Why can't Linux see my NIC? Posted: 19 Feb 2004 09:32 PM PST "Hiawatha Bray" <com> wrote in message news:<QZgZb.62972$gnilink.net>... Not sure about SUSE specifics and "red failed flags", but there are a few things you can check. "lspci" will show you if linux can see the NIC at all (assuming it is pci) "ifconfig -a" will show you all configured network interfaces "lsmod" will show you which modules you have loaded I'd take a guess that you don't have the module (In "Windows" I guess you'd call this a "driver") loaded. Either way, running those commands will show you wether your NIC is correctly set up or not. If there is no problem with the nic, then you can move on to how you're doing DHCP. |

USB Modem? Posted: 17 Feb 2004 02:21 PM PST Maurice Batey wrote: My USB Zip drive is the IOmega 100mB, which receives its power right from the USB port. I have never had problems booting with it plugged into the USB port. Also, Linux (2.4.23 kernel) is able to find it on the bus if I plug it in after booting. Do you suppose yours fails because you Brits drive on the wrong side of the road? Hm, probably not. Roby |
Best way to "Clone" a Linux Hard drive? Posted: 17 Feb 2004 02:14 PM PST Chris Cox <net> wrote: Eh? A copy is a clone. If you are trying to say that you want a copy that preserves the exact bits on disk, rather than "just" the arrangement of files, then by all means say so rather than reaching for a word that does not mean what you think it means! But unfortunately that will not work to give you a working boot sector in all situations. In fact. in very few. Kindly stop insulting people you unpleasant slug ... ?? "on drugs" is an expression meaning "hallucinating, seeing things in a distorted way, living in a private universe, etc.". That's what you seem to be! There is no difference. I am not confusing anything, you are! I told you what clone means. I'll write it out for you again if you like! 1. An exact duplicate: "Our product is a clone of their product." Implies a legal reimplementation from documentation or by reverse-engineering. Also connotes lower price. 2. A shoddy, spurious copy: "Their product is a clone of our product." 3. A blatant ripoff, most likely violating copyright, patent, or trade secret protections: "Your product is a clone of my product." This use implies legal action is pending. Etc. Eh? You said it! Then you would be wrong. COPYING a boot sector (note,not "cloning") does not give you a bootable machine. It doesn't matter, whatever you are trying to say (I suspect you are trying to get out words that mean that the offset on disk of the target kernel or secondary stage loader will be changed by the copy from the original, which means that the CLONED boot sector will miss it, since it still has the physical location of the original embedded in it). That's "right". That's why you have to COPY the boot sector and CHANGE it for its new environment. Do YOU get it? Apparently not! You see - you don't know how that boot sector was generated. Therefore you don't know what it is aiming at. Theerfore you don't know what to repoint it at. Nor do you know which disk it is trying to boot. Nor what the new bios calls that disk (0x80? 0x81?). Yes, if you take all the disks from one machine, and copy them to all the disks of another machine, and put them in exactly the same places, and remove all other devices, and tell the bioses that the disks have exactly the same geometry, and arrange the bios boot orders to be exactly the same on both machines, then you would get a booting disk. OK? But nobody has ever seen two machines built more than two weeks apart that are exactly the same. Peter |
