| problem starting up Fedora on an IBM Thinkpad 600E using Xircom card Posted: 31 May 2004 06:58 PM PDT Hi Lenard, Thanks for the suggestion. I added the GATEWAY statment to ifcfg-eth0 as you suggested, but that did not solve the problem. Also, I have DNS server addreseses in /etc/resolv.conf which appear to be ok. They were taken from my router and seem to work with the other PCs on my LAN. Jim Lenard wrote: |

| Crazy mouse kvm problem again with SUSE 9.1 Posted: 28 May 2004 10:59 AM PDT Chris Cox wrote: Maybe dependant on the KVM or could be the mouse driver. My mouse is an MS cordless Intellimouse, connected via a Keyboard/Mouse receiver (see above post) and the mouse uses a USB->PS/2 adapter. Apart from occasional random mouse movements, which pressing Esc alleviates, it doesn't have any problems. Have you tried swapping your mouse out for another model/brand? Does it do the same thing. This should track down whether it is the KVM or the mouse/driver making problems. Dave |

| Converting ext2/ext3 fs to ReiserFS or XFS Journaling File Systems Posted: 27 May 2004 07:28 PM PDT On Fri, 28 May 2004 01:37:51 -0400, Ruby Tuesdays wrote: I dont know about Fedora, but if the default kernel to be installed supports those fs, and the 'installation' provides the tools to create those fs, then of course its possible. After 'installation', first make sure that your current kernel supports the filesystems that you want, and you have the proper tools to make them, eg. mkfs.xfs, mkfs_reiser. Provided you have a spare partition with a fs on it, mount it and copy the files from the partition that you want to convert. ex. # cd /var , # find . -depth -print | cpio -pudm /mnt/spare or something like that, to preserve the original attributes of those files. Edit your /etc/fstab, and make sure the mount points do refer to the new partition. reboot/remount(?). Now, create the filesystem that you desired on that old part. , copy the files, reboot and feel the changes. And thats about it, you're done. enjoy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - stderr(Cagayan de Oro) |

First off, Linux is merely a kernel, although a lot of people get a bit sloppy usage-wise (after all, such nifty stuff can be enfolded around it!). A bit like asking what the best fuel pump for an automobile is. Second, all the distros work for the most part, unless one has strange needs. I favor Gentoo because I like the idea of consistently building systems from scratch, for example; however, the rank newbie might have problems with such a distro, although the directions are for the most part clear enough. (If one's behind a firewall there's a bit of a bugaboo, though; use RSYNC_PROXY=a.b.c.d:e instead of the suggested format in the Handbook. I probably should file a bug... :-) ) I just installed RedHat Enterprise 3.0, however, on a Dell Precision tower, and while I'm having minor problems with Java/JBoss, the install itself was extremely smooth. (It was for work, of course; Fedora is apparently the home version, that much I know. It's using 2.4.21, which is a little long in the tooth by now.) Debian was the system I was using prior to Gentoo; it's a very easy system to work with as well. I've not used Mandrake but have read good things about it. http://www.distrowatch.com contains a list of over 100 distros. Pick one. :-) (They also contain an announcement for FreeBSD 4.10. Go fig.) -- #191, net It's still legal to go .sigless. |

If you have multiple partitions, you might be able to migrate one partition at a time, if you have some spare space. In that case, you could archive what's on one partition onto another partition, redo the partition as a PV, put it in a VG, create an LV, make a filesystem and "unarchive" your data into that LV. Then archive the next partition, declare that as a PV, extend the VG to include it, etc... repeat as necessary. Kinda messy, but possible. For me, I'd add that second disk, put it under LVM, migrate stuff off the first disk, then add that space to LVM. Of course, if you don't have any backup, then obviously, your data is of no value to you, so why don't you just blow it off (pretending you had a disk crash or a totally corrupted filesystem), and start over with LVM. -- Dave Brown Austin, TX |

| RTL 8139 with 2.4.2 bf2 kernel (debian) Posted: 26 May 2004 12:53 AM PDT One caution: if you install your own kernel, you must set kernel headers properly; in my system, I install my own kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4.26, and make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.4.6. Then remove directories, /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux, then make symbolic links /usr/include/asm to /usr/src/linux/include/asm and /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. Then you can compile additional kernel modules. On my system, NVIDIA kernel module driver and vmware kernel modules compile and work perfectly. Debian is very generous to your own kernel. I used woody in the past with my own build 2.4.x kernel. But sarge is also stable and comes with newer software (for example apache2 and xfree86 related packages) I upgraded to sarge (testing).

| I can't find what's wrong with my lilo.conf Posted: 25 May 2004 08:44 PM PDT Removing a hard disk will shuffle BIOS device codes. This kills versions of LILO earlier that 22.3. Since then, LILO defers final BIOS device code assignments to drives until boot-time, allowing the boot-time environment to be different from the install-time (/sbin/lilo) environment. Your config file looks as though it were designed for an earlier version of LILO, possibly version 21. --John On 25 May 2004 20:44:28 -0700, com (Jeff) wrote: |

My company is using RH 8 in a production environment now and I just got a new box to start testing things on, so obviously it has to be the same version as the production environment. I ended up updating the kernel from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.22 and it somehow worked. Go and figure. |
