Can't boot Linux - could be VESA SCSI driver
wish to use Debian Linux 1.3 on my Intel 486 machine and I am unable to boot. I am unclear on where to go for help in booting debian linux. I have created a boot disc from the raw image resc1440.bin. I have attempted to boot many times always with the same result. I assume mailing to this list is my best chance to find a lead on where to even look to find the answer I've already looked through the FAQ and hardware Howto. I suspect the problem is related to the fact I have an adaptec 2840VL SCSI controller for my hard drive (as well as CD-ROM). The help screens yeild some terse and cryptic hints at what I might need to do. A list of boot parameters displayed when hitting F5 implies that Adaptec 284x SCSI controllers are supported but linux needs a boot parameter based on the template aic7xxx=[disable reset] Idon't know what this means. Pouring through the documenation for the SCSI controller I see that it contains an AIC7770 chip, so perhaps I type the following at the boot: prompt: linux aic7770=1 to disable reset (I don't know what that does) or linux aic7770=0 to not disable reset Neither way works and the result is the same as the default boot (just hitting enter) I get an error message kernel cannot handle dereferenced NULL pointer and the system hangs after displaying a dump of the processor registers. I'm honestly not even clear if the SCSI controller is my problem.

Re: msdos file system
Sorry, I missed the original post. I think you are looking for mformat, available in the mtools package. This may only work on floppies (not sure).

RE: Pcmcia Starting the network
What I actually did was almost the same ! :) I added a 'sleep 3' right after cardmgr to give it some time to start. CardMgr debian package DOES try to start './network start eth0' but its not working for some reason, probably in the wrong dir or something. Anyways, I was not gonna re-compile and spend hours configureing it or I would go nuts if it didn't configure the first time. :) A 'sleep 3' right after CardMgr works just fine. I would suggest the Package Maintainer try to update to the latest version, and fix up the scripts a bit. At the very least have the script wait a few seconds after starting cardmgr for just this reason. Theres no other fix then 'sleep' to the scripts right now..I think.. Thanks for the response !

Linux as a mail and intranetserver

Which means multiple email accounts etc. My main querry is how to go about it: - which e-mail software, - which web- and proxyserver to use - Can one have a Linux server and W95 pc's as clients. - As such, is there a way that multiple users could *download* their mail from the local Linux server into W95? Which mail package to use for that? - Else should one leave Windoze for what it is and work only with Linux packages. Which email-packages under Linux are most user-friendly?

Tape Drives?
Hello everyone, Please forgive me for a question that has probably been asked thousands of times. I've just been so busy lately that I haven't been able to do the research I usually would. Does anyone have any recommendations on a tape drive that would be compatible with Linux? My problem is I want to install Linux, but first I need to format the drive. Before I can format the drive, I need to back up everything. Unfortunately I am just out of room for backing up things. I already have a zip drive, but it has gotten to the point where much of what I am backing up is things I would only really be using as backup archives, so that continuing to buy more and more zip disks doesn't seem appropriate (especially in the wallet). I also figured that since Linux is more sensitive to things like sudden outages, a tape drive would be a good thing to have. My other problem is how much I have to spend. Around $100 is what I'd like to go for. $150 is pushing it, but should be able to manage it. I had first also considered a CD-R, since I have musical interests, but those seems to be about $300 for the cheapest models. An Iomega Ditto seems to be about the right price, and I have heard good things about it. Unfortunately I've also heard that it can't be used with Linux yet. I did find one page with a guy that seemed to have nearly everything nailed down, and the page was marked April. Has any more progress been made? Or is there another tape drive that is compatible and about the same price? I suppose that if the Ditto still isn't compatible, but people believe it will be in something like 3 months, then that'd be fine, too. It'll be a little ways before most of my stuff gets transferred to Linux... Thanks everyone!

There's basically just one choice for web proxy: squid. Even a lot of ISPs use it. For caching, a bit more memory and plenty of disk space is recommended.

Problems with Aztech's PnP MM WaveRider Pro 32-3D under Debian Linux
Hi! If this message does not match exactly the topic of this discussion list, please forgive me, but I saw there similar discussion about SoundBlaster... I would like to know if someone has successfully configured Aztech's PnP MM WaveRider Pro 32-3D under Debian Linux? I have read on Aztech's WWW that WaveRider is SoundBlaster Pro and MSS compatible, further the OSSLite's documentation informed me that native support for this card will be introduced soon, so I've decided to buy two of them for my two Linux systems. And here my problems begun. There was no way to get this card working in MSS mode (preferred because od full duplex support). After compiling the customized 2.0.30 kernel with SoundBlaster support I was able to record and play PCM sound, but volume controls don't work at all (I can set them with aumix or xmix, but it does not affect the volume). Additionally, sound is distorted... I attach my kernel configuration and isapnp.conf files. Thanks in advance Wojtek Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS. I tried to investigate the native Aztech's DOS utilities using I/O trace option of dosemu, but up to this moment it did not give any effect (except of 10MB output file ;-) ). # # Automatically generated by make menuconfig: don't edit # # # Code maturity level options # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y # # Loadable module support # CONFIG_MODULES=y # CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set CONFIG_KERNELD=y # # General setup # # CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set CONFIG_NET=y # CONFIG_MAX_16M is not set CONFIG_PCI=y # CONFIG_PCI_OPTIMIZE is not set # CONFIG_MCA is not set CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_BINFMT_JAVA=m CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF=y CONFIG_M586=y # CONFIG_BIGPHYS_AREA is not set # # Floppy, IDE, and other block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PCMCIA is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRITON=y # CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set # # Networking options # # CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set # CONFIG_NET_ALIAS is not set CONFIG_INET=y # CONFIG_IP_FORWARD is not set CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y # CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES is not set # CONFIG_RST_COOKIES is not set # CONFIG_IP_ACCT is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set # CONFIG_IP_MROUTE is not set # CONFIG_INET_PCTCP is not set # CONFIG_INET_RARP is not set # CONFIG_NO_PATH_MTU_DISCOVERY is not set CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y CONFIG_IPX=m # CONFIG_IPX_INTERN is not set # CONFIG_ATALK is not set # CONFIG_AX25 is not set # CONFIG_BRIDGE is not set # CONFIG_NETLINK is not set # # SCSI support # CONFIG_SCSI=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m # CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR is not set # CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS is not set # # SCSI low-level drivers # # CONFIG_SCSI_7000FASST is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1740 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_IN2000 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AM53C974 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DTC3280 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_EATA_DMA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_EATA_PIO is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_EATA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_FUTURE_DOMAIN is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C406A is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C7xx is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX is not set CONFIG_SCSI_PPA=m # CONFIG_SCSI_PAS16 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FAS is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_SEAGATE is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_T128 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_U14_34F is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_ULTRASTOR is not set # # Network device support # CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_DUMMY=m # CONFIG_EQUALIZER is not set # CONFIG_DLCI is not set # CONFIG_PLIP is not set # CONFIG_PPP is not set # CONFIG_SLIP is not set # CONFIG_NET_RADIO is not set CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM is not set # CONFIG_LANCE is not set # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_SMC is not set CONFIG_NET_ISA=y # CONFIG_AT1700 is not set # CONFIG_E2100 is not set # CONFIG_DEPCA is not set # CONFIG_EWRK3 is not set # CONFIG_EEXPRESS is not set # CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO is not set # CONFIG_FMV18X is not set # CONFIG_HPLAN_PLUS is not set # CONFIG_HPLAN is not set # CONFIG_HP100 is not set # CONFIG_ETH16I is not set CONFIG_NE2000=m # CONFIG_NI52 is not set # CONFIG_NI65 is not set # CONFIG_SEEQ8005 is not set # CONFIG_SK_G16 is not set # CONFIG_NET_MCA is not set # CONFIG_NET_EISA is not set # CONFIG_NET_POCKET is not set # CONFIG_TR is not set #

SUID shells...aaarrgghh
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Ok..this is driving me mad and my curiosity is piqued... A mate of mine (using RedHat) was hacked (probably from associating with the wrong company on IRC, most likely) - cleaning up his system, we found multiple backdoors, including the obvious series of SUID shells scattered around his file system. This prompted me to go over my Debian 1.3 setup for any glaring holes etc. This done, I thought I'd show him how the SUID shells were generated as I *thought* I knew how it was done (actually I thought it was bloody obvious)...I didn't think there was a way to prevent SUID shells being generated once root was obtained - so, logging into console as root $ cp /bin/bash /bin/somefile $ ls -l /bin/somefile - -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 318612 Oct 14 22:44 /bin/somefile $ chmod a+xs /bin/somefile - -rwsr-s--x 1 root root 318612 Oct 14 22:44 /bin/somefile Presumably a hacker (or cracker to be precise) would chgrp to root if root was gained by some exploit. Exiting and logging in as test_user (created for the purpose), when I execute /bin/somefile and do whoami and id, test_user is still controlling the shell with uid guid etc set to test_user. I've tried a number of variations on the above but to no avail. I *hate* the idea of not knowing how to do something that some IRC #hack juvenile can!

Re: Upgrading ghostscript?
Since Debian maintainers are being faced with this dilemma across the board, users should probably do as has been described many times on this list and install libc6 following the mini-howto. Or become friends with alien, rpm, and RedHat's (and sunsite no doubt) contrib directory to continue updating their Debian 1.3 with RedHat libc5 compatible binaries (They seem to have a lot of newer contrib/non-free type stuff compiled for libc5, but I may be mistaken. However it is true for gs-Aladdin, though it goes by a different name in RedHat land--just gs I think). Or compile libc5 binaries from source. Still, bless you Marco! I haven't gotten around to employing any of the above options. And I do need an updated gs-Aladdin sorely. Thanks so much.

Re: Tape Drives?
On Tue, 14 Oct 1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello everyone, Please forgive me for a question that has probably been asked thousands of times. I've just been so busy lately that I haven't been able to do the research I usually would. Does anyone have any recommendations on a tape drive that would be compatible with Linux? My problem is I want to install Linux, but first I need to format the drive. Before I can format the drive, I need to back up everything. Unfortunately I am just out of room for backing up things. I already have a zip drive, but it has gotten to the point where much of what I am backing up is things I would only really be using as backup archives, so that continuing to buy more and more zip disks doesn't seem appropriate (especially in the wallet). I also figured that since Linux is more sensitive to things like sudden outages, a tape drive would be a good thing to have. My other problem is how much I have to spend. Around $100 is what I'd like to go for. $150 is pushing it, but should be able to manage it. I had first also considered a CD-R, since I have musical interests, but those seems to be about $300 for the cheapest models. An Iomega Ditto seems to be about the right price, and I have heard good things about it. Unfortunately I've also heard that it can't be used with Linux yet. I did find one page with a guy that seemed to have nearly everything nailed down, and the page was marked April. Has any more progress been made? Or is there another tape drive that is compatible and about the same price? I suppose that if the Ditto still isn't compatible, but people believe it will be in something like 3 months, then that'd be fine, too. It'll be a little ways before most of my stuff gets transferred to Linux... The only Ditto which was a problem was the 2 GB version. I have a Ditto 3200 and it works fine with Linux (compiling ftape into the kernel). I understand that there is now support for the 2 GB Ditto (and Sony) drive, but you need to get a newer version of ftape and add it to the Linux kernel.

debian in umsdos
Hi, I'm trying to install debian in a umsdos partition (it's for my father, which cannot repartition the hard-disk). This my plan: 1) install doslinux in /dev/hda1 (DOS partition); 2) go to my Linux system in /dev/hdc1; 3) mount -tumsdos /dev/hda1 /mnt; 4) rm -r /mnt/linux/*; 5) cd /mnt/linux; 6) gzip -cd ~/debian.tar.gz | tar -xf -; (debian.tar.gz is a debian base system prepackaged) 7) put the doslinux kernel zimage.dos in the new linux system and modify the loadlin script supplied with doslinux. 8) edit /etc/fstab etc. 9) go to DOS and make a ZIP archive of /linux 10) deZIP the archive over the hard-disk of my father. but after step 6, I've a problem: if I go to dos and call loadlin the kernel start, begin to mount the filesystem and then it hang; this happen before of the INIT message. With doslinux the system start normally. I've used a debia 1.3 system. Can anyone en-light me on the problem?

Shared Libraries Howto?
Hi, I'm trying to build Diffpack, and I'm having some troubles. I want to build this thing using shared libraries. Reading the ELF-HOWTO and patching the sources somewhat I've managed to produce the shared libraries for the different parts, but now I cann't use them. Setting LD_SHARED_PATH doesn't work... the linker doesn't see the libraries. Reading the ld info page I'm getting the impression that the shared libraries MUST BE on certain trusted directories for ldconfig to work. Right now I'm testing the libraries, and I don't want to put them in /usr/lib. Eventually, I'd like to make a package [*] out of this, but right now I don't want to move this into the system paths. Is there a way to make this work? Is there a howto? Any info pages I should read? [*] for local use, there are license restrictions enforced in a funny way (if you agree with the license nobjects sends you a missing file in the source distribution). This doesn't make Diffpack suitable for Debian. I can pack patches, I think. Marcelo Magallon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hello. As I have mentioned on this list several times, I have upgraded my machine to a fair amount of libc6 stuff. In general, it seems to be working pretty well, but a lot of the NIS stuff is messed up. It is my understanding that this is because the NIS stuff used to be handle by a user level ypbind, and now libc6 is handling it in the shared libraries. What I _don't_ know is if I have my nsswitch.conf file set up correctly. I can't seem to locate documentation for it, so it makes it hard to check :-) An example of a problem I'm having: ls -al total 10436 drwxrwxrwx 20 root root 1024 Oct 6 16:14 ./ drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 1024 Oct 1 13:18 ../ drwxr-xr-x 3 5010 dialout 1024 Aug 26 15:42 blex/ drwxr-xr-x 3 278 dialout 1024 Aug 5 11:22 bsingh/ drwxr-xr-x 3 262 dialout 1024 Aug 25 11:23 cdieckma/ drwxr-xr-x 3 256 dialout 1024 Aug 9 16:53 dcmadhava/ Notice the numeric owners of these files... Kind of nuisance - not a big deal. But I'm wondering if it's me, or broken stuff. (The dialout groups are because the mappings from our NIS group others hits that of dialout on my local config - it's always been like that and it's no big deal.)

Changing mouse drivers
Hi, I just recently installed Debian 1.3.1 on a new system that has a PS/2 mouse. I now want to change to using a serial mouse. What would be the steps (I do not want to reload the OS.)? Richard A.

What would be the steps (I do not want to reload the OS.)? Reload the OS? That's windows-world thinking. First, if you installed the gpm package, you'll need to run 'gpmconfig' as root, and tell gpm about your mouse. Then, assuming you have X, you'll have to re-run XF86Setup (stop X first by quitting your session and, if you have xdm running, doing: /etc/init.d/xdm stop ) Inside XF86Setup, say yes to use the old configuration and all you should have to do is pick your new mouse parameters. (be certain to read through all of the dialog boxes that come up there, and test the new mouse setting by applying the changes) You shouldn't even need to reboot! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

a dummy question
Hello, excuse me for my extreme dummy question, but I'm absolutely new to unix/linux/debian. Is there any step-by-step installation guide to install debian onto a win nt/95 system, even if I have to repartition it, I must have them after the debian installation. I have a debian 1.3.1 CD from CheapBytes. Thanx, ITom from WebIroda [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

A quickie on telnet
Very simply, I'm trying to telnet to a site and get some data from a script. In HPUX, I would do this: echo Alinetobesent | telnet an.address.com 1234 And it would happily telnet to the machine and echo the command, getting me the results I wanted. This doesn't seem to work under any of the shells I could find installed in DEBIAN, or any odd variation I could come up with. Any ideas, or do I have to re-write in C using sockets (bleah)? --Mike -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

fsck question
Ok, here's the deal. We have a very large RAID array for a news spool. However, I'm wondering what is/is not sane as far as size ... for example, if I make a 50 gig partition will I be able to fsck it?? (fwiw, BSDI won't fsck it - it says it can't allocate 1300 bytes for a statemap ...) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD 57104 Voice: (605) 334-4454 Fax: (605) 335-1173 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Is there any step-by-step installation guide to install debian onto a win nt/95 system, even if I have to repartition it, I must have them after the debian installation. I have a debian 1.3.1 CD from CheapBytes. Look at the file bo/disks-i386/current/install.txt on your CD-ROM (THERE SHOULD REALLY BE A LINK TO THIS FROM THE TOP LEVEL DIRECTORY ON THE CD-ROM). I would also suggest that you get the Installation-HOWTO. This is probably on your CD in the doc-linux package, but, of course, you can't look at that until you install! You can ftp a copy from sunsite.unc.edu in the /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. This covers repartitioning, etc. You basically have a couple of options for repartitioning: fips, which is included on the CD-ROM, and Partition Magic, which is available commercially and will handle FAT32, which fips does not yet support. It also has a very good multiple-o/s boot manager, although Lilo, which comes in a Debian package can also be configured to do this. There are several good documents on this in the HOWTO/mini directory. Of course, the usual warnings about backing up your software before repartitioning apply, although I have not *yet* had a problem with either fips or Partition Magic.

What would be the steps (I do not want to reload the OS.)? I just switched from a MS bus mouse to a serial mouse, so this is fresh in my mind. Recompile your kernel and do not select any mouse. Delete any existing links to /dev/mouse, and link instead to /dev/ttyS1 or whatever serial port you will be using. (You might be able to get away without recompiling, but I did so to be safe). You will also need to reconfigure X, gpm, dosemu, etc. Bob Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Laptop in different places ...
Hi all, this is dirving me nuts. I have a laptop and I'm changing subnet frequently, and my machine has two names, ops, three: - one on subnet A - one on subnet B - one when I'm connecting via phone. The problem is that I have my mail server on the subnet A, and my normal name is the one on subnet A. When I'm on subnet B, I'd like not to change the name of the machine to whatever.B, but if I don't do that, fetchmail is not able anymore to retrieve my mail. Everything else seems fine, but the mail. What can I do? I don't want all the time reconfigure my machine: I'd like just to plug in and work ...

I can lock up machine. Why?
Hey. I've been doing lots of programming lately and have noticed (how could I not) that I am reliably able to cause my machine to lockup. I'm running 1.3.1, and have reinstalled from CD twice, once going so far as to wipe the entire boot partition first. This is how I do it: open a document in xfte that is several pages long. Quickly scroll through it using the page up and page down keys. In as little time as a minute I'm able to lock the machine solid -- no disk access, nothing. Note that I told the Xserver to disable XAA acceleration and am now stable but slow. I'm running a Cyrix P120+, Tyan Titan III, and Trident 9680 PCI with 2 Megs of RAM on the card, 24 in the machine. Also note that this machine has been perfectly stable for well over a year, since Debian 1.2, in fact. -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.
