This happens with both RedHat 6 and Mandrake 6, but not RedHat 5.2 I'm almost positive it's because it's trying to power off my computer. Everything unmounts, kills, and shuts down fine; the system is halted, then it says "poweroff" and gives me the huge error which ruins my disk so bad I can't even start Linux. How can I edit my init script for the shutdown process so it doesn't want to power off my PC? I looked in the InitV editor, but all I found was halt. Thanks for your help!! Flight16 Do not issue halt or shutdown -h use shutdown -r and powerdown manualy, if you do use sysrq-u b wait for the bios info and poweroff manualy. You might try uninstalling the apm package (you might want to memorize those sysrq keys first) as this seems to solve the problem on some motherboards. as for editing line 31 of /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/S00reboot change command="halt" to command="reboot" and do the manual powerdown thing. And yes we are working on this problem

It got to the point where it said 'beginning install...', (I think that it was three dots), and froze. I switched to a different virtual console and got the message hda lost interrupt, or something similar. I eventually figured out that I needed a better boot disk and downloaded one from the linux-mandrake.com site. This allowed me to run the installation program. I installed linux on my hard drives three times, using different combinations of partitions on different disks, and each time got the same error. LILO pops up, I pick linux, it uncompresses the images (?), and gets as far as detecting my ATAPI CD-ROM drive, but then it hangs (I've left it there for over an hour with no improvement). I can't hear any drive activity, so it doesn't appear to be doing anything (endless loop?). The message is something like: hda IDE ATAPI CD ROM FS600S... Since I have tried installing the product three times already, I have no idea what else to do. Could it be that it is not installing the correct boot image? Is this a problem with the kernel? Is this problem similar to the one with the bad boot disk? I don't believe that this is a LILO problem, as I have successfully used LILO in the past (I ran Red Hat 4 a with LILO). How do I fix it?

It ask for the Unix path of my floppy, my C drive, my D drive (both from windows) and my temp drive... anyone knows what could be my path giving that linux is resident in my D drive of windows? Not sure what that last bit means- I didn't think there was a working driver for reading ext2fs drives from windows, or that you could install Linux on a FAT partition (apart from a UMSDOS install). I can tell you that by the default install of Mandrake, the floppy path is /mnt/floppy and CD-ROM is /mnt/cdrom. Other than that, it depends on where you have your Windows partition(s) mounted. If you have only one drive in Windows, you can comment out the D: drive part in wine.conf. Then, you'll need to mount your C: drive. Wherever you mount it, that's what you'll put in WINE's config file. I can't tell you too much more, as I've only used WINE once or twice before, and am not sitting at my computer right now. I'm sure, though, that if you poke around the Internet long enough, you'll be able to find anything you might need to know about WINE. Some experimentation can work wonders, too, if you're not sure about something. And the great part about Linux is, unless you're working as root (which you should not be) you can't hose your entire system if something goes really wrong(like what happens in Windows)- just that one user, at the worst!

[newbie] Kernel upgrade
Hello, I Just upgraded from kernel 2.2.9-19 to 2.2.9-27 because of many disk fragmentation errors. Now that I have 2.2.9-27 up and running it appears to be more stable and almost everything works except my Zip drive. I have a Zip 100 SCSI which worked in 2.2.9-19 and give the following error in 2.2.9-27: Mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device. (maybe "insmod driver") Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem, or is it a bug in 2.2.9-27. Also, one more question, how do I get LILO to boot to the new kernel as I have both listed in the LILO booter?...what do I do to lilo.conf? Thanks in advance. Rich Bendorf, O.F.M.

But all of these problems existed when I used the RedHat rpms with Mandrake, but neither of them existed when I installed RedHat 6.0 itself. Alan
Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Problems!
Axalon.whoops!! I didn't make one thing clear. Running sndconfig does not zero the volume, it simply lowers it enough (from my previously pre-set levels) so I can't hear it.

Axalonhere's some answers to your queries. I hope they help. 1) sndconfig does not autoidentify my card (it says it can't find a card). What model do you have? PCI128 2) sndconfig turns the volume down and then when it plays the sample I can't hear it. Hmm, did you do a cold boot of the machine? sndconfig should make sure the volume is reasonable however so I'll look into a patch for it no, after I used kpackage to uninstall the old files and install the new ones I exited KDE with a ctl-alt-f6, logged in as root and ran sndconfig. Since it didn't error out when playing the sample I answered yes to the 'did you hear' question and then logged out and used ctl-alt-f7 to return to KDE, opened the volume control on the dock and set the volume to what I normally use (it was reset to all sliders just above the midpoint) and the system sounds worked fine. 3) sndconfig only plays one sample, the .au file of Linus' voice, but not the .midi file. can you play midi afterwards by telling it yes, does it zero that volume also? yes to what? After returning to KDE I can find a .midi file in the file system and play it, yes.
