Lots of discussions and solutions from google, for example: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Linux_Setup/Q_10047032.html Yeilds this: Try booting with linux append="hda=xx,xx,xx" (where the xx's denote C(ylinders),H(eads),S(ectors per track). Once you've booted up and Lilo knows the geometry of your drive, put a permanent line in /etc/lilo.conf (the same append statement without the word linux) & re-rerun /sbin/lilo. Next time you boot it should be able to boot off hda2. A better solution of course would be to simply reinstall Lilo to the MBR - it will boot '95 just fine, but try the above if you don't want to go that route. As well as this: On my system: /usr/doc/lilo-0.19-1/README I'll paste some relevant parts here: When LILO loads itself, it displays the word "LILO". Each letter is printed before or after performing some specific action. If LILO fails at some point, the letters printed so far can be used to identify the problem. This is described in more detail in the technical overview. [snip] L ... The first stage boot loader has been loaded and started, but it can't load the second stage boot loader. The two-digit error codes indicate the type of problem. (See also section "Disk error codes".) This condition usually indicates a media failure or a geometry mismatch (e.g. bad disk parameters, see section "Disk geometry"). What exactly have you got in the MBR, btw? ;-) = [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.charleshbaker.com/~chb/ Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

I have needed this on 2.4.18-686 and 2.4.18-686-smp .
I also needed it on whatever the first 2.4.x (2.4.16?)
kernel, and any in between that one and 2.4.18, was to
be included with woody when it was still testing and
not stable.

I continued on my google search and found this page:
http://www.opendeveloper.org/PHP/HowTo/Upgrading_From_PHP3_to_PHP4/
Which indicated that the line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
should be commented out and instead use a line like
so:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3
This works. Once again, google and the web prove

Contact > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Ping is ICMP protocol. Web servers use http protocol. Pinging that name first uses DNS ( either UDP or TCP ) to resolve that name to a number. So unless you took down the box, or disconnected it from the 'net, of course ping will work. Ping doesn't care about the fact that you no longer have a web server listening on port 80. Some implementations of traceroute use icmp, so that's why it works too. Even if you "killed" the domain name to IP address mapping, it could take a couple of days for it to be flushed from various DNS servers around the 'net. = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

Per host prox ies can also be specified by using the form http::Proxy:: with the special keyword DIRECT meaning to use no proxies. The http_proxy environ ment variable will override all settings. Three settings are provided for cache control with HTTP/1.1 complient proxy caches. No-Cache tells the proxy to not used its cached response under any circumstances, Max-Age is sent only for index files and tells the cache to refresh its object if it is older than the given number of seconds. Debian updates its index files daily so the default is 1 day. No-Store specifies that the cache should never store this request, it is only set for archive files. This may be useful to prevent polluting a proxy cache with very large .deb files. Note: Squid 2.0.2 does not support any of these options. The option timeout sets the timeout timer used by the method, this applies to all things including connection timeout and data timeout. One setting is provided to control the pipeline depth in cases where the remote server is not RFC conforming or buggy (such as Squid 2.0.2) Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth can be a value from 0 to 5 indicating how many outstanding requests APT should send. A value of zero MUST be specified if the remote host does not properly linger on TCP connections - otherwise data corruption will occur. Hosts which require this are in violation of RFC 2068. ftpFTP URIs; ftp::Proxy is the default proxy server to use. It is in thestandard formof ftp://[[user][:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port]/ and is overriden by the ftp_proxy environment variable. To use a ftp proxy you will have to set the ftp::ProxyLogin script in the configuration file. This entry speci fies the commands to send to tell the proxy server what to connect to. Please see /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz for an example of how to do this. The subsitution vari ables available are $(PROXY_USER), $(PROXY_PASS), $(SITE_USER),$(SITE_PASS), $(SITE), and $(SITE_PORT). Each is taken from it's respective URI component. The option timeout sets the timeout timer used by the method, this applies to all things including connection timeout and data timeout. Several settings are provided to control passive mode. Generally it is safe to leave passive mode on, it works in nearly every environment. However some situations require that passive mode be dis abled and port mode ftp used instead. This can be done globally, for connections that go through a proxy or for a specific host (See the sample config file for examples) It is possible to proxy FTP over HTTP by setting the ftp_proxy environment variable to a http url - see the discussion of the http method above for syntax. You cannot set this in the configuration file and it is not recommended to use FTP over HTTP due to its low efficiency. The setting ForceExtended controls the use of

Wireless VPN and Debian
Back in the Feb. issue of LinuxJournal this year, Don Marti wrote an article on Wireless networking and vpn. He used Debian and vpnd for his article. The article was not exactly a step by step thing, just enough to get one started. For example: "At this point you should be able to ping the base station's virtual address (10.3.0.1 in this case) from the client, and vice versa. If not, check the logs for vpnd errors, and use ifconfig and route at both ends to make sure the IP address and routing information are correct." But what is correct? I've got vpnd working on my base and client and the wifi cards. I can ping both the vpn and wifi from the client to the base. I know I don't have IPMasquerade set up correctly as the laptop cannot access the internet. My base station and laptop are running debian sid, with kernel 2.4.18 and iptables and the default debian ipmasq set up. Now here's the wrinkle. My base is behind a lrp firewall box that runs dnscache and dhcpd etc. So let's try a little ascii art: internet<->cableModem ^ | V lrp(192.168.1.254) ^ | hub | V debianWAPBase/VPNDBase ^ | V debianLaptop wlan is 10.2.0.0/16 network vpn is 10.3.0.0/16 network My main questions is what kind of rules need to be on the debianWAPBase and debianLaptop to make all traffic flow through vpn? Has anyone else tried this? Got suggestions or insight? I've been reading the VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO but haven't got it all figured out obviously. Will I need dns on the WAPBase to server the wireless network? Or will the wireless network be able to get dns from the dnscache on the lrp box? = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

We'll be using WindowMaker and Xfce as our primary windowmanagers. I'm not trying to start a religious war, just need info. Also, since Debian's default run level is 2, is there any compelling reason to make the graphical login be part of a different run level? = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

postgresql upgrade problem
After postgresql was kept back on both an upgrade and a dist-upgrade, I tried an install. This is the result: twin:/etc/apt# apt-get install postgresql Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.

kernel-2.4.18-686-image and pcmcia
I did an apt-get install of kernel-2.4.18-686 on my Dell Latitude yesterday. Everything looked good, but when I rebooted into 2.4.18, I had no pcmcia network connection. A little investigation showed that the pcmcia modules were installed to /lib/modules/kernel-pcmcia-2.4.18-686 instead of /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/pcmcia as was the case w/ 2.4.17 ? What's up with that? I made a symlink in /lib/modules/2.4.18 called pcmcia that points to /lib/modules/kernel-pcmcia-2.4.18-686 , but that didn't work. Also, booting 2.4.17 says "cramfs wrong magic", but it boots. I just rebooted to 2.4.18, no wrong magic error, but did get ``ds: no socket drivers loaded!'' Under the 2.4.17, lsmod shows yenta_socket and af_packet loaded. I really don't know what either of those modules do, can someone shed some light before I dive into the module source? Under 2.4.18, af_packet is loaded, but not yenta, and af is unused. BTW, I do have a xircom pcmcia ethernet card. = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

apm strangeness
I had kernel-2.4.17-686-image running just fine w/ apm support on my Dell Latitude. I think it's very nice of the package maintainers to include that, btw. I have the line append="apm=on" in my lilo.conf. Yesterday I installed kernel-2.4.18-686-image. Now when booting back into 2.4.17, wmbattery won't start. I tried starting it on the command line, and it says no apm support in the kernel. I also have apmd installed. One of the early lines in /etc/init.d/apmd runs /usr/lib/apmd/ampd/apm_exists , which I assume must return a boolean value or non-zero or something or else the script exits. An even earlier line looks for the existance of /usr/sbin/apmd or cause the script to exit. Both of those files exist, what is going on here? If I run apm_exists from the command line I get nada. Can anyone point in the right direction to solve this? Why would it work before installing 2.4.18? I also did an dist-upgrade yesterday. TIA = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

Swap space
I'm about to install sid, using unoffical iso's, on a machine w/ 384MB of RAM. Old rule of thumb was 2*RAM-SIZE = SWAP-SIZE . Do I really need 768MB of swap space?!?!?! Plus, since the install uses 2.2.20 kernel, will it be able to handle a swap space larger than 128MB? = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

I looked at cvs book and realized that it was a branch. It just wasn't what I'd expected to see on initial import.

cvs question
Are there any cvs guru's on the list? I had some files that had previously been checked into cvs. There were also some files in the same project which had not been checked in ever. I moved the source to a different machine where I had set up a new repository. I edited the headers of the files that had been checked in before, deleting the expanded $ID$ information. I then proceeded to do a standard ``cvs import`` of my project. I then checked it out to see if all was well. The $Id$ keyword had expanded w/ a revision number of 1.1.1.1 in all files, indicating a CVS branch. Can anyone tell me why? I was really expecting just 1.1 . Oh, I did try to import this project before setting $CVSROOT, but the import failed, and if cvs didn't know what root, how could that have created extraneous revision info? If this is not deemed appropriate for the list, please direct me to some other list or newsgroup, or we can discuss it "offline". = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"

I've just been having problems on a laptop that started life as potato (2.2.x kernel) and was dist-upgraded to woody and then sid. I had been trying to install a 2.4.x kernel from the standard debian packages and at first stumbled over the initrd stuff and then had problems w/ modules. Since I'm at home today caring for a sick child, I will go over the modules and their configuration again and the diffs between using a 2.2.x kernel and the 2.4.x kernels.

I've been down this road on the list before with no relief. I've been too busy doing some other stuff to go on a "I've got to make this 2.4.x kernel work" type binge, especially since my 2.2.x kernel is working nicely.

X11/Xlib.h X11/xpm.h
I just found this neat little doc app for windowmaker called wmfortune. I tried to compile it, but it can't find these include files: X11/Xlib.h X11/xpm.h . What packages do I need to install to get these include files and presumably their implementations? I checked and wmfortune is not an official deb package.

bugzilla in sid/unstable
I tried to install buzilla on my sid/unstable machine via `apt-get install buzilla` and it seemed as if all was going fine until I got a message "Preconfiguring packages..."
