[newbie] unresolved symbol ioctl
Hi, Q1 I am trying to invoke system calls from kernel space i.e by writing my own kernel module. But i am getting unresolved symbol for ioctl system call whenever i try to load my module using insmod command. For your information i am not getting unsresolved symbols for other system calls like open, read etc. Q2 Is there any way to get struct inode *using file descriptor as input like the way we get struct file * using fget call to which we pass file descriptor as parameter. Any info regarding the above 2 querries are welcome. Thanks and Regards.

RE: [newbie] cannot connect with modem.
I have read everything on linuxmodems but I didn't find anything about my modem (Micronet Shuttle 3000E, having Texas RK 56000 chipset. Neather find anything from Texas too) But I wonder, as it is an external Hayes modem, has to have a driver realy? Standard commands for Hayes modem shouln't be ok? At least can't I make it work with Hayes commands at lower speeds? (not V90) Yes, I think I use KDE (this one who looks like windows) and there is nothing about modem settings even on expert mode. MUST exist a config file for modems I believe. I can take the 2 more CDs of Mandrake from a friend, isn't anything there? (I have also a web camera - Creative USD II- and a Winfax TV/FM card , it can't regognize them too. A old scanner -Targa 800C with IF01 card- too). I didn't believe I will have problem with my modem connection, only with these. I enclose the answer from Micronet - a part of it- Sorry sir, Micronet does not support Linux technical service. You can find some technical service company like RedHat and serching for the solution. PS. I want to run an Apache/MySQL configuration on this for e-commerce development (OSC).

Re: [newbie] screwed (but workable) partitions

Why is Mandrake able to work on such a partition table? What I did: a) reduce the Win partition b) create manually (using the diskdrake tool at the installation step) partitions c) and that was all! Tx Marc PS: CC me in your replies! I hope you don't mind me not being able to answer your question, but I'm curious what is going on here. Question: Where did you read this table, in linux fdisk ? , Dos fdisk ? Partition Magic ? I note according to this table you have 4 Primary and 3 logical partitions.Nothing wrong in that, but I have always gone 1 Primary, 1Extended, divided into any number of logicals, and I just wonder whether this may have a bearing upon your question. When you first made your partitions for W Me , it must of been after creating some of these partitions because , you have a linux partition as your hda1. nothing wrong with that , but again I'm curious here. I'm less than sure what you are installing. You have Windblows Me, Linux 8.0 and Linux8.2, and so you are tripple booting already, and you would like to overwrite presumeably M8.0 with Redhat(V ?). I'm interested to install Redhat myself sometime, and so I am curious as to how you get on. I like to do all my partitioning with just one tool, currently for me that is Partition Magic V7 , that is only because of some limitations of diskdrake which is fine otherwise. I'm purely guessing but my first thoughts are that RH doesn't like, for some reason, your partition table and wants you to reorder it somehow. Is hda1 ( 3 primary) your /boot partition ?

[newbie] alsa rc2 and lm8.2
I have been pursuing an issue with getting alsa rc2 to run with LM8.2 on the alsa user group and think I have a reason for my problem. Now I'm curious as to whether anyone on this list has it working, and if so, how? The problem is that having built the alsa modules successfully, I get unresolved symbols when trying to modprobe the sound card driver. The suggestion is that this is because of a versioning problem. Here's a copy of a response to my post which seems to make sense to me: --- Could be that there is a problem with the module versioning setting in the kernel. If I interpret your message correctly, then you have installed the kernel binary rpm, and are running that and have installed the sources rpm to get the kernel headers etc. needed to build ALSA. If this is so and the setting of Use module versions (or something like that) [last item on the modules page of make xconfig for the kernel] is different in the sources and the running kernel then the ALSA build process will generate different names from those the kernel expects. Try reconfiguring the kernel sources to switch the state of versioning flag then try rebuilding ALSA. As I am not an experienced kernel builder, I would welcome any reports from this list on working rc2 installs before I get into that. Am I right in thinking that if this is the problem, there is a discrepancy between these rpm's (these are the ones I have installed): kernel-2.4.18.8.1mdk-1-3mdk kernel-headers-2.4.18-25mdk kernel-source-2.4.18-8.1mdk TIA Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] samba config
I have a cable modem and a small 4 port router hub. I just plugged the cat5 from my lm8.2 machine, into the router/hub and mandrake was able to go one without a hitch (much easier than the win2k machine). But I wanted the two machine to be able to share files. I went through the samba config app (it said if you don't know what you are doing take the default - I took the default). But now I can't get out to the internet. My guess is that samba wants a static ip address not dhcp - just my guess. So I think that part is setup dhcp and part is static and no part of the network works ( I have a netnowork setup appartenly). Is this fixable so that I can get out using my little router?

[newbie] Permissions VMware
Dear All, I installed VMware onto my new Athlon machine with LM8.2. Everthing went fine until I tried to install Windows 95. It just gave me a disk error message, and making sure that the floppy was first to boot in the bios did not change it. It is VMware 2.0.4 which worked well on my old Pemtium machine with LM8.2. Then things got worse. I, also, am having problems getting my license file recognized from root. Besides those 2 things, I ended up with a permissions problem somehow, tried to fix it, and now all of my efforts with that give me this message: VMware Workstation must be set-UID root, /usr/bin/vmware is not Are you running /usr/bin/vmware from its distribution directory? That copy of the program is not set-UID root. Now I cannot even open VMware at all. How can I get the permissions to allow me, the only user and owner of this machine to use vmware. I am not new to vmware really but feel very new to it right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] somewhat OT: putting my server box on the Internet
yes you do.. either setup a dns server or use your ISP's, it depends if they let you or not.. the manuals you should be looking at are for bind or dyndns then you set your new dns server up to be the master for your domain name.. (your ISP will probably second it for you.) then anyone that does a lookup for that domain will get the IP from their dns which get it from a higher dns.. and so on and so on till it gets back to your dns server.. which tells them its your domain and gives the IP address you associated with it. so start looking into bind or dyndns. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kenn Murrah Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 1:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] somewhat OT: putting my server box on the Internet in order to serve your web pages to the world, using Apache I presume, you should have a static IP address from your ISP.

When you first made your partitions for W Me , it must of been after creating some of these partitions because , you have a linux partition as your hda1.

I'm less than sure what you are installing. You have Windblows Me, Linux 8.0 and Linux8.2, and so you are tripple booting already, and you would like to overwrite presumeably M8.0 with Redhat(V ?). I have Win ME and LM 8.2 (updated from LM 8.0). But indeed I would like to overwrite LM8.2 with RH, not that I dislike LM, but I need RH for some ``supported'' packages (looks like Win!!) I'm interested to install Redhat myself sometime, and so I am curious as to how you get on. I like to do all my partitioning with just one tool, currently for me that is Partition Magic V7 , that is only because of some limitations of diskdrake which is fine otherwise. I'm purely guessing but my first thoughts are that RH doesn't like, for some reason, your partition table and wants you to reorder it somehow. Is hda1 ( 3 primary) your /boot partition ? hda1 is Win Me had3 is /boot indeed and lies in the first 433754 sectors. Regarding the answer of Civileme: So Mandrake allows that. OK.

RE: Jonathan Shilling RE: [newbie] VMware problem
Ok, I assume that the OS you need to load is Win2k, correct? First off, from what I've read of your config, you should have no problems loading this on your machine, and if you have already loaded other OS's, then it must be something in your VMware configuration. Have you checked those settings to see if they are correct? Also, you may need to use a larger VMware drive setting, I would suggest 4GB, if you have that much available for use. Currently, I am using 6GB for my win2k load. Try using 4GB and check all of your settings in the VMware Settings Configuration Editor. Check the amount of RAM that VMware is allocating to your Win2k load as well, it may not be giving it enough memory to load/run properly. My load requires a minimum of 192MB of RAM, yours may need 128MB. -Original Message- From: Lúcio Costa de Almeida [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 2:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Att: Jonathan Shilling RE: [newbie] VMware problem Thanks for your help Jonathan, I tried install others OS, Win98/Me and Linux.

[newbie] difficulties hooking into internet (ethernet card, cable modem, hub)
I'm running Mandrake 8.2 with kernel 2.4.18-6mdk (on a system that originally had Mandrake 8.0 on it).

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com OK basically you cannot connect to the cable modem through a hub, or connect more than one computer at a time through it to be proper. The first one gets its IP address and there are no more to be given by the cable modem. If you want to connect multiple computers through a single cable modem, connect the Mandrake computer and then add a second interface to a hub for the other computers--eth0 to local and eth1 to cable then activate connection sharing The dhcp failure you are geting is most likely the connection misconfiguration.

Or should I reinstall Linux Mandrake setting hda4 as Logical? Marc Like some of the others, I'm puzzled, which might just be my ignorance showing. Here's your partition table from an earlier post (I've tightened up the spacing to improve visibility: Partition Table for /dev/hda FirstLast # Type Sector Sector Offset Length Filesystem Type (ID) Flags -- --- - -- - -- - 3 Primary0 433754 63 433755 Linux (83) None (00) 1 Primary 433755 9622934 0 9189180 Win95 FAT32 (LBA) (0C) Boot (80) 2 Primary 9622935 39070079 0 29447145 Extended (05) None (00) 5 Logical 9622935 11181239 63 1558305 Linux swap (82)None (00) 4 Primary 11181240 11984489 0 803250 Linux (83) None (00) 6 Logical 11984490 20161574 63 8177085 Linux (83) None (00) 7 Logical 20161575 39070079 63 18908505 Linux (83) None (00) So the extended hda2 partition (which actually I was never able to see during the installation of Mandrake 8.0 or 8.2) encompasses the Linux ext2 partitions hda3-hda7. It doesn't look to me like it encompasses hda3, which *precedes* it, if I'm not mistaken. That's the first thing that seems odd to me, that you seem to have chopped off both the back *and* the front of your original windows partition. It looks to me like you started out with the original windows partition, reduced it, then made the rest of the disk an extended primary partition (which would normally have been) divided into several logical partitions. However, you tried to designate at least two of those logical partitions as primary, which in my inexperienced eyes breaks the logic of the system. I'm wondering if the primary between 0 and 433754 is DiskDrake's way of avoiding the contradition of making a *part* of an extended primary a primary partition itself, by taking a chunk out of the windows partition and thus staying out of the 9622935 to 39070079 extended partition which I wouldn't think could *contain* a primary. But then you designated *another* of the contained partitions as primary, and apparently this time DiskDrake said, OOOkay, if that's what you want. But I'm not surprised RedHat wouldn't swallow it. Why is Mandrake able to work on such a partition table? Good question. Like Civeleme said, it must be pretty damned robust. What I did: a) reduce the Win partition b) create manually (using the diskdrake tool at the installation step) partitions c) and that was all! All you did, it appears to me, was ask it to make primary partitions out of partitions which were themselves part of an extended primary partition, which in my admittedly limited understanding is a bad thing to do. . . . Regarding the answer of Civileme: So Mandrake allows that. OK. But is there a way now to ``fix'' this, or do I have to live along with this? Or should I reinstall Linux Mandrake setting hda4 as Logical? Marc It would make sense to try that, at least according to my quite possibly mistaken understanding of the logic of partitioning. However, RedHat has several times barfed on my Mandrake partitions, and I'm pretty sure I had had an hda1 primary at /, hda2 primary swap, hda3 primary at /home, and a primary extended into logical partitions hda5 at /usr and hda6 at /var (if I remember correctly). I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem, but it said each time that it couldn't read the partition table. I've been attributing it to the fact that the Mandrake partitions were ReiserFS, but I don't know. So you might still have to wipe. Of course, my analysis is probably full of holes, since I don't know much about partitioning except by trying to logic it out. Dale Huckeby Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
