Subject: Can't ping my Gateway (but I can ping my own IP address)
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 03:29:29 GMT
I just got a Palm Pilot ... So I had to free up a serial port ... so I had
to move my mouse to the PS/2 port ... so my IRQ's all changed (the ethernet
card was IRQ 12 which the PS/2 port takes).
All is well in windoze after some effort.
However, in Linux (Redhat 5.1 (2.0.34) which formerly worked fine), I had to
reconfigure the mouse, the ethernet card's (Intel ISA EtherExpress PRO/10+)
kernel options and also had to redo the /etc/isapnp.conf for the sound card.
I have the mouse and the sound card working, but the network is acting odd.
Before the reconfigure, if I tried to ping my own IP address, it gave me a
host unreachable error - that made sense. After I reconfigured, it worked.
But I cannot ping my Gateway. The addresses are fine from windows
comparison, so I figure that I must be missing some edit in some file
somewhere.
Any ideas?
By the way, the Intel card is a Plug and Play card, but that capability has
been turned off ( as it was before when everything worked).
I have attached some of the configuration files ...
Cheers,
Gary Spivey

Your mouse must have a fairly weak wheel button spring - I can easily spin
the wheel on mine (MS Intellimouse PS/2) without actuating the button.
Have you looked inside to see if you can adjust the pressure or the throw?
Somewhere in the documentation for imwheel or in one of the HOWTOs
is the instructions on remapping the mouse buttons. If you want to use
the wheel as-is, you'll have to figure out how to remap button 2, the wheel
button, to some null action. The wheel itself looks like buttons 4 and 5.

Both the Redhat 5.2 CD and Cheapbytes Redhat CD are both bootable. This is
much faster than using a boot disk.
Of course your BIOS must support bootable CD and you must have your boot
order to have CD boot first.

Xig is adding hardware accelleration to their OpenGL implementation, but
it's still in beta. There is another company that has OpenGL driver for
a few higher end OpenGL cards, but I can't recall the name off the top
of my head. I think if you follow some of the links from the Mesa 3D

hi,
what do you mean kernel loads the card?
what's the result when you run: lsmod? and, have you tried to look at the
result of
cat /dev/sndstat ?
With all the information above, possibly I can help.

Is sound support compiled into (or as a module) the kernel? Also get a

Subject: Linux 2.2.1, Sysklogd 1.3-3, APMD problem
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 16:23:53 -0500
Hello,
I have a Toshiba 4025CDT laptop running Linux 2.2.1, and I just upgraded
sysklogd to 1.3-3 and apmd to 3.0beta5. There is a problem. Here are
the messages from /usr/adm/messages:
<machine> syslogd: 1.3-3: restart.
<machine> kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
<machine> kernel: Loaded 5929 symbols from /System.map.
<machine> kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.1.
<machine> kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem
<machine> kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry.
The last two lines are issued by ksym_mod.c from the source directory
for sysklogd.
Another symptom of the problem is that poweroff (or halt -p) does
not work. The system comes down but the machine is not powered off (I
believe that this has something to do with sysklogd).
Before upgrading the laptop to Linux 2.2.1 it was running Slackware 3.6,
or Linux 2.0.35, and the shutdown/poweroff functionality worked fine.
Also, there were no error messages about seeking in /dev/kmem.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
Thanks,
Dominick
