weird problem with new kernel (8000)
A friend of mine has been setting up a new box with debian to do a variety of things, we decided that we wanted to run kernel 2.2.x for various reasons but we have not beenm able to get it to boot. When we install the new kernel and _try_ to reboot it prints LILO: new Loading new 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 and so on and so on. It doesn't even reach the uncompressing kernel stage. has anyone else come accross this problem and knows what we are doing wrong? thanks, Tim. -- Tim Nicholas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let the frantic Goddess and delerious drunk cry together in shadow for the puppy's sad stare, the forest and the death of the moon.
changeing irqs on serial devices.
Hey there, On my home computer i currently have a modem and a mouse, both serial. I like haveing multiple displays how ever and since i resently came accross a dumb terminal i thought that i would connect it. So far however i have not been able to get the dumb terminal to work at the same time as the modem. This is (i think) because they are sharing an irq. The modem is currently on ttyS3 and the Dumb terminal is on ttyS1. Since the modem has hardware switches on it to change the irq i tried changeing them so that the modem was using irq 5 and then 7. with both of these changes the modem would dial (slowly) and then hang up after giving...

RTL8139
Hey there all, I have just been trying to compile a new kernel (2.2.14) but i can not find the option to add support for the rtl8139 chipset 10/100 cards. They are reltivly common and there is documentation for them with the source but not the option to select in either 'make menuconfig' or 'make config'. I am farly sure that i could use this card type in 2.2.12 and _know_ that it can be used with slinks default kernel (2.0.38?) so i should be able to use it with this. any help would be most apreciated... ps. what happened to the packages 'squake' and 'xquake'?? Thanks. Tim -- Tim Nicholas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let the frantic Goddess and delerious drunk cry together in shadow for the puppy's sad stare, the forest and the death of the moon.

Is it just me or does this not work for the root account? it doesn't worry me much since i have an alias in .bashrc which says alias cl='clear;exit' but i tryed it this way and while it worked for normal users it did not for root.

The main problem appears to be that Slashdot is a huge table, and if Netscape doesn't manage to download the *entire* front page, nothing except the top gets displayed. Most other pages aren't quite so big and complex. Normally when this happens, I find that reloading fixes it. sadly that seems not to be the case, reloading does not really help but what have noticed is that is i hit the back button then sometimes it will show the page for breif second, if i hit stop or esc then then it stays and i can read it. If i look at the source then it appears to be complet. Another friend of mine had the same problem untill he setup a proxiserver It may be that the proxy is improving the downloads. It might pay to investigate the quality of your network connection, or to try viewing at different times of the day.

Netscape and Slashdot!
Just wondering if anyone else has had problems viewing slashdot.org in linux? I know that i used to be able to see it (before i reinstalled). The problem seems to be when netscape (4.6) trys to render the html. it just doesn't. It will download all of the files but then leaves the page blank. this is the only page that i have found which does this.

Re: New windows
actually while i use and like WindowMaker i think that the look and feel of win9x is the best thing that M$ ever did.
