Problem booting from CD after adding Belkin ATA/133 card

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 08:04 AM PDT

Charles Sullivan <rr.com> wrote: 

I sure do. It's almost like the way that Adaptec SCSI cards look when
you boot up...the mainboard sees the 10GB and CDR, and then I get
something like:

Sil 0680 ATA {mumble}
Press F3 for RAID setup
Searching for devices ......x

and then after about 3 seconds it dumps what the Belkin finds in both
its slots, spits out the RAID configuration (in my case nothing,
because I'm using Linux SW RAID), and then finally boots.

When I go to the BIOS configuration page, it sees the Belkin card, and
I can assign IRQs to it. I have it sharing with USB right now because
I'm not using the USB system at all.

That's what's kind of crazy to me about this. The BIOS recognizes the
card in set-up. The BIOS of the card prints out after POST but before
booting. Once booted, linux can see all devices and everything works
fine. Hey! Maybe I should try (just try!!!) booting a Windows
install CD. If it boots and ISOLINUX fails, then wouldn't it be an
ISOLINUX bug?

Also, maybe I should try using a different IRQ? It looks like I'm
going to have to share with something...audio, video, USB...

Thanks again for your comments...

Since I assume he is using a dual processor system (otherwise the installer
probably would not have installed an smp kernel) all are appropriate to his
hardware. However if he finds that he never uses some of them, then remove
them. HOwever, remember that the linux entry is likely a link.
ls -la /boot/vmunix
would show a link to one of the above. If you remove the one linked to ,
then you also remove the linux entry unless you remake the links in /boot.

I just had a case where on reinstall, a user had created his own userid on
the system, but when the system was installed the old passwd and shadow
files were replaced. He could not log in in X. It turned out that the
/tmp/gconfd-username had been created during the install phase or during
the bootup phase, and since his user id was now different, this blocked his
ability to use gnome at all. The clue was in .xsession-error.

mail proxing

From what I see, fetchmail is used as an intermediate between a local MTA

Well it does not do what I need.
On the exchange/IMAP account I have, I have more then 200 subcatalogs.
Fetchmail canot replicate this structure before starting downloading.

old system, cant boot from cd

Will the box POST? If it will, you ought to be able to check the BIOS

I'd suggest looking into installing either Puppy Linux or
DamnSmallLinux. You can copy the contents of a mini-distro CD to the
hdd (C:/Knoppix,as an example) of the old box by slaving it in another
box. Then use a floppy to boot. Use rawrite to make your boot floppy.
When the box boots from the floppy, the floppy should find/recognise
and initailize on the Hdd. If you have minimal RAM, DSL will work
albeit slowly with as little as 16mb. Forget distros that use KDE or
Gnome as the windows manager/desktop, they need more RAM.

I suspect one would have to edit the command line. I don't know

path of init, usually /sbin/init). It's possible a bare '3'
might work. If the GRUB menu screen allows for selection
of a kernel, press 'e'.

Another method I can think of would be to use a Knoppix
boot disk (Debian and RedHat should also be able to do
this, if one uses ALT-F2 to go to the alternate console),
mount the system disk, and edit /etc/inittab directly,
unmount, then reboot. The relevant line should look like

id:5:initdefault:

Change the 5 to a 3, and save.

As he implies, please post your routing tables on the machine with and
without the eth1

route -n

Look for the default route (0.0.0.0 in the first place).
Look for the route to the nameserver (Ie prtend to be your machine and send
a packet to the nameserver. The routing tables are used by looking for the
most specific entry in the routing table for that address.
Here is an example

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
147.103.234.13 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
153.20.64.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.192.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 153.20.64.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

Let us say the address I want is 137.82.1.1
Then the first entry matches ONLY the address 147.103.234.13 so that does
not work. The second entry matches only addresses which start with
192.168.0 so that does not work. The third entry matches only addresses
which start with 153.20.64 (with the last 6 bits of the third byte and the
whole of the last byte arbitrary) so that does not work. Finally the last
entry 0.0.0.0 with a genmast (netmask) of all 0 matches anything. (Only the
bits in the netmask which are 1 need to match the address).

It is always the most specific route ( the one with the most bits 1 in the
netmask) which is used if more than one entry matches. )

The second entry Gateway, tells the machine where to forward the packet to
to handle it. 0.0.0.0 gateway means that the address is directly on the lan link at
the end of the line, and go onto that line, ask for an arp discovery (ask
if some machine on that link owns the address and deliver directly to the
reported MAC ethernet address, not IP address, if something answers).

connected to the interface. Removing that entry leads to all non-local

My normal.dotm looks great when I open it from the template, but when I open with Word it is different. Why?

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 06:48 PM PDT

All of a sudden when I open Microsoft Office Word 2010 the new document is not an 8 1/2 X 11 page and the cursor is at the very top.  If I go to c:\users\name\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates and open the normal.dotm by right click and open it looks like I want it to.  If I left click to open the dotm from the same location it doesn't look right or if I just open Word.  I can't figure out what has happened.

 

I uninstalled Microsoft Office 2010 Pro and installed it again, but I am getting the same thing.  I got a normal.dotm from a friend that has the same Office and deleted mine and put theirs in, but I still get the same thing.  Oh I also read on a forum that Adobe pdf program can cause the template to mess up so I uninstalled Adobe Reader and still same thing.  I don't have a clue how to fix this.

How to remove automatic tab indent from Heading 1 style?

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:32 AM PDT

I am using Heading 1 to format text in my document to create a section heading eg "Section 1 Introduction".

 

I require the heading to be on centred on 2 lines eg line 1 "Section 1" and line 2 "Introduction".

 

This works find to a point!  But to get the "Section 1" part of the heading centred on the page, I have to remove the default tabs from my document, BECAUSE, the Heading 1 format style inserts a tab indent after the no. eg "Section 1->".  This then causes all existing sytles within my document which use the default tabs to be left aligned!  eg bullets, paragraph indents, no.s etc etc

 

How do I remove the automatic tab indent from Heading 1 style and keep the document default tabs (12.7) and thus the rest of my document formatting intact.  eg stop bullets, paragraph  indents, no. indents from defaulting to left aligned because default tabs dont exist!

What's a Product ID?

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 05:19 AM PDT

Hi

Well the problem is that on install I get an error message
(2349) telling me to contact Support and the install
aborts.

Sort of a catch 22 as I can't install to get the product
ID, but I can't get support without it.

Hmmm. Any ideas, anyone?

Many thanks.

No chris, the problem is not my hardware. Like I said, with all the software
I install on my computer, including graphics intensive games, everything
works just fine, until I install office xp. The problem is with office and I
want to know why it has that effect and how to fix it.

From a quick search of the internet, it seems the culprit might be a bad cd
rom drive, or a faulty CD. Do you have the latest drivers for your CDRom?

Chad,

Thanks very much for your input - it's much appreciated,
even if I still have the problem!

I will post on the Outlook BCM group as you suggest (if I
can find it - it doesn't seem to show up in the newsgroup
list).

Thanks again.

Regards

how to install office xp

Posted: 03 Jul 2004 12:52 PM PDT

Did you specifically pay for Microsoft Office? If not then you won't be
able to activate it. In the UK I am aware that PCWORLD is installing MS
Office 2003 on all machines but thease are not activated and can't be
activated unless you buy a retail version or upgrade version of the
product from them. I don't know how and why they do it but it gives
more headaches to us providing private consultancy to cusomers.

Office 2003 custom install

Posted: 02 Jul 2004 09:23 AM PDT

You are correct that this feature does prevent the
installation of Access. However, when you select CHANGE
from Add/Rem Progs AND before the user can select
different options to change within the Office install,
another screen pops up. This is a screen that lists all
the apps (including Infopath etc.) and the user can just
select any app and it gets installed. Anyway, thanks for
replying.


 
Installation States step, rather than choosing "Not
Available" for Access, choose "Not Available, Hidden,
Locked". I believe this will prevent users from adding it
through Add/Remove.

Thank you,

it looks as if we have to change within the printer settings "printer fonts"
to "soft fonts" to make it work.

Need fit MSOfc97 in tight space

Posted: 27 Jun 2004 10:15 PM PDT

BTW, a side-issue is that when I try to install (dual boot via
modified msdos.sys) Office97 on the Win98 side, it deletes Office 4.3
on the Win3 side

It does ask somewhere, but I slipped once.. once burnt, twice
shy.. any tips from those with more experience..

Calculations

Posted: 18 Jun 2004 06:46 AM PDT

To start, can you tell us how planned % complete would be calculated?
Based on duration? work? From which baseline? What about tasks without a
baseline? Any limitations on the tasks which should have this number? Should
it be calculated based on current date or from status date (I recommend
status date)? Any other conditions that the calculation needs to take into
account?

If you can supply answers to those questions then writing the code is fairly
straight forward.

Dale, I had thought that also, however there are no resources in this
document the work was estimated directly without assigning resources...

approvals for actual hours?

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 07:31 AM PDT

Dave --

Theoretically, each task in a project could have a different project
manager, though that simply is not practical. To set up a project so that
multiple managers can each manage a section of a project, do the following:

1. Project manager #1 opens the project and clicks Collaborate - Publish -
All Information
2. PM#1 saves and closes the project

This step makes PM#1 the manager of every task in the project, and all task
updates from resources will be sent to him/her by Project Server.

3. PM#2 opens the project and selects only those tasks that he/she will
manage
4. PM #2 clicks Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. In the dialog, PM#2 chooses "Selected items" from the pick list at the
top of the dialog
6. PM#2 selects the "Become the manager for these assignments" option and
clicks OK
7. PM#2 saves and closes the project

This sequence of steps makes PM#2 the manager of only the selected tasks,
and all task updates for resources on the selected tasks will be redirected
to PM#2 by Project Server. Each additional PM will need to complete steps
#3-7. Hope this helps.

Hours on a project

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 07:23 AM PDT


Thanks I think i am on the right track,

Now i just have a question about how the hours are calculated, Some time
the projects have the correct hours and other times really night, it looks
as if they have Too many hours.

Any ideas as you helped a great deal for my first question :)

Resource usage based on time estimate

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 11:00 AM PDT

Thank you both.

Fixed Work does seem closer to what I'm trying to do. The only problem I
have now is that it adjusts the units when I add another resource, but that
happens less often. Fixed units for adding resources, and fixed work the
rest of the time seems like it would be the best for me. Maybe I'm just a
control freak! ;-)

I did some reading on assigning and editing resources, and still didn't find
a way to do it using hours instead of % usage, so I am keeping track of
hours in the notes field. Not perfect, but I can make it work for now.
