Then YAST arbitrarily mounted it somewhere else or failed mounting the CD. To verify this, after starting YAST switch to another console and, after logging in, type mount The mount program then should show you which filesystems are mounted, and also their mountpoints. Hopefully, you will find your CD ROM somewhere. If not, try something like mkdir /cdrom mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom (replace /dev/cdrom with your device specifications, for example, if your CD ROM drive is connected as a slave to the primary IDE port, it will be /dev/hdb) Look for error messages. Because of the great automatic and advanced SuSE installation, it is possible that such minor things like ISO9660 support (ISO9660=CD ROM filesystem) are not available in your newly-built system. In this case, a message like fs type ISO9660 not supported by kernel appears. You then have two alternatives. 1) Try modprobe isofs 2) compile a new kernel with ISO9660 support built in (read the CD- ROM-HOWTO and the Kernel-HOWTO on how to achieve this). Somebody may ask himself here: "How is it possible to install SuSE from a CD when there apparently is no CD filesystem support available?" That's one of the neat SuSE secrets. In some cases, it decides that you do not need to have CD support anymore and simply disables it. That's no pointless complaint, no, several people experienced exactly that behaviour when installing SuSE. It seems to be version- independent, can appear with almost every SuSE distribution. Guess such things are the price one has to pay for "easy automated installation". In the end, such routines can make more trouble than a manual install. Cheers, 73 Gerd

You then either have to apply the AX.25 modules patch to get a more recent version of the drivers (see the AX.25-HOWTO for this - but it is not recommended any more) or switch to a kernel 2.0.35, 2.0.36 or 2.0.37 (here those modules and drivers are included already). [config files snipped] I'd recommend upgrading the drivers first and then reading the readme for the PacketTwin driver to find out how to give that driver the right DMA channel. Cheers, 73 Gerd

On some computers the BayCom drivers have problems with the serial port (UART). The only thing that helps reliably here is adding an old serial port card based on the 8250 UART (or, in some cases, it also works with 16440). Or do you have two serial ports using one interrupt? You should avoid this since it leads to problems in most cases. Cheers, 73 Gerd

Re: HELPME PLEASE
Howdee, I am doing the same thing here. But, I used the Linux dmascc drivers
built into the 2.2.5 kernel. Mr. Klaus Kudielka has been a great help with
this. Currently I have the RS-422 on the first port and RS-232 for the
second. The dmascc config utility is loaded in my rc.local. Both ports are
seen with the ifconfig command.
Once the dmascc0/dmascc1 interfaces are configured, I ported them off to
tnos/jnos with the net2kiss command using ptypX/ttypX pairs. I am still
waiting for the transverter but I can initiate a transmit from the nos port.
Take a look at the www.wa4dsy.radio.org site for the dmascc driver site.
Once I get it all working I will attempt to right a HOWTO. I am using the
Red Hat 6.0 package with the 2.2.5-22 kernel.

Ax.25
I am little new to Linux and Amateur Radio however I am interested in the subject area. However despite all the HOWTO's and documentation however I am still unsure as to what the AX.25 protocol actual does. I have bought a second hand BayCom Modem and understand that the bits written by Thomas Sailer make Linux one of the few OS's to support it. Am I right in thinking that the AX.25 is a basic layer that any of the applications can use? Or do most of them communicate with the TNC itself. I would apreciate anyone who tries to explain this to me. Thanks a lot Tom Edwards

Hello
I have two kits for packet radio, this kits are the following parts:

RIP and ax25-utils
I was wondering if ax25-utils for linux has RIP 1 capabilities? We have a local Gracillias node switch that accepts only type RIP 1 broadcast. This is easly done with jnos and tnos but and not sure with ax25-utils. Thank you in advance, John

Seems it could be the fast lane to reach 9K6 here, as there are a number of drivers (DOS/Win/Linux) that implement PAR96 around here. Even a DETAILED block diagram could help, I have some ideas, but I don't know the "PAR96 protocol", that is, what it does and what it expects the interface to do. 73 de Jose, CO2JA --- Ing. Jose A.

No. That is exactly the correct version for 2.0.36 or 37 and I would stick with that to start with if you are running Redhat 5.2. The 2.2.10 kernels will give you nothing significantly extra in the short term for running a BBS.

You either need to grab all the updates from the kernel-2.2 directory of updates.redhat.com or else install RedHat 6.0. Personally right now, I would instead load down the 2.0.37 kernel source from ftp.uk.kernel.org and compile that up to your requirements and leave 2.2.10 strictly alone until you have 2.0.37 up and working. > > And though off topic, but related to my woes, can I hook up a ZIP drive to > Linux?

Why? Ax.25-utils 2.1.42a _is_ the correct one to use with 2.0.3[67] kernel. -- --- Tomi Manninen / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / OH2BNS @ OH2RBI.FIN.EU ---

Thanks for the answer. I think I have the idea now, but what to do if the RPM's is placed on another CD ??. What do I do then from within YaSt ??. What have I done ??: 1: entered Choose/Install packages 2: entered Change/Create configuration Regards - Erik Jakobsen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Which version should one use with 2.0.36, because it seems that if I could that right I would be able to get a Baycom Ser12 device and [JTx]Nos to talk to each other. In a different lane. Is there someone that uses a Baycom Ser12 device with [JTx]Nos that has some examples of how it is done and that is willing to share it with me or the maillist? Please. Related. What does users use to get the most out of [JTx]NOS ? 73's Louis de ZR6ABC.
Getting confused!
Hi guys, I have just had a chance to sit down and take another look at this linux system I am building to take over the running of the GB7ZPU bbs. I now see that, from reading the messages on this list, I have the wrong ax25-utils for the 2.0.36 kernel that I have - the one I've got is ax25_utils-2.1.42a-3.i386.rpm, and I see that I should have an earlier version. My dilemma is: I have 2.2.10 kernel source on my win98 machine's hard disk, all 14Mb of it. The linux box is running RH5.2. As a bit of a newbie at linux, can I compile the 2.2.10 kernel with RH5.2, or will I need to get the RH6 stuff to go with it? If I CAN compile 2.2.10 with RH5.2, can I use the ax25 utils that I have "in stock", or will I need yet another version? And though off topic, but related to my woes, can I hook up a ZIP drive to Linux? I have looked through the configuration when compiling kernel, but can't find ZIP in there anywhere. If I can get the ZIP hooked up to the Linux box, then I can transfer the new kernel source easily, in a zip ;-) I still think that the docs for Linux need to be written so a dummy can understand them. The docs I have found (HOWTO's etc) all seem to be aimed at university professors who now linux so well that they don't need the doc's anyway!
