You might try to boot the rescue floppy, mount the / and /lib partitions somewhere nad copy the whole /lib partition back on / ... As a side note, if you absolutely want to spread your linux filesystem across several partitions, use one partition for /usr (usually BIG) and one for /home, but leave the rest on the root partition (you might want to symlink /var to /usr/var, though). -- Daniel

[expert] new kernel problems
Houston we have a problem.. I was running mandrake 5.3 with the 2.0.36-3 kernel. Mandrake posted their rpms of the 2.2.5-5mdk kernel. So I downloaded and rpmed(is rpmed a word?) them onto my system(PII laptop) and rebooted. Now I can't mount my zip drive any more. When I enter " insmod imm " to load the imm driver I get these messages.. /lib/modules/2.2.5-ac3-5mdk/scsi/imm.o unresolved symbol paraport_enumerate_Ra08a182e /lib/modules/2.2.5-ac3-5mdk/scsi/imm.o unresolved symbol paraport_register_device_R222e5e8a /lib/modules/2.2.5-ac3-5mdk/scsi/imm.o unresolved symbol paraport_unregister_device_R9e40d88c /lib/modules/2.2.5-ac3-5mdk/scsi/imm.o unresolved symbol paraport_release_Reaf89ded /lib/modules/2.2.5-ac3-5mdk/scsi/imm.o unresolved symbol paraport_claim_R5430b1bb The other thing I have noticed is that my system seems to load and unload programs more slowly than it did before. I had my zip drive working under the 2.0.36-3 kernel. Did I do something wrong in the upgrade? Did I load the rpms in the wrong order ? is that possible? Am I crazy for upgrading ? Anybody have any ideas? Anybody out there ?

[expert] Problem with booting off multiple partitions...
OK, I'm using kernel version 2.2.25 and have plugged in another hard drive and partitioned it so I can move /var, /lib, etc.. off of the main drive, giving me back some precious disk space (my Linux drive is only 500 megs). I made the boot and rescue disks "just in case," and properly mounted /var and /lib, as well as /opt, on the other drive. The problem is, I cannot boot because obviously local filesystems are not mounting yet when Linux needs access to /var. Any way to force a mount on this partition via lilo.conf? The kernel gives me an error message about "kernel panic - no arguments passed to init" or words to that effect. Any ideas? Thanks! Paul +---+ Paul A.

From looking at the backups, the whole thing is around 30M of download. Not TOO bad. Of course, you probably don't need to grab ALL of them if you're not interested in running GNOME. If you just want to be able to compile glib/gtk+ programs, you could probably get away with downloading the glib-1.2, glib10, gtk+-1.2, gtk+10 and the appropriate -devel packages.

[expert] Network unreachable
I've got a very strange problem with an 3com 905B Ethernet card (Boomrang) : The network connections starts to work fine, but stop after a while. (a ping or a route tells me that the "Network is unreachable" !) Then, in order to make the network connection work again, I have to reboot the machine, which launch again the network services... The network connection is completly stoped : a ping from another machine don't reach my linux box ! Please help me ! Pleeeaase ! I'm getting mad...
