But it may not be able to boot it if it is the drive with /boot on it and /boot is past where the motherboard can see. I solved the problem by buying a Promise IDE-133 controller. It has its own bios for the drives. A good way to bypass flaky ide controllers. They are about $50 or so from Office Despot. They are near the hard drive.

RE: [expert] SVG for Linux
I'm afraid to say that's not the solution.

Re: [expert] Configuring apcupsd
Anne, If you're using serial cable, better. I wasn't able to setup a apc ups with usb cable. If you allow me, despite not knowing to identify your cable type, use apcupsd version 3.8 (not 3.10 that come with MDK 9.1). The former version is quite less complicate to setup and so you can try by chance in the apcupsd config file to find out which cable you have. Other suggestion is to get apcupsd source code from apcupsd.org. There you'll get apctest. And then you may play out with apcupsd 3.10. Sorry if I couldn't help more.

Outlook is the problem here, not the servers. Why companies use outlook is another issue. They use it because they believe they have to. The features that they want are calendars and shared folders integrated into the mail client. Sounds like a job for Evolution! Exchange is also a piece in this puzzle. You want to replace that as well. IMAP and ical will replace much of the functionality of Exchange without the data corruption problems. I don't see why people choose Microsoft at all. The cost per seat is prohibitive, when you do the math. The reliability is vague, at best. You can't replace hardware without having to reinstall the entire OS. You can't mount non-MS partitions or media. You are limited to a single desktop. It requires much more hardware to run. (And lots of single function machines scattered about for PDCs, BDCs, WINS, etc.) And you have to worry about law enforcement people coming in and shutting your company down if you are running something "unauthorized".

Re: [expert] I Hate RPM's!!
RPM is not your problem here. The warning messages you are getting are from OpenSSL. The OpenSSL API changes between version. It is trying to verify that the version you linked against is the version you are actually calling. (There are some very good reasons to do this.) Upgrading OpenSSL by hand is not for the timid. And now a real reason to hate RPM. (This is fixable BTW.) If you use "--whatrequires" to find all the things that OpenSSL is supposed to link against, you will get a small handful of the actual dependancies. If you use "-e", you will get a complete list. (If the library is not listed in the spec file, the autodependancy will pick it up, but only the library name, not the correct package.) And then there is the bug in "obsoletes"...

I'm running Mandrake 9.1 on my workstation and I have noticed that all of my video (.avi, .mpeg, etc. files) that are played through mplayer, xine and noatun are coming out in black and white. When I play them in aviplayer, they are in color. Any hints as to what I can do to bring back the color?

Re: [expert] Enlarging Swap
Ok, 2 swap partitions worked well. But I didn't try yet to give a 'pmsuspend'. To make it available I should set 'resume=/dev/hdxx' in my lilo.conf append. And so, that's why I'm afraid! 2 swaps can cover all 512 mem RAM, but not one alone. On Tue, 1 Apr 2003, David E.

Re: [expert] Enlarging Swap
That's lead to another question. I'm just using swap for suspend tests. Now that I have created (add) another swap partition to have memory enough to suspend to HD, my doubt is what should I have to put in lilo append? To complicate a little more, none of my swap partitions has alone space enough to cover RAM, but both together do. Answering myself, I think that I had to put at least one swap partition big enough and set it at lilo, right?

Re: [expert] Pctel HSP56 MR and MDK 9.1
Thank you Joeb! I tried boot linux with acpi=off and modem worked!!! With pci=noacpi => modem didn't work. Hope your tip works for me. I try it latter at home. BTW, if I put insmod at, e.g., /etc/rc.local it should start modem modules automatically, shouldn't it? Moreover, I installed pctel stuff compiled by my own in MDK 9.0 and it worked without problems. Apparently, same happened to MKD 9.1, I can even see them with lsmod and link appears at /dev/modem. Thus, I still believe it is a ACPI issue but I'll try your formula.

I have not tried building this for Mandrake 9.1 yet. If Mandrake has backported the nptl thread library into the kernel and glibc like Redhat 9.0 does, then it is not going to work. The nptl threads from the 2.5.x kernel use segment registers that the nVIDIA driver's opengl code uses. The collision is double-plus ungood. If it is a similar issue (and like I said, I don't know if Mandrake has done this in 9.1) then you will have a problem. I will be ordering my copy of 9.1 after payday.

Well, I did something like that in old mobo with a different pin layout. Using manual, electronic schemes and a multimeter. That worked out. I'm really thinking about doing that again and believe it will work again. If so, I'll let you all know about it. I was just wondering if someone else had tried it yet.

Re: [expert] LT Win Modem on Notebook Computer
I know that PCTel and LT winmodem works well with any MDK. But I always use tarball files and informations from linmodem, like Praedor. BTW, the problem you face with pccard and winmodem I had with sound in my mobo. When using modem, my sound switched off (but system didn't lock up). And that seems to be a common issue with Via. However, I handled kppp to stop sound deamon (alsa) e restart after logon, all worked gracefully. Maybe, if you turn off or modem (modules) or pccard for a while, you can avoid lock up.

[expert] Extra USB internal connection on mobo
Hi List! I bought a mobo K7VM2 from ASRock and I must say that I'm satisfied. Although I still have two minor problems that I'll discuss in another opportunity. This mobo offers 6 usb slots. Four is present. Since some new cases has sound/usb connections in front face, and it seems that the pin plug to the internal usb slot on mobo is a standard (5+4 pins = .), I wonder if I could use a USB module with 2 ports from a old Asus mobo which has the same features present in the module of modern case, yet it'll be in the back case. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Re: [expert] new memory 512MB module (total 1024MB) and linux won'tboot and also installer doesn't work anymore
Yes, I agree it doesn't seem right. So, what's your mobo? Did you check any unusual parameter in bios (e.g. for 0S/2 memory?). Do you run winblows too? Other possibility is a possible incompatibility between your memories, I suppose. Are they equal models?

Hi Adrian, Try this, take out your new memory, go to Linux, install entreprise kernel (it supports large memory) from MDK cds, then check lilo if new kernel is their, reboot your system, check if can loggin the new kernel, then halt your system, put back your new memory then power on and see if the new kernel will work well.

[expert] Midi with SBlive
Hi List! I checked in google and got some documents about midi(/dev/sequencer) working with SBLive, but somes old and others a little bit generic. I wonder if among Mandrake users somone has SBLive Midi (using ALSA) configured and working, I mean, one can use 'playmidi test.mid' or kmid and gets sounds. I use MDK 9.0 and compiled Alsa rc 0.8a with --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=yes --with-cards=emu10k1 options, based on: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Live+Value&chip=EMU10K1&module=emu10k1 Ok, kmidi can do the job but it's not the same. SB AWE always work with midi without restraints. Many thanks in advance.

Re: [expert] root password
Nikos, Even better, you can use some live CD distros like Knoppix or Linux BBC. BBC is far smaller than knoppix and fits on business card CD's. Knoppix is a full X-enabled linux that allows you to mount local partitions on the disk drives. These allow you to boot linux up on any PC with a CDROM drive.
