Using RPM to install kernel-source. Error message returned

The file "kernel-headers 2.2.5-15" is on the CDROM in the same

Redhat does not list the problem nor a fix.
Any help is appreciated.

ok... I really don't trust Compaq, but then again I HAVE only used
it in
conjunction with Windoze, and I abhore their prices.. but I guess it
couldn't hurt since I've seen so many people respond with favorable
comments about their portable line.
And the Athlons only run 1/2- 1/3?! Everything I'd ever read or
heard
was that among better and faster overall architecture, they kept
outrunning the PIIIs by going full, while the PIII was lucky to make
1/2.
now I'm REALLY impressed...
Where can I find a smp thunderbird or duron motherboard?! :-)

Hi,
I just got a Dell Pentium III T700r with 30G (7200 rpm), ATA 66
controller.
The RedHat 6.2 installation procedure says:
fdisk /dev/hda cannot be opened.
So it will not proceed. I have never seen this before. Any ideas?
Thanks,

su - root
works, on many systems I've used, setting things as per a standard
root

But, this is what ssh and such were designed for anyway ;0).

Subject: RedHat 6.2 remote access problems
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:19 GMT
From: Eric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I custom installed RH 6.2, installing all included packages. I'm
running
ftp, telnet, smtp, http, and pop-3. I can access my computer remotely
on
all
of these ports. Until a remote-session times out.
I am accessing my computer remotely, from my other Win 95 computer
downstairs.
I don't have my two local computers connected via the local net, so
I'm
accessing
my Linux box via the internet. If I'm in an active telnet session,
and I
walk away
from the computer for a minute or two, the telnet session on my Win
95
box
freezes. After that, I cannot get back into my Linux box, regardless
of
which port I try. I walk upstairs to the Linux box, kill the remote
bash
session,
and all appears well. Until I try to connect remotely again. No
telnet,
no ftp,
no http, etc.
Having exhausted all other routes, the only way I can successfully
log
into my
Linux box from the internet is to reboot the Linux machine. I know
that
it is the
Linux box, because even after the remote telnet sessions freeze up on
my
Windows 95 box, I can still use Win 95 to telnet to other computers
--
indicating it's not theWin 95 telnet program causing the problem.
Please tell me what else I can do.
Thanks,
Eric

If you use the "su - [username]" syntax, su will start the
session with [username]'s environment. If you just use "su -" su
will assume the username is "root," prompt you for the root
password and then start a session with root's environment. It
does this because the "-" switch tells su to start a "login"
shell for the session, which of course runs the standard login
scripts to set up the environment. From "man su:"
-, -l, --login
make the shell a login shell

Subject: apache and DNS on same machine
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:18 GMT
From: rickh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have a test setup in my office on which I am running Caldera's 2.3
openlinux. In addition I have the appache web server loaded and the
Bind/dns module (named) running. This system is connected to a hub
that
also has a win98 workstation connected to it. I think I have the
named
modules configured properly on the Linux box as I can run nslookup on
the box and get an appropriate reply. Here is my problem(s).
If I try to access the appache index.html page by entering
Linux.test.com (domain and server name of test box) into the location
box of the netscape browser on the work station, the browser will
time
out with the server not found error. I can enter nslookup at the
server
console and it will respond with the IP address as it should. If I
enter the IP address of the server into the location box on the work
station, I will get the server not available error but when I click
the
OK box on the error, it will load apache index.html page as it
should.
If it try to run a cgi script -- http://192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/rpm_query
--
this is a known good script, I will get the server not available
error.
I have checked the servername entry in the httpd.conf(?) and it is
correct, the scriptaliase lines in the config files are right, the
windows 98 resolver for tcp/ip is setup correctly -- I think. I am at
a
lose here. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

I am watching with interest the RedHat SCSI problems. This is
the 3 case posted and I too have a problem.
I saw your posts about the problems you were having. I am
experiencing a similar thing.
Have you had any success? If you figure it out please let me
know how and if i should figure it out I'll let you know.
I am running:
RedHat 6.1 standard kernel (using modules)
Adaptec 1542cf disk -- adapter -- tape -- tape
like you I am not booting from the disk.
I read all of the responses to your post, checked everything
over and when I use "modprobe aha1542" I had the same time
consuming initialization that fails. "lsmod" show that the
module fails to initialize.

I verified XFree86, here's the output:
SM5....T /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir
I also verified gdm, nothing was output (I guess it's fine).
Now my run level is set at 3 because I did not want to have X
automatically
started.
I also checked inittab, the last several lines are:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# xdm is now a separate service
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
Do you think there's something wrong with that?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I have also seen this while updating some packages. I based off

via
rpm -i and got "FAT bread failed".
Are you using a laptop, by chance? If so, have you exchanged your bay

Was the Linux CD-ROM mounted in /mnt/cdrom? If not, that could
explain the
NFS mount error. An fstype problem perhaps?
If it was mounted properly, you might post your /etc/exports,
/etc/fstab
entries related to the CDROM.
And, if you ever change /etc/exports, you always have to follow that
with:
killall -HUP rpc.mountd
killall -HUP rpc.nfsd

OK, it's installed, but how to get it to work? I've tried everything.
I'm at
work on an NT4 ethernet. I have a second desktop machine running
Readhat 6.2
as a proof of concept to start replacing
windows with Linux. I need to get SAMBA working. I tried commands
like
these, as well as all the permutations, (10.2.1.135 is my NT4 machine
on our
DHCP ethernet, shared is the name of the share I
created on it to share to Linux, /root/dchaplin is the directory I
created
in Linux to map the NT share to):
smbmount -I //10.2.1.135/shared/ /root/dchaplin
smbclient //10.2.1.135/shared/ -U danc -I 10.2.1.135 -N
can anyone steer me to a simple fool-proof guide to set up SAMBA so I
can
access my NT4 workstation through the ethernet with my REDHAT BOX ON
THE SAME
ETHERNET?

Subject: modem help needed by newbie!

My modem used to work on LM 6 but now on LM 7 nothing I do seems to
work.
I've tried the setserial command, and also setting the irq to
autoconfig but
can't get anything out of it. On windows my modem is com3 irq 5. It
is not
a "winmodem". Does anyone have any ideas please?

Subject: NFS and mounting

I have a CD-ROM drive that is part of my Linux box. I want to install
software on my SGI machine using the CD-ROM that is a part of the
Linux
box. So I thought I could edit the /etc/exports file and the
hosts.allow
file on the Linux box and then edit the fstab file on the SGI. Well,
I
did
that and I got this error when I tried to mount:
# mount -a
mount: chum.seas.ucla.edu:/mnt/cdrom server not responding: Program
not
registered
NFS version 3 mount failed, trying NFS version 2
And it never worked. So I thought I needed to start the daemons. So
on
the
Linux box I typed:
# rpc.nfsd
# rpc.mountd
So now when I tried to mount I got this:
# mount -a
mount: chum.seas.ucla.edu:/mnt/cdrom on /cdrom: Unknown error
mount: giving up on:
/cdrom
Anyone know what might be wrong? I really need this to work since I
must
install the software ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Taison

Subject: RH5.2 won't mount RH6.1 file system
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:19 GMT
From: "mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Error is "Can't mount RDWR because of unsupported optional features."
mount: wront fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/foo,
or too many mounted file systems.
I mount RO and everthing seems fine.
I had this great idea to copy stuff from system running RH5.2 to a RH
6.1
formatted disk.
Is there a way to get by this?
Thanks

Subject: Setting up Personal LAN through TCP/IP on Internet

Hi Tom,
this sounds like a microsoft-problem to me.
The whole network neighbourhood-stuff relies on a
Master-browser-computer. In a workgroup environment, this is the
computer that was first powered on / in an NT-environment, this
probably is the Primary Domain Controller. Other computers tell the
master-browser that they are online, and contact the master-browser
to
see of there 'fellows' are online. This mechanisme has timeouts of
about 15 minutes (or more if the master-browser goes down).
If I remember well, the looking-for-masterbrowsers mechanisme uses
broadcasts, which are not routed by your linux-router. And that's
your
problem.
You can use : Start | Run | '\\192.168.1.1\sharename'
if you know the remote-pc's ip (notice this works fine on NT but not
always on win9x)
Even better : create a lmhosts-file with the computername - ipnumber
relationship and use : start| run| \\computername\share' (this works
fine on win9x to)
If you really need to use dynamic ip's ; I'm afraid that M$ forces
you
to install a WINS-server (this one takes over the master-browser
job).
All clients (locale & remote) should point to this server as there
wins-server and notify it when the power-on/down. The others can
then
contact the wins-server to see if their colleges are 'alive'.
Hope this helps you out (a bit) ;-)
BTW : I'm on the other end of the problem. My M$-environment is
working (fine), but I would like to setup the VPN-connection using a
linux-router. Can you point me to the right documentation that
helped
you to configure it ? Thanx in advance !
Koen.
