Disk Drive Order Changes
I have built a new system using: Etch with kernel 2.6.18-6-k7 Tyan Thunder h1000E Motherboard 2 Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processors Two hard drives: #1 on the builtin IDE - hda #2 on an PCI card - hdc The system always boots from #1 but sometimes, the kernel gets confused and assigns #2 as hda and #1 as hde. When this happens, the boot fails because #2 has two empty partitions. I can enter reboot and sometimes the system will come up with the disk set correctly and sometimes not. This problem also happened on Etch with kernel 2.6.18-5-k7. I would welcome suggestions for what is causing the problem and how to correct it. Thanks.

SendPage - Can't reset Modem

It sends the initialization string and then dies waiting for the OK that the modem never sends in response to the initialization string. I have successfully used the modem with the minicom program so I know that the comm port and modem are working. I think that the Sendpage program is not doing something right when it is writing to the modem. Does anyone have any experiences with getting Sendpage to work that they can share with me? Thanks.

Re: Moving Users Passwords to Debian

Or you keep shadow passwords on in debian (`shadowconfig on'), and copy both the lines from the passwd and from the shadow file from the SUN. If you are maintaining a system with so many users, be sure to use shadow passwords with debian.

Diald and Windows NT/95
I am using Diald to maintain the PPP link on an ISDN link from a Linux box acting as a gateway for a local area network The system works well except that the link is always coming up and going back down after 36-37 seconds. The link comes backup again in 19-20 seconds and goes back down again after 36-37 seconds. The local area network has Windows NT and Windows 95 machines. I am running the standard filter that comes with Diald. I need some advice on: 1. What is causing the link to yo-yo and how to change the Windows boxes to stop the yo-yo from happening. 2. How to change the diald filter to stop the yo-yo actions. Thanks for your help.

The problem is I can connect to my server and everything looks 100%
except for the fact I can't do anything on the Internet.
When I have connected and type in ifconfig this is what I am given :

This looks normal except for the ppp errors in which there is only one.
If I do a route -n this is what I am given :
Kernel IP routing table

196.25.198.20.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 01 ppp0

0.0.0.0 196.25.198.20.0.0.0 UG0 01 ppp0
This also looks right.
Now for some init files...
My /etc/init.d/network file :
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=none
ifconfig arc0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
This as far as I can see is default unless something has changed without
me noticing.
My /etc/hosts file :
127.0.0.1 localhost
0.0.0.0 ptest
192.168.0.1 progtest.alt.za progtest
My /etc/networks file :
loopback 127.0.0.1
localnet 0.0.0.0
alt.za192.168.0.0
If anyone can shead some light on this I would be very happy. This has
been bugging me for the past two months.
Thanks,
Robert.

Where can I find the steps to do this? Is it possible to hexedit the kernel for the desired effect? Hey, Linux is a real operating system with lots of options. When you step out on the edge, you have to start reading and hacking. That's what adds spice to life :-) Use dselect and install the kernel source to match the kernel you are running. It is 6MB+ so it will take some time to download. There is a document in /usr/doc/HOWTO that tells you how to compile the kernel. Hexedit is *NOT* possible because the IP_FORWARD option adds 5K to the kernel size.

Re:tar: Skipping to next header file

Re: DEBIAN 1.2 DISKETTE PROBLEMS UPDATE
When I run dselect and attempt to connect this is what I get... Using FTP to check directories...(stop with ^C) Connecting to ftp.debian.org... Net::FTP: Bad hostname 'ftp.debian.org' at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/FTP.pm line 405 FTP ERROR This is a dns problem that means the name ftp.debian.org can not be found. I think the problem is caused by one of these errors: 1. The ethernet card is not setup correctly: bad ip address, gateway address, or connection. 2. The resolv.conf does not point to a active dns server. During the installation of the base system, you are asked where the dns server is located. Specifing the system that you are building as the dns server will not work because dns will not be setup until after bind is installed. Edit the resolv.conf and make it point to an active dns server. 3. The ip address of the dns server in resolv.conf is not correct. I hope this helps.

Re:Continued Debian Boot Problems
At 23:37 -0600 on 12/20/96, Bruce Perens wrote: I don't think this is a boot floppy problem. Under Debian 1.2, the wd driver is in a module. You should be able to remove or reconfigure that wd module by booting your system with the rescue floppy, mounting your hard disk, and editing /etc/modules or /etc/conf.modules on the mounted hard disk. You can also boot directly from the hard disk by adding the emergency command to the boot command line. Since it says loading device 'eth0', I surmise that you are running kerneld and you have /etc/conf.modules aliasing eth0 to wd. If that's not the case I don't understand how you'd get that driver, unless you built your own kernel. Thanks Bruce Bruce, I didn't explain the situation very well and I asked the wrong question. Let me try again. I couldn't get the Debian 1.2 disks dated 96-12-8 to boot because the system would hang. Your suggestion to add the boot command linux cm206=0x350 solved the problem. Because I was having troubles and my request for help had not had enough time to generate an answer, I built a 1.2 system using a set of 1.1 boot disks. Everything went very well until I tried to boot the new system. First I had to specify the boot command linux cm206=0x350 or else the system would hang just like the 96-12-8 boot disks. Once I got past that point, the system now hangs with these messages: Loading device 'eth0' wd.c:v1.10 9/23/94 .. eth0: WD80x3 at 0x300 00 00 C0 A6 D2 24 WD8003, IRQ5, shared memory at 0xb800 0-0xb9fff It should be noted that this hardware configuration was working with a 1.1 system before I started over with 1.2. Hopefully, this explaination should clarify the situation. So, the questions are: 1. Why does the ethernet driver WD hang at boot under 1.2 when it was working under 1.1? 2. Is there some interaction between the boot command linux cm206=0x350 and the hanging of the ethernet driver? 3. How do I fix it?
