  that is correct, or not?

 ONLY IF you have an image section that points to the new kernel.
 It should point to /vmlinuz for bzlilo compiled kernels (unless you
 change the kernel Makefile, which I doubt).

 Try the SUSE docuemntation, I believe they have asection on how to
 rebuild kernels on their system.

 man lilo.conf

Hi Folks,

I'm looking at doing shared memory stuff on Linux and it doesn't seem
to support POSIX shared memory. Is there any effort towards
implementing that or am i stuck with mmap?

Can I just download the source for 2.2 and compile it ? Will it work
with apps and sys utilities from 2.0.36 ?

Subject: Re: ATAPI  ZIP drive problem

How are you using fdisk?
How are you calling mount?
If you have any fstab entries for the drive, please post that.

The Iomega zip drives actually show up as the last partition on the drive.  I don't
know why.
In your case, you'd probably find it at

/dev/hdd4

 Hi,
 I'm trying to make my ATAPI ZIP drive work in my linux
 box...
 I have used kernels 2.0.36, 2.1.132 and 2.2.1 with
 ide-floppy or ide-scsi and  the problem persists

 As and example when I use kernel 2.1.132 with
 ide-floppy and ide-scsi
 as modules I get when I boot:

  kernel: PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
  kernel: PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs
 later
  kernel: ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS
 settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
  kernel: ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS
 settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
  kernel: hda: ST33221A, ATA DISK drive
  kernel: hdb: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100,
 ATAPI CDROM drive
  kernel: hdc: SAMSUNG SW0434A (4.3GB), ATA DISK drive
  kernel: hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY
 drive
  kernel: ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
  kernel: ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15

 later doing an modprobe ide-floppy results in:

 hdd: The drive reports both 100663296 and 100646912
 bytes as its capacity
  hdd: hdd1 hdd2 hdd3 hdd4

 when I try the ide-scsi module the message is:

  hdd:3ide-scsi: hdd: unsupported command in request
 queue (0)
 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 0
  unable to read partition table
 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI
 devices
 scsi : 1 host.
   Vendor: IOMEGAModel: ZIP 100   Rev: 13.A
   Type:   Direct-Access  ANSI SCSI
 revision: 00
 Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0,
 id 0, lun 0
 SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors=
 196576 [95 MB] [0.1 GB]
 sda: Write Protect is off
  sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4

 In both cases note the 4 partions reported  but the
 ZIP disks are brand new from IOMEGA.
 When I use fdisk it reports 4 partitions with lost of
 errors and when I try to mount the disks it says there
 is no msdos filesystem in the disk.

 Any help is welcome...
 Thanks,
 C.A. Santos

Subject: failed gcc build
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 14:28:58 GMT

Has anyone managed to bootstrap gcc or egcs under 2.2.1?  I have a RedHat
5.1 system that has recently been upgraded to kernel 2.2.1.  I had
problems compiling some other compilers so I decided to bootstrap egcs and
then when that failed I tried gcc instead.  They both crash because of a
missing file xgcc.  I could find no reference to this in the INSTALL file.
I assumed this should point to the current C compiler - i.e. a starting
point to bootstrap from.  Hence I did a clean and then set xgcc to point
to my current egcs installation.  This gave a Signal 11: Internal compiler
error both with egcs and gcc.  This is not a hardware
