Re: [expert] compiling new kernel, keeping old kernel, how?
Hi David, All you simply need to do is add another stanza in your /etc/lilo.conf. For example, here's part of my laptop's lilo.conf: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5-3mdksmp label=245-3smp root=/dev/sda3 read-only optional append=" quiet" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.5-3mdksmp.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.6 label=246 root=/dev/sda3 read-only optional append=" quiet" So let's say this one is yours. Near the top of the file, you'll see your 'default' line to reflect which kernel image will boot by default (by what label it has). So if you wanted to boot to the latter kernel image, just have '246' in your default line. Like: default=246 Don't delete your old kosher kernel, just add the new one. Know what I'm saying? And don't forget to run lilo when you're done modifying your lilo.conf!

If > I run lilo, it has added the 249 option to my boot manager. Hi Leif, I think (and I very well could be wrong here) that all the 'make install' does is copy over your newly created kernel image and system map over to your boot directory and, as you said, creates the new stanza in your /etc/lilo.conf for the new kernel image. So do you actually have a /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9 and /boot/System.map-2.4.9? It could be that it's just saying that stanza's label is 'linux' and points to /boot/vmlinuz, which in turn may be simply pointing to your old kernel image. I don't know -- obviously I'm just guessing here, but if you've got /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9, then you've got your new kernel. So what was the problem, anyway? Would it just not fully boot with the new kernel image or what? Perhaps I should have asked that question first.

Ah, well, it looks like you're missing the most important part -- 'make
bzImage'. That is the step that actually makes the kernel. Give that
one a go and see what happens. I'm surprised the 'make install' step
doesn't fail. Shouldn't it be copying over /usr/src/linux/System.map
and /usr/src/linux/arch/{arch}/boot/bzImage to /boot? I'd imagine that
if those files don't exist and it exits without any errors, that'd be a
slight bug (IMHO).
Anyway, hope that helps,
-Charlie

Re: [expert] Kernel 2.4.7 release date
After messing with this stuff until 05:00 this morning, I noticed some things that I hope will have been fixed before the real 8.1 ships. On a box with only SCSI disks, if one goes into 'rescue' mode with either 7.2 or 8.0, it'll for some reason realise there's a reiserfs filesystem on the disks, but it won't load the appropriate kernel modules so one can actually hit that drive. It doesn't probe the SCSI bus(ses) and load the module for the adapter it finds and depending on what devices are attached, it fails to load their drivers. I had to bust out my RH 6.2 disk and it did it all perfectly (except didn't have reiserfs support so I was screwed there). Anyway, that's my little sleep deprivation rant.

[expert] ext3 support in 8.1?
I'm sure most on the list have already read the /. article about RH shipping ext3 with their 7.2 release so I was just curious if Mandrake's going to do the same. I realise reiserfs is already offered (and I use it on nearly all of my machines), but what was probably one of the biggest reasons that made me move over from RH to Mandrake was that one had a _choice_ in what filesystem(s) they wanted to have on their box. It wasn't RH saying, "you're going to take ext2 and you're going to like it", but rather Mandrake saying, "you have all of these options available to you". I simply wanted to see if ext3 would be yet another option available in the future to Mandrake users.

[expert] apache's relationship with hostname
Greetings, I noticed this a while ago but it hit me again last night and I'd really like to know what's causing it. Say you've got a machine that's been up for an extended period of time and during that period of time, you change the hostname of that machine. No worries, simple enough, but further along the line, when you make some changes to apache and restart that service, it fails. (And there's nothing in the logs explaining why, which is incredibly frustrating!) Thinking of what could've changed since the last time apache was started, if you change your hostname back to what it was back in the day and give the restart another go, it's all good. My question is, what exactly is going on here? I've never noticed this on any of my RH boxes so I'm thinking it's something with the apache package shipped by Mandrake. Against what is apache checking its current hostname when it's started? Actually, I just noticed the same thing on my workstation in relation to X. With the old hostname, X won't start (startx in runlevel 3), but as soon as I change it back to the old hostname, it's happy and X starts up.

Well we left New York drunk and early on the morning of February 31. We were 15 days on the water, and 3 on the boat when we finally arrived in Africa. Upon our arrival we immediately set up a rigorous schedule: Up at 6:00, breakfast, and back in bed by 7:00. Pretty soon we were back in bed by 6:30. Now Africa is full of big game. The first day I shot two bucks. That was the biggest game we had. Africa is primerally inhabited by Elks, Moose and Knights of Pithiests. The elks live up in the mountains and come down once a year for their annual conventions. And you should see them gathered around the water hole, which they leave immediately when they discover it's full of water. They weren't looking for a water hole. They were looking for an alck hole. One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas, how he got in my pajamas, I don't know. Then we tried to remove the tusks. That's a tough word to say, tusks. As I said we tried to remove the tusks, but they were imbedded so firmly we couldn't get them out. But in Alabama the Tuscaloosa, but that is totally irrelephant to what I was saying. We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed. So we're going back in a few years... -- Julius H. Marx [Groucho] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Alert System
If you love snort, you'll definiately want to check out demarc: http://www.demarc.org Here's a definition from their front page: --- DEMARC is an all-inclusive network monitoring program that allows you to monitor an entire network of servers from one powerful web interface. Instead of having one program perform file integrity checks, another program monitoring the connectivity and health of your network, and yet another monitoring your network for intrusion detection attempts, DEMARC combines all three services into one powerful client/server program. Not only can you monitor the status of the different machines in your network, but you can also respond to changes in your network all from one centralized location. Security is already a full time job in any network, and sometimes the burden of monitoring the reports from multiple programs across dozens of servers can result in information overload. The human mind can only process so much data at any given time before it simply becomes too much to analyze. DEMARC centralizes the reporting and analysis for the entire network and allows you to more easily weed out the important data from the superfluous background noise, thereby targeting your efforts where they really belong. --- Made quite the splash at DefCon too, I hear.

[expert] Backspace sends ^? in xterm
I've probably got a good half dozen MDK 8.0 boxes, but there's this one machine that's got an annoying quirk. When I'm in X, I run xterm and life is great -- until I edit a file and try to backspace. At that point, it sends ^? chars and yes, keytable's getting run at boot time. When I'm not using an xterm, it works fine, so it's something with $TERM (although when I tested using an Eterm, it functions properly and it reports $TERM=xterm).

Such an outcome seems less fanciful when one considers that it is not only green groups, or even the ordinary punter, that wants action on climate change. Many of America's biggest businesses, ranging from DuPont to United Technologies, and even to coal-fired utilities like AEP, support action on climate change and want regulatory certainty on the question of carbon. Those are the sorts of voices that Mr Bush should heed. One of Mr Bush's top lieutenants this week even insisted that his boss would be a world leader on this issue.

I don't think rsync works that way. It compares on a file by file basis and when it finds a file that's different, it downloads it and replaces it on the local machine. Since the iso file changes, it downloads the new iso file. The whole 600 megs. You're not getting the savings you think you are.

Depends on what's more important for you, speed or networking (when it's up). If you had another machine, you could make that other machine a masquerading box or a NAT box (public external to private internal, which is nearly the same as masquerading for only one box).
