Subject:RE: Latest rescue disk locks up Thinkpad

I have just manage to boot and load the base system (debian 1.2) on a 
ThinkPad 760E, which doesn't boot from standard rescue floppy.

I build a zImage (2.0.27) and replace the linux on the rescue floppy
with it. Then I mounted /dev/fd0 on /mnt and did
rdev /mnt/linux /dev/ram

I did the exact same thing with a 2.0.30 kernel, but with less 
success.  It gets past
the loading linux .. line and actually boots the kernel, but then 
the kernel gets a
panic being unable to load the root filesystem from 0x0100.

Latest rescue disk locks up Thinkpad

1997-05-16 Thread Carpenter, Dean \(MS Mail\)
I tried installing frozen on an IBM Thinkpad 760E last night - no
success.  
The rescue disk would boot, load root.bin then linix.bin? and lock up
after
a bunch of "loading dots".  Locked up tight - cold boot time.

Tried adding floppy=thinkpad to the boot line, no joy.  Something in
2.0.30 perhaps ?

I haven't verified it, but I recall that rex (2.0.27?) was able to boot
and install
without any special parameters.

Frozen not really frozen ?

1997-05-15 Thread Carpenter, Dean \(MS Mail\)
I thought frozen was supposed to be, well, frozen.  

Why is it that every day there are a bunch of replacements going on in
that tree ?  Actually, there seem to have been more bo/frozen changes in
the last few days than there have been in hamm/unstable :)

RE: Frozen - couple of gotchas

1997-05-05 Thread Carpenter, Dean \(MS Mail\)
Dang it.  Looks like debian.crosslink.net isn't a complete mirror.
Using the 
same script against ftp.debian.org it wants to download another 227 meg
!

When I look at the file list from each site, ftp.debian.org has
everything
where it should, while debian.crosslink.net is missing a lot of stuff
...

I hate to use the master to update my mirror - what other sites are
truly
*guaranteed* to be complete ?

RE: Linux in an NT domain

Yup - I think it's called smb-NT-verify.1.1.tar.gz.  I don't remember 
exactly where I got it, but here's the authors name from the 
nt-linux.readme file ...

Subject:Linux in an NT domain

Does anyone know if Debian has packaged the package which allows a 
Linux
box to participate in an NT domain?  I read somewhere once that such 
a
package exists, but am very vague as to the details of what it did.

NB: it's not samba, it's do with sharing the user-space/passwords 
etc.

Any ideas?
