Does anyone know " how to massage /dev/hdc and /dev/hdb BOTH as scsi? as in " append="hdb=ide-scsi" I'm just guessing, and you're aware of how little I know about linux. However, if I were doing this, I'd recompile my kernel, as I recall you're using 2.4.13 or some such, _without_ the native atapi support and with the scsi emulation support and then do append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi" or some such. When I was doing something like this. for a lfs system, I also had to make the sr0,sr1 devices, iirc, and only then did dmesg show correct device assignments on boot. mebbe I'm way way way off base, tho...

Mike As I said I have had some peculiar results with Suse 7.3 and also the same problem, over the past few days I have compiled 2.4.10, 2.4.12, and 14. I did these with and without framebuffers (kernel errord out with framebuffers included in 14), the results were the same with all compiles. No text to secreen and in some cases no boot at all. This was all done for the bttv card to see if it was a kernel problem. One thing I will say I _could_ not compile sucessfully 2.4.14. had a problem in config_drivers_block that I could not remedy. Not for want of fiddling, for as you know I do have time to do that. It would appear to me that Suse does not like recompiled kernels or there is a special way to do this...However they do warn in the manuals against doing vanilla recompiles. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

RE: Re: replacing win98
I have given up on wn4lin as a longtime loyal user and have gone with VMware Express. Netraverse seemed to have gone after RH and MDK and as for SuSE, they always seem to lag behind. They even seem to stay more current for TurboLinux. I went with SuSE after COL 2.4, even though I looked @ RH7.1, MDK8 and MDK8.1 beta, SuSE seemed easier to transition to as a somewhat newbie. I have VMware express running with 96MB on a 126 MB laptop and 160 MB on a 256 MB desktop.

IIRC, the kernel looks for System.map-`uname -r` first and then System.map (first in /boot, then in /usr/src/linux You can mdify this by playing with the klogd command line options in /etc/rc.d as David stated. the only other thing that uses the System.map file is a kernel debugger, or ksymoops (which decodes a kernel panic).

Well... if you've got ICS up and running on the windows box all you should have to do is set the windows machine's ip as the gateway on the linux box. You'll also need to configure your dns servers... if ICS has any kind of dns forwarding/caching/whatever setup you can then just set the windows machine's ip as the dns server as well. Alternatively, if that doesn't work, then you use the same dns servers as the windows box. If you don't know these already they can be discovered by running winipcfg on the windows box and selecting the adaptor which you are using to connect to the internet.

Re: Linux box and ICS
Midnight babbled on about: > I have a RH linux box connected to a Win98se box via a LAN. Question is, > how do I connect to the internet via the ICS on the Windows box? Simply configure the RH box with a static ip (might I suggest 192.168.1.10) and then list the Win98 box as the default route. That should do it. Does your win98 box have a DHCP address, or a static one? one ethernet card, or two? -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: http://linux.nf Admin: http://hunley.homeip.net I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.

I'd like to know before I fork up the dough. No workaround should be needed for any version of VMWare at the 3.x level. The work around mentioned was for people running 2.0.x versions of VMware when they wanted to run 2.4.7 or greater kernels. A small piece of new source was needed and it was readily available. I still have it but you shouldn't need it. I'm running vanilla 2.4.14 with 3.0 workstation and it installs just fine. -- ++ + Bruce S.

'ere now mate. it's just different is all. the dsp issue is because of kde. it's artsd actually grabs (and blocks) /dev/dsp. then it multiplexes the device out to other apps. but they either need to be artsd aware, or they need to be called by an artsd-wrapper script. details are on the KDE list archives somewhere mate... ping me privately and I'll see what we can get working for you.

Ok so that means I can get them working, but it is nontheless diconcerting to see what was something simple being stuffed up by non co-operation. Typical with linux tho!

I'm here to help push you up that curve if you want I have just got to like Suse a bit better now that all of a sudden I have my TV card working. Unsure exactly what I fixed but! I enabled pnp in bios and also unplugged the logitech usb web camera and moved the card to another slot.

Re: Red Hat 7.2 Gotchas
On Nov 18 Kurt Wall was heard saying: ->Hello, list, -> ->I'm finishing up a chapter for an unspecified book on Red Hat Linux ->and you have the opportunity to contribute. In particular, if you ran ->into problems either installing or configuring a stock installation ->of 7.2 (or, perchance, one of the pre-7.2 betas), tell me what it is *** Two things that seem coming back : 1/ It still doesn't recognize a wheel mouse and thus doesn't configure the mouse properly. The list of available mice is rather empty when doing a re config with "mouseconfig" (the TUI utility). 2/ The up2date utility is still buggy - it keeps asking to register chez RH even when it's done - and is a relatively big "nothing" compared to the auto update feature of SuSE or Debian... 3/ The guy's at Red Hat have sometimes good idea's and do nice init scripts, but for Christ's sake, can't they comment them a bit more!? The latest example is /etc/sysconfig/harddisks. The file itself isn't very talkative. Going to rc.sysinit.sysinit, doing a search for "hard" and figuring out together with man what the entries mean is not a problem for me and others who know RH... Sometimes the scripts look like the maintainer started with loads of good ideas but run out of time at the end. The file "harddisks" is again a good example. Some entries should've been in the script by default. The guy's at RH should check Mandrake's scripts and see if it gives them an idea. Mandrake never worked for me but I liked their init scripts.
