Re: df and ext3
This was a rather lengthy thread on the ext3-users mailing list (more than once, one thread started by me). The issue is indeed with the 'auto' fstype, and setting the fstype to 'ext3' in your /etc/fstab will fix the problem. One of the main reasons for using type 'auto' was so that if you booted from a non-ext3 kernel you'd still have access to your partition, just mounted as ext2. After botching my linux system up, I discovered that as long as fsck checks your partition and marks it clean, it doesn't matter if your fstype is ext3 or auto, it'll get mounted ok.

(RESOLVED) Re: libpcap0 question

Hash: SHA1
I finally found out how to do it (RTFMing really does work). In my
/usr/src/libpcap-0.6.2/ dir, i did
ld -o libpcap.so -shared *.o
and that produced what appears to be a working .so libpcap (as in, my
program didn't horribly complain when i started it and it appears to be
working perfectly)
I wrote a patch against the configure script and Makefile.in for
libpcap-0.6.2, which is attached to this message if anyone wants it.

and what is the difference between runlevel S and runlevel 1?
furthermore, it seems as if mounting and bringing the network up (for

/etc/init.d{mountall,networking} - at least my default

why then are they there?

Console Blanking
Is there a way to disable the console blanking? If so, how do you go about doing that? -- Curtis Hogg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I came, I saw, I deleted all your files. -- Email 1 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email 2 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW - [in transit]

Re: PCI BIOS has not enabled the device at ...
I had problems with my Linksys tulip card, having a similar error, only in my case the tulip driver told me that my card was on irq 0... do you run windows on your system as well? if so, were you in windows prior to booting into linux? and did you do a soft reset to get there? Windows screws with PCI cards, especially network cards, and linux doesn't like that very much... my problem went away after i started resetting by poweroff to clear ram and my system configuration... if i just went into linux after being in windows i didn't get my card. cold booting allowed it to find my card just fine. maybe that could be your problem. hth. -- Curtis Hogg Email 1 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email 2 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW - http://www.cyberhighway.net/~buckmins -- Irrationality is the square root of all evil -- Douglas Hofstadter -- On Fri, 9 Jun 2000, Jordan Howarth wrote: Suddenly I am not able to get network access through my ethernet card and this error ( PCI BIOS has not enabled ... ) in dmesg seems to point to the problem as it comes just prior to the ethernet card being identified. --\-- ...

telnet problems with Debian woody
A friend of mine (as am I) is running Debian 2.1 that has been dist-upgraded to woody, and while he can telnet into my machine just fine, I cannot telnet into his, the error received states- telnetd: getpty: permission denied the permissions on his ptys and ttys and so on are the same as mine. What do I need to do to fix this problem? TIA -- Curtis Hogg Email 1 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email 2 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW - http://www.cyberhighway.net/~buckmins -- UNIX Trix For those of you in the reseller business, here is a helpful tip that will save your support staff a few hours of precious time. Before you send your next machine out to an untrained client, change the permissions on /etc/passwd to 666 and make sure there is a copy somewhere on the disk. Now when they forget the root password, you can easily login as an ordinary user and correct the damage. Having a bootable tape (for larger machines) is not a bad idea either.

Re: PCI Modem
My roommate has a PCI modem as well, though it's made by ESS not Wisecom..
supposedly it's not a Winmodem, but who can really tell.
assigned to a serial device. Do the following:
1. make sure you have pciutils installed.
Check
2. run lspci -v and look for a reference to the serial controller
device. Note its IRQ and i/o port address, say, for example:
00:13.0 Serial controller: US Robotics: Unknown device 1008 (rev 01)
(prog-if 02)
Subsystem: Unknown device 12b9:00ad
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 19
I/O ports at efe0
Check, found it on IRQ 4 (?) IO Port b400
3. open /etc/rc.boot/0setserial, scrool down to MANUAL CONFIGURATION,
look at the lines for COM1 to COM4, and uncomment the line for, say,
ttyS2 and edit it to read, say, for example:
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0xefe0 irq 19
${STD_FLAGS}
Check, Windows had it on COM1, so i changed /dev/ttyS0
4. reboot.
Done, but modem still doesn't respond to anything.
Any other ideas?
