[expert] DHCP SMB
Tried this on [Newbie] but got no response. I've checked the DHCP, network, and SMB How-To's and several www sites also. I've installed Mandrake Linux 6.0 on a notebook with a pc card network adapter. The local network uses DHCP and I've configured this using linuxconf. Basic network connect is working; I browsed the linuxmandrake pages, downloaded the 2.2.9-27 kernel update, searched the archives for this mail list, etc. Attempting to configure Samba, however, I get " Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host myhost.my.work.domain" ( with real host and domain name). Sure enough, "ping myhost" and " ping myhost.my.work.domain" can not determine myhost's ip address. Can't statically put it into /etc/hosts of course, since DHCP will give me a different one on a later reboot. Any advice or tips? Thanks, Karl Rasmussen

first, thank you I appreciate the help a lot. Al Smith wrote: Alain, Hi, I would recommend using the REDHAT Boot images to install the mandrake OS. Even though they are basically the sam distro.

[expert] Kernel panic cant find hd
After compiling a new kernel (2.2.12 from kernel.org) on reboot I get an error that the root file system can not be found. It looks like it can not find anything on my hd not just the root filesystem. When it is booting it lists all my ide devices and says something on the line with my hd about getting the irq latter loads ppp a couple other things and then kernel panic can't find root filesystem. I am running MDK 6.0 on a PII system with 1 IDE hd and one UW SCSI on a Adaptec 2940UW. I have made sure the root filesystem is listed in lilo, turned off scsi support to see if that helped but it did not. I have tried turning off ide-2 in the config but that made no difference either.

Re: [expert] Why are bugs not fixed ?
Harald;
I do undrestand your frustrations. When one likes something or loves
it (as we all do linux) one get frustrated to see little bugs are
lingring here and there. But we have to realize that most people who
work on linux distributions do not do it for financial rewards. It is
more a labor of love. So please be patient with these guys and do not
call them names.
How often do we get speedy bug fixes from Microsoft??
Happy linuxing.

Please stop bashing us like that, it's useless - we are currently
building all the distribution ("Mandrake based on Red Hat" is totally
outdated) and have many projects for the future release. Chmouel and
the other programmers here do a great job for the distribution, work
80 hours a week and many packages are better than in other Linux
distributions. Making a Linux distribution is a really hard work but
we improve everyday, and nevertheless, most bugs are fixed. I believe
the 6.1 release will know a great success.

I used to smell everything before I ate it, I have trouble dealing with my relationship etc. I know I am getting personal on some of you guys. Its amazing to how many of these symptoms you can relate to. Also read some of the comments.
