Install mdadm (apt-get or aptitude) if you don't have it already. Plug in the drive. Check /proc/mdstat to see if anything is being mounted. If so, you have a /dev/mdX filesystem available to you now. If not, you want to investigate the partitions: mdadm -Q /dev/sdb1 (and the same for the other partitions) Do you have all the partitions that were part of a RAID set? If so, you can assemble them: mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2... or something similar. If you don't have needed partitions, you may not be able to get anything. You may be able to reassemble a partial set of a RAID1 or RAID5 set. -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference.

Re: Setting Video Card
Dear Madams Sirs Thanks Benjamin Schmidt for your advice. I have been spent about ten hours looking through documentation and trying things but to no avail. hwinfo told me that I had a Cirrus Lorgic GD5446 card but xdebconfigurator did not use it. Instead it used a SiS card and X failed to load. Stephen Grant Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Kernel Headers
Hi All, I would love to go the Debian way but I need the 2.6.11.7 kernel to connect to a usb drive which I cannot get going with a Debian precompiled kernel. Thanks for all your help. PS The only program I really want to use is faubackup to back up onto the usb drive. I have been able to compile the 2.6.11.7 kernel with usable usb drivers but the faubackup program does not use symlinks on this drive. make-kpkg kernel_source does not produce a .deb package. I have produced a kernel binary .deb package. How do I install that?

If it is RTFM, which one do I read and where do I find it? I agree with the other poster. If you installed the kernel The Debian Way(tm), then the modules would load properly. Install the kernel-package package and follow those instructions and the kernel should install fine. My guess about not loading the kernel modules is that the module-init-tools package is not installed which the kernel-package will install automatically. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

faubackup 0.5.8
Hi All, I have gone from Debian stable to Debian unstable, downloaded faubachup 0.5.8, which updated libc etc when I did apt-get install faubackup. I have also downloaded the 2.6.11.7 Linux tarball, run make-kpkg binary, installed and are running the resulting kernel. The 2.4 series of kernels do not seem the recognize the USB drive /dev/sda1. When running faubackup onto the external USB hard drive, I get complete copies of the files instead of hard syslinks to the files already backup up. Can anybody suggest what is going on?

Kernel Headers
Hi All, This project has been on the backburner for about the last six months. I brought an external disk drive to save backups onto to. Stable Debian Linux cannot see the external disk drive. The RIP CD can. I copied the kernel and modules from the RIP CD into Debian Linux and then rebooted Debian Linux with the new kernel. I also installed faubackup onto Debian Linux which stores the full file again instead of symbolic links onto the backup drive. I got the latest tarball of faubackup and installed it. Same deal. Got tarball of Linux Kernel 2.6.11.7, and compilled and installed it. Modules do not work. Tried to re-install tarball of faubackup but it fails too. How do I correctly install the Linux Kernel tarball, the faubackup tarball and the correct header files? If it is RTFM, which one do I read and where do I find it? Thanks in advance for your help?
