Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 00:24:16 GMT
I am running a dual boot box with Windows 98 and Redhat 6.0... I can run X
in 800x600, and 1024x768... a friend of mine uses the line:
vga=792
in his lilo.conf file, but I am using loadlin.exe to boot to Linux, and
don't know how to get that command to run...
Is there any way to specify a resolution without using lilo, and are there
any other alternatives... I tried using SVGATextMode, but can't seem to get
it to run any fonts other than the VGA ones... my video card is an ATI, but
the settings for that either don't work, or aren't much of an improvement...
I can't seem to find out what the clock speed should be for my card, and
looking at the /etc/X11/XFConfig file doesn't tell me anything...
Thanks in advance...

Yo, this is my first time here.
I am using RedHat 6.0. OS for internet connection via linuxconf. Actually
connected for a while with usernet interface. But now it doesn't turn to
green, but stays on yellow. Modem seems to be Ok, it SOUNDS OK that is,
dial and ping etc. Also on Netscape, other than it telling me that the
server cannot be found, the LITTLE HAND doesn't show up when I pass over
links etc.
I edited the resolv.conf. like it was instructed me on a HOWTO. NETSCAPE
also tells me something about the need to point to the correct nameserver in
the SOCKS_NS environment file, but I can't seem to locate it and check it
out.
Anyways, any ideas???

Some notes worth considering..
1. AMI Megaraid controllers are supported in the 2.2 series kernels. I run
these in production. AMI even has a console based administration tool that
you can use from the command line. It is an excellent piece of software.
2. Dell PERC controllers are AMI Megaraid OEM models w/ customized BIOS
3. The Megaraid systems use SCSI drives. If your talking about IDE RAID
solutions from AMI, then I can't comment. However, the Megaraid under SCSI
is -AWSOME- for the price. You CANNOT find a better hardware raid solution
for the price.
4. Another supported hardware RAID solution are the DPT SmartRaid products.
However, last I knew, these were I2O cards which Linux was not able to take
full advantage of. There was also some proprietary code in the drivers that
held up public consumtion of the source code. I'm not sure if this has been
addressed, but I've been using a DPT SmartRaid V card in a production box
using their pre-built kernel module. The machine it's been running in has
had uptimes over over 150 days, coming down only for power and mobility
reasons.
5. I am personally against using IDE drives for RAID, although I can
certainly understand the mentality. In my experiences, however, performance
and reliability of SCSI based RAID systems has proven to be superior for my
applications. The most compelling reason to consider IDE RAID is, of course,
price.

Typically I think most laptops you buy come with winmodems which don't

To be able to use the framebuffer modes (vga=792 is a framebuffer mode)
then you need to compile a kernel with framebuffer support enabled.
Then you can pass the option "vga=792" to LOADLIN by editing LINUX.BAT
on your DOS partition like so:
loadlin c:\vmlinuz vga=792
You can pass parameters to the kernel by just putting them right after
the C:\vmlinuz part of that .BAT file. Something to try would be
"vga=ask", which will give you a list of modes that your graphics card
supports. Enter the mode number you want when Linux boots, and the
console screen will have that mode (80x34, 100x37, 132x50, etc.)
SVGATextMode is unmaintained and you really shouldn't use it.

Subject: running java apps on linux
Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 02:43:20 -0400
Hi,
I've installed jdk1.2.2 on linux (redHat 6.0, kernel 2.2.16, glibc
2.1.3), but I'm having trouble running java apps. I have DB2 installed
and running. It uses a java application called db2cc for maintaining and
using databases. But when I try to run it i get :
=========8<======================================================
[mark@localhost bin]$ db2cc 6798
/home/mark/sqllib/bin/db2cc: jre: command not found
[mark@localhost bin]$ java db2cc 6798
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: db2cc
=========8<======================================================
I though this might be a problem with my CLASSPATH, so I took a look,
and it looks like the DB2 install scripts have set the classpath for me.
=========8<======================================================
[mark@localhost mark]$ echo $CLASSPATH
:/home/mark/sqllib/java/sqlj.zip:/home/mark/sqllib/function:
/home/mark/sqllib/java/db2java.zip:
/home/mark/sqllib/java/runtime.zip:.:
/home/mark/sqllib/java/sqlj.zip:
/home/mark/sqllib/function:
/home/mark/sqllib/java/db2java.zip:/home/mark/sqllib/java/runtime.zip:.
=========8<======================================================
I treid to unset my CLASSPATH to see if it ran any better, but it was
exactly the same:
=========8<======================================================
[mark@localhost mark]$ CLASSPATH=
[mark@localhost mark]$ echo $CLASSPATH
[mark@localhost bin]$ db2cc 6798
/home/mark/sqllib/bin/db2cc: jre: command not found
[mark@localhost bin]$ java db2cc 6798
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: db2cc
=========8<======================================================
I looked at the FAQ at www.afu.com, and found that I should not need to
set my CLASSPATH, except for the DB2 user classes, which as seen above
was set by DB2.
=========8<======================================================
2.Is the CLASSPATH environment variable used correctly?
...In JDK 1.2, CLASSPATH is no longer needed for system libraries. You
do want CLASSPATH to point to the directories containing any "user
classes" you're using...
...Also remember that Browsers set the CLASSPATH to the directory of the
HTML file, plus the codebase parameter. in JDK 1.1 and after, it
automatically adds the system classes (lib/classes.zip), so you don't
have to. JDK 1.2 adds "." (current directory) automatically, so you
don't have to. (But jre doesn't - see below. JDK 1.1 jre tool does not
use the CLASSPATH variable or assume the current directory. (On Solaris,
CLASSPATH does work.)...
=========8<======================================================
Does anyone have any idea why this application won't run?

Mark Irvine

Folks,
I am about to put up Linux 6.2. Anyone care to advise on whether I am
better off putting a 2nd NIC card into the box BEFORE I set it all up,
or after I've got it running with just the first.
The idea here is to get IP Masquerading going for the DSL line.

OK, I'm answering my own question for the next unfortunate soul.
I found that compiling these options as modules didn't work:
#
# IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=m
snip------
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m
Compiled as:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
snip------
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y (automatically goes ot "y" with the DEV_IDE
selection)
I also had trouble in getting my new modules to be recognized. The
standard Redhat 6.2 script wouldn't work as normal and set things right
for the new version on reboot so instead I did "depmod -a 2.4.0-test5"
after rebooting back in with my old kernel.
So far all else is working fine. Now to delve into mounting a CDR so I
can try packet writing to it, which was the whole object of this new
kernel to begin with.

Just got Corel Linux installed a few days ago, but haven't made any
headway getting my @home internet connection to work. I've gone
through Corel's Control Center and set all the host name, subnet
masks, DNS addresses, etc using the data I could glean from my W98
setup through winipcfg, and I've tried running both with DHCP and
static IPs, but nothing works.
I'm left wondering whether my NIC is even setup and installed properly
for Linux. Under Windows the card is listed as "NDC 10/100 Fast
Ethernet PCI Adapter (MX-A) [MX987x5]". How would I go about checking
if Linux is even "seeing" my card and installing the proper drivers in
the event that it isn't.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
chf.
PS As long as I'm here, is there any way to get NumLock to stay on
after I reboot. I know it's a tiny thing, but it's annoying when I go
to type out an IP address and find the damn thing's been turned off.

If u ran fdisk from win 98 u wiped out your boot record to boot into
Linux that restored your original boot record which boots u into
windows
this one is just a guess u need to reformat your HD and then boot from
a Linux boot disk that will let u install from your CD or if u dont
have a CD copy of it and u have the install files on another HD
then u can boot to that drive and install from there and repartition
your HD's to Linux partitions

Hello,
my boss recently bought a dual PIII machine with this motherboard
and hard drive:
TYAN TIGER 133 (VIA APOLLO PRO 133A)
(VT82C596B)
WINBOND W83977ATF Super I/O CHIP
IBM DTLA 307045 (45GB IDE UDMA66)
Upon Linux (RH6.1) installation, fdisk fails to see /dev/hda.
It also fails to see /dev/hde, with a PCI PROMISE IDE-UDMA66
controller.
Normally, I would start installation, switch to CTRL+ALT+F2,
do a 'cat /proc/pci' to see where to pop the hard drive, reboot,
then 'text ide2=0xd800,0xdc00' and then I would be able to
install normally (at UDAMA33). Then I would upgrade the kernel
and patch it with the PROMISE IDE controller patch, reboot,
and everything would be fine.
Now, since install fails with both onboard AND pci ide-control-
lers, I suspect it is the MOTHERBOARD.
I see within the newer kernels that there is a VT82***** chip-
set option within 'Block Devices' within kernel config.
Are there updated boot disks that will still permit me to do
an installation, or am I doomed and should I throw this
mboard at my boss?
Wondering...
