boot into the rescue mode (you can achieve this by typing linux rescue
at the prompt that appears when you boot from the redhat install cd)

Skip any "Configure network interfaces" dialog that appears.


now type the following commands:

chroot /mnt/sysimage

grub-install /dev/hda (replace /dev/hda with your name of the hdd)

Frank -

While I agree with you that it would be nice to do an incremental
component-by-component test battery for every server one puts on the
line, I've never heard of any IT department having the staff resources
to do that kind thing for small systems. I've heard of that kind of
detail being paid to clusters and high-availability systems, though.
We don't build many white-box servers anymore, but, occasionally, we
try to stretch our dollars using what's in inventory. Pulled
components may get an extra life or two this way. We'll let a unit run
a week or so and check the logs for trouble before putting it into
production, but that's about all we can realistically hope to do.

Grub Error 22 - Ubuntu / Win2k - Can't boot linux session

Posted: 10 Oct 2006 05:42 AM PDT

--------------------------Reply to above post:

In order to fix the problem, you need to make sure of a couple of
things:

1. Is your harddrive an IDE or SCSI drive, in other words, is it hdX or
sdX?
2. Ensure GRUB knows where to look for the linux bootable kernel....
3. You need to know the naming conventions for GRUB. Instead of the
usual hda1 for the first partition on your drive, GRUB sees this as
hd0,0 where hd0 is hda, and hd1 would be hdb. (These are zeroes, not
ohs). GRUB needs to know where your root ( / ) partition is, so you
have to tell it "root (hd0,0)" for a root filesys on /dev/hda1.
Assuming you have an IDE drive (/dev/hda under linux) at the GRUB boot
prompt press 'e' to edit the entry for your linux partition. Ensure
the root line is : root (hd0,1)
This tells GRUB to look at /dev/hda2, your ext3 file system. (if you
have a scsi drive, change hd to sd in the root command above.

Ensure the kernel line is correct and points to your kernel. You can
also pass any boot parameters at this time to the kernel as well. One
important note on this is the root= parameter on this line. Your
kernel line should resemble the one below:

kernel /boot/<your kernel> root=/dev/hda2 [any parameters you wish to
pass]

once again, if you are using a scsi drive, change the hd to sd above.

Once you are sure that the parameters are correct, press 'b' to boot
your linux kernel.

If you receive any kernel panic errors, recompile the kernel. You will
most likely need a LiveCD to do this.

Once you are booted into your linux environment, you should review
/boot/grub/menu.lst and make the corrections for your linux kernel boot
instruction.

I use GRUB 0.97 on a Compaq Presario 2188CL laptop with a linux system
I built using LFS and BLFS from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org

If you really want to learn how a distribution is built, and know your
system from the inside to the STDOUT, read the LFS book. Then follow
the book (at least the section on GRUB if you want to continue using
UBUNTU).

How are you running the script? If you run it in the normal way, a new

This all seemed to be ok. I compared the system with the problems [A]

gives the message: No programs registered.
In the meantime I upgraded A from Slacxkware 10.2 to 11.0, and now it
works perfectly well.
But I still would like to know what was wrong...

If you don't have X, you definately want the framebuffer (and even if

fbv A nice little image viewer for the fb

gtk There IS a fb target for gtk, but I've never built it.
I'm not sure it works 100%, or even at all, but it is

XFree86 Update Killed my Gnome and KDE Desktops!

Posted: 03 Oct 2006 03:45 PM PDT

(re use of livna/ nvidia rpms) 

yes - perhaps I messed up the coordination with the kernel upgrade. I
ran both the kernel upgrade and the nvidia/livna driver install and
then restarted. Can't remember the precise problems I had but ... no
accelerated x-display I guess (ie just base Xorg nvidia drivers)...

Perhaps my problem was caused by the previous use of the nvidia
installer script - on my original install - which messed with the livna
packages.

(re combining livna rpms and nvidia scripts) 

If I just follow the instructions they work for me. The instructions
are looong but once you've got through them once...
 

I removed the relevant livna rpms and ran the nvidia installer scripts
again. From a console. I was sure I was in for more trouble but those
nvidia scripts worked it out. Thanks for the offer of helping with the
rpms though.

AFAIK you can use mkfs.vfat and doze will happily read it, it

Problems after updating kernel

Posted: 03 Oct 2006 09:28 AM PDT

Dustin wrote: 


Well, you've got two problems. The one with lockups could be the kernel
version. The one with ndiswrapper could be that Linux limits the amount
of stack space the kernel uses, but Windows drivers assume they can get
as much as they want.

A better solution to ndiswrapper woes is to use hardware that's
supported by Linux. I swapped out the built-in Broadcom in my laptop
for a built-in Intel card.

Also, the development RPMs for FC5 *are* set up to be "yum"able, but you
have to configure yum to know about the repository. Or you can just FTP
the files and use rpm (which is what I do).

SUID script help!

Posted: 01 Oct 2006 09:11 AM PDT

Ouch. Ok, theres a lesson for me, always supply the full story.

Ok, the script/program is part of a larger project. This C
script/program isnt going to be actually used on any existing systems
so as I said earlier, security isnt a problem.
As part of this project, I cant use sudo because of the way the project
is being developed.

This is the original coding Im talking about (for those that cant find
the original post)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *var = argv[1];
system(var);
return(0);
}

As someone said in an earlier post, the program is supposed to be one
which sets to suid root and then can run any command on the system.

Fair enough, the program may be 'attrocious for an suid wrapper' but
its fine for what I need. I just need this program to be slightly
tweaked for the end result needed.
