Need to make room in my partition with Kernel and boot up stuff...

It looks like you skipped this paragraph: "I should still have plenty of room. Where did all the
disk space go? Or is it another partition/directories? When I downloaded and installed the newer
Kernel, it said I ran out of disk space so it never finished so I had to clean up the mess. I
assume it needs extra room for temporary stuff (extractions?)?"

See the part where it said I ran out of disk space during installation/extraction after
downloading.

How to enable unprivileged user mount and unmount removable devices

Posted: 24 May 2006 05:42 AM PDT

You just need to edit fstab and change "owner" to "users".

Example

/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto,owner 0 0
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto,user 0 0

Why do I have to run modprobe usbhid to connect to my APC UPS?

No, no one knows. Just add "usbhid" to the bottom of /etc/modules to fix
it permanently.

Do a "man 5 modules" too.

Location of Kernel modules

Posted: 23 May 2006 04:12 AM PDT

> You need to change the kernel version, I can't tell you how for SuSE 

I did that
old: 2.6.11.4-21.11-default
new: 2.6.16-default

All the filenames seem OK now, and the 2.6.16-default (not by Suse, but
from Kernel.org) works OK.

The problem is that after "make install" I can't boot the SuSe Kernel
any more, as insmod now tries to access the "2.6.16-default" modules.

Before playing with the kernel.org sources I already seemingly
successfully recompiled the SeSe kernel. So I should be able to do "make
install" with same.

After that the vmlinuz-2.6.11.4-21.11-default this "make install" copied
to boot runs fine (verified by uname -r).

Now trying 2.6.16-default again ....

and it works OK now, too (verified by uname -r).

The only difference is that I did "make install" for the original SuSe
installation for the first time now.

So I suppose the original suggestion that /proc/version delivers the
information directly from the Kernel and that insmod uses proc/version
seems correct. (I _could_ verify this from the sources....)

Thanks a million ! I did learn a lot about this stuff from the
discussion in any case !

Sorry for the problem.

Are there any "temp" or "trash" folders with deletable files ?

OK, I got it resolved with the help of apcupsd mailing list, but one remaining issue. See

.... I don't know why I had to run modprobe usbhid to make it work. I never had to do that
before, but then I upgraded a lot during 142 days (I recall udev replaced hotplug or
something). Anyways, go to that thread and see the details and reply. :)

Loading Linux - error LIL - using SCSI RAID-1

*Why*?

RedHat 7.x is way, way, way out of date. Is your hardware extremely old or
underpowered or something? And are you doing the updates from
fedoralegacy.org?
 

My monitor went black in Linux/Debian (X) and text mode earlier today...

Oh, that was a side story. I was doing something else. But I doubt that can cause the probelms I had on my Linux
box.

 

Well, I wished I could read the SMART info, but I think this Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus ST3120026A 120 GB (8 MB
cache; 7200 RPM) HDD, that SpinRite was working on, has limitations. It is connected via VIA SATA Controller
(onboard Promise controller just won't boot up Windows XP 100%). So, no SMART information, temperature readings,
etc. Even SpinRite said that too. Just remember, I have three internal HDDs and two CD/DVD drives. Anyways, this
is another subject and off-topic.

 

It was only a side story and off-topic. So ignore it. :)

 

Maybe, but I never had that problem before with all NVIDIA driver releases. It still doesn't explain why I
couldn't see anything in text mode and after reboots until I powered down the machine for a few minutes.
