Suse install: Can I load ISO images from hard disk?

Then there's something wrong almost any distro can be installed
through the network. Personally prefer http to install, this
seems most reliable. Enhance logging on the ftp server and check
the logs. Please show us real data (cut&paste) from the logs if
you can't figure it out.

how to make a floppy which will boot up from /dev/hdc1?

Put in a floppy which you have created with /dev/hdc1 (not as raid, but
it probably doesn't matter) mounted on /mnt and lilo run with -b
/dev/fd0, and -C /home/mylilo.cfg, which has things in it like "linear"
and "root=/dev/md0" (or hdc1, whatever) and "image=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz.".

 

Test - make a floppy as above.

 

Then just change it :-).
 

I don't follow. Why do something so complicated?

sound card not working on FC4

I'm running Fedora Core 4, kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
My machine is a Celeron 2.7ghz/3.1ghz (overclocked), with an Asus
mainboard (P4S800-MX), 512 mb RAM. Used to be an HP Pavilion a305w,
but I upgraded the system extensively (added AGP video card, second
hard drive, this sound card, US Robotics modem, DVD drive, overclocked
the chip, added 256mb more RAM, added a case fan).

To Lenard:
In my /lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1532_FC4/kernel/sound/pci directory, I have
several files: among them,
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 63292 Oct 19 22:51 snd-cmipci.ko
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 25344 Oct 19 22:51 snd-als4000.ko

Typing modprobe snd-als4000 gives me the shell prompt again. Not sure
what it did.

Modified /etc/modprobe.conf as requested, then rebooted: no change.

contents of /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth0 sis900

}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-als4000

Interesting part of dmesg | more:

Any suggestions...?

How to change the terminal color?

Depends on the emulator, if you're referring to something
within X. xterm can use -fg or -bg, as someone has
already pointed out. gnome-terminal has a pulldown menu.
I don't know the name for telnet. Other emulators have
their own ideas.

If you're referring to one of the text *consoles*
(/dev/tty1 through /dev/ttyN), I don't have a clue...though
the console does respond to some extent to ANSI escape
sequences.

Is reiserfs slower to mount / on bootup?

Hmm. Maybe 18 months ago, I think. I don't have the date of the last time I
slammed into this in hand.
 

*IN THEORY*. Basically, after enough errors, the disk will be taken offline,
the contents will be re-imaged to it using the contents of the other drives,
and the same bad drive will be re-activated or left off-line depending on
your particular controller and setup.
 

Oh, it was noticing errors, and reporting them to the upper layers. Reiserfs
was mis-handling it, attempting to continue operation when the system should
have been brought down for RAID-set reconstruction. Then the attempts to fix
the file system with Reiserfs-based fsck tools damaged things even further.

I had similar failures when a drive of similar vintage failed on an
identical RAID5 set with ext3, got a bunch of errors reported without the
intermittent and unreliable crappy behavior I saw with Reiserfs, the fsck
flat-out failed, and I got a chance to rebuild the RAID array with minimum
problems and no significant data lost, perhaps becuase ext3 failed earlier
and failed cleanly rather than dragging its nails across the doorframe,
resisting down-time.
 

They're pretty well understood: for example, if I'd had some spare space and
a smarter controller, I could have used one of the disks as a "global
hot-swap", to provide swap-out capacity for any of the connected RAID
arrays. I've had good success with that approach.

SSH server on Suse 9

What do you see if you try to telnet to port 22 on the server? Can you ping
the machine, or reach other services on it that are running like a
webserver? If not, you may have a network configuration problem. If so, you
may have a firewall configuration problem. SuSE has a tool called YaST that
can be used for configuring firewalls.

Also, SuSE 9 is pretty out of date. I would update to at least SuSE 9.3, if
not 10.0, if you have to use SuSE.

broadcomm nic card driver installation on linux 6.2 with 2.2.22 kernel

Next time, please cross-post instead of separate posts
in several newsgroups. You have already good answers in
other newsgroups you posted into.

I guess that your distribution is Red Hat 6.2.
It is far too old to be installed anywhere.
Please get a more modern distribution - yours
is full of known security holes.

The Ethernet card you have is much younger
than your kernel. You need a newer version,
at least 2.4, probably 2.6.

KVM Switch doesn't work

Posted: 29 Oct 2005 12:48 PM PDT

My Abit KG7-RAID motherboard has a PS/2 port for the keyboard and
mouse. One disadvantage of using a USB keyboard is that I can't press
the Delete key to get into the Abit KG7-RAID Bios. I'm wondering if my
problems with SCROLL LOCK would go away by switching to a PS/2 KVM
switch?

USB.Bluetooth not recognized at boot-time

Hi,

device not accepting address message do points to a problem with the
interrupts.
Try disable ACPI support on your mainboard. Are there interrupts enabled
for USB in BIOS.
The usb driver assigns a new address to a device on every plugin event.
On bootup there will be generated a single event to detect all devices
which are already plugged in.
Therefor it looks like the USB will be unplugged first an sane in again.
Its simple.

/sbin/udevsend is the new way of handling the hotplug subsystem and has
been introduced with the 2.6.xx kernel.
The udev-hotplug system changes a lot. Do you have the latest version from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug

I hope it gives you some more ideas.
