Re: [expert] Helium Setup hangs..
Hi! so i think my quantum fireball must be on the side of those "offenders".. :( after seeing the hpt controller known and compiled into kernel i tried to plug in the udma66 cable after installation - it hangs when hpt controller plugs into kernel.. well, have to wait till this is stable or buy a new hd.. think i will wait.. ;) thanks for your suggestions.. bye, Torben Civileme wrote: > LOTS of problems with Ultra66 controllers (Promise and Highpoint) > with *certain* drives.

Re: [expert] Helium Setup hangs..
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, tried it but still hangs.. Dunno, if I was wrong before with hanging on ide-scsi, but now it hangs on SCSI detection.. When I ran setup in expert mode it hangs after the kernel has set up ide-controller.. Anyone out there had similar probs with HPT 366? bye, Torben Civileme wrote: > Yes, skip the ide-scsi detection (install in expert > mode). > > If it loads ide-scsi because you have a burner > somewhere, try this crazy trick. > > Install burner as slave, then switch it to master for > running. > > CIvileme
[expert] Helium Setup hangs..
Hi! I tried to install Helium with UDMA 66 and it hangs on ide-scsi detection in setup.. Thought that the HPT366 on BP6 is a tested setup from Mandrake-Developers as i have seen here before.. Has anyone successfully made a setup with HPT366 on Helium? My Harddisk is a Quantum Fireball, so not one of those WD which have problems that I've read here.. Bye, Torben
Re: [expert] UDMA66 problem
Hi! Anyone has successful installed UDMA 66 with 7.1 and HPT366 on his BP6? My problem starts when installer makes ide-scsi detection it hangs.. any workaround to disable detecting? (export mode doesn`t work..) bye, Torben
Re: [expert] PHP on Air
Hi! Thanks all for the suggestions, works fine after naming files which should be parsed php3.. Also thanks for the security tip, which shouldnt left out.. ;) Bye, Torben
Re: [expert] PHP on Air
Hi Jean-Michel! Thanks for your hint. With naming those files whatever.php3 it worked.. So i have to add something to parse also html-files, sorry, thought that this is the standard situation. But now i got it.. Bye, Torben Jean-Michel Dault wrote: > > On Sat, 4 Mar 2000, Bug Hunter wrote: > > > You may have a bit more reading to do.

Re: [expert] PHP on Air
Hi! I think the conf-files from Apache and PHP are already configured from Mandrake, looked at them and it looks like everything is fine.. Anyone got a hint? Or should i fetch new RPMs from AdvancedExtranet? Bye, Torben Bug Hunter wrote: > > You may have a bit more reading to do.

[expert] PHP on Air
Hi! Anyone had problems with PHP on Air? Got installed Apache and all PHP packages - running well, but also little examples wont execute.. Looks like nothing is parsed from Apache, must i configure Apache to parse PHP? Bye, Torben

[expert] Kernel naming
Hi! Got a question after building my own kernel. MDK installed a normal and a SMP Kernel for my BP6. There are two dirs in /lib/modules something like /2.2.14-15mdk + /2.2.14-15mdksmp, also after building my own kernel there are only those 2, my startup screen shows 2.2.-14-15mdksmp from any system variable i think. My question is where is this one set? I received some problems after building and inserting a module into the kernel.. So i want to change this naming context and have only one module directory.. Anyone can help me? ;) Another problem is that i receive a lot of unresolved symbols after booting my new kernel.. Ah, btw, MDK is 7.0.. Thanks in advance, bye, Torben

But what is the best way to mount some /export dirs from the server via NFS? Read NFS Howto already but gives no solution for me.. ;) You use automount? Are there Howtos for this? Haven't found a man page for this on my system. Is it an extra package and what is it called? Bye, Torben
[expert] NFS / root access
Hi! Connected my 2 linux boxes to build a small network. Everythings works, besides that i can't login as root via telnet or rlogin, only normal user logins are working.. If I want to mount a NFS directory as root i receive a Permission Denied, sounds like the same problem.. But what is the solution? ;) Don't want to setup a NIS for this little Network, must I? Thanks in advance, bye Torben
