.Joystick.html you mention, in my installation, just says "go
read the other file".

Sound problems with debian unstable 2.6.9

Some other program might be using that device.
Maybe your window mngr's sound events.

Ctrl-P on your XMMS to launch 'Preferences'.
At the 'Audio io plugins' tab, look for the 'output
plugin' options, then choose from there.

If you want to merge the sound output with your
desktop environ's 'sound effects', then choose the
right server (plugin), KDE-> Arts, Gnome-> eSound <?>,
etc..

I did mine with a 'Crossfade' plugin, with alsa (dmix)
output. Works very nice :)
