Re: [newbie] LILO boot error code

I somehow have managed to corrupt the descriptor table on my system.
When I try to boot into my system all I get at the boot prompt is LIL-
can anyone here on the list offer a suggestion as to what I need to do in

LIL-
The descriptor table is corrupt. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/map without running the map
installer.
I am only currently able to use a boot disk to get the system up and
running and would like to repair this problem, rather then have to
reinstall the entire system, any help/suggestions would be greatly
apreciated.
Your bios might have changed disk parameters, ie gone to LBA or auto
and detected the disk in a different manner. Or you changed some or
other file, check your old logs for disk geometry, and make sure linux
is still seeing the disk the same as beffore when booting with your
floppy, if they are the same simply rerun lilo that shoul get rid if
the problem.
Thank you,

Even my sound card is working now...I'm quite frankly afraid to install anything new just because I'm still basking in the after glow of making all this work when I've never used this stuff before =) I think someone a few messages back asked about the virtual desktop. This was my problem as wellI fought it for a while and finally figured out that (at least for me) it came from having the wrong monitor setting matched with too high a resolution selection(it seems to assume that since I selected something that my monitor "can't" handle that I must want a virtual desktop area). Run Xconfigurator, and make sure you choose the correct monitor (or custom ranges) and a desktop setting that fits within the chosen max resolutionsrunning XF86config (several times) never fixed this I'm not exactly sure why. Also make sure your video card memory it set correctlythat may or may not have contributed to my problems... Best of luck to you Mark

Re: [newbie] Updating Kernel?
A mirror is a download site which contains a copy of files at some other site, so for example, the "Update" program asks you to select a 'mirror' of the main mandrake download site so that you can choose a site that may be closer (and therefore perhaps faster) to download from, as well as allow many people to retreive the same file at once, all around the world.

[newbie] Trouble w/ NIC, modem.
I'm installing Mandrake 6.0 on a Compaq Presario 4504, and I'm running into two problems which are rather distressing. In short, it won't communicate with the NIC or the modem. First the NIC problem. At system boot, it says it's bringing up eth0, and it gives a green "OK" indicating that this was completed successfully. Other services (apache, samba, etc.) also start normally. However, when I run ifconfig, the NIC isn't there. It's a PCI NE2000 clone based on a Realtek chipset. /var/log/messages shows Sep 17 12:39:54 ffj network: Bringing up interface eth0 succeeded Sep 17 12:39:57 ffj kernel: eth0: PCI NE2000 found at 0xfca0, IRQ 0, \ 00:60:67:4A:03:E5. But, when I try running "ifup eth0", I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable SIOCADDRT: Network is down I also tried it with a Linksys tulip-based card, with almost identical results. I see that the kernel reports irq0, which I suspect may be a problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Other than that, I don't have a clue. What else should I check? Second problem, the modem. It's an ISA, hardware modem with DIP switches and jumpers to select resource settings, or it can also be configured for PnP. First, I tried it PnP, since I didn't want to go digging for the manual to find how to set the switches. pnpdump found it just fine, so I edited isapnp.conf to select com3, io 3e8, irq 5, and ran isapnp. It responded with a fatal error allocating 8 bytes of io at that address. Per /proc/ioports, 3e8 was free, and /proc/interrupts indicated that irq 5 was also free. Isapnp gave the same error with every other selection I tried. Thus foiled, I found the manual, and set the modem to com2, irq 3. The system saw the com port when it booted, but it didn't work properly. I could open minicom, but the modem took about 20 seconds to respond to "AT." I tried setting the modem to com3, irq 5, again using the switches, and had the same result. Normally, I've found that this comes from an incorrect irq specification, but that wasn't the case here (setserial reported correct information both times). I haven't yet tried adding my external modem on the built-in com port. Any ideas on this one? Any help would be much appreciated. -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Since all the world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the more enduring story rather than the story that is less enduring" -- The Judgment of St. Colum Cille

Re: [newbie] Video Config in Linux *Help!*
You are still at 640x480 8bpp because you are probably using the vga16 server, not the XBF_i740 server. To solve this, go to /usr/X11R6/bin and make a symbolic link to the XBF_i740 file as follows: cd /usr/X11R6/bin ln -s XBF_i740 XF86_SVGA Then run Xconfigurator and select unlisted card, select SVGA server, select the proper settings for your monitor, and answer "don't probe" when it appears. Then you'll be asked for the video ram, my Stealth II G460 has 8mb, you specify what's right for your card. After that select "No clockchip", "skip" probe, and finally select your desired resolution and color depth. It's recommended that you select only the resolution you want to work with, and not the lower ones. After that just say "ok" and you're done!
