failed to load kernel modules at boot
Hey everyone, I'm getting failed to load kernel modules at boot. I have two questions. 1. Do I need to do load or compile any of the kernel modules during the kernel compiling process? Here are my steps that I use: tar -xJvf linuxX.X.tar.xz cd linux-x.x make clean && make mrproper cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config make localmodconfig make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers sudo dpkg -i debs 2. Any suggestions on how to force the kernel modules load during boot? I did a Google search on this subject and I followed the instruction and no luck. Thanks for any suggestions in advance HP Garcia -- HP Garcia, Photographer www.HPGPhotography.com

Iirc, you do not need to do anything special, just setup the raid in the installer, install the system and let the installer setup grub2. The stuff about /boot is for users with grub1 or other bootloaders not capable to boot directly from mdadm-volumes (or lvm or whatever). Another situation where you have to think about /boot is if your going to encrypt your root using cryptsetup. Afaik you even should even be able to use LVM on raid without much trouble, but i never actually tried to do that.

ISO image kernel replace
Title: Message Hi all, I downloaded an ISO-install-image for the hppa-architecture. Now i have the problem, that the kernel in this image is the 2.4.17 an does net yet support USB. But my workstation has only USB-connectors. There is an other image already with a kernel, that supports the usb but does not yet have any X-server related files in it. Now i wanna know, if it is possible to merge both iso images. SO, that my one iso image with all the packages gets the new kernel. I tried already to use WinIso: deleted all kernel files and then copy the new kernel files to the image. But when trying to boot from the cd, i receive an error telling me that this cd is not bootable. Anybody knows how to do this, to make a cd bootable? Kind Regards, Philipp

Hello
There has got to be a better way. I'm sure some doc, somewhere explains why
the jigdo I downloaded doesn't work, but who can spend the time wading
through all that. Many of us here at HP would really like to see Debian
replace the commercial versions of Linux, but the download and installation
interfaces need to work for everybody, not just the in-crowd.
Ok, insult me now if that's what you want to do, but this is what I did, and
it did not work. I download stuff all the time, so why does Debian have to
be hard ?
1. downloaded, unziped, and read README.txt for i386 jigdo.lite.
2. followed instructions for dealing with a proxy:
Making jigdo-lite use your proxy
To make jigdo-lite use your proxy for its downloads, first
double-click on "jigdo-lite.bat" to start the program. As soon as the
input prompt has appeared, abort the program again and close the
command window.
You will find that jigdo-lite has created a file called
"jigdo-lite-settings.txt" in the same directory as this README.txt
file. Load this into an editor and find the line that starts with
"wgetOpts". The following switches can be added to the line:
-e ftp_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
-e http_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
--proxy-user=USER
--proxy-passwd=PASSWORD
***This is way to terse. I think you mean replace //LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
with something but you need to show the exact syntax - I took a guess and
put in what is in my Iexplorer proxy page **
3. tried starting jigdo-lite.bat both on the command line and by clicking
its icon in Explorer.
There was no jigdo-lite-settings.txt
4. tried to contact a jigdo URL anyway, using what I guess is a jigdo
URL/file, and got the followin in jigdo-lite-settings.txt which looks more
like some sort of log file:
jigdo='http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-
jigdo'
debianMirror=''
nonusMirror=''
tmpDir='.'
jigdoOpts='--cache jigdo-file-cache.db'
wgetOpts='--passive-ftp --dot-style=mega --continue --timeout=30'
scanMenu=''
5. So I added the proxy statemnts and the jigdo-lite-settings.txt file
looks like:
jigdo='http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-
1.ji
gdo'
debianMirror=''
nonusMirror=''
tmpDir='.'
jigdoOpts='--cache jigdo-file-cache.db'
wgetOpts='--passive-ftp --dot-style=mega --continue --timeout=30 -e
ftp_proxy=ht
tp:web-proxy:8088 -e http_proxy=http:web-proxy:8088 --proxy-user=vxtee
proxy-pa
sswd='
scanMenu=''
And I got back:

Press any key to continue . . .
6. Next I tried to download the jigdo for Linux and got
jigdo-bin-0.7.0.tar.tar file. I've never seen a tar.tar file before.
Changed the last tar to gz but gzip said it wasn't a gzip file. Looked at
the web page and it actually has a bz2 extension, but gzip doesn't like that
either.
7. So much for jigdo.

Debian Install fails to bring up X windows
Hello, I have created distribution cd's for 2.2_r4 - lists from UK, bits from ftp.us.debian.org and rsync via archive.progeny.com and appear to have a successful build. I am trying to install on an Omnibook 6100 (hp) and have also tried a vectra ( desktop 386) and am having errors on a number of packages listed - some of which resolve on an update from the same media - Biggest issue is that it fails to bring up X with X11TransSocketConnectUNIX error=111 after choosing an X server (you get two stabs at it first is a 16 and the a SVGA) I have tried all kinds of sync rates (listed at 75hz ) with no success either on the desktop (elsaGL II) or the laptop (ati Rage Mobility). I am on my 11th attemppt and appear no closer to resolution. Any ideas Dick Nicholson HP [EMAIL PROTECTED] 630-724-5313
How to create a linux cd with graphic support.
Hi, I want create a bootable cd with graphical support, but exist many questions. * The CD need run in various video adapters with the resolution 800x600 pixels, how to detect the video adapter or exist a generic video adapter? * Because the support to unicode i need use Xfree 4.1.0 but it's very large, how can reduce his size? * Probably are necessary two or more cd, how make of exchange cd while the application is running? * Which compression method is better or strategy to storage the cd data? Thank for any help me.
Questions about make a boot CD with Debian.
I have used Debian to create a Boot CD. I've used two approaches: * Create a CD with boot sector in Linux, but the lilo program didn't recognize a root=/dev/hdc, resulting the error: FATAL: Not a number: /dev/hdc. My lilo.conf is: lba32 read-only vga=normal image=/vmlinuz ramdisk=49152 root=/dev/hdc * Create a CD with boot DOS and using loadlin to load Linux. I try use loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd, but the loader program always enter in /dev/hda1. I have read a Bootdisk-Howto and Loadlin manual and not discovery the problem. I have the Debian 2.2 (potato), loadlin 1.6, lilo 21.7-5 and yard. Any help welcome. Giovani Perotto Mesquita [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Samba: Can't Rename the Log File
You might try running testparm and verifying that samba is actually using the smb.conf file you believe it is using; look at the output from testparm and make sure that it is recognizing the log file entry you have placed there.

Hi palme, I don't know anything about the debian distribution, but just to make sure that this isn't some issue with debian standard log directory, and log rollover, or wierd permission issues, maybe you could try this; create a directory called /sambalog and open it wide up; chmod 777 /sambalog Then change your log file entry in smb.conf to be log file = /sambalog/log.%m and see if you still get the problem with samba not being able to rename the logfiles...
