I have this problem on my laptop when it goes to sleep like that and when I
switch from X to a console. The best I have been able to figure is that it
has something to do with resyncing the LCD after it has been switched e.g.
blanked. My only work around has been to just get out of X when Im not at
the machine and to disable console blanking for my terminals. Good Luck

Subject: Booting to /dev/sda2
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 03:15:08 GMT
Guys,
I've seen many posts regarding booting with LILO and only getting 'LI'.
Well, I've tried all the suggestions I've seen with no luck. Here's my
setup:
/dev/hda1 = NTFS
/dev/hda2 = WIN98
/dev/sda2 = Linux
/dev/hda1 and /dev/sda2 both have the boot flag set. I am
running bootpart for the NT OS Loader (to get Win98 bootable) and am
also using it to boot to Linux. This is where the weird stuff comes in.
First, let me say that I have /etc/lilo.conf set up very simply. No
linear/disk/bios options. boot and root are both set to /dev/sda2.
Here's what happens. When I change my BIOS to boot to the SCSI disk
first, I get the full 'LILO'. I can hit the shift key and see my
kernel, but when I press return, I get "Unexpected EOF" scrolling down
my screen. (Hmm.) When I tell my BIOS to boot to IDE-0 (/dev/hda), I
get only 'LI' and nothing else.
I've tried adding disk and bios options with no luck. I'm gathering you
can't just put anything in for bios. How do you determine what value
goes in there. I have 3 IDE disks and 1 SCSI disk, so, being the 4th
drive in the system, should I say 'bios=0x83'?
Even when I use /dev/hda (the MBR), I only get 'LI'. So, to me, it
seems that the problem is when LILO attempts to get secondary boot
information (if that's the correct terminology).
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

There's always brute force ... grab the source for your telnetd, grep
through it all for the "Login incorrect" string, and get rid of it.
I hope someone can think of something more elegant, though.

To all who use debian:
I've pretty much used redhat-based systems and I'm pretty familiar
with rpm and so on. Basically I want to know about dpkg and apt-get
and options like apt-get upgrade and apt-get distupdate/disupgrade ...
I'm not sure of the exact command.
I've read up on these commands and It seems that these make a system
easy to maintain and upgrade.... and I mean the whole system. If this
is the case, I'm truly interested in trying debian out. I'm familiar
with unix so I'm not shy about trying new things.
Basically I want a rundown from you debian types about the advantages
and uniqueness of the debian package system (apt-get, dpkg,
distupgrade etc...) so that I can make an informed decision. I've
read the websites... I've read the technical manuals and I'm more
interested in your opinions, not links to how-to sites.
Thanks

No. I don't need any prasing programme, or any diagram to tell me who I am. You

<snip>
You probably don't want to do this in the normal boot level
particularly if you get lots of email or other transitory
data. Instead...
The safe way to do this would be to boot into single mode, format the
new var partition, copy the data over (perhaps cp -aR) then modify
fstab to add the additional partition, rename the old var directory
and finally reboot.

Just a thought, when I went to booting from scsi I turned off all ide drives
in the bios, ie the bios thinks it has no ide drives, linux does not need
the bios to find ide drives. I did this so that I did not need to alter
lilo. It might be worth a try for you. NOTE: all my drives , 2 ide, 1 scsi
were extfs2 systems.

Subject: kernel 2.2.16-3 'make bzImage' compile error in
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 06:09:43 GMT
I am running Redhat 6.2 linux (kernel 2.2.14) and encountered a problem
while trying to patch it to 2.2.16-3,
following instructions at
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2000-037-05.html and
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-upgrade/.
First I updated RPM itself as instructed on the Redhat site via:
rpm -Fvh rpm-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm
Then I downloaded the RPMs and unpacked them:
rpm -Uvh kernel-headers-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
kernel-source-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm kernel-ibcs-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
Man page conflicts with the previous kernel-pcmcia package required:
rpm -ivh --force kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
Then after 'cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.16' I find:
#make xconfig -- OK
#make dep -- OK
#make clean -- OK
#make bzImage -- *** PROBLEM!!! ***:
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o
scripts/split-include
scripts/split-include.c
In file included from /usr/include/errno.h:36,
from scripts/split-include.c:26:
/usr/include/bits/errno.h:25: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [scripts/split-include] Error 1
Therefore I seem to have the same error reported by H.T. Leung on
linux.sources.kernel.
A solution offered by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"By simply making the symlink from /usr/src/linux-2.2.16 to
/usr/src/linux, you will resolve this."
does not work for me. The RPM source code installation had already
moved the softlink
to point to the new source directory tree, as you can see here:
#ls -l /usr/src
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Aug 13 21:25 linux ->
linux-2.2.16
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 13 21:26 linux-2.2.14
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Aug 13 22:15 linux-2.2.16
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 22 05:04 redhat
but I still get this errno.h compile error.
I suspect that another critical softlink is missing that got zapped
during the process.
Surely other folks have encountered this same problem...
Would someone please kindly post a complete solution for this
compilation error? Thanks.

Some of us *do* try to be helpful, but only find time to participate on
Usenet in spurts. It's unfortunate that helpful responses haven't been
sent your way thusfar, but that can vary depending on the nature of the
question and the number of people who actually know the answer.

I played with SLS Linux 1.01 (which I grabbed from a local BBS) back in
1992 with only a DOS, Windows, Apple DOS/ProDOS, KRONOS, OS2200, MacOS,
and VMS background (none of those are UNIX-like except perhaps DOS if
you want to stretch), and without knowing anyone who knew UNIX.
Of course, I had a BSCS at that point, but not a UNIX background. My
coursework was all done on Sperry/Univac 1100-series big iron or VAXen.

In my opinion, most nontechnical users would be in over their heads at
this point in time if they tried to play with a Linux installation, so
I generally don't recommend it.
You've chosen to swim in deeper waters, which is to your credit, but
there are elements of "learning to swim" that IMO must come from your
own experience, not our hand-holding.
The information is out there. Learn to use DejaNews and other search
engines, please. And have patience -- sooner or later someone will
probably take the time to answer your questions.
I don't permit FAT32 on my home LAN, so I know nothing about it myself.

Are there any good trackers for Linux? By tracker I mean the software
with which you can *create* MOD files (or S3M, XM, etc). DOS examples are
Impulse Tracker and FastTracker.
I believe Impulse Tracker is being ported to Linux, but it's KDE only. I
don't feel like installing KDE just for a tracker.
That in mind, has anyone had any luck getting ImpulseTracker or
FastTracker (or any of the known good trackers for DOS) to work under
DOSemu?
Thanks,
