If it isn't, then you should take your computer back to the shop, it's
defective. There is no o/s on the machine at the time you run the POST
test, so it's between you, the hardware and the bios. So you should
check those three things (clue, eliminate the bios first).

I have absolutely no doubt someone with an UNIX/Linux experience like
you Peter,
could easily check his system.
But assuming from the fact, that the OP
doesn't really know what's going on, it would be better to reinstall
from
scratch, case he really got hacked, applying the latest patches to
his distro, checking /etc/hosts.deny, shutting down all unnecessary
services and finally setting up a firewall, before he connects the box
to the internet again.

Hello
I would like to know if it is possible to change the login name for the root
user. Say for example that I want to call him 'admin' instead root, how do I
go about it? Is it simply a matter of changing the name in /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow, or is there more that has to be done?

Hmm... sorry, I worded that poorly. The eth0 delayed initialisation
problem never hampered use of the interface (the initialisation must have
been "delayed" until PCMCIA kicked in, and then occurred), and actually
stopped occuring altogether when I upgraded to the new kernel. However,
despite this (and the aforementioned autoconfigure thing that came up out
of nowhere under the new kernel - some RedHat thing), the card simply
doesn't work under the new kernel. There is no delayed initialisation
under 2.4.4 etc... and when I reboot to 2.4.2-2, it works fine even with
that problem.
I should probably mention the type of ethernet card - a Xircom 10/100 mbps
+ 56k modem Realport cardbus.

No problem changing UID 0 to whatever name you like, as only the UID
really matters. Checking file permissions and /etc/crontab wouldn't
be a bad idea.

When did you download the XFree86 distribution, and which one did
you download?
Red Hat 7.1 is glibc-2.2 based. They didn't put the glibc2.2
binaries up until this last Friday. If you downloaded before
then, then you downloaded a glibc2.1-based build, and are
suffering from library mismatch (in fact, the fact that "XFree86
-configure" dumps core leads me to believe that this is the case).
If you've downloaded the incorrect version, I'd suggest going back,
downloading the glibc2.2-based binaries and installing over the
top of your current distro, then trying again. Hopefully, that'll
get you up and running.

The first thing I'd try is deactivating the swap with "swapoff" then
reinitialize it with bad block checking "mkswap -c" and reactivating with
"swapon" to see if that solves your problem. Perhaps the swap partition
got corrupted somehow?

His distro surely provides him with tools (tripwire? rpm? - does nayone
kow what the debian equivalent is, if there is one?) that will
check his installation for him.

Well, I grant you the point about hosts.deny (and inetd.conf :-).
Inetd.conf is usually backdoored.

I have to ask... why did you format the drive with the WinME
fdisk and then install Red Hat? If it were me, I'd partition
the disk with Red Hat if I were going to install Red Hat.

Strange. There should be nothing that Red Hat does, parition or
otherwise, that should interfere with the auto-detect.

Well, that tells me that the hard disk hardware and the IDE controller
hardware both are working, so I'm a little at a loss to explain what's
going on with the BIOS.
> hard drive. I also entered the drive info in the bios and still no go.
I'm a believer in asking stupid questions, so let me ask a couple:
(1) Are the drive jumpers set properly?
(2) What kind of sector translation do you have set up in the BIOS?
A drive this large has to have some sort enabled (LBA, large, et
cetera) before it can be detected.

Also make sure it's a type of executable that your kernel
supports. I had an executable I downloaded and tried to run,
turned out it was built as an a.out and my kernel only had
support for ELF executables. The error messages I got were
similar to what you reported.

Blackdown is the one they recomend.
You just openn up konqueror preferences-->konqueror browser-->java and point
it to the "java" executable as in:
/usr/local/java/blackdown/j2re1.3.0/bin/java
from www.konqueror.org :
"KJAS has been tested against IBM's and Blackdown's 1.3 releases, and Sun's
1.2.2 release. Currently, Sun's 1.3 jvm is not supported, but work is going on
to fix the problems with that version. Hopefully Sun's 1.3.1 release will work.
It's been found that KJAS seems to work best under Blackdown's jvm. Kaffe and
IBM's 1.1.8 will probably not work- they are not officially supported.
Blackdown's JVM can be obtained from http://www.blackdown.org.
IBM's Java products can be found at http://www.ibm.com/developer/java/.
Sun's Java products can be found at http://java.sun.com/products/.";

Maybe dumb question but stranger things have happened: did you reboot first?
I'm just a newbie but thought I could help by sharing what I did-- I had no
problems. I realize you are using Redhat and I am using Mandrake but it can't
hurt to share information with you.

XFree86-libs-4.1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-21mdk.i586.rpm (specifc for my video card)
XFree86-devel-4.1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
Then ran rpm Fvh XFree86*.*
One file was corrupt so I had to redownload it but other than that no problems)
you can do: rpm -qa |grep XFree86 to see what files you have installed
Hopefully someone more knowlegeable can help you out with getting your system
working again.

Sounds rather strange as you don't (u)mount a swap partition, but
use swapoff, so is it a file or is it a dedicated partition since you
mentioned both.

Subject: BT-946C SCSI and Ethernet IRQ Conflict?
Date: 10 Jun 2001 21:50:06 GMT
Folks,
Second attempt; don't think the last one went out.
Curious if anyone has any idea what's going on here.
I picked up an old Seagate 50-pin SCSI-II drive for a
pittance to hook up to a BT-946C SCSI card that had
been sitting idle since the CD writer it was attached
to went belly-up. I installed these into my "file
server" box, a dual PPro-200 running Debian 2.2r3. I
recompiled the kernel with the only difference being
that I turned on SCSI support, specifically for the
Buslogic cards. The card was identified OK on boot
and I was able to partitiion the drive and enable
some swap space on it (haven't built any filesystems
yet) so I'm fairly certain both drive and card are
working fine.
The problem is that now my PCI ethernet card no
longer works. It's a Netgear FA-310TX which has done
yeoman's duty since the day I bought it, though for
some odd reason it gets identified in the boot logs
for Debian 2.2r3 as a "Lite-On 82c168". Doen't matter;
it worked just fine until I put the SCSI card into the
box. Both SCSI card and network card are using IRQ 9,
with the SCSI card doing its I/O at 9400 and the net
card using 9800. I've gone into the SCSI card setup
at boot time, and it will not allow me to modify the
IRQ value. I'm unaware of any way to force the
network card to a different IRQ. Can anyone make any
suggestions about where I could get started, here?
Forgive my ignorance, but I thought one of the points
of PCI was that you didn't have to worry (as much)
about IRQs and such; that the devices were capable of
sharing them, if necessary, and that the whole thing
was for the most part self-configuring. So, what's
up?
Other specs for the box, if anyone's interested:
Tyan ATX motherboard (1668D, I think), 128 MB of ECC
RAM, Matrox Mystique video card w/4MB RAM, and an old
OPL3-SAX sound card that doen't even get used, but I
never bothered pulling out of the machine. Ultimately
I plan to make this box into a big RAID-5 file server
by slapping 3 Promise UATA-100 controllers into it,
replacing the FA-310TX with a DLink DFE-570TX, and
the Mystique with either an old Trident ISA video card
or just hooking an old serial terminal to the thing.
Then I'll hang 6 disks off the Promise controllers and
do RAID-5 across 'em. But obviously this will involve
loading the box up with a lot of PCI cards, so I need
to get these issues resolved first.
best,
Jim Wiggs
