You are right, it is not sb16 compatible, (ESS1868) but I have had it working before, and I made no changes to the packages, the only change was FAT -> FAT32 on the drives that hold the pak files, and a new motherboard. I know either of these could be the problem, but I am stumped as to where it can be fixed.

modem is not responding
Several weeks ago I bought a new ZOOM 56k modem. I have gotten consistently good speeds with it (in the order of 40,000 bps). After I had been using it for a couple of weeks, it began to intermittently fail to respond to ppp or minicom. There is no error message - just no response when any command is sent to the modem. In minicom, nothing appears on the screen when I type, and there is no response to +++. The minicom commands to initialize and reset are accepted, but there is no apparent effect. It is very erratic - sometimes I can make a dozen or more ppp connections in a session, other times I can only make one or two connections before it fails to respond. The only cure I have found is to reboot, which is a pain. I have never had it fail the first try after a reboot. Does this sound like a hardware problem, or is there any possible software problem?

It is a GUI kernel config program and is much more intuitive than menuconfig. I will assume that you are referring to a SB16 PnP from here on. You want to compile sound support as a module and then add the correct IRQ, DMA, and addresses in the kernel config. Then you should compile with 'make dep; make clean; make zImage' when that is done run 'make modules; make modules_install' and your kernel should be OK. Copy it to /vmlinuz and reboot. You may then need to use isapnptools to set-up your sound card. Compile your kernel and then get that package. Hope that helps, -Ian _ Ian K.

An easy way to do all this with Debian is to use 'make-kpkg', which is in kernel-package. This compiles the kernel and creates a .deb package. When you install this with dpkg, it puts everything where a Debian system expects it and runs lilo.

Rick Macdonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I assume that on the new root partition, you have to manually create the > /proc directory (mount point) and from there the kernel will fill it > with whatever is required? Or will the kernel even create /proc? I have always manually created /proc. I don't think the kernel would create that mount point. There is no magic about the directory name proc - it could be called anything as long as fstab mounts the proc file system on it. The kernel provides the virtual entries in the proc file system wherever it is mounted. There really isn't anything under /proc - it is just a way to access kernel information. In the course of upgrade testing I regularly copy a file system to my test partition with cp-ax. After copying, it is important to edit /etc/fstab _before_ trying to mount the new partition. After editing fstab, I do ls /, then ls /mnt (assuming the newly copied system is mounted on /mnt), so both are visible for comparison, and make or remove directories in /mnt as necessary. As Nathan E Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mentioned, this is almost a religious matter. There are several satisfactory methods using find/tar/cpio that work well, and some very passionate advocates of each method. I prefer cp -ax because I don't have to look up a command sequence. I don't think any of the various methods have any technical advantages over the others - it's just what you are used to and happy with. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

Or will the kernel even create /proc? Uh, first, the part you quoted was written by Bob Hilliard, not me. So it's completely unclear to whom you are addressing your question. If your question is "After copying my current root partition to a new partition mounted on /mnt, using `cd /; find . -xdev -print | cpio -padm /mnt' do I have to manually create /proc, etc." the answer is "No, you do not." All mount points are created using this method. The underlying filesystems are not copied, which is what you want. That's why I feel this method is superior, even if it means more typing than `cp -ax' (and you can omit the "-print" from the `find' options, but my first UNIX experience was on SCO, and it's become a habit.) You do of course have to edit /mnt/etc/fstab, optionally run lilo if you know how to do that when the new root is not mounted on root, make the new root partition active, etc. The root filesystem is the most difficult one to move, and there are some tricks you can use to make it easier. The other filesystems are a lot easier to move, and generally just need an entry added in /etc/fstab before rebooting (if indeed you even need to reboot) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hello, I have a soundblaster card I wanted to get working under my bo system. My system is currently running 2.0.33 so I downloaded the source so I could make a version with the sound blaster support. Here is what I did 1. make menuconfig - go through list and remove all the stuff that sounds like I don't need it. 2. make dep 3. make clean 4. make zImage - This errors out because of the kernel size. 5. make gzImage - Readme file says to do this if above didn't work 6. make modules 7. make modules_install 8. copy new kernel to /boot and make symbolic link to /linuz 9. run sbin/lilo - This errors out saying the kernel is to big! The kernel size is about 1.4M where the one I downloaded during my initial install is only ~600K. Why is mine so much bigger? The last try I gutted everything that didn't seem to be required... Am I doing anything wrong in my process above? Thanks, Doug -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Compiling a kernel
kernel-package does this, including putting System.map- in /boot. It also gives you an option for creating a boot-floppy with the new kernel. What does system.map do? I've compiled kernels before without kernel-package and never had problems. Likewise, what about boot., boot.b, etc.?

So, this isn't the proper way to handle it (this is probably a bug in one of the packages), but I solved the problem by going to /etc/alternatives and deleting the dangling symlinks. You should do this with mc (midnight commander file manager) because it displays bad symlinks in red, so spotting the problems is easy. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There's been a major change in Linux "policy" regarding headers. From now on the standard headers will be distinct from the actual headers from the source tree of your kernel source. Debian has chosen to standardize now on the headers from 2.0.32 for this purpose. You're supposed to use the actual kernel headers (the ones that belong to the kernel you are currently running) only for programse (like drivers) that need to now about internal kernel specifics. Most other apps will work fine with older, but stable, headers. That's the theory anyway. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Compiling a kernel
Get the kernel-package package (in misc I think). This is a wrapper for kernel compilation process that will allow you to produce a custom kernel-image package that may be installed with dpkg.

Compiling a kernel
Hi, There was some discussion a while ago about installing a new kernel.

printing with samba
Two Win95 client machines here have a weird problem printing to my LJ5L via samba; they often say that an error occurred writing to \\Server\LJ5L. Usually it works next time, although one of the clients is being particularly stubborn tonight. Anyone ever seen this? I print from NT more often than anyone else and NT works perfectly ...

Re: Problem with new hamm version of ncurses
HI. I didn't upgrage to hamm yet,(I planed to so it this weekend, but then my monitor blew up, and when I fixed it (and after replacing my motherboard, cpu, memory, graphics card and modem) my power-supply stopped working (I might have to take it to a real technician to see if I did something wrong) , but this has nothing to do with the question :) ) but I think that the problem is that the programs don't call refresh() after the endwin() (so the screen returns to the previous state). You can try to look at the source code, and see whether I'm right. All you have to do to fix it, is add a refresh() line at the end. (Or where-ever it is appropriate in those programs) However, I don't think that this is the problem, since it is to easy to fix...
