Hi,
I am a newbie to Redhat.
Using Redhat 6.2 and kernel 2.2.17.
I can boot up to init 3 level fine. When I run "startx &>logfile" from the prompt, it
hangs. I recive the following error: /dev/mouse unable to get status of mouse fd
(inappropriate ioctl for device) in the logfile.
I have tried running mouseconfig & modifying XF86Config. I don't have XF86Setup on my
system. No luck.
I am using a microsoft PS/2 mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rory, I have the same card, it is supported by the SVGA X-server. (btw:
see man X for why it is _not_ X windows). In order to use the threeD
acceleration, you might consider using the drivers by Nvidia but the ones
for 3.3.6 are slightly unstable. Better update to woody and use X4.
The following configs are both setup for using the Nvidia-drivers, btw.

Noooo,
just skip the others part in lilo.conf for win2k to prevent lilo to
look for this boot signature.

Are you sure you want this? You can mess up heavily.
I suppose any hexeditor can (mc -v /dev/hda eg.) but I would think
twice before proceeding.
<skipped a lot of additional info>
The problem is obvious, skip the others part, when not needed.

Subject: to produce config.h for pcmcia controller after updating kernel ?
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:37:16 +0800
Does anybody know how to produce config.h for pcmcia card
controller after updating kernel?
I have updated my kernel from redhat 6.2 (2.2.14) to 2.4.0
successfully.Now I have a problem "I Can't produce 'config.h'
for pcmcia-3.1.22 under kernel 2.4.0" for installing 11M
wireless pcmcia card with linux driver.
=============I can do "Step 1.A" below now under kernel 2.4.0======
=============But I can't do "Step 1.B" below now for producing "config.h"
for pcmcia-3.1.22 under kernel 2.4.0. Because there is no directory like
"pcmcia-cs-3.1.xx" at /usr/src/linux directory after updating my kernel
to 2.4.0. So I don't know what to do. If I can't produce the config.h,
there will be 2-3 errors at "Step3" --"Installing the driver-> make
all/install" while installing my 11M linux driver for 11M wireless pcmcia
card. Then I can't install the driver successfully
===================================== THIS IS WHERE MY PROBLEM IS !!!
The below are procedures from vendor that I produce config.h files for
Linux kernel and pcmcia under redhat6.2(kernel 2.2.14):
========================================================
Installation procedurecs:
1.To produce "config.h"
A.=>/usr/src/linux/make menuconfig
("Linux Kernel V2.2.14 Configuration" window will show,please
tab "Exit" button, then press 'Enter'. Another window will show
and ask you "Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration"
, just tab "Yes", then press 'Enter'.)
B.=>/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8/make config
(At this step, system will ask you some questions. You only need
to press "Enter" to use default values. But you have to pay
attention to the question below:)
=>Linux source directory[/usr/src/BUILD/linux]:
please type the exact directory=>[e.g. /usr/src/linux]
2. Copy the driver "linuxr1.tgz" to linux OS and decompress it
=> mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
=> cp /mnt/floppy/linuxr1.tgz /linuxr1.tgz
=> tar zxvf linuxr1.tgz
=> The directory "linux-wlan-ng-0.1.7" will be created.
3.Install the driver
Before doing this, please turn your PC card's "Control Mode" to
"Cardbus/16-bit" at its Bios for supporting 3.3V PC card.
(Ps: at most laptop's Bios, there is no such item . It means that
the laptop can auto-detect PC card's "Control Mode" between
"PCIC Compatible" and "Cardbus/16-bit", or it means that the laptop is
too old to support 3.3V PC card. And NDC 11M wireless PC card(NWH610)
can't be worked in such laptops)
=> cd /linux-wlan-ng-0.1.7
=> make config
At this step, system will ask you some questions. You only need to
press "Enter" to use default values. But you have to pay attention
to the 4 questions below:
=>pcmcia-cs source directory[/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.20]:
please type the exact directory
=>[e.g. /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8]
=>PCMCIA script directory[/etc/pcmcia]:
press "Enter" to use default value. And the "wlan-ng.opts" will
be in this directory.
=>Install drivers as station(sta) or access point(ap)?[sta]:
Setup the pc as a wireless station by type 'sta'.
(we only support station function for the card)
=>Build for 64-bit WEP function?('n' for 128-bit)(y/n)[y]:
press 'Y' or 'N' to select the WEP function that you want to use.
=> make all
=> make install
4.Restart pcmcia services

This is correct, except you want append="mem=256M", i assume the above is
a typo...

That's the option, but you implement it wrong. Instead of:
image=/boot/bzImage
label=linux append="mem=256M"
...
Try:
image=/boot/bzImage
label=linux
append="mem=256M"
...
and then everything should work! :)
good luck

Did you remember to run LILO after modifying lilo.conf? If not, then
the changes did not happen.
A couple things I'd also question:
> image=/boot/bzImage
> label=linux append="mem=256M"
> read-only
> root=/dev/hda6
I'm not sure you can put the "append" command on a line with the "label"
command... every time I've seen it used, it was on a line by itself.
I'm surprised LILO didn't choke on this.
The other thing is, did you manually copy the bzImage file to /boot
like lilo.conf says? Sometimes that gets forgotten, and the old kernel
is still there.

Linux has two clocks, the hardware clock and the software clock. The
software clock is loaded from the hardware clock during startup and
timezone changes are applied at this time. To correct your problem, set
the hardware clock (using 'hwclock' - for info on doing this type 'man
hwclock') to GMT (10 hours behind the current time in your case). This
should fix the problem.

Here's the short version...
When RedHat boots, it boots into a "runlevel", which is a fancy
name for a preset configuration. Several possible "runlevels"
exist, one for single-user, one for multi-user, one for multi
with X, and so forth. What gets started under each runlevel is
controlled by the scripts (really symlinks to scripts) in the
/etc/rc.d directory. There are several directories there of
the form "rcx.d", where the "x" is the runlevel. This is all
orchestrated by the script /etc/rc.d/rc, which executes all the
scripts in the appropriate "rcx.d" subdirectory. For example,
for runlevel 3, rc executes all the rc3.d scripts.
Note that these scripts are all just symlinks into the
/etc/rc.d/init.d directory. The quick and dirty way to prevent
stuff from being started up on bootup, therefore, is to go into
the particular rcx.d directory corresponding to your normal
runlevel (this is shown in /etc/inittab on the line containing
the "initdefault" keyword) and delete the symlink pointing to
the script that starts the undesired service. The ones that
start with an uppercase "S" are the ones that start services;
the ones that start with "K" kill running services prior to
changing runlevels.
Note: This Is Done At Your Own Risk. I repeat: This Is Done
At Your Own Risk. Messing with the system startup scripts
has the potential of rendering your system unbootable.
Be careful.

Subject: Help!!! Installaltion hangs and crash on HP Netserver 5/100 LC....
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 21:21:32 +0800
I've recently acquired an old HP Netserver 5/100 LC and tried installing
Redhat Linux 6.2 with it. However,the installations cannot detect the scsi
host controller (Adaptec 7770). I went to the redhat website and found out
the solution for it - installing the updated driver for the scsi manually.
But still, the installation hangs and failed.
However, when I tried to install linux-mandrake 7.1 using the patch I've
obtained from their website, i managed to install it sucessfully. but when I
boot up the machine after installation, it doesn't load the updated module
(aic7xxx), thus cannot mount my root filesystem.
the specs are as follow:
Pentium 100Mhz
128Mb RAM
Adaptec 7770 embedded scsi host controller
2.1 scsi hd
2.1 scsi hd
4.2 scsi hd
scsi cdrom
S3 Trio 64v+ VGA
3Com 10/100 NIC
Is there any workaround for this problem? I've tried appending extra command
parameter with the aic7xxx module, but still no luck at all...
Please help!!!
Thanks in advanced.

I'm having some problems getting Maple 5.2 to run on my Toshiba 4600

Well, that's not surprising. But "updated" is a relative concept.

Post the error messages, and don't INSTALL. Just boot the thing.

How are you gong to boot with a module when the module is on your
filesystem and the filesystem is on a scsi disk, and the scsi disk is
on a scsi controller, and you need to load a module to have a driver
for it?
Please don't play with initrd. Just compile your own kernel, with the
driver for the hard disk controller COMPILED IN.

Ah, well it must be an old controller then!

Don't do it. Compile the right driver in. If you can't get the embedded
controller to work - no surpise, since embedded controllers are usually
screwed up hardware-wise - disable it and stick in a controller on a
PCI card. You don't need more than a 10 or 20MB/s ultrascsi, which
will set you back between $40 and $70 new.

Don't know where you get the sh command from but I use
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.18
make my adjustments to /etc/lilo.conf, run
/sbin/lilo and reboot. Try that and report
back whether this works. Oh and lose the
make xconfig. Use make menuconfig instead.
