It could be the BIOS telling you that you don't have a partition marked
"active" in the partition table. You might boot a rescue CD and check
that. It could also mean the boot manager (grub or lilo) isn't installed
in the MBR. Since those things are free to check, I would.

Without knowing if the message comes from the BIOS or boot manager, who
knows what it means?

how run linux from CD, porblem is very problematic

Hello magnate,

The setup worked all the way till it loaded drivers from CD rom but
after that it would say that there is error reading cd and when i used
option of checking the integrity of the Debian CD it says that it is
not an Debian disk.

Funny thing earlier in the installtion it recognised the CD as an
debian installer CD and when the actual installation process came it
just refuses to accept the cd as that of Debian.

any guess why.

I want to learn linux programing so my requirements are just gcc and if
possible gtk or graphical development environment can you suggest any
solution to above with my current system configration because i am not
going to purchase any new computer in the near future because this old
guy is just working fine for me and i have run the open office non
installation distribution for windows. It just takes some time and
gives some errors but i can do almost all the things i do with
mircrosoft office.

Thanks for your Support.

I don't have a RH9 system handy any more, but he might have to manually
load a module? You might try "modprobe vfat" before the mount command.
And is the pen drive sdc? You can see the scsi devices in
/proc/scsi/scsi (with cat), and you can see the partitions with "fdisk
-l /dev/sda" (note, no digit after the device name).

Sendmail Setup

Some POP3, and especially IMAP servers, can authenticate via database
back-ends. This creates a possibility for shared resources or multiple user
access to the same shared email that's otherwise access.

In fact, if possible, throw out POP3. There are many, many powerful
technical reasons not to use it, the most important of which is that if you
connect to the same server from two different clients, the layout of
mailboxes is almost impossible to synchronize with POP3.
 

I've seen similar, where a VP hired a secretary to manage their
overwhelming mail spool rather than upgrading the server to MAILDIR so they
could easily access and manage their huge mailboxes.
 

I've worked with both. I got turned onto Postfix less than 3 years ago,
because so many folks I worked with really insisted on using UNIX servers
such as Suns for core services. I'm very disenchanted with the approach:
useful and problem-saving shifts, such as the integration of procmail and
milters, tend to lag way behind in default UNIX sendmail releases.
 

And this is relevant. "Avoid the need".
 

Oh, please! POP3, which is the name of the protocol, works just fine until
it shreds people's email because *every single POP3 client in the universe*
downloads all the mail and deletes it off the server, by default. This means
that every time someone sets up a new client, they risk blowing away all
their email from the server. This is painfully stupid and risks user's
email. I've had to fix and restore mail blown away this way, repeatedly,
until I migrated people over to IMAP.

And please, learn the language of what you're discussing. There is no such
thing as POPD. There are easily dozens of POP daemons available, but none of
them I've seen in the Linux world are called POPD. There is pop3d, which is
what some software calls the daemon, and even pop2d for POP2 as opposed to
POP3 services.

Thanks,
But my /etc/resolv.conf is already modified and includes my ISP's DNS

Any more ideas?

FC5 Installation Problems

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 12:42 PM PDT

Hi Bill Thanks for your reply.

Sorry I think I'm making things a bit complicated, basically I can't
get into the GUI installer it X Server just hangs at a black screen.
However I have found a work around, by using the 'linux nodmraid'
command I managed to boot into the GUI.

The only problem is I need dmraid to be on. I can't get into the
installer without the nodmraid command, but the installer dosent see my
RAID Array without it!

I have tried the vesa drivers ('linux vesa') but all that happens is I
get a no signal error when the GUI is meant to boot up.

So does anyone know a workaround for my nodmraid problem?

There is a custom install option. I have no idea what the minimum would be, the
kernel and bash and I would be guessing on what else. Never having done it I
don't know what happens if you do not get a complete minimum set. With luck it
will check dependencies and report what else you need.
