Re: bo-->hamm: 'iso9660 not supported'
john, thanks for your patience and your help. purged ppp-2.3.5 and downgraded to ppp-2.2.0f...so i'm once again happily SLiRPing along. i had tried just downgrading without purging the newer version but got the same behavior from 2.2 as 2.3 as long as 2.3 was on the system. --c [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > SIOCADDRT: Operation not supported by device > > > why would i get this? can add/del default route for ppp0 fine on machine > > running an older version of linux and ppp > > pppd creates the interface when it starts ppp and deletes it when it exits. > What you need to do is put a route command in ip-up delete the default > route to your ethernet and one to restore it in ip-down, or, if you don't > need a default route to the ethernet (you probably don't), edit the > appropriate init script so it never gets created. > > > i'll check into it. > > Perhaps you could try downgrading to pppd-2.2? > -- > John Hasler > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) > Dancing Horse Hill > Elmwood, WI -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Re: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
i had the same thing happen and i had selected to upgrade emacs to 20.xx...made a mess. it was the only really broken package. had been wanting to check out xemacs so ended up purging emacs and installing xemacs-20.whatever and like it. anyway, suspect you will need to purge emacs and do a clean install. i had to abandon dselect and use dpkg to remove emacs, then ftp'd xemacs packages and used dpkg to install them. best--c On Wed, 8 Jul 1998, Edward J.

Re: REPOST: Diald routing (Help!)
i'm having the same problem with slirp/ppp connection (connection gets dropped). pon scripts log in OK and slirp starts up but LCP negotiation fails with error message "No Network Protocols Running" tried disabling 'defaultroute' and adding the default route myself before running pon, but doing 'route add default ppp0' results in message: SIOCADDRT: Operation not supported by device on another machine running an older version of linux (1.2/2.0.27) and older version of ppp (2.2.0f) adding and deleting the default route with 'route add/del default ppp0' works as it should and updates the routing table. any ideas about what's causing the error message above?

bo-->hamm: 'iso9660 not supported'
upgraded from bo to hamm on a pentium/166, no problem. compiled kernel 2.0.34 + modules...everything installed OK. but now can't mount cdrom even though cdrom support is built into the kernel and bios identifies cdrom as /dev/hdc during boot (worked fine under bo)...get following error message: mount: fs type iso9660 not supported by kernel while configuring the kernel i saw no option to choose iso9660 support ...did i miss something? [menuconfig came up in b&w instead of color (not that i care)...just weird.] also, ps2 mouse doesn't work as a module, only if it is built into the kernel...is this peculiar to my system or generally the case...just curious...related to this...why do i get the following during boot regardless of whether device support is built-in or selected as module: cdrom: can't locate module cdrom psaux: can't locate module psaux serial: can't locate module serial in the case of the mouse and serial ports doesn't seem to affect function and they are correctly configured during boot process later on also, ppp is broken again. every time i upgrade it breaks existing scripts. EXTREMELY aggravating. is there good reason why this happens? tried both old ppp-on script and new scripts configured with pppconfig...get the same results. what was a perfectly healthy slirp/ppp connection now fails during LCP negotiations. plog reports: send (slirp -P -b 115200^M) serial connection established using interface ppp0 pppd[230]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 begins LCP process, then fails about halfway through with: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "No Network protocols running"] rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] # 170.140.110.193 is the correct remote IP address # pppd[230]: rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x1] pppd[230]: rcvd [LCP TermAck id=0x2] pppd[230]: Connection terminated. pppd[230]: Hangup (SIGHUP) pppd[230]: Exit. i obviously need a ppp/chatscript tutor.

Use plog to see this. the string being passed by the script (which i borrowed from the PPP-HOWTO included a /r -- '/rAT' -- the modem in the 486 had no problem with the return. but, both the gdc and the us robotics (on the pentium) did. i removed the 'r' and... voila. funny. had ruled out the script because it "worked" and had been "tested." duh. thanks, ed--c -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

serial troubles
have included serial support in the kernel and on bootup shows serial devices being assigned to /dev/cua0 /dev/cua1 and /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 but 'cat /proc/interrupts' shows no serial devices at IRQ 3 & 4. can dialout fine from minicom but ppp script fails (can't initialize the modem). same scripts run fine on a 486 which reports serial devices appropriately on reading /proc/interrupts. system with the problem is a pentium 166mhz; (asus txp4 MB). thanks in advance for any assistance best--c -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Re: Linux & Compaq servers?
don't have a server model in mind. situation is this. we (public domain, inc. --pd) have been providing internet access to other nonprofits and individual artists for the past seven years on a sun 4/280 running sun OS 4.1.1. we now need to replace the sun -- which btw has run reliably 24/7 for all these years and only rarely required a reboot -- can't imagine running anything but a 'unix' OS. anyway, we have long been supporters of free software/gnu/open source. having looked over all the options we find we are most closely aligned philosophically with debian/GNU. i've already installed debian on a 486 and pentium/166 and with the exception of some choking on an onboard aic6160 scsi chip (append statements in LILO brought no joy) all's well and i'm looking forward to upgrading to the 2.0beta. my interest in compaq is in trying to find a hardware DONOR. i'm looking for a company with a corporate giving program that will understand the proposal i'm writing explaining our decision to go with Linux. someone mentioned to me (off this group) that compaq might be approachable. suggestion was that they were either shipping boxes with linux pre-installed or shipping boxes without an OS on which unix/linux could be installed. i am looking for clarification on compatibility between debian linux and compaq servers and on compaq's attitude toward linux in general so i'll know what kind of spin to put in the proposal, or whether its even worthwhile putting something in front of them at all. if anyone happens to know of a company thats particularly linux friendly, please let me know. pd is a 501-(c)-3 so all donations are, of course, tax deductible. please visit us at www.pd.org. thanks for the response, OK. -c- On Thu, 25 Jun 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, Chea > > On Wed, 24 Jun 1998, Chea Prince wrote: > > > > > is Compaq shipping servers with Linux installed? is there an article > > somewhere outlining Compaq + Linux? > > > > what kind of server(s) are you interesting in? > > we just installed rh 5.1 (sorry, debian) on 2CPU > Compaq Proliant 2500.
