You seemed to have got involved in a flame war which as far as
I can see is entirely beside the point. I don't know exactly
why you are having a problem, but it is fairly simple to
arrange for arbitrary users to mount CDs, and large numbers
of people do exactly that. I have been doing it with releases
of RH going back to 4.2. Under RH6.0, each time I create a new
user, that user automatically has icons for the floppy and the
CD on his/her gnome desktop, and one can mount it by right
clicking on the mount option or just left double clicking on
the icon, which also brings up a file manager for the directory.
Anyway, here is my /etc/fstab (on one of three machines I've
set up with this capability).
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide,exec 0
0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0
I didn't do these manually but used linuxconf. I don't see why
your entry won't work.
Have you rebooted---although that shouldn't make any difference?
It is not unusual with any OS to find that something which by all
rights should work doesn't. I find this happens much more often
with Windows, and there it is usually impossible to find out why.

You got several replies but in total they were a bit incoherent,
so let me try to go over some relevant points. I hope I
don't confuse you more.
1. Lilo can boot NT, but it has to be done in exactly the right
way or you have to be lucky. I don't know why you got an error
message during installation. See below for details.
2. If you put lilo in the master boot record, which is the default
choice, there is a good chance you made it impossible to boot
NT. I've seen machines with NT/Linux with lilo in the MBR which
worked fine---and one of the responses to your question had a
lilo.conf file doing exactly that---but every time I've tried
it, NT had indigestion. I would not put lilo in the MBR if
I were running NT. If you in fact did that, however, all is
not lost. Somewhere on the NT boot floppy or NT CD you should
find the NT fdisk. If you can put it on a bootable floppy,
even a DOS floppy, then executing the command
fdisk/mbr
from the floppy should restore the master boot record. After
this NT should boot by default, but you won't be able to boot
Linux from the disk. If you made a boot floppy for Linux,
you can boot Linux using that and proceed.
3. Once you have restored the MBR and can boot NT, you can
arrange to have the NT boot loader boot both NT and Linux.
This is described in the Linux+NT mini HOWTO.
4. If this is all on one disk, the following is simpler I
believe. First, boot using your boot floppy, and configure
lilo.conf so that the first line
boot=...
puts lilo in the first sector of the root partition or
if separate the boot partition. Here's an example of what
lilo.conf might look like
boot=/dev/hda2
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
other=/dev/sda1
label=nt
table=/dev/sda
Run lilo.
But lilo still won't be able to boot
because the first partition is the active partition. (When the BIOS
starts booting it looks in the MBR to see which partition
is active and goes there. So it will never get where lilo
is.) You can change this by running fdisk and toggling the
statuses of the partitions so the first partition
is no longer active and
the partition where you put lilo is active. I
don't remember if you can do this while Linux
is running from one of those partitions. If not proceed
as below.
Use your Linux boot floppy and rescue mode floppy
(if you've created them). Note it could take a very long
time to boot from the boot floppy. Alternately just boot
the Linux installation floppy, do a custom install and get to the
part where you can partition by running fdisk. Either
way run fdisk and just toggle the active partition as
described above. Now you should be able to boot both
Linux and NT.

I've only glanced at your posting, but I think there is a good
chance you have some loose cables somewhere. One sometimes
dislodges things when fiddling inside a computer. Try reseating
everything in site, particularly cables going to your hard drive
and the corresponding controllers.

The default choice should be fips (or actually fips2 for
a FAT32 file system). But one may encounter problems with
fips if the Windows partition cannot be defragged because
it has sectors in use at the end of the partition which cannot
be moved. I am told that one can use the Windows Attrib
command to mark these as unhidden and then defrag them.
But they are presumably put there by the vendor for some
reason, so it is possible you could have trouble with Windows.
I believe fips is supposed to be smart enough to give up
if it finds it can't resize the partition. Fips does not
claim to move data, only to resize the partition. Study the
documentation carefully. Note that you should be able to
tell if there are unmoved sectors if you show details while
defragging.
Partition Magic is supposedly capable of moving data when
it resizes. I've used Partition Magic successfully, most
recently on a Dell Inspiron which did have sectors
at the end of the Windows partition which could not be moved
by defrag. But it can be a bit tricky to use because you
have to resize the partition in which Partition Magic is
installed. It does this by setting things up and then going
to DOS. So make sure you study the documentation and
know exactly what to expect.
On another machine, I had an awful time getting it
to work---possibly because a BIOS setting was wrong---and I
finally gave up and used fips which worked perfectly.
If you buy Parition Magic, you also get Boot Magic which
give you an alternate boot loader.

First the stuff about the compress modules is almost certainly
irrelevant. I started getting that under RH6.0, but it
doesn't seem to affect my connection.
The remaining messages suggest some problem with the conversation
between your chat script and the ISP. It looks as if the ISP
is not getting what it expects and is cutting you off.

I hadn't either prior to "upgrading" from RedHat 5.2 to Mandrake 6.0.
Since then my system has had the power cut out from under it on four
separate occasions by the local utility putzing around. On rebooting,
in every case, the init scripts forced me to give the root password in
order to run fsck manually because the fsck run by the init scripts
found errors it didn't seem to know what to do with. The other option
it gives you is to hit CTRL-D to continue booting normally but if you
do that it shuts down and reboots; which eventually brings you back to
the same situation. I don't recall this ever happening on this machine
under RedHat 5.2 (or 5.0, for that matter), although I did experience
occasional power interruptions during that period also.
I would greatly appreciate any help (even RTFM help) anybody could give
me on this. I'm not sure where in the init process fsck gets run or if
there are options I could feed it to make it act more like it did in
previous versions of RedHat.
Thanks in advance,
Carl

Must be broken in Debian-2.1 There's no manpage for ksymoops,
nor was it installed with the development station profile.
Moving System.map into the places mentioned in ps(1) has no effect on
ps(1) output, WCHAN is always in hex.
I guess this stuff will get cleaned up eventually.
It's not mentioned in top(1), which used to talk about it pre-1993
when it had to rummage in /dev/kmem.
I've never had a kernel oops, so never needed this stuff.

I have a card with OPTi 924 myself. The part was called
Typhoon or similar. I was told that the chip not really
produces sound. This is done by a CODEC chip, in my case
a cs4341a chip. If your CODEC is not this CODEC, the
following might be not the solution for your problem.
I had the same problems some time ago
but i got help in a linux newsgroup. The trouble is that
the PnP part of the soundcard is buggy. You will not get
it to work with PnP, it crashes ICU under DOS and other
nice things.
The solution for myself was (for some time) to load the non-PnP driver
under DOS and to boot into linux using
loadlin. Then the sb driver works with the dos settings.
The solution found over this newsgroup is more
satisfying:
1. Disable the PnP part of the soundcard
Put the following into isapnp.conf in your /etc directory
# Put OPTI 924 + CS4341a card into non-PNP mode
(VERIFYLD N)
(CSN 1 (LD 0 (REG 2 (POKE 4))))
The CSN probably depends on the slot, so do a pnpdump
first to determine the CSN. If isapnp is not used during
startup, execute isapnp isapnp.conf manually.
2 use mad16 sound module.
example modules conf:
alias char-major-14 mad16
options sb mad16=1
options mad16 io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 dma16=1 mpu_io=0x330 debug=1
mpu_irq=9

Subject: nfs problems under RH6
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 22:57:36 -0600
NFS worked in RH6.0 out of the box just fine. However, when I compiled
2.2.10 (and 2.2.9, 2.2.8, and 2.2.5) when it tried to run rpc.nfsd i
would get a "nfssvc: Function not implemented" error, which prevented
anybody from mounting my nfs'd dirs.. what am I NOt doing? Is there
something in RH (it works fine in Debian at home) that I need to pay
attention to?
Thanks,
--JM

Looks like you may be timing out? What program are you using to make
the connection. I use diald without problems. I have configured it to
shutdown after 1 hour of idle time.
I can help you with the "can't locate module xxxxxx" complaints.
Add these lines to /etc/conf.modules
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
