Does this mean I must define a monitor for it to work off of? Thanks Hello I am a newby but I worked a lot around the NVidia drivers a fex days ago to fix my problen.

[newbie] Modules loading error
Hello I have some problems to load the FireWire modules during the boot. What is strange is that it used to work well. Here are the error messages from syslog: kernel: devfs_register(raw1394): could not append to parent, err: -17 kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Error logging into SBP-2 device - login failed kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: sbp2_login_device failed I didn't find what err -17 means and how to fix it. I enclosed more lines of my syslog file at the end of the message. The consequence of the error is that the /dev/sda* nodes are not created. So, I can not access to my external FireWire hard drive. Then, if I plug the HD, I have the following message, which looks OK: kernel: ohci1394_0: SelfID received outside of bus reset sequence kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Node[01:1023]: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048] /etc/hotplug/ieee1394.agent: Setup sbp2 for IEEE1394 product 0x00309e/0x00609e/0x010483 This used to work on my Mandrake 9.0, so there should be a solution.

[newbie] external Firewire harddrive
Hello I have a C810 Dell laptop (same as Inspiron 8100) and and external Firewire HardDrive. This HD used to work properly (it was automatically detected during the installation of MDK 9.0): /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda5 were mounted as /dev/fire1 to /dev/fire5. Then, I didn't use it for a couple of weeks: the HD was no longer plugged to the laptop. I wanted to use it this week. But there is a problem: /dev/sda* are not present. I checked the HD on a PC Windows, it works well. I followed the explanations on http://people.mech.kuleuven.ac.be/~kgadeyne/linux/dell.html#ieee1394, http://www.linux1394.org/doc/libraw1394/book1.html, http://www.linux1394.org/faq.html#sbp2 and http://www.linux1394.org/sbp2.html.

Your PC would have connected to the LAN with a normal cable, but the DSL/modem (misnomer) may require a crossover cable to connect to a PC. Yes it is a misnomer. It's not a modem as there's nothing to be modulate/demodulated (analog POTS <> digital) as the DSL input and output are already digital. It's properly called an ATU-R, (adsl transceiver unit-remote) but most everybody calls 'em modems out of old habits. The Telco's DSLAM is also called an ATU-C(entral). Julien, try installing rp-pppoe. It's on your CD's. Run (as root) 'adsl-setup' (w/o the quotes) and answer the half dozen questions. Your user name should be the whole deal, ie, somethin like [EMAIL PROTECTED] For DNS don't enter any, enter 'server' (w/o the quotes). Typing (as root) 'adsl-start' should do it, 'adsl-stop' to quit See Roaring Penguin's site for more information and help http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ Also, Menu | Documentation | Howto's | DSL-Howto is worth a read. SBC DSL is easy to setup on Mandrake once you have a userID and password. Thank you for the explanation. I tried to use adsl-setup, but it asked me only for my user name, password and dns. Nothing about the provider or anything else. Then, when I ran adsl-start and adsl-connect as root, nothing happend. When I tried to connect to internet with Drakconf, I can see this error message: GLib-CRITICAL **: File gmain.c : line 500 (g_source_renovc): asertion `tag>0' Failed SIOCDELRT: No such process The first time, Drakconf tried to install rp-ppoe. But it failed because it was looking on internet! So, I installed it manually with the RPM found on my cd. How can I check that the installaion was correct? I didn't have any error message when using urpmi. THank you Julien Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] DSL connection (SBC)
Ben wrote: Not sure what you mean my "Ethernet modem", but if you mean an ethernet based DSL modem, then assuming that it's ilke the rest of SBC's DSL network, it's only doing bridging. The PPPoE session is established via your PC through the DSL modem which only establishes the ecnapsulation for whatever protocol your ISP (SBC) is using before sending your PPPoE request to the authenticating server. MODEM is an acronym for MODulate-DEModulate which translates teh signal into what is necessary for the devices to communicate. In the case of DSL, it's the DSL modem talking to the DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexer) over your phone line using frequencies over 8khz (reserved for voice). If you've configured your PPPoE connection in mandrake Network Setup, then you'll need to make sure that the authentication is taking place. Hope this helps. (Erro: message previously sent to Ben only, copy on the newsgroup) Hello I have a modem (I don't thonk it is a router) which must be plugged to the ethernet network card of my computer. Il I try to make a connection using PPPoE, nothing happens. But I noticed that if I choose ppptd instead of PPPoE, the activity led of the modem blinks (but no connections occurs). The network card where my modem is plugged was previously used for my LAN connection. So, maybe I have to change some informations. I tried tu put eth0 in static or dhcp mode, up or down, start at boot or not. But I still cannot connect to internet: the activity led is off. I don't know what to do do make my connection working. I also wonder how the connection manager can understand the provider address: "sbcglobal.net". Does it need to be translated into an IP address?
