I think what you are asking is how to login into Linux
not your Cable account.
During the install RH should have asked for a password for root
and a user account and password. Now, if you are trying
Login: root
Password: password_you_entered_4_root_here
and it fails (assuming Caps key is in same mode as install)
you might have selected a high security setting which will not
allow you to log in as root.
Try the user account and password and if you can get in, try,
su -l root
Password: password_you_entered_4_root_here
If you have forgotten root's password, Reboot the box and at the lilo
prompt hit the tab key and enter
linux single
That should drop you at
the root prompt where you can do a
passwd root
new_root_password_here
new_root_password_here

For some reason the Tab-Enter doesn't do anything, it just boots to the same
prompt which looks like this:
modemcable04 login:
I have tried every password I can think of - my cable modem username/pass,
my root username/pass, my user account one...
I still can't see anything when I type the password, is this normal?
Thanks for any help...

Subject: Cannot connect to my servers.
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 14:52:10 -0400
I am running Redhat 7.0. I cannot connect to any of my servers from a remote
location (eg: ftp, ssh,
telnet, http), and I cannot get a response from my box with the ping
command. When I do a traceroute it gets to the gateway but dies out after
the gateway. The strange thing is when I get home I can ssh into another
server and ftp, ssh, telnet, etc.., back to my server. So this seems to be
happening only when I am away from my machine and it is sitting idle.
Someone told me to try disabling power management in the BIOS. I have done
this but the problem still exisits. I have an award BIOS.
Has anyone experienced before and can you help me?
Thank you for your time?

OK, so here I am with linux/mandrake 7.2, which won't

Windoze.
Does anybody have a writeup of the procedure for d/l'ing a

`----- This is confusing me.
I want to make this clear: root is a user with a password and
your user account has a password.
Your cable modem username/pass is not part of this process, guess we will
being see questions about that later. :)
So I hope you are entering
modemcable04 login: root <======= Ohs not zeros
Password: roots_password_here
Next I would try the rescue diskette, If you did not create one
during install, load the RH cd and see if you can get into the rescue/expert
mode and reset root's password with passwd root
If you cannot get in with the rescue/lilo-tab solution above, I
suggest a re-install Verify that you do not have the caps lock on when
you enter root and user account info and passwords. You can change
them after you get in.

Subject: Kernel Patching Question
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 19:23:23 GMT
Hello Folks,
I currently run RH 5.2 with the 2.0.36 kernel. I would like to
upgrade to the 2.2.x kernel to have support for the Promise Ultra 100
controller. However, I don't know what patch level I should upgrade
to. I have looked at kernel.org and Hendrick's patch site, but there
doesn't seem to be any info as to what hardware the various patches
support, that is, should x be 11, 12 ,13 ? I figure it doesn't make
sense to install additional patches for hardware I don't have, but
maybe this is common practice. Is there a list somewhere with a
description of the the various patches ? Also, it is reasonable to
expect that the rest of RH 5.2 will run correctly with an upgraded
kernel, or should I expect to have to download upgrades of
applications ?
Thanks,
Rick

If you can connect locally, but not remotely, it has nothing to do with
power management. It could be a firewall problem or the ports may be
blocked somewhere.

Really,
Have you heard of a program called nmap well it has indicated to me that all
the ports used for the services I connect to are open. And unless RedHat 7.0
installs a firewall automatically.... I think your theory holds no ground
whatsoever. Does Caldera install a firewall automatically I highly doubt it.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get the 2.2.19 kernel instead of all those

Setup: RH Linux 6.2 with KDE
System: ATI Xpert 2000 graphics card; resolution 1152x864 (in Windows);
Samsung 950p monitor.
Running the standard "workstation install" of Linux allows me only to

Display looks OK but is skewed to the right. When a window is dragged, or
any graphics activity takes place, white horizontal lines flicker on the

I know so little about this, but I went into xf86config and tried
configuring the monitor and card myself. Not a happy result (I'm on Windows

I can't remember this for sure... There was a problem with the ATI 128
chipset driver that come with older version of XFree.
Thry the following link. I used to use this driver instead and
everything works really well.
The web page did not mention Xpert 2000, but I believe this card uses
the same chip set.

I don't know how to change the IRQ's that Linux assigns to devices, but if you
set PnP OS to "no" in your BIOS, the BIOS should assign IRQs and that might
fix your problem. When I installed the drivers for my sound card (Diamond
MX300) the readme said PnP OS had to be set to "no" for it to work I believe.
You can also manually assign IRQ's to PCI devices in some BIOS's.

You may want to consider installing a new kernel... When it comes to patches,
you can't simply apply one patch to go from 2.0.36 to 2.2.12 ( unless it's
specialized by a contributor )... You'll have to include all of the patches in
between, otherwise you'll break the source code, by trying adding new code that
may reference new variables/symbols that should have been added from a previous
patch ( or vice-versa, old code that should have been removed by a previous
patch references variables/symbols that were removed by a later patch ).
For that reason, I'd recommend upgrading to at least 2.2.16... Keep in mind that
you may also have to upgrade some other core libraries that linux uses ( libc,
glibc, initscripts, etc. ).
