Re: Linux Laptops

2007-08-06 Thread David Heilman

I have had SuSE Linux running on T60's and T40's for the past 3 years.
The R series had problems but the T series seems to run great. I am
about to try SuSE on a Gateway Notepad to see how well that works.

At the end of the year (2005), I bought a Thinkpad  some model or


other.


It sure doesn't like linux (Suse 8, Suse 9 or Suse 10).  Power


management


doesn't work.  The battery indicator doesn't work,  Wifi does work.


Leave


Linux up for over 30 minutes, and the Thinkpad shuts down.  The fan
sometimes doesn't come on and the laptop overheats.

I think the laptop is a G40.  It didn't have Linux as one of the


supported


Operation Systems at the time I bought it.  I will make sure support


is


there on the following hardware purchases.  For now, it converted me


back


to XP.



Try again now. A lot of work on laptop support has been done in Linux
since then.

Dave,
What version of sles9 are you using? (GA, sp1,
sp2, sp3) (31 or 64 bit)
How far into the IPL are you getting before it abends?
Looking at the files you are trying to ipl via the
reader, can you do a
filel
and tell me the file sizes? I will compare against
my files here.
Can you cut and paste your user direct entry?

This is part of the SuSE instructions and I
followed them to the letter.

There are many ways to create an IPLable tape. One
is to copy the files:
/boot/tapeipl.ikr
/boot/parmfile
/boot/initrd
as binary files from CD 1 into the z/VM (for
example, using FTP from a
Linux workstation).
Name them
SLES9 IMAGE
SLES9 PARM
SLES9 INITRD
and write them onto a tape with the REXX script in
Example 8.1.
Note
Transferring Binaries using FTP
Do not upload the files as fixed 80. Store them as
fixed 1024. Use the FTP command loc site fix 1024.
Note
Example 8.1: REXX Script to Create an IPLable Tape

It could be you have the kernel with the bootstrap
for the virtual
reader rather than the tape. You might verify with
a TRACE INST TERM
RUN before you IPL and see where it goes wrong.
When you install Linux
in a virtual machine, it is probably more common
to IPL from your
virtual RDR. Any reason you could not try that?

Woody doesn't include the (at the time of release) OCO modules for
2.4.17 for the installation kernel.
However, the Woody installer *does* recognize a second file, called
INITRD2, packed with all the OCOs you want.  We do that (in a virtual
card deck) for our distro.  Basically you create a lib/modules/
directory tree in an ext2 filesystem, write that to an image file,
block that file to 1k, and write it to the tape after initrd.
Or, just install Sarge, which will be a whole lot easier.

Linux/390 Dedian install problem

2005-02-16 Thread David Heilman
I am trying to install the Debian linux/390 distro on an LPAR and I am having a 
problem when I boot
the first time from disk. It is telling me the following:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module eth0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
This is my first time with Debian and can not figure out were I went wrong. 
Anyone have any suggestions?

It will then show you the space used by 1st level of directories. Then drill 
down using the same command with a different argument. Take a look in /var/log. 
I find /var/log/sa fills things up quite quickly (which is why I usually put it

distributions we choose, until our staffs build their skill levels to
be able to bolt together a working Linux instance from freely available

Actually, this is not entirely correct either, but it does point at a fairly
big limitation in VMWare (and x86 capability for being virtualized)...  VMWare
actually can run more OSes (and versions of OSes) than those 'supported' by
VMWare.  E.g. I had Plan9 running (in text mode, due to not having the specs
for the video card VMWare emulates) on VMWare years ago, and now Bell Labs has
is running with GUI.  But it is not at all supported by VMWare, and VMWare does
not contain any code that is customized to make it possible.

I've been running it under Linux for about 4 years now. I started using
VMWare when you could get a hobby license. I run Windows NT on my Linux
lap top and run 3 different levels and distribution of linux under linux
on my desk top along with Windows NT. It all works great. If I had a 390

clone the W98 machine.  I just have to copy the virtual file system and
edit a couple of configuration files.  It supports NAT so the virtual
machines have their own subnet.  The Windows virtual machines can access
the host (Linux) systems filesystem through Samba.
All of the administration is with a GUI, so there is no hcp stuff to
speak of.  You can add and remove devices that the machines can use,
though.  For instance, if I don't need the CD I just disconnect it since
evidently Windows will check for a CD every second in order to be able
to automatically run it.  My laptop doesn't have a floppy, so none of
the virtual machines have a floppy drive.  But, I can create a floppy
image and connect a virtual machine to it.

Because the MP3000 is passing the data through OS/2 you have to use 1492
