[expert] SB AWE64 failing to load - Mandrake 8.1
I recently upgraded (read: re-installed) to Mandrake 8.1. Since then, my sound card has not been working. The sound card was working fine under Mandrake 8.0 and still works when I boot to Win98SE. It's a Creative SB AWE64. When I run sndconfig, it first says: ISAPNP Probe Results A ISAPNP sound card was found in your system. The details are: Model: Creative SB AWE64 PnP:Audio OK. All looks good so far. Hit OK for the sound sample, and I get: modprobe error The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod sound-slot-0 failed OK. Not so good... It spits me into manual config and I try a zillion combinations for IRQ/IO/DMA including those which work for Win98 and still, the same thing comes out. Also, I'm not sure if this is relavent, but when I probe the driver with insmod, it returns unresolved symbols. Is this supposed to happen? Maybe my sb.o is corrupt?

Try using ext3 as your journaling filesystem. It has the exact same specs as ext2 with journaling as an additional layer, so I'm assuming that ghost will treat it as ext2 and copy it as such. I haven't used the latest version, so others can correct me if I'm wrong, but originally, you could mount the same fs as ext2 or ext3 and it would work either way, back and forth, with no problems. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email addresses@yourdomain CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The quick and dirty way to get back into windoze (while blowing away LILO for now) is to boot to DOS and rewrite the master boot record. Your windoze recovery disk should have the appropriate files present. Simply run "fdisk /mbr" from the DOS command line. Then run "fdisk" and select your windoze partition as "active". Then remove your recovery disk and reboot. It should come up with windoze. You can fix LILO later by booting from your madrake install CD.

However, it won't close the ports that other servers are listening on. If you have servers running that you only want localhost to have access to, try using iptables to block them. For instance, let's say you have mysql running and you don't want it visible on the network. Then do: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -s ! 127.0.0.1 -j DROP This says add (-A) to the INPUT table the rule that if a something arrives whose protocol (-p) is tcp and whose destination port (--dport) is 3306 and whose source (-s) IP is not (!) 127.0.0.1, then jump (-j) to the DROP table. Obviously, the DROP table drops the packet on the floor. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email addresses@yourdomain CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
