[newbie] Problems with kernel mounting
After a clean install of Mandrake 7.0, I restarted my computer (after properly shutting down). Everything seemed fine. I could boot into both Linux into Windows 98 using BootMagic (part of PartitionMagic). However, the next morning the kernel would not fully load. The following is a copy of the page of kernel output where it stopped (by the way, I run Linux from hda3, hda2 is a swap partition and the rest are for Windows): Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda5 hda3 hda4 Autodetecting RAID arrays autorun...

The boot disc I made during the installation process works flawlessly, and I can even use X when booted with it. However, I do not want to boot with a disc every time, nor do I want to use the cut-down kernel that it contains. I've tried booting by typing 'linux emergency' at the LILO boot prompt unmounting drives using 'umount -a' followed by a reboot. I've also tried running fsck e2fsk after unmounting my drives. The first time I ran fsck it found fixed several errors. When I reboot, the OS indicates that it is unmounting filesystems. Despite these attempts, I received the same error each time I restarted linux. I would appreciate any help given, but please keep it simple, as I am quite new to linux (but not to DOS/Windoze).

[newbie] USB Mouse Trouble...
I had a USB mouse working (that was autodetected during the installation) which has suddenly stopped working. If I run GPM to accept input from a ps2 mouse it sees the mouse, just goes nuts when I move it. 'mouseconfig' sees a USB mouse... What happened is something that I am not quite sure of...I was up and running just fine, I installed ncftpd, rebooted, and the mouse just doesn't work in X or in the console. The mouse works fine if I boot the Mandrake 7 installation cd. Running 'mouseconfig' from the command line doesn't appear to help, it just reports that it detected a USB mouse but does not appear to configure it for use on the sytem. Any clues or words of advice? Thanks! Tony Blackmon

If so, what do I need to do to fix things? 2) when I login in as root and choose the GNOME option, I see the usual GNOME panel at the bottom of the screen.

Re: [newbie] What does [PTBL] mean??
You have defenitely jumped onto the learning curve by conquering the ultra 66 card. CONGRATULATIONS! I think [PTBL] equals "Partition Table." To mount your Windows partition: 1) Type "fdisk -l" from a console to list the partitons 2) From the above command, identify the partition you want to mount (I will refer to this partition as /dev/hdxy, but replace the "x" and "y" with the actual letter and number shown from the "fdisk -l" output) 3) Type "cd /mnt" without the quotes 4) Type "mkdir windows" to create a new directory called /mnt/windows (this will become your windows mount point very shortly) 5) Type "mount -t vfat /dev/hdxy /mnt/windows" (remember to replace the "x" an "y" with the letter and number that matches your partition) 6) Now use any file explorer to view the contents of your /mnt/windows directory. You should see the contents of your Windows partition. You can use Linuxconf to make Linux automatically mount this partition every time you start Linux, but I will let you attempt that yourself. When performing the above steps, remember that Linux is "case sensitive" (example: to Linux "mkdir" does not equal "MKDIR") I'm not at my Linux box, so the above was from memory.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake7: security level 3 and ftp/telnet deamon
Make sure that you have the proper packages installed. The entries in inetd.conf will be there regardless of whether the telnet server or ftp server are installed. Try running rpm -qa |grep telnet If you don't get a line something like the following then you don't have the telnet server installed and you won't be able to telnet to your box (this is from a Mandrake 6.1 box YMMV): telnet-server-0.12-10mdk I don't know what package to look for for the ftp server as I don't have that installed at the moment.

About supermount as a new feature, if you know how to recompile your kernel, go to freshmeat.net, and search for supermount, there is a patch for supermount... It seems that during the install of LM 7.0 or the the first time I booted, thesystem recognized I had a CD-RW. So it must have set up the CD-RW on "/dev/scd0". Try "cdrecord -scanbus". That should show that the systems sees your CD burner. If that works, edit "/etc/fstab" and look for the line for your CD drive. Change it so that the part where it says "dev=/dev/cdrom" reads "dev=/dev/scd0". Try and read a disk, you may have to umount the device by hand first. I don't know why this works. I got errors when I tried to mount "/dev/hdc" which I think should have worked since that is where the kernel identifies it as being at start up. You may also have to setup SCSI emulation by hand, neither the install nor the start up procedure told me it did.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake7: security level 3 and ftp/telnet deamon
Hmm, that makes it a little more open as to what the problem might be. If it were my box I would try the following (based on the assumption that you are connected to the net with an ethernet interface): 1) see if I can ping my box locally to see if my interfaces are configured ping 127.0.0.1 (If it works means that your lo interface is working) ping your.actual.ip.here (If it works it PROBABLY means that your eth0 interface is working correctly) 2) see if I can ping my box externally to further see if my interfaces are working properly ping your.actual.ip.here (If it works then your box is definitely visible from the outside world) 3) see if inetd is running ps -ef |grep inet should result in a lines like: root 435 1 0 Jan23 ?00:00:01 inetd root 28725 28349 0 14:31 pts/100:00:00 grep inet 4) see if the tcp_wrappers package is installed this is the tcpd piece that you see in inetd.conf, do a man tcpd for more info (if it's installed of course.) rpm -qa |grep wrapper Should result in something like: tcp_wrappers-7.6-8mdk 5) try using tcpdump to see what your ethernet interface is actually seeing when you telnet or ftp to it. This is a great tool. Reading the man page is really useful for getting the most of it. tcpdump -i eth0 6) beyond this I am not sure. Again if it were my box I would then start looking for more answers on deja news and begin trying uninstalling and re-installing packages right up to wiping out my box and re-installing from scratch.

It should show what linux thinks is connected to the controller. It's probably /dev/st0 if it's the first tape drive. At the command prompt (logged in as root) enter: mt -f /dev/st0 status And check what it gives you. You can also look at: cat /proc/scsi/scsi to see what your controller sees. Some of the exabytes require special commands to set density etc when you use tar to backup. You usually enter them with the mt command. Enter: man mt to see some of the commands. Some of the tape drives require setup files, but I don't have any of those (yes!!!), so I just use mt to set density, partitions, etc and use tar. One thing to note, if you backup with your tape drive and need to restore by booting the floppy and rescue disks, you might not be able to. I hacked the rescue.img to have what I needed in it and made a new rescue floppy. Some of the single disk rescue disks (Tom's boot disk?) might not require this, so check some of them out and make sure you can access the tape and do a restore to to another partition or directory to test.

[newbie] I can't find the in.telnetd
Dear all, I cannot telnet to my Mandrake 6.1 machine. After read the notes and search, I found there is a line in my inetd.conf: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd but, in my /usr/sbin/ , I can't find the file "in.telnetd" (but in.ftpd is there). I think this is my problem. However, where can I get this file? More, I think I 've selected the telnet package while install, but seems the "in.telnetd" 've never been in my machine. I would like to ask, is Mandrake 6.1 doesn't ship the file with us? Thank you very much! Yours, Jason Miu

Re: [[newbie] Email programs?]
I'm running 1.0.28. There are several functions I find missing. Some of these might just be because I am not using it correctly though. I have a hard time sorting my mails by date. They appear in the wrong order at times. I also have to re-enter my passwords for each of my email accounts when I restart the program. Also, when composing a new message, it would be good to be able to select which account to send it through. See, I have to skip between several email accounts used by my school. Different teachers and departments send mail to different accounts.

[newbie] Printer still not working
I have an HP 1000-Cxi printer and it is not working under Linux. When I install Linux or use "printtool" it detects a printer port. I don't understand why it will not print. Nothing shows up in the printer queue either. Is there no one out there with this printer or a similar printer who has had these problems and succeeded in making it work. HELP

Re: [newbie] Lilo 1024 Cyl 64RAM limit
I'd have to say you are stuck with loadlin. You can have Windows/Dos display a menu at startup giving you the choice of O/S. Look at the Loadlin+Win9X howto. Just put the "mem=256M" on the line with loadlin. Here is what mine looks like: c:\linux\loadlin c:\linux\vmlinuz1 root=/dev/hda6 ro mem=128M hdc=ide-scsi ether=10,0xb400,eth0 Richard On Wed, 02 Feb 2000, you wrote: Hello, I have the linux partition starting about 1404 cyl on a 13GB HDD. I tried to make lilo put the boot on every partition on my disk (some of them under 1024 cyl of course) but I still get the message Warning, 14041024 blah blah. So the problem is that he cannot address my linux partition? I cannot move my partition, that would mean to scramble my whole sistem. I'm wandering if there is some workaround. Also it does not see more than 64RAM. I have Mandrake 6.0 with 2.2.14 kernel and I recompiled it with up to 1GB RAM option. But it does not work. I read that I can pass with lilo some parameters to the kernel, something whit append="mem=256MB" but since I can only start with loadlin from dos I cannot do that. Im stuck. Please, can anyone help? Thanks, Alek
