Run 'updatedb', and then 'locate supermount.o' this should return: /lib/modules/<2.4.x-version>/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o Bring up '/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime' in an editor and make sure this line (^^). # Disabling supermount if not here if [[ $(uname -m) != sparc* ]];then if grep -q '^\/.*supermount.*' /etc/fstab && \ [ ! -f "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o" ] . ^^^ .matches the 'locate' you got for 'supermount.o' above as mine does. Don't change $(uname -r) or anything that comes before it. Now you'll need to check 'etc/fstab'. You should see... /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 . lines similar to mine, ie, supermount in them. If you don't, you can either swap in a bakup copy of fstab that does, or run 'supermount -i enable' Check to make sure that fstab is now configured for supermount, and re-boot. I could tell ya how to start supermount without re-booting, but this is a lot easier. Now supermount should be functioning properly with a 2.4.x kernel. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

Yes, I've seen you in expert as well. We are both members of that list, also.
To answer your question, you will have to reconfigure your kernel. I have posted the
how to already just a few minutes ago. Just look for my name dealing with a kernel and
you shall find the step by step how-to of it all.

Re: Re[8]: [newbie] The NVIDIA Kernel Compile
Well, apparently supermount support is still missing in the generic 2.4.1
tar.gz cause I went through it again tonight and I saw automount only. Tried
to use it and choose to configure it in as a module. Still no fix. Maybe I
should get the cooker rpms for the kernel.
Oh well, not really such a big deal. I rarely use the cd or floppy anyway
and mount /mnt/cdrom is such a small little command for those rare
occasions.

Fix it manually, because there is no other way of getting supermount to work with your
new kernel otherwise on it's own. You will have to follow Tom Brinkmans's advice on
this one. It is actually simple to do, you probably need to put his instructions into
steps and then print it out on a printer.

Maybe I haven't stressed, _don't_ build supermount into the kernel, ie, don't choose the 'Y' option, make it a module using the 'M' option. If you use ReiserFS, I believe it's better to make it a module also. Choosing to install supermount as a module gives the section of 'mandrake_everytime' that checks for it, a module to find. You just need to edit a 7.2 vintage 'mandrake_everytime' file to the new location that the 2.4 kernels use. Use the 'locate' command to verify 'supermount.o's existence and location first. eg, $(uname -r)/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o . ^ all this bit of code means is the currently booted kernel (don't change it). just to try'n be clear, I'll use my current setup as an example 'locate supermount.o' returns, /lib/modules/2.4.1-tom/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o . $(uname -r) above takes care of this part Also, I'd like to also stress/clarify, that if you compile a 2.4 kernel, you must edit 'mandrake_everytime' BEFORE you boot it the first time. If you don't, then when 'mandrake_everytime' doesn't find 'supermount.o', it overwrites 'fstab' with 'supermount -i disable', and then supermount won't work even with a properly compiled 2.4 kernel with a supermount module. IOW's, the 'mandrake_everytime' file has no code in it to re-enable supermount once it's been disabled. You have to manually fix it then. I've got a feeling I'm not very good at explain'n all this :( -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay > > On Thursday 08 February 2001 08:20 am, you wrote: > > I guy by the name of Tom Brinkman had found the "bug" in the kernel > > script for 2.4.x.

Thank you so much for your reply, and I would do that as I have seen it for
he has posted it in several places; except for (okay, this is really
embarrassing) that I don't seem to have a supermount.o module. I remember an
automount choice in the config, but apparently I completely missed the

I guy by the name of Tom Brinkman had found the "bug" in the kernel script for 2.4.x.
He said that you have to do one of two things. Have had a copy of your old /etc/fstab
with supermount mentioned in it or a direct quote from Tom himself:
edite /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime this line ~~
# Disabling supermount if not here
if [[ $(uname -m) != sparc* ]];then
if grep -q '^\/.*supermount.*' /etc/fstab && \

.^
] && [ -x /usr/bin/perl ];then
action "Disabling Supermount" /usr/sbin/supermount -i disable
~~ to reflect 'supermount.o's new location. Voila! Now I have
2.4.0-11 with supermount on ReiserFS.

re: [newbie] The NVIDIA Kernel Compile
Special note. Up until I reconfigured my card, I would do a /sbin/lsmod and see that my tdfx was not ever used and the agpgart but now I see my tdfx being used and my computer is so much better for it! I think that could explain the improved speed of my cpu, as well. That is all for now. Cheers -- Al [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Have no fear. I also have a Voodoo3 3000 PCI and you are correct.

Re[6]: [newbie] The NVIDIA Kernel Compile
Have no fear. I also have a Voodoo3 3000 PCI and you are correct. You do not need that agp. I had it originally when I compiled and installed my 2.4 kernel from an rpm. But I found out that you can still configure it or make changes to your kernel without having to mess around with any more rpm's or tarhalls. I configured my kernel for total optimization.

Re: Re[6]: [newbie] The NVIDIA Kernel Compile
Hey, I compiled /ran the new kernel on my test machine and saw the options about agpgart support and support for the 440BX/i810/i815 mobos. Is that what you are refering to here? Didn't see anything about Sunrpc locking fix. Where's/what's that? Doesn't one have to download and install a patch to get the nvidia drivers to work with 2.4.0? I thought I read something about it somewhere, but can't find it now. Have you heard anything about it? Should agpgart support be compiled in or as a module, do you know? My test machine has a pci voodoo3, so I didn't get to test out any of these options. With some other little problems, I'm still nervous about doing it to my pride and joy. At least I know how to do it and retain ability to boot into the old kernel now. (messed that one up the first time!)

I did many tricks with agpgart too, from module parameter, unsupported, to trying with the source, downloading an agpgart from intels site (source RPM) and using it, tweaking nvidia's old and new drivers, changing source, increasing and decreasing support of it (you know,for via 4X, agp memory stuff etc), forcing to use its own agp stuff and forcing not to use it, again from the source, but no way! No way it works ! No info I could find on the net Nvidia did not even care to answer a "kind enough to write a very dep letter of info" CUSTOMER, not even a lie " we are working on the subject". I even sent a mail to loki, (well, they are most busy on defining 3D drivers on hardware, I believe) No info on net. No info from "officials" No info from mailing lists. AM stuck !! May god help us !

Re: [newbie] The NVIDIA Kernel Compile
Great thanks. That did the trick. Now if I could get the agpgart moduled to load so I could install the nvidia drivers I would be delirious. -s On Tuesday 26 December 2000 09:56 am, you wrote: > > Most probably nvdriver wont do anything for that. > > What defines your X version, is the link > /etc/X11/X > > if it is linked to something like > /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_ then it is the 3.3.6 > > if it is linked to > /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86then it is 4.0.x > > Also, /var/log/XFree86.0.log is the output of your > last X session, and you can find lot sof info there > too, just a good way to check out things :) > > > To make it 4.0.x straight delete the link and remake > it in the correct way > > rm /etc/X11/X > ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X > > will do the job.

What defines your X version, is the link /etc/X11/X if it is linked to something like /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_ then it is the 3.3.6 if it is linked to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86then it is 4.0.x Also, /var/log/XFree86.0.log is the output of your last X session, and you can find lot sof info there too, just a good way to check out things :) To make it 4.0.x straight delete the link and remake it in the correct way rm /etc/X11/X ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X will do the job.

Re: [newbie] The NVIDIA Kernel Compile
Great link. Thank you for the only one that clearly explains a possible fix for the agpgart failure part. I may get brave and try for the 3rd time. But I do have another newbie problem I hope you may be so kind as to assist me with. The install sets up XFree 3.3.6 and though I have installed the 4.0.1 from the cd in preparation for the NVdriver install, and I know its on here somewhere, X -version reveals that 3.3.6 is being used. How do I ensure that my system uses the 4.0.1 rather than the 3.3.6? (Do I need to do anything or will the nvdriver setup fix that?) -s On Monday 25 December 2000 01:34 pm, you wrote: > checkout http://www.realityx.net/howto.html :)

This will be my first compile and I'm gathering information before compiling. My colleague at work is using mdk7.2 and his NVIDIA and kernel compile was unsuccessful. I wish he would have brought more information for me to view. I'll try to be more specific next time. -- Roman Registered Linux User #179293

If you can't load agpgart try loading with the try_unsupported=f1 option. Greg
