Re: smbfs just isn't there
Hi I'm not sure if I'm totally out here, but have u tryed apt-get install smbfs? If I do apt-cache show smbfs it gives a lot of output, here is some: Source: samba Version: 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 Replaces: smbfsx Depends: netbase (= 2.02), samba-common (= 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3), libc6 (= 2.2.5-13), libcomerr2, libkrb53, libldap2 (= 2.0.23-1) Suggests: smbclient Conflicts: smbfsx, suidmanager ( 0.50) Filename: pool/main/s/samba/smbfs_2.999+3.0.alpha20-3_i386.deb Size: 332206 MD5sum: ce57f71ab5f299476c4a01da833ab56f Description: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels = than 2.2.x) /ernst On Mon, 25 Nov 2002, Tim Verry wrote: mount -t smbfs -o username=me,password=foobar //server/share /dir/dir ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page smbmnt failed: 255 Woody with kernel 2.2.20, newest KDE, updated apache, sendmail, webmin installed, other than that pretty basic. cat /proc/filesystems reveals that there is no smbfs modprobe smbfs says can't locate module modprobe smbfs.o says can't locate module locate smbfs.o finds nothing searching Debian packages for smbfs.o gets hits on kernel images only I downloaded and installed Samba 2.2.7 and configured with ./configure --with-smbmount thinking it would put everything into place, it changed nothing except that it was looking for smb.conf in a new place so I copied it there.

I have a pentium 200, non mmx. Do I need i586 or can I use i686?

From the kernel doc, a few widely used conventions of varying relevance to the current topic : Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed - 386 for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI 486DLC/DLC2, UMC 486SX-S and NexGen Nx586. Only 386 kernels will run on a 386 class machine. - 486 for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S. - 586 for generic Pentium CPUs, possibly lacking the TSC(time stamp counter) register. - Pentium-Classic for the Intel Pentium. - Pentium-MMX for the Intel Pentium MMX. - Pentium-Pro for the Intel Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II. - Pentium-III for the Intel Pentium III and Celerons based on the Coppermine core. - Pentium-4 for the Intel Pentium 4. - K6 for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D). - Athlon for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird). - Elan for the AMD Elan family (Elan SC400/SC410). - Crusoe for the Transmeta Crusoe series. - Winchip-C6 for original IDT Winchip. - Winchip-2 for IDT Winchip 2. - Winchip-2A for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities. - CyrixIII for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.

Re: smbfs just isn't there
Nope, just installed from 3.0_r0/i386/debian-30r0-i386-binary-1.iso I've never compiled any kernels. I'm curious though how to do it if it's the answer to this problem. Hopefully then I can figure out what went wrong. I assume that it should have just been in the kernel, right? I can count on one hand the times I limped through downloading and installing something without dselect.

Re: smbfs just isn't there
i think your problem is that the kernel installed by default doesn't seem to support smbfs. if you're not completely attached to said kernel and want to join the rest of the 2.4 world, i recommend: # apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18 you may need to add a line to lilo.conf about initrd (not sure) before On Mon, Nov 25, 2002 at 04:58:38PM -0500, Tim Verry wrote: I've never compiled any kernels.

Hopefully then I can figure out what went wrong. it probably is--if you're feeling adventurous: # apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.18 the former has an excellent cmdline program make-kpkg which automates lots of the stuff and gives you a .deb package you can install with dpkg, and the latter is the actual source tree. i'd recommend reading up on the docs for both. hth sean I assume that it should have just been in the kernel, right?

Would there be any harm in just acquiring this file and throwing it in there? if you can get the file from the 2.2.20 kernel there wouldn't be much harm, you would probably have to load it via insmod -f smbfs.o (to force it). But being that they are the same version of kernel, idepci is only a small patch, it shouldn't cause any serious problems. I would reccomend compilign a kernel from scratch if possible, but its not a big deal. something you can try: download the kernel-image-2.2.20 deb file from packages.debian.org, then run it through alien to convert it to tar/gz (alien -t), then extract it somewhere safe like /tmp and copy the smbfs.o module over, then try to force load it as above. good luck nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
