Subject: no-lilo problem
Since I don't have any other OS than Linux Slackware running in my
computer, what I want is not to
have lilo at boot up time.
The small partition where DOS resided, I made it the swap partition and
the rest is all Linux.
Using fdisk, I toggled the boot switch in the big partition, now that I
rebooted my machine, I got a
message saying that there was not operating system.
I really don't know what the problem could be, but I want to get rid of
LILO and any other OS, but
LINUX.
Hey!! if you know what I can do to solve this problem, I would
appreciate an email at

Since your Linux root partition (/dev/hda4) extends beyond
the 1024 cylinder boundary, you can't be sure whether the
boot files will be above or below this boundary. If below,
LILO ought to work; if partly or totally above, it won't.

Ah, but if you don't mind paying for it just to see if it works, Open

I hope you don't mind what may be a silly question. Is this a SECOND
hd? Your message implies that, but doesn't say it. Also, did you put
it on the same IDE connector as your current HD? If so, did you remember
to set the jumper on the this HD (the new one) as SLAVE? I'm not sure
what would happen if you have two masters on one IDE connector. But I
would guess that it would be BAD! Also, if this is your setup, double
check the documentation on your first HD. Some HDs have three settings:
1) Single or Master with no Slave - this means that this is the only
drive on the IDE connector
2) Master or Master with Slave - this means that this HD is the master
drive (/dev/hda). Master with slave means the same but tells the HD
that there is a slave drive. Not all HDs have this. The more recent
ones that I've looked at only say Master.
3) Slave - This means that the HD is the slave (/dev/hdb).
Perhaps this is your problem. If not, I wish you luck and hope somebody
else comes up with a better suggestion.

Clock skew is an ugly result of the /etc/adjtime file comparing time
with the hardware clock and software clock. I had that problem on
slackware 3.9. How did I fix it? EASY I ripped out hwclock and
replaced it with the older clock program. Never had a problem again.
What adjtime is supposed to do is find out how much time
veries between software and hardware clock. you are supposed to run
hwclock -update to update the clock or something like that ever 10
days. My expirence with clock skew first happened when I forgot my
bios is set to UtC and my hwclock driver was expecting my bios to be
set to EASTERN Standard. Yep, 5 (or was it 4?) hours difference. when
I realized the wrong clock time... I already did make dep on the
kernel. tried to use Hwclock to set everything to the right time for
the software clock. got so ^#^@#^@#^@# frustrated that I ripped
hwclock out. as it looked to be a real PITA! of running -adjust every
10 days!
BTW. hwclock was not the true culprit. although being my
system originally used /bin/clock and hwclock was not ALIASED to clock
my rc.S file (one from Slacware 3.9 fired up hwclock without setting
the -utc flag (GRRRRRRR) Had to scrap my kernel source and reinstall
from linux2.0.7pre10.tgz! GRRRRRR! (danger! red head starting to
simmer *( )
Speaking of hwclock vs Clock. what is the REAL benifit of this
program? I always felt the older one was more maintence free in the
first place (hint keep /sbin/clock around it does not need the
adjustime file)

Any help in http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/irq-conflict.html ?
[...]
The solutions
If the card is reporting IRQ0 or IRQ255, that indicates the
card has not been assigned an interrupt. There are two
likely fixes: either the BIOS does not have enough IRQ
lines available for PCI devices (e.g. all are assigned to
"legacy" ISA devices instead of "PnP"), or the BIOS has a
"PnP OS" setting that must be disabled. Yes, this is
confusing: the "PnP OS" setting is bad (it really means
"Windows OS?"), but the PnP IRQ assignment is good.
If the card is reporting a valid IRQ, but that IRQ is being
used by another device you have an interrupt conflict. The
easiest and generally best solution is to put the
conflicting device on another IRQ line. This can only be
done through the PCI BIOS setup. Unlike ISA cards, PCI
cards have no way of setting their own IRQ. That is done
at boot time by the PCI BIOS, and the BIOS reports its
selection

Look into the 3c59x.c for your nic. Something like

PCI_USES_IO|PCI_USES_MASTER, IS_CYCLONE, 128, vortex_probe1},
(It would not help you if i compiled the driver. I guess that part is
done well if no errormessage. So i guess it is a pci-irq-matter.)

As far as I know, all sorts of ISA modems are still readily available. It

Lilo is the LInux LOader -- hence the name.
A computer's BIOS is just smart enough to go to the very beginning of the
first active partition it finds and load the very first few bytes of code it
finds there into memory and execute it. That small scrap of code is enough
smarter that it can load more information into memory and execute it, and that
second piece of code can then load a kernel into memory and execute it -- and
the kernel takes over from there. As you can see, starting a computer from
cold requires three things: an active partition, a kernel loader and a kernel.
Right now you're missing two.
There is an alternate boot loader called "grub". I don't know more than the
name. You might find some information on it on freshmeat.

I am starting to research components for a PC that I will
use for the Internet and office suite applications. How much
of a video card do I need for the Internet? I want to be
able to do anything that is available. I would like to be
able to watch the latest Britney Spears video and whatever
other movies or applications that are available. I also will
be doing some web design, with all the latest technologies
of course.
I am interested in the ATI All-in-Wonder video cards. I like
the extra features this card gives. This card does not seem
to rate too highly for 3D gaming. Since I do not plan to
play 3D games will this be a problem?
Do I need a video card with 32 mb of ram? If I get a card
with 32 mb of ram will the extra memory go to waste?
Also, I would like to eventually be running Linux. Right
away I would run Windows 98 or NT. Maybe Windows 2000 by the
time this get built. What is a good/best card for Linux?
In conclusion, do I need to worry about memory and 3D
performance? What are the minimums that you would recommend.
Are most of the video cards compatible with Linux?
Thanks,

My first master IDE channel is a hard disk drive,
first slave IDE channel is a CD-ROM drive,
second master IDE is Imation LS-120 drive
no second slave IDE
I'm running on a FIC mother board - Pentium 233 MMX with 64 Meg Memory.
When I boot it (SUSE-6.1 boot disk, 1.44 Meg) I don't have any problem.
The only problem is I cannot cp my newly compiled kernel to the LS-120
drive (not LS-120 disk, just a 1.44 Meg like the boot disk). I cannot
do anything to it.
I appreciate if somebody can help.
