[expert] Mandrake PPC Powerbook NIC problem
I finally got around to loading Mandrake PPC 8.0 on my powerbook. The model is a Powerbook G3 250Mhz Wallstreet w/ 13" display. First I was having a problem with the video which I solved by setting kernel arguments video=vesa vga=0x317 in the bootx program. Second I noticed eth0 never initialized, it detected it and installed the bmac module for it but I cannot get the interface up at all. I have tried to use dhcp and a static address, and I checked /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network and everything looks just like it should. Has anyone seen this, or does anyone have any idea how I can correct the problem? I love the way the OS performs on this machine, but it would be a shame not to be able to use it on the network. thanks

Re: [expert] CD not working any more???
Hi, I don't know the difference between kernel-source-2.4.13-2mdk.i586.rpm and kernel-2.4.13-2mdk.src.rpm, I didn't look at their content list. I just know that after installing the the ...src.rpm I didn't have anything new under /usr/src/ as expected but I did after installing 'kernel-headers' and 'kernel-sources'. I think the right steps to recompile (under X Windows and as root) are: cd /usr/src ls -l (check /usr/src/linux points to your brand new 2.4.13) cd linux make mrproper make xconfig (here is where you customize your kernel, it can take you a long time) make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.13-mdk-new. Then go to /etc/lilo.conf add something like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.13-2mdk-new label=newlinux root=/dev/hde6 <- change to your root partition read-only optional vga=788 append="devfs=mount quiet" And change default=newlinux and ensure timeout is enough for you to change your mind... timeout=100 Save the changes a do: lilo And reboot your new kernel! If something goes wrong reboot again but choose 'linux' instead of 'newlinux' at lilo. Please, correct me if some step is wrong.

Re: [expert] Help! devfs related? Strange behaviour of 8.1
Does 8.1 install with DevFs? If so, could this be the problem I am having with trying to install Mandrake, and telling it to use disks 2 and 3, but when it tries to eject the CD, it just locks? (I never had this problem with 8.0) And if so, is there a way to turn of the devfs when installing Mandrake 8.1, or do I have to (what I did to get 8.1) install just the install CD, then install any other packages with Software Manager (or RPM in the console) On Friday 02 November 2001 01:15 am, you wrote: > On Fri, 2 Nov 2001 10:08:25 +0530 > > A quick fix for this until the problems being which are being caused by > devfs on some systems have been sorted out is to edit the append line > in /etc/lilo.conf > Change the entry devfs=mount to devfs=nomount > And run lilo. > This will turn off devfs and all your drives will now mount in the same > manner as in 8.0 > > Devfs, per say, is a good structure but there are problems with certain > system and hardware configs which were not encountered during its testing. -- Leif Madsen - Project Manager http://www.plannettechnologies.com Plan-Net Technologies Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] Physical memory calculation in Linux
Hi, As people have written, you might want to add mem=1024M to the lilo.conf file (don't forget to run lilo aferwards!). The kernel configuration option is: High Memory support CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems. However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called "high memory". If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB" split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as possible. If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then answer "4GB" here. >From the Linux FAQ: 1.8. Minimum and Maximum Memory Requirements. At least 4MB, and then you will need to use special installation procedures until the disk swap space is installed. Linux will run comfortably in 4MB of RAM, although running GUI apps is impractically slow because they need to swap out to disk. Some applications, like StarOffice, require 32 MB of physical memory, and compiling C++ code can easily consume over 100 MB of combined physical and virtual memory. There is a distribution, ``Small Linux,'' that will run on machines with 2MB of RAM. Refer to the answer to: ``Where Are the Linux FTP Archives?'' A number of people have asked how to address more than 64 MB of memory, which is the default upper limit in most standard kernels. Either type, at the BOOT lilo: prompt: mem=XXM Or place the following in your /etc/lilo.conf file: append="mem=XXM" The parameter ``XXM'' is the amount of memory, specified as megabytes; for example, ``128M.'' If an ``append='' directive with other configuration options already exists in /etc/lilo.conf, then add the mem= directive to the end of the existing argument, and separated from the previous arguments by a space; e.g.: # Example only; do not use. append="parport=0x3bc,none serial=0x3f8,4 mem=XXM" Be sure to run the ``lilo'' command to install the new configuration. If Linux still doesn't recognize the extra memory, the kernel may need additional configuration. Refer to the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/memory.txt file in the kernel source as a start. For further information about LILO, refer to the manual pages for lilo and lilo.conf, the documentation in /usr/doc/lilo, and the answer for: ``Boot-Time Configuration.'', below. . >From the Linux FAQ: 1.8.

Re: [expert] cable modem question
Good question Todd... don't let people make sweeping comments which are not backed up... I have a LinkSys BEFSR41 (4port/1wan) which works quite well; never a problem. The other day, I upgraded the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised to find that unlike most TFTP upgradable boxes, this one can be uploaded via a TFTP client "put" rather than needing to install a TFTP server. BTW, the upgrade did not require me to touch the box physically, so it's great if you need to locate it remotely and still maintain its s/w. The latest software now has the ability to log all connections/attempts (see who's knocking at the door) to a log server (as well as maintain a short internal list). For details on setting up your Linux box to accept these log entries, visit my site at http://pfortin.com/Linux/LinkSys/ HTH, Pierre PS: I finally retired my Cisco router which used to be my firewall when I got the LinkSys (small, quiet, fast and reliable).

[expert] Physical memory calculation in Linux
Hi, I would like to understand what is the calculation that Linux makes to say how much memory does the system have as it is a lot less that the BIOS and Windows says. I have just upgraded to 1GB (2x256 +1x512) and this are the results: Win98 (only boots in failsafe mode, otherwise it reboots by itself) ->1024MB RAM W2000 -> 1048.028KB RAM BIOS -> 1048576KB RAM (Memory test) Linux (it depens where you look) >From 896MB to 921MB I know 1 KB should be 1024 bytes , and 1MB should be 1024 x 1024, so 1GB is 1024³= 1073741824 = 1048576K (so the BIOS seems right). 1) Is linux detecting problems in my memory and discounting the 'bad memory' part? I haven't detected any error message. 2) How is the calculation being made? Thanks in advance! Jose Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

gftp-2.0.8-1mdk.i586.rpm (not gftp-2.0.8-2mdk.i586.rpm) Is on my CD #1 (inst) for Mandrake 8.1, I downloaded the iso images for MDK 8.1 thanks to ADSL and about 20 hours of ftp. ;-) Jose El Sábado 03 Noviembre 2001 06:09, Sergio Korlowsky escribió: > On Friday 02 November 2001 05:10 pm, you wrote: > > I went to: > > > > www.google.com > > > > and asked 'gftp' and I got: > > > > http://gftp.seul.org/ > > > > But I recommend you rpmfind.net so you can download de RPM for your linux > > distribution.

Re: [expert] CD not working any more???
Yes, kernel-2.4.13-2mdk.i586.rpm (Cooker) Is the one. is says Cooker because is under Mandrake cooker development and not under any of the official bersions of mandrake 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 or 8.1. I suppose the packages may be in the next distro release, 8.2? Remembar to get also 'kernel-headers' and 'kernel-source' so you may costumize your kernel.
