[expert] FinePix S304 usb camera - latest attempt of many
I'm still struggling to get my camera (which uses xD memory card) recognised. Here is my latest attempt: I have a removable drive setup for my usb LS120 drive, the fstab line of which was constructed by MCC. Taking that as a model, I added /dev/sdb /mnt/camera auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,dev,sync,codepage=850,suid,umask=0 0 0 Mounted all. I created a drive icon in the Removable Drive folder. Attempting to mount from here opened a browser, but then said 'Could not connect to host navigation.realnames.com'. Next - had I forgotten to get something read correctly? So, re-boot to make sure. Make sure everything plugged in and powered on, to enable detection. Half way down boot-up messages, one that said (as best I can remember) mount: fs type umask=0 not supported by kernel During hardware detection it hung. After about 5 minutes I switched the camera off, and saw a message about disconnecting 'device 6', I think it was. I am out of my depth here. Can someone please tell me to what extent things are functioning correctly, and give me any pointers as to whether the problem can be tackled, or whether it indicates lack of kernel support for this device? I cannot think of any more logical approaches. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

At one point, MandrakeUpdate mistakenly enabled such an update, which removes your old kernel and which created a lot of problems when the new kernel wouldn't work for some people. That has since been changed so that urpmi will install, not upgrade a kernel: $ cat /etc/urpmi/inst.list # Here you can specify packages that need to be installed instead # of being upgraded (typically kernel packages). kernel kernel-smp kernel-secure kernel-enterprise kernel-linus2.2 kernel-linus2.4 kernel22 kernel22-secure kernel22-smp hackkernel I have had no problem doing rpm -i the kernel, which installs the new kernel in parallel, mkinitrd, ifneeded, changes the default links in /boot to point to the new kernel, and creates a new entry in the bootloader (grub, for me) for the previous default kernel. As it turns out, this particular kernel has the same version for a security-vulnerable edition and the patched edition, which came out right at the time of release, thus the use of the same version. If you were running the first, vulnerable kernel and wanted to install the patched kernel of the same version (which, afaict, is not the case here), you would have to implement some non-standard strategy, as discussed in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg103870.html In short, I don't think you have an issue that, as defined, presents a fixable bug for Mandrake. rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] SMC EZ Card 8041TX NIC and Dell Inspiron 4000 problem (revisited)
Earlier I posted some specifics of my problem, which can be searched under the Subject: Need experienced advice on putting MDK on a Dell Inspiron 4000. After thoroughly reading PCMCIA-HOWTO, many hours of configuring, even bugging the generous David Hinds, I cannot come up with a sure answer as to why I cannot get MDK 9.0 to recognize and configure my SMC EZ Card 10/100 Mbps PC Card NIC. Mr. Hinds insists that support is already built into the version of 'pcmcia-cs' used in MDK 9.0, yet the card is at best recognized as 'unsupported card' when 'cardmgr' reads it on boot-up. Additonally, I would like to know how you went about to getting the statis IP addressing of your laptop accomplished. Doing so in MCC or linuxconf is impossible if it doesn't list your particular device, and I am told not the proper place to add this configure for a PCMCIA NIC. Adding network information into '/etc/pcmcia/config' has not helped, though. 'hosts' and 'resolv.conf' are set-up properly. Searches on the Web for anyone having done this under MDK 9.0 and with my NIC have been fruitless. SMC tech support only states that the driver source code to compile a new module are designed to meet Red Hat standards, and have not been tested on any other platform. Previous compiling would not work. Mr. Hinds states that the drivers on MDK 9.0 are actually newer than what is available from SMC or the sunsite mirror. This NIC is fairly new and has worked flawlessly under its previous environment, Win 2K.It goes against my grain to go out and buy another NIC, especially when this one works and if its a config problem, not a compatibility one. I would appreciate a reply from anyone with experience in setting up 'pcmcia-cs' on their laptop using MDK 9.0, and especially anyone familiar with this particular NIC. Contact me here,or at my email address directly. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Contrary to what you were told, *always* install a new kernel... never
upgrade it. Use -ivh, don't ever use -Uvh. That will give you a kernel to
fall back on if there is a problem with the new one.
Having said that, this is a good source for doing kernel updates of any
kind:

What I suspected after my compiling problem was that the scripts were written for Red Hat systems. It turns out to be true, and the only system they have tested on. Their stance is that this PC Card is Linux compatible, though not necessarily Mandrake compatible. They suggested that I look to the Web to see if anyone has source code or RPMs for Mandrake on this Card. Well, I have already search high and wide, but found nothing reflecting Mandrake for this card. I will continue to look, of course. I did try, just for the fun of it, to play around with my /etc/pcmcia/config to see if I could manipulate the O/S to load some module that would work. 'tulip' didn't work, using your manfid setting and the ones that showed up on boot-up. I tried 'pcnet_cs' with the manfid settings I am seeing and it still wouldn't load. One thing that tech support did answer me on was what the chipset used on this card would either be Realtek or National Semiconductor, but he wouldn't be able to tell me which. Beyond this, I am on my own. Thanks again for your help. If you come up with any ideas, please post them here or write to me directly. T One thing to note. Both the realtek and the Nat SemiConductor use the tulip driver. One note.. I checked the Red Hat lists... guess what ... people there are having just as much trouble. A small windows illusion that sometimes gets carried over to Linux... Linux is Linux. Drivers are in the kernel and the kernel is the kernel. So if it works in Red Hat at this level it's not a real switch to get it working in MDK or SuSE or mostly a recompile if the c libs are dramatically different. Hey I'm writting and googling at the same time here..change the last line in the two addins I gave you before from bind tulip to bind tulip_cb and restart pcmcia.

On Fri, 2003-03-21 at 19:24, David E. Fox wrote: The installation program runs from a RAMdisk when you have 64MB or more of memory. If you have less, as you do, the installation program must run So that's it. I'm not affected by lack of RAM, but it's good to see a coherent explanation. On the same issue - how much RAM does the installation program really need these days? As a fairly longterm user of Linux, I've seen and done installs in as low as 4 megs of RAM up to my current system configuration, which has 256 megs. As memory resources have increased *quite a bit* in the last several years, it also seems that the installers are getting fancier and requiring more RAM as well. One trick we used (back in the days of SLS and early Slackware) was to define and manually attach a swap partition as soon as was possible during the install process. That way, one could still install on a system that didn't quite have the recommended memory requirements. This is exactly the tack taken by a group called R.U.L.E. (Run Up2date Linux Everywhere) they are working on changing the RH installer to work on low RAM boxes yet install an updated Kernel etc. Personally I get really tired of hearing Memory is cheap yeah it's cheap... if you are spending the other guys money. *grin* This doesn't seem applicable these days - at least in that the current installer has to wait until the partition definition screen (i.e., diskdrake) to set these partitions up for us. And, consequently, if there's not enough RAM to get yuo this far, you're in trouble to say the least. I dunno about this, but I would try using urpmi.addmedia instead. Yeah, that works, but you have to install things after the stuff is isntalled on CD#1. On the other hand, I don't have a burner and all I physically had when I installed 9.0 was the first CD. It would have been nice to be able to do on-the-fly urpmi.addmedia's to install stuff from the rest of the system via other means (could be FTP or HD). And in my instance the HD install method blew up early in the install because it could not find a hdlist.cz file :(. I've used this trick to do this. go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php and get the urpmi command for main, contrib, and updates (we want to be current don't we *grin*) then edit /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and add the line ignore (without the quotes) to the end of each of the removable disks you have listed there. Now whenever you do a urpmi command it will go to the net for ALL of the needed rpms. You now no longer need the disks to run urpmi. This will allow you to install all day long (or less time if you have broadband.) applications, etc. (speed tip if you put the word synthesis. (with the .) in front of hdlist.cz or hdlist2.cz etc it will be much faster to add the media.) James Right now I have CD's 2 and 3 ISO's loopmounted and use those for sources for urpmi. Works nicely.

If you're using SCSI or more esoteric boot devices or don't have your your filesystem type (ext3, reiser) built into the kernel then you need to make an initrd. To do so: su - mkinitrd initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` This will create an initrd for the current kernel. Look at the manpages for other options.

Re: [expert] ISO image from 1.2Gb folder
I am sorry if I won't give you the CD-burning answer, but I can share with you what I am doing: rar vsize[k,b], where size=size of volume, and I give it the CD size, and the program splits the archives for me ... doesn't even really matter where. Then I just burn CDs with each rar file created this way.

Not all systems are created equal. initrd is a rough parallel to CONFIG.SYS and drivers in WinDOS. initrd is created custom for your system when you install.

Re: [expert] New linux kernel for mdk9
Hi Vincent and others, Thanks for the help so far. After rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk I have found even though I am not booting it, my system is not stable. in X/KDE the whole system has crashed twice today when loading ~30MB text files. Which never happend before. I can not ssh in to reboot, nothing is responsive except sysrq+alt+shift+ctrl etc, so i sync, unmount, reBoot again. this is the line I use to boot. image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk label=linux2.4.19 root=/dev/hde2 read-only optional vga=normal append= devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img Oddly USB is working slightly better than it used to with this kernel today! Is there any reason my my computer could be crashing frequently in the old, working kernel? I also have been trying to get kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk running ok, as an alternative, so I booted into kernel-2.4.21-0.13mdk then: Some things I can not install though [EMAIL PROTECTED] now3d]# rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk [EMAIL PROTECTED] now3d]# rpm -e kernel-headers-2.4.18-41mdk error: removing these packages would break dependencies: kernel-headers is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.5-16mdk kernel-headers = 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.5-16mdk I did not want to break it, so I have not installed them.

RPMS and RPMS.cooker have the same content. RPMS2 contains the contrib RPMS, located ../../../contrib from Mandrake/, which contains RPMS, RPMS2, and RPMS.cooker directories. Don't ask me why. If you have about a 4.5G partition set up, mounted on /cooker, for instance: # df FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on [..] /dev/hda105.7G 4.2G 1.6G 74% /cooker You could mirror cooker with an rsync command something like: rsync -avL --delete --exclude=Mandrake/RPMS.cooker ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/ /cooker/cooker/cooker I believe I created this directory structure on my /cooker partition, initially, before running rsync the first time; it's been a while: /cooker (mount point) | \ /cooker /contrib || /cooker i586 There are different ways to do it but this has worked for me. See man rsync and study the directory structure on the mirrors. Not all mirrors support rsync. The manual explains a command to query the server for rsync modules.
