I pinged a couple of addresses, but I had a strange problem. After a
first successful ping, trying the second address didn't work. Yet,
after a shutdown, the second address worked, and the first one failed.
Strange, huh?

I have been able to ping a couple of addresses successfully. However,
when I stop the ping on the first address, I can't get any response
from a ping on the second address. Yet, when I shut down the
computer and restart, I can ping the second number successfully, and
not the first.
Strange, huh?

I hadn't thought of that. when I built the new kernel, I saved the old module
tree, but didn't get rid of it. So, when I built the new modules, and did the
module_install, all it does is write the new modules, but doesn't get rid of
the old ones. Thats probably it.

I have recently upgraded a redhat system from 2.2.12 to 2.2.16 and can
no longer load the SCSI disk controller card's driver as a module. The
controller has the SCSI boot disk attached (initrd has been created).
The controller card is a NCR53C8XX and works fine when compiled
directly into the kernel.
Any help appreciated.

This is it. ;->
But caution, set it to a Port Adress which the Linux Driver understands,
or set the IO Adress dynamically using modules. (/etc/modules.conf,
insmod 3c50x).
Best way is to set the card to IO=300 Irq x whitout using pnp.
Attention, the driver is not super perfect in media detection,
if using the 3c50xcfg DOS util, you should set the cable type also,
if you have AUI. TP and 10base2 is well recognized, but the driver
fails with auto-recognition of 10Base5 = AUI. Set it, the it works fine.

I have two Linux (RedHat 6.2) machines. One in a new install.
When running a xterm on the new machine and displaying it
remotely to another pressing the backspace key yields "~".
If I use showkey backspace yields "^[[3~"
Using a xterm remotely logged into our other machine works fine.
Backspace works and everything.
How do I configure the new machine to recognize backspace???

Although kfm *is* very configurable, it can be a right bugger to do so at
times.
You need to look in /opt/kde/share/ or ~/.kde/share/ for mimelnk and applnk.
In mimelnk/audio/x-mp3.kdelnk edit the file so that DefaultApp=xmms
Then in applnk/ have a search for xmms.kdelnk (SuSE/Multimedia/Sound on
mine)
Add MimeType=audio/x-mp3
Restart kfm. Hopefully now when you click on an mp3 file it loads xmms (but
I'm not guaranteeing, I've always found mimetype association in kfm to be a
bit hit and miss and *very* hard to fathom out).

Get a nic card. The loopback will not do what you want it to do as it is
not "really" a device. How are you set up point to point? What are you
trying to do with the localhost route? You could add an alias for the
localhost in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost mystery
Remove the second entry for 127.0.0.1 and see what you get.

Subject: cdrom mount problems in Redhat 6.2
From: cowbird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 07:33:33 -0700
One of the things that I miss about CorelLinux is how seamless
cdrom mounting was. In Redhat, almost every time that I try and
unmount a drive, I get a "device busy" error (even if there are
no open terminals in the cd directory). Even a --force does not
unmount the drive (why have a --force if it doesnt actually
force?!). How can I alter the fstab so that the drives always
unmount when they should?
Thanks,

Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 14:33:49 GMT
I had done some surfing on deja.com, and suspected that this might be a
problem with my IDE drivers. What stumps me, however is that booting
off of the installation CD, and installing all of Linux, worked just
fine. If the drivers don't support Ultra DMA IDE, how does the Install
program's kernel boot, and how does it write to the drive when
installing all of the software?
Thanks for the advice, and if you have any more thoughts, please post
them too.

Why Dell? 3Com made the card.
It'd have been faster to use a search engine, such as Google.
Hmmm, a Google search for "3c905c linux driver" pops up as its
*** VERY FIRST LINK ****
http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linuxdownload.htm
which is 3Com's Linux driver site. It mentions that the
3C905 series is supported by Donald Becker's driver, and
provides a link
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
which is a redirecter to the new location
http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
This clearly mentions the 3c905C Tornado series.
This entire search took less time than it took to type in this
post.

Sorry, forgot that.
RAM is 128MB, swap partition is 128MB, and free disk space on / is somewhere
around 170MB.
