Internal PCI Modem Card using KNoppix

Posted: 03 Nov 2005 08:14 AM PST

Thanks for the reply...am typing from work so cannot check the name of
the card. But is is an internal DSL modem card which I plug straight
into the phone socket not via a router which in my technical ignorance
I beleive is what an ethernet card would do???

It uses connextant (or something) chipset....I will see what details I
have and update tomorrow.

Cheers

Reiserfs is all I've used since I started using SuSE in Feb. 2000. I've
still got the same hdd's I had then and not had one problem ever with it
(reiserfs). The only reiserfs that's still unstable is the latest version
(4?).

grub settings to boot from USB CDROM

The kernel which is copied to the hard disc (/boot/suse/linux) is the
Suse setup kernel. Don't use another kernel which might be on your
system. The setup kernel will read modules from its initrd
(/boot/suse/initrd). Don't use or make another initrd which might be
on your system. Try to boot /*exactly*/ as I did, using the Suse tools.

If you want to get into the technical details about linux startup, then
this is a good resource:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/x88.html

That documenent explains that the kernel parameter, root=, defines where
the kernel should look for a root filesystem to mount and look for the
program init. Without specifying these kernel parameters with the loader
(grub, in this case), the kernel will use its internal defaults. rdev
is a command which which will display the internal kernel settings
(man rdev). In any case, the internal defaults must be correct because
it boots without any parameters.

Yes, GRUB is very persistant. You can do this:

1) with a Windows bootable diskette run "fdisk /mbr" or
2) with the VL CDROM or a Live Linux CD such as System Rescue CD run this
command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1 count=512" . That puts zeros
into the MBR.
3) you then should then install lilo to the MBR from the VL install CDROM

BTW there is a very good VectorLinux forum at
http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum

Cant get KDE to load

I have exactly the similar problem

By choosing KDE and Gnome at installation time, your system should be firing
up the x-windows.
When installing the 10.0 Final version, the system works OK until apgraded
with the latest kde upgrades.
If you install 10.1, I cannot get the graphics to work except the xinit, but
when any other command is called on, I get a dump or sdegfault.

This is not only me, I get the same info from my friends.
The common denominators are

AMD cpu
Non 3D graphics ( built in on the motherboard )

I can repeat this fault!
