Subject: kernel 2.2.5 question
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 08:12:56 -0600
Howdy all. We're using an older kernel for use on a trafic link box
which captures traffic images and then converts them into .jpg images
for display on our web site. We're using a customized 2.2.5 kernel which
only supports the metoer module required to run our video capture card.
However, every evening it crashes. This is the error message I get in
/var/log/messages
Jun 26 16:10:02 cam kernel: VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached
Jun 26 16:10:10 cam kernel: Unable to load interpreter
Jun 26 16:12:00 cam kernel: Unable to load interpreter
Jun 27 04:02:00 cam last message repeated 2 times
This is the last message I get before it crashes totally. I have tried
recompiling the kernel is adjust for this option, but can't seem to find
anything that might be causing this. If anyone has any suggestions, I
would be more than happy to hear them. I need to make this box more
stable. Thanks.
KJ

Something is opening a lot of files and not closing them. Perhaps your
image conversion script is not exiting properly?

Subject: kernels modules not loading automatically after kernel upgrade
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 14:33:10 GMT
hello,
i recently upgraded the kernel on a dell poweredge 4400 running redhat
6.2. stock it came with 2.2.14-5 with several loadable kernel
modules. i compiled 2.2.16 (with the same kernel modules) on the box
yesterday.
the problem is that none of the modules are loaded automatically upon
boot any longer. i can load them fine manually (and they are in fact
loading from the proper directory for the kernel), but they won't get
loaded upon boot. obviously, this causes problems.
depmod doesn't report any errors when run.
any hints or suggestions?
thanks,
blair christensen

hi i have a lot of pb with the use of sane.
I'm using mandrake 7.0 and it installed sane.
I have a scanner : hp scanjet 4p.
When i type 'scanimage -d hp:/dev/sga ' it tells me that there is an error with
the argument. I tried 'find-scanner -v' but it fails openning all the sgx.
i tried 'insmod' with the module sym53c..... and so on but it tells me that the

It might help if you download the latest pcmcia cardservices source. Go
to http://pcmcia.sourceforge.org/ for info and the source. Then follow
the instruction to compile and install it. Restart pcmcia and see if it
helps. I don't know what version mandrake uses, but it's a revised
redhat, so it will probably be version 3.1.8. They are now currently at
3.1.17.
I had the same problem when I installed redhat 6.0 six months ago. It
was simply the fact that that version of pcmcia had no support for my
cards. Installed a new version and everything worked.

Subject: Rebuilt kernel, can't find DAC960 module
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 15:34:18 GMT
Hi all,
I have a PII SMP system running RedHat 6.2. I have two logical drives
created from a Mylex DAC960 controller.
The RedHat install recognised the controller, and I'm actually booting
from the logical drive. I assume this is handled by the kernel loading
a ramdisk to hold the appropriate modules (that initrd= line in lilo,
right?), which mount the appropriate filesystems, and everything is go.
I want to rebuild my kernel now, but I'm confused on some points.
First, can't I include the DAC960 module directly into the kernel so I
don't have to use a ramdisk? I can't find the DAC960 listed in
menuconfig's SCSI drivers section.
Also, I've read the how-to about kernel rebuilds, but it doesn't mention
"make modules" and "make modules_install", but other people say they're
needed. Do I need these steps? What are they for?
When I do the build, I get errors like "Kernel Panic, CRC error" or
"Cannot load DAC960.o". Why can't my new kernel find that module? Any
suggestions?

I run Matlab version 5.3 on Linux. The number key pad does not seem to

If the NumLock is on,
Key pressed Result

Subject: Re: Linux Hangs (freeze) HELP.
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 11:55:18 -0400
Rafael,
You most likely have a problem in either the motherboard or power supply.
It may even be a bios setting in the motherboard. Your best solution at
this point is to try substituting a different power supply or motherboard.
Borrow one if you have to.
Power supplies sense the current being drawn by your hardware. The power
supply outputs four voltages: +5V, -5V, +12V, and -12V, but the bulk of the
power is in the +5V and +12V lines. Where are you measuring 44 watts and
with what equipment?
If you increase the CPU voltage, the CPU will typically draw more power.
This will translate into more current being drawn from the power supply,
depending on the regulators used on the motherboard. But it is only a small
difference. If that small of a difference causes the power supply to become
unstable, I would replace it! Perhaps you could confirm this by adding a
20W dummy load to your power supply +5V line and see if the system remains
stable.
However, the problem with the reset switch seems to point to the
motherboard. Resets are hardware signals that force all the hardware into a
known state. If some device will not reset, it has failed and must be
replaced. The same reset you get by pushing the reset button is also
automatically done everytime at powerup. It is essential to have all the
hardware reset to a known state in order to be able to set it up correctly.

Subject: Install redhat on SUN Ultra 1 help requested
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 16:30:04 GMT
Hi,
I seem to be stuck in getting Linux on the SUN ultra 1. According to SUN
(and redhat) it should be compatible, and I've downloaded the image and
wiritten to cd. I also attached a floppy disk as it looks like I'm going
to need it.
When starting up I let the machine pass the normal boot procedure and let
it boot from cd.......without success; it simply will not accept the cd as
boot device, or the files on the disk (can be viewed but that is it).
Altough there is a lot of info I can not seem to find out the things I
need to do to get a normal installation. Hardware should be ok, software
should be ok, so am I ok ????? Do I need to build a new kernel on the
SUN???
I want to have this installed as I do not have any experience on
unix/linux and see this as a learning thing. However in the end the
machine will have to run apache and some other nice stuff, but before that
I'll need to get a proper bassis.
Who can help ???
thanks
Bart

Then you should just be able to click the "start interface at boot
