Hi Folks,
I'm looking at doing shared memory stuff on Linux and it doesn't seem
to support POSIX shared memory. Is there any effort towards
implementing that or am i stuck with mmap?

How are you using fdisk?
How are you calling mount?
If you have any fstab entries for the drive, please post that.
The Iomega zip drives actually show up as the last partition on the drive. I don't
know why.
In your case, you'd probably find it at
/dev/hdd4

Subject: failed gcc build
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 14:28:58 GMT
Has anyone managed to bootstrap gcc or egcs under 2.2.1? I have a RedHat
5.1 system that has recently been upgraded to kernel 2.2.1. I had
problems compiling some other compilers so I decided to bootstrap egcs and
then when that failed I tried gcc instead. They both crash because of a
missing file xgcc. I could find no reference to this in the INSTALL file.
I assumed this should point to the current C compiler - i.e. a starting
point to bootstrap from. Hence I did a clean and then set xgcc to point
to my current egcs installation. This gave a Signal 11: Internal compiler
error both with egcs and gcc. This is not a hardware error - I've tried
it on several machines with the same setup and specification.
Any ideas? Am I doing this correctly?
Thanks,

Ahh this is awful..hehe....I'm surprised there aren't any responses after
it yet, maybe my news server is slow. :^)
I'd think in most countries people have a right to do whatever they like
and practice whatever religion they want to follow without having
strangers tell them they're not allowed. I apologize if I have offended
citizens of countries run by a ruthless totalitarian regime...
Anyway, is any of this really appropriate to the newsgroups we're in? I
mean, even a platform war debating the comparative merits of the
Macintosh, Linux, Amiga, and Underwear...would be more on topic. Is this
how far we've fallen?!

Subject: scsiinfo: defective list not more than 512 entries
Date: 24 Feb 1999 00:23:36 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have scsiinfo 1.7.
With the option -d (show defective list) the program shows two lists
with defective sectors of a SCSI hard disk (manufacturer defective list
and grown defective list).
Allthough the program shows the number of entries, it lists only the
first 512 entries of either list.
I studied the source of scsiinfo.c and found the location of the list
printing. Nevertheless I'm not familiar with SCSI commands and I don't
know how to get the next 512 entries (in case there are more than 512
entries).
In addition I searched for a newer version of scsiinfo, but I only found
version 1.7 or older.
Can anybody help? I want all (more than the first 512 entries of a
defective list) entries.
TIA.

Hum, very strange. At the moment I'm building my own system and I didn't
have any problems compiling ncurses4.2.
I have exactly the same system as you describe, but also nothing more!
(I started the devellopment in an empty /chroot tree.)
So perhaps you have to upgrade your sed and/or gawk? Or are there
wrong include files included?
I have sed-3.02 and gawk-3.0.3.
Good luck,

Hello,
I'm experiencing strange things on my RH5.2 system with new kernels:
Sometimes, when i try to logout (either from local console or SSH),
i get message "this is not a login shell, use exit" (which is obviously
not true).
Then, when i type "exit", my terminal gets flooded with lots of garbage
and local terminal
hangs...
Does anyone know about this? Any solutions? I'm a quite fresh linuxian

Look for "Portslave" or the "Linux Router Project" on the web.
We used portslave for about two years here with great success
(finally switched because we got rid of our analog modems).

What happens is that some egcs snapshots do not inline some functions, but
the kernel (wrongly!) assumes that if you "extern inline" something, it will
be inlined allways, and does not provide the mandatory out-of-line version
anywhere.
Latest egcs snapshot (19990214) works again, but networking breaks big
time: 'ping localhost' gets just one answer back (2.2.1-ac6, egcs-19990214).

This is a good idea anyway, some previous reports were due to a *.c file
being replaced by a *.s equivalent, patch(1) left an empy *.c file around,
which make preferred over the *.s for generating the *.o. New versions of
patch(1) do not show this behaviour, BTW.

I just compiled kernel 2.2.2 and am very pleased with it, except that the
sound problems in the MAD16 code that I mentioned a while ago are still
persistent. Timidity still wants to play sounds at 4 times their normal
speed, though this only happens when you do it under ump in netscape. My
audio experiences are also still peppered with annoying pops and clicks,
especially when I start X or a graphics intensive program, or start a MIDI,
MP3, or WAVE player.
If anyone has any idea as to how to fix this, please don't hesitate to let me
know. Thank you.

My understanding is that in the real world people will send you files
in Office 97 format which you are expected to be able to read. I know

Hmmmmmm. I remember this problem from a *long* time ago (BTW, you're
in the wrong newsgroup - try comp.os.linux.[answers|networking] next
time).
Check your modem speed - in particular, make sure it isn't changing
the serial port speed down to the connection speed. Make sure your
modem isn't using ^S/^Q flow control, or if it is and you can't change
it, use the asyncmap option (see man pppd) to escape the flow control
chars.
Finally, whack the debugging level on pppd right up, and have another
look at the logfile - you might get more clues.
Oh: one last thing. Make sure you haven't got an interrupt conflict on
your serial port. That can cause some decidedly weird behaviour.
