Re: running anaconda to test it.
How do you test anaconda. I made some changes to the pixmaps and I wanna test it before I burn it to cd. I might set up a special entry in /etc/lilo.conf or s special boot floppy that mounts the ISO image as if it were a CD, and runs it from there. You might read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/initrd.txt for more handy hints;-) I'm using 6.2 I've tried: ./anaconda --gui --rootpath=path/I/want/to/install/it/in --method=dir://path/to/my/modified/redhat/dist This starts up and gives me the RedHat logo but then craps out with some error which doesn't really give me any information Didn't help us either. ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list

One thing I hate about "bug" reports is when people say "it printed an error message" and don't bother to copy and paste it. Matt I agree with your comments. Nonetheless, messages presented to inform the user a) Should be visible to the user (how many Linux errors aren't?) b) Should be intelligible to a reasonably competent user. c) Should point the user in the direction of resolving the problem (if the message arises because of one). A message that we can't blame on MAT and which fails in all criteria: "lp1 on fire" - worse, the message is perpeturated as "usblp1 on fire." Both are alive in the 2.4.test5 kernel. Perhaps I can concede that this one's most likely to appear in circumstances where there's no user to see the message, but not always. It's a kernel message, and the only place a user is likely to find it is in /var/log/messages. So it fails on visibility. A competent user might surmise there's a problem with the printer. My wife might dump a bucket of water on it. It fails too, because it leads nobody (except, perhaps a kernel hacker) to a solution.

I recently installed 8.11 on a va-linux 6.2.1 box and this is what I did
after unbundling the tar file, I created a site.config.m4 file consisting of three
lines. I wanted regular expression mapping turned on so that I could filter out
various viruses and other nasty beasts. I also wanted TCP wrappers turned on for
connection level access control:
define(`confMAPDEF',`-DMAP_REGEX')
define(`confLIBS',`-lwrap')
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-DTCPWRAPPERS')
place the site.config.m4 file in "/sendmail-8.11.0/devtools/Site/site.config.m4"
as specified by the build instructions. cd to the source directory and run the
build command ("sh Build -c"). I then installed using the build command as well.
Note, that this will trash the sendmail RPM you probably have installed. You may
want to remove the sendmail and sendmail-cf RPM's before starting.
One classic place the transition between 8.9.3 and 8.11.0 causes grieve is the
change in location of many files. 8.11.0 puts all of its configuration files in
"/etc/mail". You may want to change this but I would not recommend it to because it
would mess up anyone following after you. the most common things to trip over is
moving sendmail.cf and aliases into "/etc/mail".
my sendmail.mc file is listed below. I made some changes from the stock Red Hat mc
the file which is to turn off auto rebuild, turn off ident queries, and a few
others. You can do the diffs if you want the full story.
I set up webmin because a not very technical person was going to administer e-mail
accounts. I discovered a small bug in the config.info file. you need to change the
location of the sendmail.cf file and the default settings won't you. The first two
lines in the configuration file and with a ",8". Change that to ",0", then change
the sendmail.cf location to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and all of the other tools seem to
work okay.

It will become hdc when installed. However, RH 6.2 needs a boot partition below 1023 on hda. Currently I have RH installed on hda4 that boots from a floppy with lilo which satisfies that requirement. I've read the install docs and still don't understand how to seperate the /boot from / and the rest of RH installed elsewhere. Could someone explain? Also, with the release of lilo-21.4.3, the 1023 cylinder requirement is null. However, RH 6.2 doesn't come with that version. Is there a way to completely install RH on hdc without using hda for booting? Install linux, tell it to install the boot sector on /dev/hdc. Make sure the install program creates a boot floppy. Boot into linux using the floppy Insert a disposable floppy (other than your emergency boot disk) and run: lilo -b /dev/fd0 This will put the lilo boot image on the boot sector of the floppy. Whenever you want to boot Linux, just insert the floppy and go. It's almost as fast as the hard-drive boot sector. Keep both these floppies around. The emergency boot floppy has a kernel and small filesystem on it so you can boot into linux and do repair work if anything should happen to your hard drive. The lilo floppy just has a special boot sector that points to your kernel and root partition on hdc. The lilo floppy will boot faster but is entirely dependent on your system being in perfect working order. If you ever change the location of your kernel (or install a new one), you'll need to run that lilo command again with the floppy in the drive. Sorry for not responding sooner for an old topic. I understood that guy wanted to boot his linux from the hard disk, not from floppy. Is there a way to perform that but not painful too much?

Re: lilo problem (no. of cylinders 1023)
Matt Housh wrote: I went thru the info provided on this page. According to that I should be doing a mapping of C/H/SC/H/S 8682/64/32 = 1106/255/53 The above page also says that I should provide the new geometry to the kernel thru the lilo boot prompt. But what do I do if I am doing fresh install and the scsi disk is the only available disk on the system? For fresh install, I tried to give linux sda=1106,255,63 during the 'boot:' prompt, but that did not help. The above doc also says that BIOS gives the geometry figures before the kernel is booted. Is it possible to change the geometry in the BIOS itself? The difference in that document and what you're trying to do is that you're using a SCSI card, which provides its own bios to control the drives. When you use IDE, that's on the motherboard, but not SCSI. It should still work to pass the parameters on the lilo boot line, though. What does it do when you try it? And have you checked in fdisk during the install to see if the geometry is correct then? Matt Sorry for not answering earlier to this old topic. When I handle SCSI disks I only face to this geometry problem when I try to install Linux NOT onto the first SCSI drive in the set (second, 3rd, etc). I suggest to install Linux (mean /boot partition) onto the first disk, and rest on other disk(s) so there might be no problem at all.

That's probably easiest if you install OpenSSH from www.openssh.com. They have Red Hat rpms, and once installed I'm pretty sure they're already set to run when the system starts.

If /root was detached or unlinked, then all of the files and directories are now in /lost+found. If you can figure out where they were, originally, then you can move them back into place. Since your filesystem has suffered damage, I'd probably verify the integrity of the system like: rpm -Va /tmp/rpm.Va.out 21 Look for any missing files.

Whenever you want to boot Linux, just insert the floppy and go. It's almost as fast as the hard-drive boot sector. Sorry for not responding sooner for an old topic. I understood that guy wanted to boot his linux from the hard disk, not from floppy. Is there a way to perform that but not painful too much?

Actually Kambiz helped me figure it out (Thanks!). Turns out completely operator error. Sometime back I stuck my dynamic dns name in sendmail.cf, and actually forgot about it. So the 'mail' on the CLI was picking this up, and since I have port 25 firewalled ATM, the list response mail was getting blocked. Doh! Mutt is rewriting some of the headers, so that is why that worked. -- Hal B [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Redhat Blacklist
In this case the problem was Hal's system doesn't allow SMTP connections externally, so the confirmations back to his system were/are deferred. If he uses mutt and sets the address to his ISP account all is well. All lists at Red Hat are now managed by Mailman and should operate smoothly. Let me know if you have any problems.

Re: serious problem--help
Don't tell me you always login as root do you :-) ? Anyway, if you had to recreate your /root directory then yes you are running everything for the first time again. Try looking in the /lost+found directory to see if you can retrieve anything.
