[newbie] I have a strange system!
hello all! I have found out a thing that is quite strange... If I install mandrake 7.2 with ext2 all is fine If I install mandrake 7.2 with reiserfs all is fine If I install Mandrake 8.0 (beta1) with ext2 all is fine But if I install Mandrake 8.0 (beta1) with reiserfs id doesen't work (unable to mount root fs) I think that there is an bug in the 2.4.x kernel that make do so linux can't detect the filesystem correctly on a ASUS A7V motherboard. If I install MD 8 in vmware with reiserfs it works. So MD 8 + reiserfs is working, but not on some of my computers. Because if I install MD 7.2 with raid0 it's working. But If I install a kernel 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 it wount boot up! Same with reiserfs. Is there anyone out there that have been able to get the MD 8 + reiserfs or raid0 (on root) + Asus A7v to working?

SV: SV: [newbie] SV: [newbie] Kernel questions
If I install the kernel-2.4.1-7mdk.i586.rpm my system does
not boot upp
corretcly, it stops when it's going to access the RAID set.
But if I install
the kernel-source-2.4.1-7mdk, enable the RAID support, and
compile the
kernel, then the system boot up correctly.
** Hold up **
That is obvious. Yes, you can run kernel-x.x.x.arch.rpm
without the other kernel-myspecialty-x.x.x.arch.rpm, but if
you plan on reconfiguring your kernel for "special" features,
then you would at least need kernel-source-x.x.x.arch.rpm and
kernel-utils-x.x.x.arch.rpm.
I have made a clean install from the cd's and then did I install the
kernel-source and kernel-headers, but not kernel-utils. Do i need the
kernel-utils?
If I have the sound, scsi and nic as a moduled i doesn't work. But if I
eneble direct support, i works.
Strange or am I make anything wrong?
make mrproper (only first time)
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make install
make modules
make modules install
reboot
I have the / as a RAID0 and only /boot as a "normal" disk.
I think it is beacuse the RAID is as an module.
But If I install the source and kompile the kernel, then I
have other
problem...
** My Turn **
?!?! Source as in tarball or "kernel.x.x.x.src.rpm"?
Other problem? Let me guess, kdeaddutil-type dependency errors?
Yes, but uninstalled the kdeaddtuls
Who says the Linux is simple?
/N
** LoL **
I certainly did not say anything of the sort but we are
trying to get the system to that point!
Good, but way is not the installation paket one big instead of several
small. For example the kde 2.1. I think it would be simpler to download on
files and run the instead of dowloading many and install them in the correct
order.
Another thing is way isn't the rpm's doing a icon on the menu?

SV: SV: [newbie] Problem to compile the kernel 2.4.0 with ADM Athlon setting.
I'm having the same problem but I haven't yet addressed a solution for it since my system works. Question. Did you compile kernel 2.4.0 previously on your system with out any errors? Yes, but I downloaded the 2.4.0 tarball from kernel.org. I didn't get the 2.4.0-5mdk.src.rmp to work. I could not compile anything, it looked like it was files missing. I thing I do something wrong... I didn't get no errors the first time I did it. Then again, I used a Mandrake source rpm file of 2.4.0-4mdk.src.rpm and 2.4.0-5mdk.src.rpm, and installed the resulting rpm files. Now, I am pure tarball. Especially, since 2.4.0-6mdk.src.rpm would never rebuild properly. It would creat the BUILD tree but it wouldn't make not a single rpm package. How are you dooing when you compile? /Niklas __ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/

I see there are several sources available to download from. Thanks in advance, Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] It depends. Specially if like me, you have ReiserFS. I prefer Mandrake kernels because they're already patched to support Mandrake specific features. I've never seen any performance increase with custom compiled kernels either. Mandrake prebuilts are just as good, just as fast. Still I've tried many 2.4.0's from source and prebuilt, Mandrake and otherwise. They all boot fine and everything works ... except supermount. I've heard on the cooker list that 2.4.1-pre9 will work with a supermount-0.5.3-2.4.1-pre9.gz patch, and all 2.4.1-pre8 and higher support ReiserFS. Mandrake kernels have supported Rfs for a long time, vanilla source 2.4.0 kernels will if patched. I'd suggest you try a Mandrake prebuilt. It installs to it's own dir in /usr/src/, and completely sets itself up, lilo changes included, and doesn't interfere in any way with other kernel files. It will be an option when you reboot, your current default will be unchanged. Latest is kernel-2.4.0-5mdk.i586.rpm on any cooker mirror. Last one I tried is -4mdk, and it correctly set itself up in lilo.conf except for adding my ide-scsi append statement.

Direct connections will mean that you'll have to register your DOMAIN name and IP addresses with the internic. There will probably be an associated cost with your ISP to have multiple connections. As a result, most home users don't do this. Rather they resort to having only one internet connected machine. Masq provides internet connection sharing in Linux. Masq'd machines are not really "ON" the internet, though they behave like they are. If this machine will have two interface cards, one to the local lan, and one to the internet, you do the following. FIRST install the one interface card into your system. Set up Linux and give your machine an arbitrary name and domain name. Say: "mylinuxbox.joesplace.com" By default then, "mylinuxbox" becomes the hostname and "joesplace.com" becomes the domain name for your eth0 interface. Since this interface is never "seen" on the internet, this does not cause any problems. Configure your other machines on the protected private lan to be members of the "joesplace.com" domain. You finish configuring your machine, and Linux is happy. Then comes the time to set up your DSL/CABLE modem. Pop in the other Ethernet card, connect the DSL/CABLE modem to it (via a hub or xcross cable) and give it the hostname of "bcurry" and domain of "mediaone.net". Then enable dhcp on the eth1 interface. Though bcurry.mediaone.net might be wrong, dhcp will adjust the host domain name correctly when the connection is first started. Thus once you connect to the internet, you may find that your hostname will change! You may want/need to fix things so this does not happen, or use what the ISP "gives" you. If you are going to run an HTTP, FTP or other internet SERVER you'll need to register your domain with the internic. You'll also need to get your ISP to "FIX" your IP so it doesn't change. You then register your IP with the internic (also get your ISP to add an entry into their DNS...). Each of these will cost a few dollars. If you are not going to run these services, then you can utilize any domain name you want... ...esp. if you will be using dhcp to grab an IP from the ISP. Linux MUST have a host domain name of some sort to prevent those long pauses. Even then you'll still see one or two during startup, as services start up which look for a DNS... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bob Currey Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2001 5:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Help! new 7.2 system has gotten abominably slow As I'm reading this, the install's host name prompt screen sits in front of me. Because of my setup, I am always lost in the how-tos as far as host name is concerned. At the moment, I'm loading a new server. For the time being, it will have eth0 connected to my home net, getting an IP address via the DHCP server on my other Linux box which is currently the server. The 2nd NIC at eth1 is not connected at present, and won't be used till I replace the old server with this new one, and then eth1 will run a DHCP server for the home LAN. The fact that I don't have a Domain has caused me tremendous grief, in that setting up Apache, Samba, a DNS server, the FTP server, the Proxy server, etc, all expect one, when you read the how-tos. For someone not a Linux guru, it makes the stuff incomprehensible, as nothing fits. For that reason, I ended up giving up at least for the time being on installing them on my server (both the old one and new one), but would be very grateful if someone could explain what I'm supposed to fill in when they want you to put in your domain name in these setups. I spent many hours reading and never understood how to set them up as a result. I imagine anyone else with a home LAN that doesn't have a domain name (and this would be normal, I'd expect) would be having the same trouble.
