Re: [newbie-it] disco di avvio mandrake 7.1
Sul mio computer ho sia Windows che Linux Mandrake 7.1. Siccome devo reinstallare Windows, come faccio a fare un disco di avvio per Linux dato che quello che avevo fatto durante l'installazione mi si e' danneggiato? Ti sbobino un mio articoletto sull'argomento. Spero sia utile. saluti ^^^ .-.Antonio Ninuzzo /v\http://king.rett.polimi.it/~ant /( )\ powered by Linux, FreeBSD ^^ ^^ vota http://www.polimi.it su http://sole.ilsole24ore.com/premiowww/voto.html thanx! ^^^ creare un dischetto di avvio Se non lo si è fatto durante l'installazione, è bene farlo per avere un modo per avviare Linux nel caso ad es. LILO venga cancellato da un altro sistema operativo che si installa successivamente. Si può mettere il proprio kernel in un dischetto semplicemente tramite il comando: $ cp /boot/vmlinuz /dev/fd0 Se bootando dal dischetto ottenete un messaggio di errore del tipo: request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 08:06 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount fs on 08:06 vuol dire che il kernel non riesce a montare la partizione di root. Ad es. nel caso precedente il kernel sta tendando di montare come partizione di root /dev/sda6 (che corrisponde al codice esadecimale 806), che nel mio caso non esiste, poiché ho un HD IDE. Eppure lo stesso kernel funziona quando avviato da LILO. Perché? Perché LILO gli passa un parametro del tipo: root=/dev/hda2 ma in questo caso LILO non c'è sul dischetto, quindi occorre impostare questo parametro direttamente nel kernel al posto del valore originario (/dev/sda6 nell'esempio precedente). Per fare questo basta togliere la protezione di scrittura al dischetto e dare il comando: $ rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2 E con questo il vostro semplice disco di boot di emergenza dovrebbe funzionare, altrimenti continuate a leggere. Alcune distribuzioni includono l'utility mkbootdisk, che è uno script della bash per creare facilmente un disco di boot più sofisticato ed adatto al vostro sistema: il disco viene formattato col filesystem ext2, viene creata una directory /boot nel dischetto in cui vengono copiati tutti i file necessari a lilo, tutti i file di dispositivo necessari sono creati in /dev e nella root viene copiato il kernel vmlinuz-versione, e se necessario viene creato un file initrd.img, che contiene l'immagine di un ramdisk (initrd sta per initial ramdisk) che permetterà di caricare i moduli del kernel per accedere a dischi SCSI o RAID, cosa che è necessaria solo se il filesystem di root si trova su uno di questi dischi. Infine viene installato lilo nel settore di avvio. mkbootdisk si occupa di tutti i dettagli, tra cui quello di andare a guardare nel file /etc/fstab qual'è il device corrispondente alla partizione di root e aggiungere l'opzione root=/dev/... nel file /etc/lilo.conf del dischetto. L'uso di questa utility è riservato all'utente root e l'unico argomento richiesto per creare un disco di boot nel dispositivo /dev/fd0 è il numero della versione del kernel, che ad es. si può ricavare col comando uname: Es.: # mkbootdisk --verbose `uname -r` Insert a disk in /dev/fd0. Any information on the disk will be lost. Press Enter to continue or ^C to abort: Formatting /dev/fd0... done. Copying /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk... done. Creating initrd image... done. Setting up lilo... done. Added linux * Per maggiori informazioni: mkbootdisk --help man mkbootdisk

How do I configure xfree86 4 to produce legible fonts while still using the highest resolution on my monitor?

Re: [newbie] gcc ?
On Thursday 31 May 2001 23:53, you wrote: I just curious about the gcc 2.96 packaged with Mandrake 8.0, is it stable ? because the history of gcc 2.96 packaged with redhat 7.0 was not good right ? Well, the number 2.96 was abandoned by the gcc team. We used it to identify our pruning from the 3.0 development tree. It was many months after RH made thier gcc 2.96. It has been tested for six full months. It makes programs correctly however it is probably a lot stricter than the gcc compilers your are used to. It does not include standard headers by default, you have to be explicit. It builds Python and Perl so they pass ALL their regression tests. 2.95 never did that for us. Everything seems to work better with this compiler. Now gcc 3.0 is out, and we are testing it, but don't expect an overnight switch. It took about 4 moths of testing for us to make a technical decision about this compiler even though we needed it for development work on future processors, and it may take that long again in testing before we accept gcc 3.0. Remember that a lot of the programs on this distro are bleeding-edge, and we cannot maintain or debug them without being able to trust our compiler. Civileme

Re: [newbie] Partition problem after install
On Friday 01 June 2001 03:35, Ivor Blockley wrote: Hi I just installed mandrake 7.2 and now dos can't see my fat32 extended partitions (although linux still sees them). Prior to the mandrake install my harddrive was configured into 5 partitions - a primary dos fat32 parition (c:) which I had recently formatted (in fact I was so slack I didn't make it bootable even), and 4 logical fat32 paritions d to g. Parititons e through to g contained valuable data, but paritition d was emtpy. So when I installed linux I used diskdrake to delete partition d and replace it with the required linux paritions. Mandrake works fine but when I boot up, say using a win98 boot disk, dos can see c:, but no other hard drive paritions. Anyone know what happened and how to fix it? I can still obviously access all my data through linux, but it would be nice to have dos back to normal. Thanks, Ivor Yes, the first extended partition has a type code that says 0x83 which is a stop sign to windows. It quits looking. Partitiona are organiized as follows: On the first sector of the drive bytes 446-461 First primary partition info or extended paqrtition pointer if no primaries 462-477 2nd primary or extended pointer 478-493 3rd primary or extended pointer 494-509 4th primary or extended pointer 510-511 Signature bytes (end of sector) Now whichever one points to an extended partition simply points to the first sector of an extended partition... In that first sector in the same area are two data fields--one gives size ans starting info about the partition and the other points to the NEXT extended partition first sector where the pattern of info is repeated, until all extensions are described. Windows sees the linux type code and looks no further. To stop this, and to recover your windows data, figure some good place to put it. Then use fdisk (linux) to toggle the type of the former D: drive to FAT32. You should then be able to see the other drives and recover the data from them. Then stomp the whole extended partition scheme and leave the rest of the disk UNPARTITIONED. Then reinstall linux, making any windows partitions FIRST. Sorry, but windows simply does not have the intelligence to look beyond a linux partition. Alternatively, you can use GNU/linux to copy the data from the windows partitions to the first windows partitions, but you can never make those later partitions accessible to windows, without surgery on the partition table and reinstalling Mandrake's distribution of GNU/linux.

I use the mknod command:...mknod /dev/fd0H1743 b 2 76 and I get. mknod: /dev/fd0H1743: File exists Well, if the floppy device already exists in /dev, there's not much point in running a mknod on it -- all that does is create a special file with entries into the driver table (that's what the '2 76' is for - it's like an array offset into a jump table.) dd if=cish-0.9.0-dist.img of=/dev/fd0H1743 bs=512 Well, you should just use '/dev/fd0' regardless of the size of the image. Of course, you have to format the disk with a higher density, which is what I suppose you are trying to do.

NIC Billionton 10/100 Base/FastEthernet can not function. In the diskette in Readme.txt, I found the ways to install it in ReadHat 6.0 like this: 1. Login as root 2. Copy lnax100.o to /lib/modules/2.2.5 3. Copy config.lna100b to etc/pcmcia 4. Edit file /etc/pcmcia/config, add : source./config.lna100b 5. Restart card manager - /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart 6. logg off as root I've done all that but still I can't activate my NIC. Could you please help me! Thanks alot.

Re: [newbie] monitor resolution
Edit the order of the fonts in the xfs config file: vi /etc/X11/fs/config (it probably has the 75 point first and the 100point second. Reverse that, and put the 100 point first.). Then, stop restart xfs: service xfs restart Then stop restart X (a little trickier). If you're using kdm/gdm Select the Restart X Server option from the pull down. If you're booting to run level 3 (console loging, and running startx by hand: STOP IT!).. oh.. excuse me. Just log out to the console, and log back in. You should now have the revised fonts. It's possible that you MAY have to re-boot. X generally doesn't like you messing with it's fonts while it's running... Ric Edward Barrow wrote: How do I configure xfree86 4 to produce legible fonts while still using the highest resolution on my monitor? The KDE help centre suggests editing the order of the fonts lines in xf86config, but there are no such lines, just a note saying that a font server is now used. Where is the relevant config file for the font server? under windows I used 125dpi fonts so it is not surprising that 75dpi are illegible Edward Barrow

It may work with reduced capacity as a non-RAID controller, but the driver Promise made available to Andre Hedrick for FastTraks in non-RAID mode is lucky to see one channel and limit itself to one device on that channel. In fact tests have shown it not to work more often than not. The regular IDE channel on this is ATA-66/100 as well, and should work unimpeded.

NOWHERE was there mentioned the FCC registration, which meant I still had to parse http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/20010531a.html Manually. This did not improve my attitude toward Silly WinModems, not even one little bit. Your modem does appear to be listed with this FCC ID FELTAI-33947-M5-E And the listing is in bright RED. There is a Conexant driver, and it does work with some conexant winModems, but this isn't, apparently one of them. If you feel like investing a great deal of time, you might get it to work, but it is definitely cheaper to go get a modem that is listed on the same page with a GREEN bar on the left. Civileme
[newbie] network problems
HW: Epox mbd, w/ resources set manually, AMD K6-2/350, 256MB SDRAM 3Com 3c509, port=300, irq=10 Everything worked ok under Windows. Just installed Mandrake 8.0 Standard Edition, and everything appears fine except the network (internal LAN). On one level it appears to be configured, but on another level something is wrong. When I try to ping anything (including myself) I get: Network is unreachable (I can ping the loopback (127.0.0.1), but that's pointless). The clearest indicator I've found in my searching is during interactive bootup: /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o.gz invalid parm_io and /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o.gz insmod eth0 failed When I use draknet I get stuck in an infinite loop where it asks me what card to try, then fails to locate it and asks again. I checked the resources, and there aren't any conflicts. And to dispell any doubts, the case is open -- the card is a 3Com Etherlink III 3C509b. Running netconf, the settings are: Host name + domain:me.ohmy.com Enabled on Config mode: Manual Primary name + domain:me.ohmy.com IP address:153.6.76.76 Netmask:255.255.0.0 Net device:eth0 Kernal module:3c509 I/O port:300 Irq:10 Looking thru the archives, I saw ifconfig used, so I tried it. #ifconfig lo Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr: 127.0.0.0netmask: 255.0.0.0 ... #ifconfig eth0 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found All attempts to configure eth0 (not that I know what I'm doing) result in: SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device address: Host name lookup failure Got a clue I could use?
